Senior Class Prophecy Time 2000 A. D. Place—Hades. Persons—Plato and Spirit of Author Scene—A brimstone plateau on the wrong side of the river Styx. Pluto is seen attempting to place a frigidaire. His red cap is aslant between his horns and his red flannel suit is very dirty due to the stubbornness of the frigidaire in being installed. Pluto speaks, “Well, without a doubt this is a great improvement. Business ought to pick up. I must put something in the catalogue about cool refreshing drinks being served here.” “Yes, Mr. Devil,” I agreed. “It would be a splendid attraction for your business, but say, Old Top, let me help you.” And with a few experienced twists I had it perfectly installed. “Whoopee,” he cried, “I’ll give you your long wanted desire to visit the Cavern of Careers for that nifty piece of work. You sure know how.” We walked through several weird and algae overhung passages until we came to a larger boulder. He knocked three times and to my extreme surprise it moved away. There stood a grotesque dwarf, peering through long shaggy lashes straight at me. I was not long held in suspense and fear, for the dwarf drawled, in a low, rumbling sound, “Well, well, you came at last, did you? Now that you are here, I don’t mind telling you, you are the first spirit that has ever entered the Cavern of Careers.” I entered, prepared for most anything and was not surprised to see little people swarming around like so many bees. We approached one man who was weaving a sort of web of the sheerest material, as beautiful as the most fickle could desire. “A beautiful career as it appears at first glance, but look at it more closely,” rumbled on my host. I did so and was surprised to see on its surface many blots and disfigurations. So many careers seem enviable at first glance, but are to be avoided when understood. This only served to arouse my curiosity further, so I asked my host if I could look at the careers of the Prehistoric Ada High Class of 1929. “By all means,” he said, “I’ll be proud to show you that group. It is among my best.” He drew forth a long key, unlocked another door, and we entered another chamber. In the middle of the room I esp!ed a sign, ‘‘Careers of Ada High Class of 1929” and dashed wildly over. The first career was that of Frances McAlpin. It was unusually large but on closer inspection I found it to be united with that of Miller Brown who owned a chain of drug stores in Monroe. Next came that of Paul Routson, a musician of great renown, farming near Ada ip the summer months. Ruth Gribbens made a large fortune selling the record “My Last Love” by Forget Monott. George Allen and Charles Fisher were still wisecracking and had successfully filled the vacancy of Bud Fisher, the great Mutt and Jeff cartoonist. Margaret Peterson and Claudine Graves, being inseparable, had established a home for wealthy old bachelors and were reaping rich rewards. Lois Jean Ju kirs a Florine Baransy had recently visited “The Little Church Around the Corner” and bestowed eternal happiness on the lives of two of that Prehistoric Class. John States and Lester Evans. Walter Routron, with his witty tongue and amusing laugh, had made a name for Hr self and was now president of the I. W. W. Association with headquarters at Iloboken, Alaska. Robert Wallick. retaining his Ada High football ability had taken the place of Red Grange and was seriously contemplating accepting his last movie offer. =:------------------ L:i J I
