The time is near at hand when you will take a higher type of work. Irene, you are last but not least. You are very slow and very stub- born. You are going to change from these and go from one extreme to the other. Five years from now you will be the exact opposite to slowness. I am going to warn you that you had better watch your step. You are going to become a teacher. You will be a good one, too, if you take my advice. Remember, guard against slowness and stubbornness or they will rob you of the sweetnesses of life. DURA- Williard, you are not the only one who has been observing. VVe WIL WIL have watched you and notice that you are very nervous, eccentric, quick tempered and headstrong. You would be a great success as a teacher or as a lecturer and debater should you choose these as a career. However, since 'love has lead your way' and you desire to sail the sea of matrimony your future holds for you many interesting events. Very soon you will become tied for life to some one whom you know and love and who loves you. For a while you will be very happy, but soon you will have so- many children to worry you and work on your nerves that you will become a nervous wreck. You will live to a ripe old age. Since you are going to be married in the near fu- ture, we feel that it is appropriate to give you a token of our friend- ship. We believe in giving useful gifts. Take this, for it may be used for two purposes-as a utensil and as a weapon. QPresents rolling pin., LIARD-'lDura, there is more truth in your prophecy than you believe. I have a surprise for you. You are all going to be present at my wedding. Dura and Irene are going to be my bridesmaids, Thelma, maid of honor, and Wilbur, since you are going to be a minister, you are going to perform the ceremony. It is customary for a bride to give the members of her wedding party gifts. I am giving to you all gifts which I have observed that you need. fGoes out and brings in the gifts.j Dura, do you remember when we were in school, how the temperature of the rooms always annoyed you? Take this little stove, it will help to keep you warm. Irene, you are always late to everything. Now, I w'ouldn't want you to be late at my wedding. This cart and horse will help you to get there. Thelma, I have at last been able to find a pair of shoes big enough for you. Take these and never let me hear you say again 'my feet hurt.' Wilbur, strange to say, you can always get a girl, but you ean't keep her. Take this doll, then you will always be sure of one. CNoise is heard off stage.j BUR- Scatter folks-scatter! Here comes the troop. fEnter the crow'd.j J. MIKULSKI Csurveying the place and noticing the named Dun-rovin- just the place for mef'

Now come and let's lunch. After that we can see what is to be done. fExit.j Qlinter Dura Rice and Thelma Boone.j DURA findignantlyj-L'Ain't this just like them 'get rich quick' North- erners? They come down here trying to make lots out of Florida water. Say, do you know there is going to be a bunch of guests here in a little while P THELMA-'AI call this an imposition. They want us to wait on all these people besides cleaning up after them. But we've got something to be thankful for anyhow. Look at poor VVilbur, butler, chauffeur and anything else they feel like making him. QEnter Wilbur.j VVILBUR- Dura, I just done amputated de right fender on de left side of de Boss's car. THELMA-'fLan' sake, how you done it ? WILBUR-GIWCII, you see, I put on the brakes, but they didnlt hold. DURA-A'XVhy didn't you throw out the gears ?l' VVILBUR- Lord, fool! I thought I 'd need them. THELMA- Things sure have gone wrong to-day. I'd like to know what's comin' next. Say, suppose I call Williard out to tell our fortunes. CGoes to door and calls.D Qlinter Williard followed by Irene.j WILLIARD-f'lNIercy, souls! Why you call me in that tone of voice P TIIELINIATIiWIIIIHFd, we're so tired and discouraged. Won't you tell our fortunes just to break the monotony ? VVILLIARD-uTell your fortunes? I don't profess to be a fortune teller, but I'll tell you what I have observed and what I think is going to happenfl QThose on the stage gather about VVilliard. She tells their fortune.j HDura, I have noticed that you are very versatile. As you grow older you will become very steady. After you leave High School you will enter college and, I am very glad to say, you will make good. Your ambition to become a doctor will be realized. You will have very little practice at first, but, later on you will have more practice than you can do. You will be so interested in your profession that you will not devote any of your time to the world of Romance. Thelma, you are rather moderate. You are jolly, but not too boister- ous with it. Sincerity is one of your characteristics. Your general temperament indicates that you are going to make a good teacher. You will teach a number of years before you say those fateful words, 'I will.' VVilbur, you are rather puzzling to me. You are studious, yet not quite enough. There are some ways, which I am too polite to men- tion, from which you must turn if you wish to succeed in your chosen profession. I believe that you are going to be a great Baptist minister. You will choose a companion early in life. So, VVilbur, spur your-

Do you think that this is a perfectly proper place for us to stay? It certainly can't be very popular. To be 'Frank' I'd rather go to some other place. L.

PANCOAST-HI, sir, am the proprietor, and may I ask who you are ? A. H.- VVe are a motely crew known to the world as the fFour Year Chorus,' from the home of the far-famed 'Neck-a-Lot' Theatre. P. S.- Nickelette? Surely, not the old Nickelette in Burlington. B. NORCROSS-f'What do you know about that ? P. S.-'lThat's a secret, but say, how's the back row and the middle row? Has the floor gone thru yet P B. N.- Haven't you heard that when the class of '26 left B. H. S. the back row was willed to Hen Petty, Bill Thomas, Ed Lewis and Jim- my Story? INIETA- And haven't you heard about the middle row? That was willed to Lorenzo D'Leno, George Brewer, Louis Zimmerman, Harry Katzg but I didn't like it. I think that it should have gone to Bill lVIilburn, Dynamite Dugan, Actor Clair and Bill Vandegriftf' LEoN- Speaking of willing things. Did you know that we willed all the money which Doris Lawrence owed the various students to the school to be used as a fund for aiding students in furthering their education? Miss Ditzell was willed the task of trying to collect the money. ALICE- VVe willed other things, too. VVe willed Edward Hutton the place he should occupy in school instead of the one he thinks he occu- pies, and to- Larry Hunt we willed a mirror so that he could see him- self as others see him. P.

Who would have thought that glasses could disguise the talent of the class of '26 ? L. H.- Disguise? Why look what glasses have done for me. And just look at Anna Brothertonf' A. B.- If you think that glasese are an improvement, I suggest that each member of the class invest. A. O.- Don't be sarcastic, Anna. Why, I know a Junior who thinks Doretta is good to look at. HELEN B.-'fAll this nonsense takes me back to our wonderful High School days. Say, do you remember the Freshman Party. Didn't we have a Wonderful time ?
