' Prophet either to chance upon some Oriental seer, who suddenly appears from a haze, and who 9' - 4' ' gives his prophecy and fades away into a cloud, or else for the Class Prophet to fall into a swoon, and while in a transient state to go through the most marvelous adventures. By all my force of imagination T am unable to do so. It does not seem natural to me. And, besides, swoons are out of style for men in IQI7. So I am giving my prophecy-just a plain, bare statement of the facts as they will be, and I am always right. p ln exactly twenty-five years, six months, two weeks, three days, eighteen hours, Hfteen minutes and thirty-one seconds there will rise from a crowded table of officers in the United States Marine Corps a man whose form and feat- ures would seem familiar to all present St. johnis men. He will propose a toast, l'lere's.to the man that is truly good. May he at some future time be born. This toast is typical of cynical, witty Houston Noble. From one corner of the table will come a voice, lf you had proposed a toast to a man who is truly great, his birthday would have been minef, It will be the powerful voice of little Bill Price, and this is a type of his wit Both of them will have entered the Marine Corps, and success will have been the re- ward of each. lProphet's Note.-After writing one paragraph I find it very inconvenient to use the term 'lwill and will have, so in the remainder of this article the past tense will be used.l The army life has claimed others from the ranks of the Class of I917. Marion Cox and Carey Jarman both entered the service shortly after graduation, and both were very successful. Marion Cox is now a colonel, and is in line for 78

Carey reached the rank of captain, but after two years' service he grew tired of overwork and resigned to take up another profession. For the simple reason that he knew no one expected him to do so, he began the study of theology, and is now a full-fledged minister. His specialty is the performance of marriage ceremonies in Elkton, which is the get- ting-off place of so many young about-to-be-man ried couples from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Who would have thought it of him? And who knows what Carey may undertake next? On June I, IQ33, a man with light red hair and medium build approached a rather pretentious farmhouse in South Carolina. He bore a Bible under his arm, and his features reminded one of-no, not of Reds Spicknall-Ira Tarlton. And it was he. I had veen visiting Jimmy Brashears, who owned this colonial house, and Ira had just arrived in town, not to preach, but to sell Bibles. And he had been remarkably successful. It is said that many a family who hardly knew what the Bible was had purchased one after Irais glowing account. That night we had a regular St. John's reunion, and, be- lieve mc, Jimmy's wife sure is some housekeeper. The next morning, when the mail came in, I ran across a package of Government seeds, addressed to e i Jimmy, whose broad and well-cultivated fields proclaimed that he needed them not. But what I noticed in particular was the following inscription in the right-hand corner, Compliments of N. Dodge Woodward, Representative from the Sec- ond District of South Carolina. Dodge had moved down in that country and had convinced the people that he knew something about the art of statecraft.
