(Clmifl iJIrapljrry SAMUEL SHARP •Jp-T order to foretell the future of class ’13, neither the gloomy cavern of the Sibyl nor any mysterious oracle has been consulted. Sitting by the lireside one evening, I fell asleep and in a dream the future of each member of the class was revealed. I will retell them as they appeared to me. The drug store of Johnson Son will have a new partner, when Lloyd has finished a course in pharmacy at college. This life will not appeal to him very long and he will then take up forestry. Behind the counter of a large business house in South Bend will be seen the bright and smiling face of Lola Feldman. On beautiful farms in the country, Ivon and Clarence will dwell. in summer they will spend the time farming and in w inter will teach the home schools. Frieda Price, after taking up a course at Ashland College, is destined to be the leader of many social functions Having secured all the malhematicil training he can find, Orville will some day he professor of that subject in some university. In a few years, in reading an account of a World Series game between the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox, the name of Robert Wy-song will be given special mention. Wilma will go to college for a time but after seeing the ways of the world she decides to promote the cause of the helpless. If you should at any time go to Mexico, you will hear of a noted orphan asylum. Of this she will be manager. Newton, after taking a correspondence course in engineering, will go to North Dakota and run a J. I. Case threshing engine. A large homestead in the west will in a short time be the home of Melvin. Here he will have plenty of space to test his knowledge of agriculture. Lucile will take a course in stenography at the South Bend Business College and then be employed as oltice girl in her father’s business. Milo will try teaching, but finding the task of correcting pupils hard on his robust frame, will settle down with his city bride to the more quiet life of farming. If one should step into Yoders’ Garage twenty years hence he would see crawling from under an automobile a man, daubed witli dirt and grease. The man will be easily recognized as Lester who is still trying to win fame in the field of mechanics. Every one of class ’13 will know where to find a place to stay overnight when in Indianapolis, for Clara, having captured the heart of a youth in that city w ill dwell there. To literature will be added the famous works of a new author -Herbert. Bertha for some time will desire to obtain a greater education but struck by Cupid's arrow she will change her mind and become involved in the harmony and discord of married life. Murray will end his romantic career by marriage. As a wedding gift his father will present him with a large “pea green” dredge, with which he will attempt to drain the Everglades of Florida. One of our fellow students disappears—gone as though never to return. Years afterwards a famous cartoonist appears at the opera house at Nappanee holding his audience spell-bound. To tiie crowd’s delight he becomes known as a member of class ’13—Henry Maust. Estella’s rapid musical development will soon enable her to make a concert tour of the leading European countries.

(Elaaa fluent HERBERT ALEXANDER Composed Is our class of twenty lads And lassies great and small, Each eager for the time to come To hear the great world’s call. For at last our studies are ended, And from the old school we must part; Each working, striving, and battling, To wrin his fame in some art. From Freshies to Sophs, and to .1 uniors We’ve advanced up the path side by side; Eacli solving the schoolroom problems With a steady and unbroken stride. And now when at last we as Seniors, Have finished our course in the school, We see that in all our great learning, We’ve acquired a most precious jewel. Each scholar with the firm endeavor To do his full share in the light, Has won all the honor and glory That follows the doing of right. So have passed our twelve years of school life, Though it seems no more than a day. May they ever brighten our memory As the passing years roll away. But still all our work is not ended. Though our school days have passed and gone, For the days of life are before us And we are still but in the dawn. The world should gladly receive us For through the years of the N. II. S. Not a class has ever surpassed us, In winning so marked a success.

With beating hearts and fearful glances at the faculty they entered their class-rooms and by their good behavior and obedience have always been the teachers’ favorites. By the second semester the greenness had partly worn off and the regular routine of high school life began. We soon see them full fledged Sophomores although greatly decreased in numbers, looking with disdain upon the Freshmen and Juniors, but looking up with adoration to their comrade class, the Seniors. Class organization was now thought proper. Noble Hollar was elected president, Jessie Dunn secretary, and Forest Nickler, treasurer. Class parties and sleigh-rides were very popular this year. The second semester was tilled with the struggle with ver-
