26 PERISCOPE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY “M.v children,” beamed the professor, “I have a surprise for you this morning. A wonderful surprise!” Eighty gleaming eyes stared at him in expectancy and forty shining noses tilted upward scenting adventure and mystery. “No doubt you have heard of the diggings which have hern carried on recently by the world famous scientist Paprika Mayonaisse, who by the way, happens to be a very dear friend of mine. Pappy has, as you know, been digging in the ruins of a prehistoric city which flourished, I believe, about the twentieth century A. I). He has been discovering rich rewards and the dear boy has sent me this. It seems to be a manuscript—now please don't crowd—and it is written on a thin substance, which tears easily nor is it good to eat. It is white, as you will notice and the characters upon it are of black. It is read from left to right and it took a great deal of bruins and scientific research to decipher it. However I have done so and with your permission I will read it to you.” Tlie professor cleared his threat, blew “Dear Dei, his nose and b’gan to read through it. “Dallas, Oregon, June IS, 1!»24. “Well, I’m sorry you couldn’t get down to the big jubilee yesterday. You were the only one of the class of '24 who wasn’t present, so if your ears burned it was because you were all we were able to discuss.

Gwendolyn Hooker sat on his right. Gwen has turned cow girl and chases about with the round ups in the state. Pendleton is her headquarters. “Freda Yashaw and Bert Curtiss are doing a little vaudeville act together which was written by Viola Wahlford and is called “Why Use Dumbells When Onions Will Make You Just As Strong;” They were too bashful to give two separate speeches so they gave one together and as they both talked at once it was impossible to tell what either said. But it didn't mutter much as Johnnie Tate was making too much noise drinking his soup through his whiskers for anything to lie heard above it. Johnnie lias a job in a circus as bearded lady but his beard is such a bother to him that I don’t think it is worth it. Jennie Itunkle has a job in the same show training elephants and her chum Ahhie Williams is a guard at the pen. “Before the dinner was half over the fire whistle blew and Marjorie Jackson, Vivian Nelson and Williard Brown hopped up from the table and dashed out the front door. Marjorie is chief of the fire department and Vivian is traffic officer and was afraid the cars might get into a jam if she wasn't there to lead them politely but firmly down the right side of tlie street; while Buster is city marshall and has to he on the front row at all state occasions. “About this time Helen Butler came trailing in late to make a sensation.
