GHje Cncoala Following this scene I saw two old maid school teachers, Floride Ar- wood and Carolyn Edwards. Floride was a teacher of Science and Carolyn of Latin. Next appeared a circus. One of the advertisements stated that the spe- cial attraction was the famous snake charmer, Rebecca Brunson, noted the world over for her ability to charm snakes. Can you imagine this of quiet and timid Rebecca! As the wind caused a wave over the pool I beheld the vision of Lewis Logan, our dignified Senior, director of “Zeigfield Follies” in New York. It is hard to believe that such a change could take place. On a street corner mounted on a goods box, I saw Olyn Warren sell- ing patent medicine in a small town in Georgia. Seeing is believing and Iwas forced to believe what I saw next. Grover Rowe, a preacher, swaying the world by his wonderful sermons. We did not expect to see Grover do this as he was such a bluffer in high school. I next beheld a vision of Martha Henderson, the owner of a beauty parlor. We judge from the way she used the power puff in high school days she is well up on the job by now. Next a car passed and circulars were thrown from the car. I glanced over one and to my astonishment I saw that Cecil Mount and Joe Moseley would give a free demonstration of their wonderful machine, which puts a perpetual kink in the hair, and at the same time removes freckles and warts, and polishes the finger nails. They had spent most of their time since leaving high school working on this wonderful invention. My attention is attracted by a man with a monkey and a grind organ going down the street. This I recognized to be Dawson Gunter. I beheld a vision of Norine Martin, star basketball player at Montevallo. We are glad Norine is keeping up the Martin name in the athletic world and also making a record for the C. C. H. S. As this scene faded I saw Leon Martin a judge in New York City. We knew Dixie would attain greatness and I was glad to see her a teacher of voice in Atlanta—two dollars per lesson. I hrough the clear waters I saw a great ship slowly leaving the harbor. I recognized Hughy Paschal as the Captain. There was a great multitude standing on the deck cheering, and from what they were saying I gathered that A. R. Moseley was the new Ambassador to France. As this scene faded I realized that I had seen the future of my class- mates of 23 and mine alone remained to be seen. Undecided as to whether I wanted to see my own future, I closed my eyes and on opening them I saw that mine had passed and in its place appeared “Finis.” ANNIE D, DAVIS

Class Prophecy As 1 wandered through a beautiful forest alive with the voices of Spring each little bird was carolling his song from a heart full of joy. The flowers nodded and swayed to me as 1 passed and every way I turned I found some new path which seemed to hid me come and enjoy the mysteries. But one path seemed to welcome me more than the others. There the shubbery and the flowers were more beautiful, and the flowers seemed to urge me to follow the path. Feeling that there was a wonderful adventure in store for me, I hastened down the path. In the distance I could hear the brook rippling and gurgling its song of delight. My vision was obscured by overhanging vines. Carefully moving these, I looked and beheld the most beautiful spot in the world. It was an oval-shaped place hemmed in by a shrubbery of over-hanging vines and small trees. In the center was a crystal pool surrounded by divers kinds of mosses. The clear and crystal waters were inviting to thirst, and. as I stoop- ed to drink I saw this sign : “Take a glimpse into the future.’’ Gratified with the opportunity and being particularly eager to learn the destiny of each member of the class of ’23. I plucked a flower, sat down unon a stone near the pool, and lightly touched the water with the petals. Gazing into the pool. I saw a football game in progress between Auburn and Geor- gia Tech. When the quarter was up, I saw Auburn gather around their coach. As the rippling of the water ceased, I recognized Byron Alexander, the coach. This picture faded and in its place appeared a dance hall. To mv sur- prise I saw Grace James still a “Flapper,” attending the Mid-winter Dances at Auburn. And her most admiring attendant was Frank Martin. Next appears a newspaper. The headlines read: “John W. Benton ap- pointed Post-Master General of U. S.” Bending more closely I am greatly surprised to learn that Rennie Cox had become a great suffragette and is run- ning for a seat in the Legislature of Alabama. Her campaign manager is Cincie Dunnaway. A large building appeared and I beheld a familiar figure in the midst of a crowd of children. I recognized Doris Andrews, the matron of an Or- phan’s Home. A beautiful highway came into view and I learned that Rama Ellis had become a great civil engineer and was constructing a highway from his home to Mr. Rawls. On this highway was a small, but beautiful, home with a crowd of chil- dren playing around the door. I recognized the familiar figures of Edna Martin and Earle Mixon who were married and living happilv.
