Another flash of lightning came an again pp But in fhat brief second I had glimpsed a tiny path leading through the underbrush d I knew by at m f right. Without a second thought I turned in that direction an I fs- . the feel of the ground beneath my feet that I was on the path. I follpxwed If fkor ' ' l I U t 9 some distance, wondering where it would finally end, when peering t roug h Wh rition was this? What kind of fire darkness, I saw a flickering lig t. at appa .- could live in such a rain? Although courage had long since- deserted me, curiosity and thought of personal comfort had not, so I decided to investigate, The powers above must have been with me that night, for just then another flash of lightning zigzagged across the sky and disclosed a small cave in the hillside before me. With' in burned the fireg which I had seen. With a glad cry I sprang toward the fire. Here was warmth and shelter. The firelight cast flickering shadows through the cave. While I stood gazing about me, a bent figure emerged from the shadows in the far corner of the cave. My first impulse was to turn and run, but the wind and rain were not inviting as was the warmth of the caveg and so with a mighty effort, I managed to starnmer, NI hope you don't mind my coming in out of the storm. I'm frightfully wet and cold. No, child, you're welcome to my shelter such as it is. It's a terrible storm we're having tofnightf' With these words the figure came nearer and poked the fire with her stick. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my benefactoress was an old witch-indeed she looked as though she might have stepped from a story book. The fire, stirred into activity by her proddings, leaped into the air and by its eerie and weird light I was able to distinguish more clearly the interior of the cave. Near the fire hung a huge caldron over which the hag was now bending. Around her and over the floor several, slippery, slimy snakes were wriggling. With a shudder of disgust, I turned my gaze to another corner of the cave. Here a strange sight met my eyes. On a little table rudely constructed of twigs and branches, rested a huge crystal ball. The witch, all unknown to me, must have been watching me all this time for she suddenly spoke. Yes, I am skilled in the magic art of fortune telling, and in revealing the past and the future. Isn't there something you would like to know, something I could tell you to while away the time until the rain stops? Yes, I replied, as you probably know, I belong to the class of 'ZS of Perry. I have not seen many of my old classmates for several yearsg and I should like very much to know what has become of them. I have heard from a few of my friends, but not all I received a letter from Marjorie Canning several weeks ago. She is te: Thin f school in Texas and she wrote that Harry Albrecht has just been appointed cu g Professor of Spanish in one of the large universities there. Ruth Heller is teaching sewing in the same school as Marjorie. I also happen to know that Martha Boyle, the famous writer, has just completed a volume of books on memory training. Alice Council is a dietitian in a tuberculosis hospital in Wisconsiii. ,Mary Etter is staying at home taking life easy. The other day I read in the society column of the paper that four of our girls are engaged to be married.. Margaret Ann Hough has announced her engagement to john Skeehan of Ambridge, Iaenore Donaldson is engaged to Arthur Brooker, a profesqyr of Latin at the University of Pittsburgh' , Qu , . ,I 'at , . , i ,J-:Q .R .

She just graduated from Pitt last llune. Harriet Jackson is to be married in September to Bernard French, the great football star on the All American team. Ida Lendrum and Lillian Kost are teaching cooking at the 'Cathedral of Learningf But these are only a few of my old friends, and I know nothing of the others, I said. Well, replied the old witch, with the aid of my crystal ball, I may be able to tell you of some of the others. Saying this, she turned to her ball, and bending over it emitted strange mutterings and incantations. I bent over her shoulder and gazed into the ball, fascinated by the scene which unrolled before me. The picture of the auditorium in a college slowly emerged. That, said the witch, is the intercollegiate debate between Harvard and Yale. Louis Liedman and Alfred Geisler are representing Yale, and Frank Grosick and Roger Waldorf represent Harvard. The subject of debate is 'Should the United States Send Women Ambassadors to the Zulu Islands, and if not why not?' The interior of a very charming gift shop on Fifth Avenue, New York came into view. Four girls moved about, gazing at the general effect of the store. 'LSome of the girls decided to start a gift shop and what you see in the crystal is the result of their efforts. Irene, Bertha, Blanche, and Margaret are greatly interested in it and I am sure you hope that they will make a success. The door opened and a very dignified looking spinster came in. She talked and laughed with the girls in such a friendly manner that I wondered who she was. That is Clara Walters, a Congresswoman from New York. Mildred Hohman is thinking seriously of going into the business with the girls. If she does, they will start a shop in Paris. The picture vanished only to be replaced by another. It was the picture of a fourth of july celebration. As usual there was a very large crowd present. There was a great jam in traffic and all of a sudden a traffic officer, Waldo Peterson, appeared. He immediately succeeded in dispelling the jam. Ed Schaeffer was wandering around the grounds selling chewing gum. He certainly did like to chew gum when he went to school, I commented. There is Milton Sapir going through the crowd selling a book called Les Miserables . This is his version of the book. That is Elmer Troian who has just come out on the platform. As you know, he plays the violin. I peered over her shoulder and was able to discern in -the clear crystal a very dignified assembly presided over by a tall, stately man. I uttered a cry. It was the president of the class of 'ZS-my old friend, George Harrington! I inquired of the witch what he was doing. My dear friend, said she, he is presiding officer of the League of Nations. He always had a commanding spirit, I thought. 'Tm really not at all surprised. I peered into the ball again and looked over the body of assembled men. Ah! some more of my classmates: Robert Hosack and William Theis. She said to me, Those two men are representing America. Well, our class of 'ZS is well represented in the League of Nations, I thought. The scene slowly vanished and the next picture appeared. It was the scene of a backqstage in the Capitol Theatre. Gaze closely at this scene, the witch said. I stared at the picture. Yes, these were some more of my school mates. She explained the picture. Wray Schaeffer is stage manager here. Lois Wagner is directing the play. Betty Bepler and joseph Herowich have the lead' ing roles in the production. A 4 Yes, I murmured, they took part in those affairs at school. Is there no one else there that you recognize? Nofofo. Oh, yes, I see Homer Greene and Howard Teufelf' They are two comedians who are traveling around the world. The picture slowly faded away, another .replacing it. n I caught a glimpse of six homes. These are the six couples of your class who have left the straight and narrow path of single blessedness for the broader walk of life. The first home is that of Spurgeon Wuertenberger and Dorothy Rapp. As you remember they were leading man and leading lady in your Senior play. Mr. Wuertenberger is now a noted scientist. The next home is Mr. and Mrs. Earle Rinaman's little cottage by the seashore. They were sweethearts in high school
