F HWLTOP ECHOESII prophecy It was dark and foggy outside, large clouds hid the sky, everything seemed very still and quiet. There was something that kept pushing itself into my clouded brain, but what? It was something that I wanted to know, but I could not even bring that out of my depressed mind. I decided to walk through the wet woods and try to drive away the maddening feeling that en- veloped my whole being. I walked out into the 'semi-darkness, out through the still darker woods, thinking, thinking of my future, my present and my past. My past! My good old days at Daven- port! Then I knew what that persistent thought was: I wanted to know what all my classmates at Old D. Cf' were doing. I could think of no way to find out however, so I walked on farther into the dense woods. Suddenly everything turned entirely 'dark---I could see nothing. I stopped, unable to move. For several minutes everything was as still as death, not a sound, not the flutter of a leaf. Then all at once a breeze blew against me, and a small spot of light appeared just in front of me. I stood staring, a figure had stepped into the light. What could it be? I thought of 'fMacbethgl' could it be one of those dreadful witches that had caused the herols downfall? I had lost control of myself- something else had power over me. 'tFollow me, and you shall hear about your friends you have been thinking off' cried this queer looking creature. We moved forward. I could not stop. After we had walked a few yards we came to a dark cave. Bats were flying everywhere: small creepy things were crawling all around. I could see and hear- that was all. Another form came out. The first one moved behind a pot that was over a fire, and said: HTell me what you want to know before the fire goes outfl I heard myself saying to her, I want to know what each member of the Davenport preparatory department of 1927 is doing. The second witch stirred the contents of the pot, a cloud of steam arose, and out of that cloud a voice came. At first it was a murmur, then clearly it spoke: 'fAfter several years of much toil, Beuna Avery has become a prominent business woman on Wall Page T wenty-N ine Street. I Jean Cole is now living in Washington City, and is a leader in the exclusive social circles as the wife of the senator from North Carolina. Emma Dobbin is in Alaska with her sister, but she is going to fall in love soon and will then live in the Northern part of California. f'Mary Bertha Cordell has been the leader of Social Service work in New York for several years. f'Virginia Beall is now living addressed as 'Mrs. Prince of Wales,' because a year ago she married the Prince himself. The event was a shock to her friends. 'fLena Brown is a domestic science teacher at Meredith College. Dorothy Self has won a name for herself as an actress on Broadway. Mamie Teague is teaching art at Davenport College. 'fDoris Hunt has bloomed out into the most frivolous society belle of the class of 727. Margaret Weaver is the LChaminade' of Amer- ica. HThe first of the class to wear a wedding ring is Rachel Hickman. UAlice Dickinson has attracted much attention as the most graceful toe dancer in the Ziegfield Follies. The gentle spirit of Ruth Wolff has made for her many friends, among whom was an elderly lady who left her an immense fortune. Bill Washam is now an advertising agent for chewing gum. f'Louise Rabb has been drawing the covers for fThe House Beautiful,' 'House and Garden,' and many other magazines, for several years. Louise Fosters ambition was to be cashier in a drug store. At last this has been realized. Six months ago she secured the place in Marley's Drug Store. Recently, much to her joy, both she and Marley's fell into the hands of Earl Tate. The fire was growing low, but there was one other that had not been named. The queer figure standing behind the pot slowly disappeared, but the other figure said, Mary Gwyn Hickerson has be- come resigned to the fate of being an old maid. MARY GWYN HICKERSON, BEUNA AVERY.
