Class "A" Prophecy Nli Sunday afternoon I was lying idly under the lrecs near the tennis In courts, hoping against hope that some fair, unoccupied co-ed would if stroll by. Gradually I grew drowsy and bclore I knew it I was sound asleep, and out ot' my dreams the Nl. N. I. ol' 1925 arose. 'I'o thc west ol' it was the magnificent tlhet' School. liverything was changed, houses were everywhere. I looked about t'or Caesar, but no Caesar was to be seen. I was walking past the fountain, when, near it I saw a solitary grave. I came nearer and i'cad upon thc gravestone: ullcrc lies Caesar. Drowned .luly lil. 1923. Itequiescat in pace." Ilrying my tears, I entered thc old Nl. N. I. building. The lirsl strange thing I noticed was a small room. which had besn constructed next to the room labeled "President's 0l1'ice." I entered this small room and found. neatly pigeon-holed, records up to present date, ot' the students who had attended NI. N. I. I immediately sought out the records ol' the Class students ot' the summer term, 1915, and began examining them. 'l'he lirst one I drew out was that ol' .lolm Linn. I lound that .lolm and his devoted wit'e, Iisthcr, who had gone as missionaries to the Solomon Islands, had been devoured hy the cannibals. Next I discovered that Ricliard Taylor had re- signed his position as assistant grammar instructor ot' the NI. N. I.. and to- morrow was to take a position in Indiana llniversity. 'l'he vacated position was to be lilled by Harry Ilarvcy. with licss Lyons as Secretary and con- tidenlial adviser. Iltley had become cooking instructor, but was at present in danger ot' losing his position. because his former teacher, Miss Hall, had been made viidently ill by eating a doughnut he had cooked. Lcota Coleman and Mary Iienny had become invetcratc ice cream licnds. Herman Sampson had been married. but was having trouble with his mother- in-law. Althea Swihart, Carl Shirk, Glenda llakins and Lillian Lake are teaching kindergartens in the rural districts ol' New Zealand. They are applying to the young aborigincs the principles learned in their observation work. Rutledge was now principal ol' the Training School. He is the proud possessor ol' a lull-grown Yan Dyke. I was just reaching for the record bearing my own name, when I lelt something walking upon me. and awoke to lind Caesar standing upon me. devouring my new straw hat. King Norsworthy, Prophet. v u tl?
