F Page 15 CLASS PROPHECY The Class of 1927 for a long while was undecided as to how they should learn of their future. Finally it was decided that they go to a Prophet. Fair and wise prophet, guardian of the unseen Things to Be, the Class of 1927 of Arriba High School is about to pass forever out of school life into life's school. Roll back the curtain of the future, and prophesy unto us what the future of -each of the fair young women and brave young men is to be. They tell me that by mere contact with the personal belongings of individuals you are able to read their future, and accurately foretell coming events. With this in mind, I have brought you these thirteen handkerchiefs, fragrant with the personalities of these twelve graduates and their Superintendent of whom I speak. Do you, then, look into the years to come and relieve our anxious hearts of the worry that weights them down because we cannot guess what is in store for us. fProphet takes first handkerchiefj b I see an immense billboard, and what does it say? A Second Mel- ba-greatest opera singer of the day l-Flora Fruhlingf' CProphet takes second handkerchief! Ah! Thirty, or forty years hence I se-e a rich man-a banker-rid- ing in his aeroplane, counting out his money-wearing his diamonds-Whose is it? His name? O yes, I see now-Theodore Kolassa. Ted always was liber- al so if A. H. S. needs any money call on him. CProphet takes third handkerchiefj The owner of this handkerchief is rather short and fat and also cross, but I guess her occupation calls for being somewhat strict in order to make the children mind. She is a school teacher-Florence Swallom. CProphet takes fourth handkerchiefj In this handkerchief I can see a great po-wer plant of which Leonard Schrack is manager and president. It is one of the largest electric light plants ever operated. This would be a dark old world if it were not for Olie. CProphet takes fifth handkerchiefl A great many lives depend upon this young lady. She is a nurse in St. Anthony's hospital-Mabel Peckham. CProphet takes sixth handkerchiefj 'i This picture discloses the private office of a great corporation, the Rock Island Railroad. At the desk is seated Denver Biby, president of this great firm. A free ride any time to the Class of '27. CProphet takes seventh handkerchief! In this handkerchief I see a private stenographer of the Brecht Candy Company. She looks very tired for she has much work to do besides writing a letter each night to Cecil. She is Mary Miller.

Page 14 W Item : The following may seem but trifling bequests but they are valuable assets to- those who receive them: First-To our sponsor, Mr. Travis, the profound admiration and ever-endur- ing friendship of the Class of 1927, individually, as well as collectively. Second-We give and bequeath to the Sophomore Class as a whole, the right to beco-me brilliant Seniors, and the eighth graders now to become jealous of them. Third-We give and bequeath to the Freshmen Class, any overlooked cuds of 4 gum. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to choose the most desirable means of disposal. Fourth-To Miss Twist, the balance in our class treasury to be used in buying a pair of rubber-soled shoes for detective work. We are sure she will need these to keep track of the librarians to be. Fifth-To Mr. Nichols, we solemnly will the right to ruin his desk by calling the assembly to order with the gavel. Sixth-To Miss Brown, the right to have her English Classes buy as many En- glish books as she sees fit. Seventh-To Mrs. Flarty, we will the right to supervise the musical department in New York City, and to give a program whenever she likes. Eighth-To Stanley Gee, Cecil's gift of gab. Ninth-Florence wills her ability to sing in the State Contest to Johanna. We are sure she will sing in the contest anyway. Tenth-To George Youngdahl, Lenoard's ability to play basketball and also some of his lengthiness. Eleventh--To Clarence Reinemer, Denver's desire to graduate from high school. Twelfth-Ted Kolassa wills his quietness to Ray Ballard. Thirteenth--Max wills his beauty to anyone who may need such. Fourteenth--To Mary, Viola., Katherine, and Bernice, Mabel wills her studious habits. ' Fifteenth-Margaret wills her graceful slenderness to Agnes Davies, thinking she will gladly accept it. Sixteenth--To Zelda, Ethel, and Eva, Evelyn wills her ability in leading on through A. H. S., a certain Junior. Seventeenth-To Naomi Blair, Mary Miller wills her plumpness. We feel she will need it in playing basketball next year. Eighteenth-To Velma Clark, Agnesslsmaiiness.

Page 16 - CProphet takes eighth handkerchiefl The signs here seem to indicate that this young man will be a lawyer. His speeches are very effective. and he is capable of much deep thinking- Max Hutchins. Who ever thought that Max would change from a farmer to a lawyer? CProphet takes ninth handkerchiefl Did anyone in Arriba suspect that one of the Seniors of 1927 would b-e a movie star? This young lady always did like to read movie magazines, but we didn't think it would come to this-Margaret Freel.

Behind the counter is a rather small girl with golden curls. She is a pharmacist. Her name is Agnes Gourley. CProphet takes twelfth handkerchiefl It will be a great surprise to a number of you to learn that Evelyn Smith did not follow the occupation you expected, but is a telegrapher for the Union Pacific R. R. in Chicago, Illinois. CProphet takes thirteenth handkerchiefj You will all be surprised to know that your Supt., Mr. Travis, will be publisher of the Denver Post twenty years hence.
