On Percy Thomas' hand is pictured a Post toward which he tends, and which will eventually be his destination. For john Sinderson we read world-wide fame as an orator. In Nina Reynold's future but little is to he seen beyond the stone quarry where she hopes to find her fortune. The lines on Webster johnson's hand indicate much wisdom. He will walk i11 the trodden paths, and like his famous ancestors, write a dictionary. Agnes Steinman will join the ever-increasing ranks of school teachers. i The hand of Mabel Mulroy shows a long line of soldiers, promi- nent among whom is a particularly Frank one. Such was her fate She was Early named, But came always late. 3 Marcia VanDuzer's hand reveals a love for the sea, and her pref- erence for the Brigtgsj above all other sailing vessels.
