HOMER CLINTON TOOTHMAN F 'W GO much cannot he said in praise o the man who ?,,,,M VJ . . . If has laeen chosen as Sponsor of the Class of 1916. Sled Coming to Fairview, as he did, and building up a first-class high-school certainly indicates that this man possesses unusual talents, not only as a teacher, laut as an individual as well. Through his own worth he has grown until, at present, he is the efficient County Superintend- ent of Marion County. And this is not all. He promises to advance still further, and we prophecy that in the near future he will stand jqrst among the Stateis foremost edu- cators. Certainly the1q16 Class of the Fairview High School can well feel proud and honored for haying named their class after this illustrious young man.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY aj'j'w5 NE afternoon thii spring, I was sitting in the ,ibfary of sf Fairview High whe.e I had It is come to read a re defence wh.ch Mr. Shurtleff had assigned to me. As I sit by .he .ibra .y t,b e, ob- lgvlous of time and place, a dream came to me, showin g the destiny oi my classmates. As I dreamed, I found myself in Philadel,gh-a, seated in a lar-e hall vlhch was Llled to its uimest capaci- ty. A lecture was in progressg ard, of co -.r-e, my attenton was drawn to the spe ker .n vahgm 1 recogmized my old f r i e n d, See ls llLcBee H no uv known as Lyle. He was delivering a stormy address against the co-cduca- tioggal system of our colfeges. Coming out from this hall, I notic- ed a crowd of German oflicers, con- spicious among whom was a smartly dressed man who wore many badges and insignia of honor. Despite his foreign companions, there was a familar air about him, and, like a Hash, it dawned upon me thzt this was Count von Tcothman, fozmerly our Plennie, who, during the W r, had rendered such valuable services to the Ge mans by collecting copper for them that they had honored him with a title and a posltion of great responsibility. As I passed down the street, I be- came conscious of much confusion about me. I looked up and saw a large parade coming down ihe stre tt. It was a suifragette delegation and the leader was Mary Cox, the Mrs, Panlrhurst of Aniercaf' As she drew close: I saw that she was wearing on her coat a conspicicus button- V-O-T-E-S-F-O-R-W-O-M-E-N. As I passed on I saw standing be- fore a door a familiar Hgure talking in a persuaslve manner to a woman, and I, oJe..hearing a few remarks, heard Ocal King say, 'tYes, King Reynold Compound is good for man and beast. 'Ihis is just what we thought Ocal wo-.ld be, a chemist of renown. He is now seHing a wonder- ful clemical compound which he pre- pared in Mr. Reynold's laboratory. Who is that gray-haired Woman with the dark eyes in f1o.'.t of the Hull House in Chicago? Why, it's Naomi Morris talking wilh Jane Ad- dams, and now I know why we have not heard from Naomi for so long. She is doing a great work silently- settlement work. Hee the dream grew hazy, then suddenly cleared and I rellized that it was daybreak and th gt I was look- ing down a long dreafy, country roid. Coming out of an old, tumbled-down house appeared the beat figure of a man who slowly climbed into his buggy, pi :kei up the reiis in a desul- tory manner and started slowly up the road. As he drew nearer, I re- cognized our old frfefd, Frank Hogue rot by his hair, for it is gray and his face is lined with care, but by his eyes. Could this be our old fun-lov- ing friend of Fairview High who rever took life seriously? Yes, it w's he and he is a country doctor.
