Senior Prophecy HE year is tgtio, and the white house a little way off' the Reisterstown Road and noted for miles around as the home of the hospitable Harveys is literally overflowing with people, for this is a day twofold in its importance. It is not only Hunt Cup day, but also the day appointed for the reunion of the gradu- ating class of 1941 from the Hannah More Academy. The place is alive with chatter. The twenty years that have added grace and charm to that famous class fthe class of the fancy dressesj slip mysteriously away, leaving happy people wl1o cluster around a Miss Harvey dressed in her usual trim riding habit. Each new arrival is greeted with gleeful sounds of Gosh, we're glad to see you! Barbara XfVhritner is here, trim and grave. Her research on the organic structure of the deadly hIitterbug was her first notable scientific contribution. Now married, she and her husband live quietly on a farm with their ten chil- dren. Also present is Brooks, famous as the dramatic artist, whose readings of lVinnie the Pooh have made the entire world Pooh-conscious. Unmarried and an honorary general in the United States Army, she has homes at NVest Point and in New York. Ushering in a herd of children ranging in age from two to eight, comes Ethel. It seems that she ran a kindergarten. teaching her small charges to sing like so many larks, until she fell in love with the man who sold her building blocks. She now has a private kindergarten made up entirely of her own chil- dren, four sets of twins. Miss Harvey gets a telegram. Dolefully she reads, Sorry-holding a class in debate-will think of you between rounds-Love-Sister Mary Genevieve . Ev- erybody groans, for what is a gathering without -lean Viney! There is a rumor that a tall, tan, terrific Amazon is in our midst. To our relief we find that she is no stranger, but our own comrade, Wilmah vVallace, whom we all remember in the days at H.M.A., when she could sit through any Saturday thriller without turning a hair. As she reacched maturity, she felt the need of adventureg so in order to Gnd excitement she made it herself. She does research in camouflage for the vVar Department and has just returned from Af- rica, where she was searching for an invisible dye. An ear splitting greeting issuing from the threshold subtly acquaints us with the fact that Chesca has arrived. She bounces forward attired in immaculate riding clothes, and, oh yes!-her bangs are still banging in their accustomed place! But what is that petit and henpecked individual standing behind her? Her spouse, a rather timid soul, to be sure, but a most agreeable husband, Clhesca asserts. Suddenly, as swiftly as she arrived, Chesca withdraws to take her place as the first female rider in the Hunt Cup Raceg her husband tiptoes meekly after her to adjust her stirrups. Ella Gott floats in as a beautiful cloud glides across the sky. Everyone rushes to greet her, and during the ensuing conversation we learn that she is the happy wife of a wealthy shoe dealer, and she spends her time, when not singing alto solos with the Metropolitan, passing out brown and white shoes to poor children as a veritable Lady Bountiful. vVe hardly recognize Winty Wise since she has dyed her hair and wears it in dignihed braids around her head. She is happily espoused to the athletic in- E231
