While resting in this repose, it suddenly occurred to me to wonder what on earth I'd wish for if I could have only one wish granted on earth. I became lost in my day-dreams when suddenly, a delightfully small little woman said, Evelyn, I have just read your thoughts, and as I have one more 'good deed' to perform today, I shall be very glad to grant your wish. I received a shock when this apparition appeared, for I had only a second before been utterly alone. But the ecstasy of joy that I experi- enced over knowing that any wish I might make would be granted, made me forget my fright, and regain my composure. That was certainly a thought for one poor brain-out of all the things that I was selfish enough to want, I could get only one. What a War was raging in my brain! Suddenly, the word Future sprang up! Yes! what about my future-what about the Future of the Senior Class. That wish immediately became an obsession. I wanted to visualize the present Senior Class in their personal, and professional spheres ten years hence. My lovely little lady then set up an instrument very similar to the old- fashioned telescope, but ever so much larger, in fact, almost life size. She told me to look steadily into the camera-effect, and that any person that I desired to see would pass in view, and that I could even speak to him, provided I would promise not to talk longer than five minutes to each one. That was a hard promise to make, because I do love to talk. Just imagine my being limited to time, when I hadn't seen my classmates in such a long time. Nevertheless, I was anxious to begin, I wanted to say Hello to every member of the class of 1930. First, I see New Bern's large water-works plant-a large dam has been built-large machine shops are below the dam. All of these great works are under one master mind. Who else should this be but Roderick Abbott. He tells me that, although he is boss of these great works, he has one who bosses him. This is Laura Daugherty. I now see one of the largest hospitals of New Bern. Would you believe me if I told you that I see Andrew Chesson? He seems to be performing a great operation. There are also some very pretty nurses in this modern hospital. Let me see-I believe I recognize one or two of them-of course I do-they are Edith Cuthrell and Sally McClees. I inquire as to the

We next view the west coast to Wilmington. There in a large opera house I see the Suskin family. Our dear old Nathan seems to be quite a hit. In his school days, I bet he thought that he would never be able to sing. Would you believe it-Dwight Norstran has captured his Greenville girl's heart and is now living in the west side of Kansas with a big future ahead. Lillian Quinn has become noted for her progressive ideas in the man- agement of kindergarten and is very much loved for her Work among the children. Next passes into view a large newspaper office which edits the paper with the largest circulation in the world. The editor! Yes! That's Mar- riner Hardison. He is one of the greatest known editors of today. Suddenly, I notice Effie Rhodes going in. She tells me that she is a newspaper reporter. They always gave her that type of work in high school. I thought that she would soon tire of it, but it seems that she likes running around the ofiice for certain types The scene shifts seventeen miles from the center, to the edge of New Bern, where we find a sign reading, Barber Dairy. Imagine my amaze- ment when I saw Jack Barber busily engaged in the cow stall. I now see advertised the celebrated dancer, Charles McDaniel, who is to appear behind the footlights of ole Broad, which is the main theatre district of New Bern. He now has a chance for all of 'em-blondes, bru- nettes, red heads, etc. Not far from a little town in China there stands a large silk-worm farm. I see the owner. He is no other than Louis Nassef, the boy who was so charmed with foreign industries in high school. A large building has just been completed. It is a very fine piece of work. I see an ofiice. There written on the door in gold letters, Warren Tyndall, Contractor. Next I see Elsie Riegel, Mary Bell, and Doris Peek, who say that in two weeks they will appear in Jessie lVIann's new play, When the Earth Rolls Round. Would you ever believe that Irma Williams is a hostess at a night club? I understand that she went to Paris and took dancing lessons under Pro- fessor Kingland Isabella, who is no other than Isabelle King, who was in my class at school. Lina Brooks has become famous for her words which surpass Emerson and Bacon. I look into the capital and who should I see but Nat Dixon. It seems that the President is a great cousin of his and I bet Nat is keenly inter- ested in succeeding his dear cousin.
