Charles' Vincentfannounces a new contract with Oscar Carlin, the eminent athletef as coach fof ,athletics in the university. Coach Carlin has been sought by oth Yale and Princeton. Harvard is fortunate in securing him. It means sure ictory for them inf' the coming season. There re other first page 'items which arouse our interest. VVe recognize some familiar names. One,is an article taken from the great Metropolitan Enterprise. Mme LaVe,rne Bailey makes her American debut this evening at the Colesium where she appears in a soprano role in Faust. Miss Bailey achieved unheralded renown in her recent European tour and is now credited with being one of the best sopranos of the European and American stages. So, poor StickVdidn't get her after all, did he? VVell, well, look! Here is another article from a South African paper which gives the following account, Miss Veda Robinette, a prominent suffragette from the United States, was arrested yesterday on a charge of promoting mob violence. The arrest came after a mob, that had been listening to her talk, started on a reign of terror and bloodshed. Miss Robinette has been active in the suffrage movement thruout the world . On the Social page we find several announcements which include this one, Miss Margaret Rotselle has been chosen the most popular among the Paris debutantes of the season of 1940. She is at present touring in the Balkans and will complete her eventful travels by a monthfs sail on the AEgean and Mediter- ranian as one of a party in which the Prince of VVales is the central figure. Paris is impatient for her return . But let us lay aside the paper and take a little jaunt around Bryan. Here we see a large display room filled with cars and as we look closer we Find it is the establishment of none other than Simon Makemson, who is district dealer of his favorite car, the Buick. He invited us inside to look over his establish- ment and as lie takes us into his service department we find two grease covered mechanics whom we at once recognize as Paul Barnes and Kenneth Hill. ls this all of the excitement about around town? No! We are informed that Dorothy Hall has just returned from Columbus where her B. H. S. Girls Basket Ball Team has won the state championship. XVe received this informa' tion from Geneva Arnold. who is reporter for the Bryan Democrat which is now edited by William Miller. The local high school just announced the lecture course for the coming season, so Prin. Corwin told us, it consists of members that are considered far above the average. Miss Deah Snyder who will present several dialect numbers, Miss Edith Kyser, Dean of Bryn Maur, will talk on Education for Women Votersu. The Third number is The Peerless Quartetten consisting of VVayne Cook, Landon lVilson, Millard XValker, and Kenneth Gardner. The last num- ber will be a rare treat for Bryan folks for Robert XVinzeler's world famous Jazz-Band in whose midst we find two of our old friends, Bernard Connin and Harry Hester. A Sauntering over to the library which stands only second to the school, we find the local librarians to be Helen Oliver and Naomi Glenn who report an increase in the use of the library by the school children. Glancing about the shelves, the works of Cleoh Clay and Edith Ramsey on Social XVelfare demand our attention. Miss Oliver informs us that according to the latest dispatches from Mediterranean Fur. Marconi with his collaborate M. Laurance Cook has completed an invention that will revolutionize the entire electrical world. M. Cook is one of the few great electrical wizards of the world. Vtfe leave the library and continue our journey around the f'Square . A place whose exterior walls seem dull and gray stand across the street and as 'PPV -. pi- I-,. f., , 4 l- - ...LSA

I I I I Class Prophecy jules Verne, master of imaginative narration, may be credited with having contributed to our civilization one great accomplishment, namely the inspiration furnished us in his volume 'IFrom the Earth to the Moon . Verne describes an imaginary trip of several earthly inhabitants via a projectile to our neighboring body, the Moon. lt was this inspiration that caused several of our most noted scientists to plan and calculate the possibility of sending such a projectile to our neighbor planet, Mars, and after having been convinced on the possibility of the proposition set up a gigantic morter and in 1924, the date of our close con- tact with Mars, fired into space a modern Verne projectile containing two mem- bers of the scientific Research Company. Unlike the previous projectile this one contained many modern conveniences and best of all it provided by means of an arrangement of gas a method of returning to earth. Strange to say the scientists reached their destination and carried on com- munication with the Maritians, who were found to possess a much higher degree of civilization than ours. One contrasting feature was very interesting to us, namely, that power of looking into the future and telling what is to be our destiny. It is true that on our planet we have those who claim this power but in most cases the seer is merely a fraud preying upon the credulity of the individual. However, it is not so with the Martians as it has been tried and proved many times that their prophecies are fulfilled with most, exacting regularity. Here our scientists dwelt for some days until at last concluding their investi- gations, they decided to return to their native planet taking with them Prince Shanman one of the most intelligent inhabitants of Mars. Upon returning to earth the investigations were kept secret, but by mere accident we became an acquaintance of Prince Shanman and his strange history, and one dreary winter evening it occured to us that it would be interesting to know the future of the class of i25. Then with the aid of our royal visitor, Prince Shanman, we could see our classmates as they appear in 1940. How dark it grows. VVe hear muffled sounds, laughter, singing, speeches, and talking which seems a long ways distant. Now we see a light, and again everything is clear to us. Familiar scenes surround us bringing back our many happy reminiscences of the good times we had in dear old Bryan High. The old school of yesterday is no more. ln its place is a new and modern structure that is filled with thousands of pupils who now attend Bryan High, pupils who have taken the place where we, the class of '25, reigned supreme for four years. This wonderful institution is very capable, governed by Principal Clinton Corwin who, if you will remember, was one of B. H. S's. shining lights in scholarship always getting the highest grades and proving Mr. Baker's pet theory that the individual getting the highest grades in high school and college achieves highest success in life. . I The children of this High School are indeed fortunate in having the ser- vices of one so capable in his line of work, namely, Professor Deane Boucher, who supervises the study of music. Dean was, even in his high school career, a great lover of music, in fact, he was singing most of the time Cwhen Prof. Huyck was out of the roomj. Another member of B. H. S. faculty is Miss Edna VVoodward who adminis- ters Latin to those who wish to acquire the foreign tongue. Oh! here is something of interest in our friend The Bryan Press , now published daily by D. Earle Kimble who is making such a success that soon his name will be linked with that of Horace Greeley. The thing of great interest 'I' 1 I I I I I I I I I I 1 I 1 I iI I I '1 I I.

-v-:ff ee-J--1ee-.i-.1-ease- P J: gf f- --J ZETA-CORDIA we cross, we notice that dark heavy tapestries adorn the windows and a sign over the door reads as follows: VVALTER STAUFFER Furlaeral Director All the latest Conveniences This shows the fate of another of K25 's merry-makers. Next door to this is the office of Charles Henry, Vice--President of the Standard Gil Co. and we find that he and his wife, formerly Miss Undine Meech, still reside in dear old Bryan. VVhat's this large poster? VVe read the following Rev, Richard Rector is now touring the west as an Evangelist and expects to be in Bryan the 12th of May . And near this was the following announcement. I will appreciate all support given me by my Bryan friends during my campaign as candidate for governor of the State of Ohiov. Signed Fritz Parker. XV ell, we always knew Fritz would come to some good end. It is of interest to note that Ardis Schaff has founded a refuge for stray dogs and cats. She and her institution have become so renowned that scarcely a day passes without visitors from many states. Margaret Sprow has become a dressmaker and thinking she could do better farther west, has gone to Chicago, where she makes many elegant and artistic gowns which, it is said, that even Couteau regards with envy. Mildred Pinkerton received her diploma from the, Mass. General Hospital as a professional nurse and now brings happiness to those whom she serves. Oh, wouldn't it be great to be sick? VVhile still in High School Sam Kintner decided to go to Harvard. He received a degree in study of law and now is Bryan's Representative. His big work is putting before the President the need of easy-chairs on the street cars. Passing down the street we see the old sign Blue Bird Beauty Shop, Three flights up, open from 9:00 to II :3o A. M. and 2 :oo to 5 130 P. M. Proprietors, Lucille Castor and Lillian julliard. Having walked so long we decided to get a soda and stop at the Drug Store on the Corner . Here we End Roswell Russell at his old job as a soda-jerkern. i Thus having refreshed ourselves, we walked over to the Court House It seems as tho a crowd is entering. VVe follow and soon find ourselves in the court-room. To our dismay, Janice Baird appeared before the Court and is defended by Prosecuting Attorney, Robert Lowe. But who is that sitting there taking notes which look like we d0n't know what but which is com- monly called shorthand. Surely not, but yes it is Lois Hudkins. Later she told us that VVillard had eloped with Lulu Drout and that they were now living happily in a little suburban home in New York. So thatis the trouble! It being so warm in the court-room, we took a walk down to the park to see if things were still the same, but first we thought of buying a couple maga- zines so that if we grew tired of talking we could read a while. VV e went to the News stand and there we saw our old friend Bowsy,' Dimler as sole owner of the establishment. After having thus given us these many pictures of future times Prince Shan- man seems very happy. The soft firelight plays around him, his eyes seem brighter, but not a word is uttered. Silence reigns supreme. Quietly and slowly he takes his departure and we are left alone with our thoughts before the fire. The only thing to remind us of the cold, bitter world outside is the soft swish of the snow as it strikes against the window pane. Margaret Rotselle William Miller ,25.
