fr' 7- 'gxznea-mf,-1'1guv-,F,,-W .M -,sf 'wwiflm F The Class Prophecy DON POSTON, FIFTH HONOR STUDENT fAs interpreted by the crystal reading of L'Donar j Good evening my friends. Tonight you have recalled bygone days. It is with mingled joy and regret that you realize that the happy school'days of yesterday are but picturesque memories of the past. But now we shall go further. With the aid of my magic crystal, presented to me many years ago in Burma, we shall look into the future of the class of 1934. You must concentrate, one and all, on the subject. Gaze into the shadows of the un' known, wherein lie the destinies of the uni' verse: dreams, success, pathos and hope. To' night we shall attempt to discover and ever partially see what the future has in store. You are all in a trance. We are surrounded by darkness, time flies before us. 1934 draws near, twenty years after. Silence! The clouds in the crystal are clearing with a faint glimmering light. There is a dim whir of motors, look into the magic glass. A figure is drawing toward us. Ha! the face becomes visible. It is Floyd Crothers, the aviator who has just landed his gigantic plane at Port Haydenville. A dauntf less knight of the air, Crothers has recently dwarfed the feats of Byrd, Balbo and Lind' bergh in his spectacular nonfstop flight from Alaska to Little America accompanied by his flying companion Paul Gastin. Swiftly we travel to Cincinnati. We rec' ognize the office of Mildred Blake and Chlorf ine Terrel, which is situated on a prominent square of the city. Miss Blake and Miss Ter' rell are the sole owners of the Influential Inf surance Company and two of the most sucf cessful business women in this section of the country. Among their employees are head Page Twenty-six stenographers: June Steele and Dorothy Kitchen and Ursla Seckman, chief saleslady. We are now passed by a serious looking lawyer rushing on his way to a trial. It is Willard Helber, a graduate of Columbia Law School who has won every case so far under' taken and is following in the footsteps of the great Clarence Darrow. Nearing a University we glance at a bullef tin, dropped by a student, which reads: Rob' ert White, President, Leona Byers, Dean of Women, while others are Paul Matheny, Dean of the College of Medicine and Mary Coakley holding the same position in Music and Arts. But here comes a tall, handsome football coach across the campus-Lloyd Arnett, the authority on college football and nearly as noted as Knute Rockne. Arnett formerly played on the gridiron with the professional team of Ronald McMillin along side John Eberst and Calvin Carnes until the latter group began their world competitive tour from which they have not yet returned. We pass by the Diana Beauty Salon, the proprietress enters. One look is sufficient, it is Lola Belle Hockman. Miss Hockman, asf sisted by Bessie Campbell and Madge Backus, operates the most modern beauty shop in the state. Aside from actual hairdressing equip' ment, her most miraculous convenience is the superfelectric face lifter devised by the master mind of Claud Sheets and guaranteed to make everybody beautiful. But what have we here? A ball diamond! Batter up! Play ball! A hit! It's a whom' er and here he is, Ray McMullen, the sec' ond Babe Ruth, safe on the home plate! It is another victory for McMullen's Wild Cats which include James Karshner, Raymond Miller and Arthur Walters, manager.

. ,,-,,,.,, .. The scene changes: We see two bronzed muscular gentlemen in exploring regalia. They are Leslie Duffy and Robert Evans, globetrotting comrades and renowned hunt' ers. They are experienced with all weapons, from the bow and arrow to the elephant rifle. Cn their big game tours, they have penetrated all parts of the world, from darkest Africa to the Arctics. At the present time, they are fitting out an expedition to Brazil to battle the perils of the dreaded Amazon jungle in a desperate effort to rescue John McBride, a missionary, who is reported to have been cap' tured by cannnibalistic savages there. We are in Florida and see two energetic farmerettes among the orange trees. They are Margaret Lenz and Julia Krebs who not only manage a profitable citrus fruit farm but also boast of being the horticulturalists who de' veloped the nonfskid banana peel. We enter the establishment of the great newspaper, The National Tribune, and here is the editor himself, Paul Heyde, scan' ning the evening edition. Heyde has finally topped his career by attaining one of the most influential positions in the nation, both social' ly and politically. His large staff includes Floyd Hiles cartoonist and Marguerite Rohr' er and Christina Poling star reporters. We see Ringling Brothers Circus now un' der the direction of Earl Shaw. We are met by two of the principal artists as they exit from the main show tent. They are Venice and Eunice Harbarger, the queens of the trapeze. Their aerial act brings to memory the famed Lillian Leitzel of the past. They close each breathftaking performance with a death defying leap from the top of the tent to a small net below, great stars of the spangles and sawdust. We look again into the crystal. We are in a great hospital. Charlisse Phillips, the lab' oratory technician, is on her way to the op' erating room, where Barbara Till, the famous surgeon is about to perform an extremely difficult operation. In a moment We shall see the patient, Donald Smith, escorted to his destination by the trained nurses Evelyn and Irene Campbell. Smith a daring motorist, has just been painfully injured while driving a rocket spedster two hundred and ninety miles an hour. This demon racer and aid to suicide is being manufactured through the untiring efforts of Verle Dollison and Rob' ert Sparnon with Harold Thrush as their ad' vertising and publicity agents. But hush, here comes the patient. We are now confronted by a tall militarisf tic figure, Colonel Jack Dougherty of the En' gineer Corps of the United States army. Colonel Dougherty, a graduate of West Point and a fine example of the ideal American soldier, is one of the greatest engineers in the service. At present, he is supervising the laying of a railroad on pontoons from Key West, Florida to the island of Cuba. It is by far the most extensive project ever under' taken since the building of the Panama Canal, but I see nothing but success for him. PHILADELPHIA Amid spinning wheels, coverlets and old silverware, we find Verna Dane operating a quaint antique shop and collecting period furniture to use as settings for the Maxine Marks Theater Guild. Also in this city we see Melvin Rogers and Therman Sweazy as endmen in Dick John' son's musical comedy which is preparing to tour the country. GERMANY The Olympic Games are over and the United States has won again. Among the dozens of victorious participants we see Zerna Lackey, a successful pupil of Helen Wills Moody and one of our most important lady athletes of the day. Then there is Joe Krannitz, the undefeated ring champion of the world. Krannitz, hav' ing just mutilated his opponent, Kid Chocof late from Abyssinia in the first round of that match, is seen being congratulated by the spectators. CHICAGO We are now at the great Marshall Fields Department Store. We pass by imported jewelry, linens, Oriental carpets, et cetera, all Page Twentyfseven
