) PROPHECY ( ONE warm afternoon in June of the year 1920, I sat alone in the parlor of a fashionable hotel in San Francisco, awaiting rather anxiously the return of my friend and private secretary, Alice Robinson, whom I had just brought West with me from Boston to assist me at the annual meeting of the great National Physical Culture Conference of which I was both founder and president. “This is the fifteenth anniversary,’ I said suddenly, half aloud, of the Class Day exercises of the Class of 1905 of old Armstrong. I wonder where they aliare! Oddly enough, just at that moment Alice rushed in in great excile- meut with a large bulky mianuscript in her hand ‘What in the world can that be?’’ Tinquired. ‘Oh! I have just received the dearest letter from Mary Winters,’’ cried Alice. ‘ She has succeeded in locating every member of our class, and now she is writing to tell us all aboutthem., How fortunate she is to have martied that wealthy lumber merchant in Michigan. thus being afforded abundant leisure and opportunity for all her delightful enterprises. But let's read her long letter.” Reuben West, cur class president, had won fame as the greatest political orator of the day. For several years after their graduaticn he and Lelia Henderson, equally noted as a gifted speaker anda great ‘Womeus’ Rights’’ woman, had concucted a Jaige school of elocution in Chicago, in which they had been finally succeeded by their sticrgest pupils, Charles Longus, Jeanette Bradford and Aithur Carter, national | Bessie Gibson, after completing a course at the Wash- ington Conservatory of Music, has become as famous as Madame Hackley whose place she then occupied. Thomas Smith was to be seen every morning in his Prince Albert and silk beaver on his way to the office of Lawyer Francis de Sales Miller of Philadelphia in company with the latter’s private secretary, Pearl Keys. There had been recently formed a club to publish poems and songs for the benefit of the Settlement House conducted by Jesse Mason and Ella Cochran; the members of the Club being Marian Beverley, chairman, Blanche Carter and Charles — Scott. Claude Tolson, being early inclined to Christianity, had established a small church in Laurel, of which he was parson, — and Ruth Lee leader of the praying band. Clarence De Veile and Frank McKinney had won cael fame as artists in Paris and elsewhere through the painting, — a Sleeping Beauty, for which Sadie Harper and Joseph iaaae Thomas had posed. Florence Childs and Lula Ball had become ascistant printers in the establishment of Manly and Company and — were winning great reputation for their splendid work, An extensive dry goods store had been opened in Glas- gow, Scotland with Ida Bronaugh as proprietor and Mamie Perry, Virginia Johnson, Marian Whitley and Eva Taylor, clerks of great efficiency. Opposite this grand store was lo- cated a Milliner’s establishment under the direction of Edna Hamilton, The leading models of these two stores were Ella Baltimore and Beatrice Thomas. ‘Laura, said Alice, when she had finished the letter, I think we shall have to agree that the Class of 1905 has proved itself truly worthy of its noble Alma Mater.”’ 4 %
