In short, the question before you is this: Is your child going to be success- ful in life or not? If you want him to be so, he must have both grammar and high school education, and, if possible, a col- Class We, the Senior Class of 1923, being from the date of our birth to the present time, of an unsound mind, altogether mentally unbalanced, feel ourselves in a proper condition to write our last will and testament.

To Edna Bingaman we will something she could have had this year if it had not been for a Senior. To Mary Ludwig we bequeath Mr. Morrow’s History Book from last year. She seemed to study it so hard.

To Alton Bowyer we will Doty’s ability to bluff the teachers. To Frances Donaghy we will a season ticket for the Armory next year.

Class Prophecies Myrtle Potteiqer CLASS PROPHECIES As in ancient times the soothsayers observed the movements of the heavenly bodies and the curling of smoke and vapors and the rustling of leaves in order to foretell by them what the future might have in store for them, so 1, to whom has fallen the lot of foretelling the future of my classmates, have gazed for hours at the stars at night, have watched the smoke curling from the chimneys and locomotive stacks, and have even watched the gasoline fumes issuing from the exhaust of passing automobiles with the hope that in this way I might discern, as by an oracle, the fate of these, my classmates. By combining all the signs and omens, I have succeeded in aiming at the following definite and positive interpretations: KATHRYN BORN You, who are not at all interested in school work, will find life more interesting in working as a saleslady. You wjjf work for a large department store, our appearance will not change until yo f very late life. You will he happy at t us work, because many people who 1 ere good friends of yours will, throiurly your same girlish looks, recognize ye very readily. But through some disapivrfntment you will change your surround igs and will lead a new life. You wPVgo to school, where you will take vo .-al music lessons. This you will like jetter than anything you have yet tried. Through your success in singing y yu will he asked to sing at a big conee Many people will be present and yov. will win many friends, who will make your name very popular. You will be asked to come to many dances and parties which are held by the people of higher societies, and you will accept. To every one you go you will be asked to sing a selection, which you will gladly do for their amusement. The city life will ruin your health and before it is too late you will move into the country, away from the people who cared so much for you. You will find shelter at a large grocery store and will again lead a new life. As you go in you will be very much surprised to find the owner of this grocery store to be one of your school companions. He, a tall, handsome, husky fellow, with light hair and blue eyes, will also be very much surprised to find you come to him at last. A few months later there will be a great gossip in that vicinity about your marriage to the grocery man. You will now become healthier and happier than you were in the city and will act as saleslady of Benson’s Grocery Store. MARGARET BUSH There is a bright future ahead of you. You will go to school and later will become a fancy dressmaker. You will have your dressmaking establishment on one of the most important streets in Philadelphia. There will be a sign in your window advertising your trade. This will attract much attention, and many passersby will stop in to give you more work- On their entrance they will find a neatly furnished room, which presented an inviting appearance. You will also have some samples of your work at different places in this room, at which they will gaze with wonder. You will be very busy with customers in an adjoining room and will not be able to be with them at once. Soon they will hear you coming, which will be no hard task, since, as usual, you will not have rubber heels on your No. 8 shoes. You will then take the orders, and, when all are gone except one, a messenger boy, you will receive a note from him. You will read the note with amazement, because you are an old maid, and this note will be from a boy friend who was in the same graduating class as you were. You will be asked to go with him, and, as this will be an opportunity so long wished for, you will go. This will be one great disappointment in your life, because at the appointed time the expected one will not come. But do not let this discourage you, because that same evening, as you will be thinking of your foolishness, you will bear one long-expected, well-known step on your porch. You will open the door and will find there a tall, dark, handsome bachelor, who was your best friend in your junior year in High School. A few weeks later there will be announced the engagement of yourself Page Twenty-six
