Hlass Prvphevy By Mary Nell Smith Although it has never been publicly announced it is generally known that I possess the remarkable power of projecting myself through the years into any given time in which I am interested. Tonight, being restless and weary with the cares of the day, I longed for a change of scene and tune. So, closing my eyes and re- laxing one night with the moon shining bright, looking at the stars and wondering to myself how I wish I could predict what my fellow classmates will be doing five or even twenty years from today. Still wanting to know about the future of my classmates, all of a sudden the stars disappeared and the night was still dark. This was very strange to me because I had never seen such darkness. For awhile I was afraid it was too dark for me to move because I could not see anything. Then out of the darkness came one little star shining very bright, and with this star came a great voice, of course this frightened me because I could see no one and like a wish coming true out of no where this voice said to me, l shall grant your wish. With only one star in the sky shining very bright all of my classmates came before me very clearly.
