Senior Class Prophecy 22 With much labor and difficulty, I crawled out on the head of the Statue of Liberty. Turning about and facing the westering sun I beheld yes, what was it I beheld? Was I a victim of vertigo, sleepy or hypnotized? In spite of this sensation I was secure in my precarious position. For up between the sun and myself, a fine white, silvery mist arose. Its sheen was blinding and outlined on it was a figure. The figure became distinct; its features were those of a god. This wondrous figure opened its mouth and spoke in words of thunder. “Thou art now to behold thy classmates of the year ’22 of F. H. S. for thou was’t one of them, was't thou not?” My voice seemed insignificant and weak in reply as I answered, “yes.” The figure faded. The mist came closer. It seemed to be a curtain of fleecy rose-tinted material, over which the sun in its descent shown as the searchlight of eternity. A figure appeared on this luminous screen. It was that of a man, a bit stoop shouldered, long sensitive nose, with a lion-like mane of hair. Details identified themselves and it could be seen that the man was a painter. He was designing labels for Colorado grown cactus pear cans. The name he signed on the work of art was R. F. Fleeger. In another part of the same building a gentleman whose moniker was Bill Harlan, was expertly gluing those self-same labels on the cans. Across the thorofare from this edifice was an office building. A noticeable shingle that depended from a second story window, was the following: John It. Taylor, Professor and Specialist in Cootology. The office boy said that the boss was becoming efficient and had a trade, and had trained some of them to come when he whistled. The scene again shifted. This time to a state fair. A large crowd was gathered around a very curious device beside which stood a tall and voluble man. He was demonstrating an electric orchard heater and seemed to be making quite a hit. He was addressed respectfully by the attendants as Mistuh Edwards. A teeming business street. A flat-topped building. In the office sat a rawboned man dictating a letter to a clever stenographer. “That will be all Miss Betts,” said he. In an alarmingly short time the letter was typewritten and ready to be signed. The rawboned man affixed his signature, Mr. Maurice Milner, Esq., President of the Sudless Soap Co. Then I saw a jungle thru which came the eminent Herb. A. Hughes, botanist, at the head of a long safari. He was smoking a pipe as big as life and lazily brushing his teeth.
