So I decided to rest my mind by listening to the broadcasting stations that interest people most every night. I seated myself for two hours listening at the music coming in from the grand operas of various cities. All of a sudden I heard the chimes of the clock as the pendulum swung back and forth making time eleven o'clock. Shutting off the noisy machine, I sank back in my chair in despair. Being overcome by sleep there appeared before my unbelieving eyes a spirit. p Be not afraid, it muttered. I have seen your trouble and have come to help you. Who are you? I am the one who originated the having of a class prophet of a graduation class. I gave him an unusual look. And may I ask you what put that idea into your head? I have been thinking of it myself. But he went on hurriedly. I have been punished for it, I am up and down, never resting until the class prophet shall be a thing of the past. Very Well, I saidg Why not help me? Because for every one I help, my punishment is alleviated a great deal. So you can tell me what my classmates will be doing in 1937. Yes, take your list and where you need me I am at your service. Carson R. Jones upon graduating received many offers of positions, because of his art merits. He became president of Bush-Krebs Company, Louisville, Ky. He was surprised to have Cecil Hartley as one of his business managers. Lucille Wayne has succeeded in life. She now holds position as head nurse at Johns Hopkin's Hospital, Baltimore, Md. Rita Morse became Home Economics teacher in College of Rock Hill, S. C. Ruth Stroud is running competition with Lula Ipock in a series of beauty parlors on Broadway, N. Y. Esther Zabawa has lived in friendly relation with her neighbors. She invariably catches the point of every joke and seems to enjoy chuckling over it. Theodore Lewis, by being so quiet, has received a position as matron in a deaf and dumb school. Margaret Nelson has become one of the world's greatest dancers of Miami, Florida. Lula Mae Lancaster is now teaching French at N. C. C. W. Jay Van Lancaster is head of the English Department at Guilford College and is suc- cessful in work. Tu'enf11-fnzzr
