L. H. 5. THE mivnivt 1S2S Senior ;J3rnphccy During the month of Way 1925, the La Grande High School faculty became Inoculated with a craze that was hard to Fathom. At the close of school cadi day, the members would rush to some unknown place, where, with gasps and leap- ing pulses, they would listen to the entrancing voice of Sheik Omar ibn-Al Khat- tah, as he revealed to them the romantic lovers and champions that they were to meet in the days to be. In response to an overpowering curiosity, I steeled myself with all the forti tude that I possessed and paid fi visit to this Semitic Seer. As I was ushered into his sanctum sanctorum, a shiver of premonition crept up my spine. The sonor- ous tones of the Sheik’s voice jarred me free from the trance state into which I had lapsed. “Why didst thou come?” thundered the Sheik. Every vestige of courage fled from me at the sound of his voice. I scarcely recognized the quivering voice that answered, “I have come, kind sir, to learn the future of myself and of my comrades who this year do graduate from the La Grande High School. “Sit thee down on yonder hassock, and tell me whether thou wilt know tIvy wishes from the purple sands or from the Chadize vapors of the Glvel-al-tarik.” “The purple sand,” I answered. “I see—I see—a great tent with many people. In one ring is a beautiful woman with long golden tresses, glitteringly attired in a gown of green sequins. Affectionately twined around her neck are two green snakes. The name of this fascinator of thousands is Thelma Brown. “There Ls a terrible roar from the end of the tent and I see six tigers come leaping forth to devour whoever stood in their path—but not so—the trainer stood forth and they sat up at her command and received the sugar from her hands. The trainer is Lucile Black. “I see in the crowd two faces which are familiar to you. A man and a woman are continuously chewing peanuts. I know them to be Clayton Coalwell and Louise French. They are on their honeymoon. Clayton has been married twice before—to Lucile Mi liering and Zelma Taylor. Both, however, have obtained di- vorces and are now in vaudeville in a show entitled “So this is Divorce.” “I see Sam Cochran as the peanut man and near his stand I see Lucile Gardiner and Velma McCall running a hot-dog joint. “My attention is attracted by four snow-white horses, running abreast about the circus ring. Standing gracefully on the middle two is Othella Gray with that care-free expression illuminating her countenance. “But how can I dwell longer on Othella, when like a whirling snowflake there flies from ring to ring a maiden, agile and fragile. This girl I know to be Margaret Creasey. But now she falls down—down to her doom—no, out of the path of death she is snatched by the Herculean arm of Bernard Hummelt. Unconsciously there bursts from my lips the exclamation, “But why did Ber- nard join the circus?’’ “For this reason,” answered the Shiek, “that his heart was broken when PhyMis Scranton married one bf the foremost exponents of the modern school of poetry, Herbert Miller.” With another stir of 'the sparkling sand the Sheik continues. “I see a once happy home now deserted by master and mistress. The mistress once Miss Elizabeth Payton, now Mrs. Fred Baumann, is leading a powerful women’s party organized in the interest of exterminating the germ-laden beast, the pestiferous Page Twenty-five
