James Bowdoin is making a fortune in the patent collar button which lights up when it falls. Sterlyn Speigner won the world’s record in auto racing, a speed of two hundred miles an hour. The car is the latest model designed by Louie Manning. The Benton-Hutchinson Laboratory passes on an unusually large leaf. It is located in Boston. A football game is next in view and I recognize Tom Eidson is head coach at Yale. Billie Boyd—imagine our former class mate as Mrs. Lynn Conner, taking in washing for a pastime, and wasting all the chinaware on her sporting husband. Alma Baldwin is United States Senator from Alabama—her advanced views on Woman’s Rights are attracting world-wide attention. Willia Mae Richardson is a famous costume designer and owner of a select establishment for dress making and designing. Dewey Ellis, the same tall, gallant adventurous Dewey, is seeking his fortune in South America. Madame Rumor says Gussie Boyette has an interest in the outcome of this affair. Thelma Martin, Clyde Hundley, Hylton Harrel, Louie Hollis and Louie Manning are found on the editorial staff of the Birmingham News. Next I see Madie Rea Seay and Louise Bass sailing for Brazil where they go to take up their life’s work as Missionaries. Paul Morgan, America’s most famous modern poet is residing at hi.) beautiful summer home “Riverview” on the banks of the Hudson. As the leaf comes by, I see a vision of myself seated in the tent of a noted fortune teller, but I am unable by the movement of her lips to tell what she is saying. —LOUISE COLSON.

Senior Class Prophecy It was in the glowing twilight of an Indian Summer evening after the duties of another day when I strolled down to the lake and loosed the little canoe from its mooring. I seated myself comfortably and glided noiselessly with the gentle breezes for an hour or more around the lake. The aumun foliage grew in profusion and the leaves blown by the wind drift- ed past me. As each leaf came I gazed in awe and wonder for therein I beheld the future of each Senior of ’24. The great world metropolis comes into view and I see Jim Gunter operating a beauty parlor for the Jellie Beans—Altus Beckham is the cus- tomer. As the next leaf comes I see Mildred Byrd, social leader of the “400” of New York. C. B. Murdock is receiving congratulations on winning the cross coun- try aviator’s race. We fancy C. B. has changed somewhat since school days. Corinne Speigner, wife of a naval officer Lehman Griffin, is social leader in sea coast towns. Next Margaret Colley is giving her special dance in the Auderle Fol- lies. A Redpath Chautauqua Program comes in view and I see that some of the best numbers are to be given by Vyrdie Martin, Reader; Edna Alexander, Soloist; Harry McIntosh and Willie Condrey, Impersonators. Nealon Rainey, Fannie Bell Watkins, Annie L. Feagin and Lola Mae Jones are teachers in the McTyere School for Girls in Shanghai, China. Boyd Beall is now President of the Newton College. We know Boyd is satisfied because he was fond of Newton in High School. Next comes a vision of trees. Eunie Moore is standing in the midst of these. She is proud owner of the largest pecan orchard in the world. Rebecca Simmons, the famous architect of Alabama, is designing a summer home for John D. Rockefeller. Frances Goff, a famous violinist, is now playing for Edison records; she has also appeared in Grand Opera. Fred Baker is electioneering for Mack Sawyer as candidate for next President of the United States. James Little, I see, is just landing at Liverpool, where he goes as United States Ambassador to England. Lorene Ellis, Xenea Ellis, Virginia Cooke, Emma Ruth Mount are incorporated in the famous all-American Beauty Parlor, located in Boston.

Last UM and Testament STATE OF ALABAMA, COUNTY OF COFFEE, CITY OF ENTERPRISE. According to the customs of the Coffee County High School, it is both fitting and proper at this time, for the Senior Class of ’24 to dedi- cate such belongings as have been our stumbling stones to those who have faithfully followed our foot steps. Then on the other hand it would be a most gracious act for this stately crew of Seniors not to slight even the dimmest of our antagonizers, the faculty, so, we who have sought for free- dom for years and have thus far succeeded do hereby waive all previous wills, notes or promise and do authorize and declare this to be our last will and testament in the following manner: To our patient and kind-hearted faculty we leave a perfect school with model pupils, who never make any noise going up and down the creaking stairs, keep perfect order in study hall and never scatter paper on the floor. To Miss Graham we leave a chemistry class so well trained they will never make any mistakes, thereby enabling her to control her eyes. To our noted rivals, the Junior Class we leave our room with fixtures therein, along with the many privileges which we have never possessed. To our successors of next year, we will the right to receive and take to heart the many lectures delivered to us daily my Coach Warren and Miss Jacobs on the subject of dignity. To our dear sister class the Sophs, we leave the right to occupy the im- portant place of the proud, conceited Junior Class. To our baby class we will the right to shed their attire of green and take up the duties of silly Sophs. . That is if they don’t imitate Peck Ogletree. To the following students of the school we leave: Boyd Beall’s grin to any one that will have it providing they grin just exactly like him. Madie Rea Seay’s popularity and privilege to fill dates any night dur- ing the week to Annie Mae Williams. C. B. Murdock leaves his ability to play football and make all star tackle to Sam Paschel. To Rebecca Ramsey, Altus Beckham leaves his heart and permision for her to go with any boy she can vamp (that is after he leaves.) Alma Baldwin leaves her erect and natural walk to Ruby Singleton, providing she will change the present one. Louise Colson leaves her style and good looking clothes to Carrie Pierce. Frances Goff and Dewey Ellis leave their ability to sepnd the class money without letting them know a thing about it to Revel Searcy and William Sessions. Paul Hutchison leaves his admirable laugh to Linder Hendrix and hopes he will make ample use of it.
