( laNM Prophecy I stood at the western window watching the sun sink slowly behind the high and mighty mountains. How beautiful and extraordinary were the colors that illuminated the sky. Almost unconsciously I was awakened out of my dreaming by the feeling that someone was in the room with me. Forced at last to turn I beheld the most humorous sight I ever expect to behold. The tiniest of human beings stood on a table besides me. He was not more than six inches tall, dressed in the oddest style imaginable and what seemed most ridiculous was carrying a box, which in reality was quite small but beside him looked immense. Then he spoke and it seemed his voice was like the evening wind outside. I did not see his lips move but heard as plain as anything the question he asked. “Did I not think the evening sky a glorious revelation of the future?” As I answered, Yes, he said that in the box he held, was the future of anyone I wished to know. My thotsthen went back to Arvada to my class mates of 1913. Expressing my desire in knowing the future of these friends he unlocked the box and drew forth a small bottle. Then he asked if I would open the the window. When the window was opened and the substance in the bottle poured out I heard again the voice like the evening wind and he told me of my class mates since they left Arvada high school and their futures as he saw them. Anna Redstrom after finishing her high school career was undecided as to what line to follow so after a year of careful deliberation she decided to study telegraphy and was now an operator in California. He said she became an expert at that work and by her presence of mind (which I had often seen her use at school) she saved the lives of scores of sea-faring people. He did not know the name of the man but Anna was not going to die an old maid. When Bernice Bishop left school she had fully decided upon becoming a school teacher. But after securing a teacher’s certificate she decided there was too much worry to school teaching so she studied music. He said she studied in America but being very docile she soon knew as much about music as the Americans did and still bent on furthering her education she went abroad where Counts and Lords became hypnoticed by her wonderful playing. She came back to America followed by one of the favored Counts, the result of which Bernice became a Countess. After finishing at Arvada Walter Olson went to the School of Mines where he became a mining engineer and was now making his way to South America on the money he made raising celery. He said Walter found his fortune down there digging “dusky diamonds ” But starting home with his fortune, the natives, with an eve for business, followed him. But Walter still undaunted, produced such an offensive vapor with some of the chemicals which Mr. Drake had taught him to mix, that the natives took him for some terrible God and left him alone. But he stopped too long in

Mexico where a dark eyed Senorita lived and here Cupid’s dart struck his heart. Thirza Davis during the summer of 1913 helped her father sell automobiles. Her winning ways attracted more attention than the machines and those who came undecided as to whether or not to buy went away only after purchasing a car Thirza then went to Greeley where she studied to become a kindergarden teacher. Now she was teaching and her greatest hope being realized she was enjoying life to the utmost. She made a great success of teaching because all the children loved her. Later she established a home for children and altho able to have all the work done by others, Thirza took an active part in the work. She visited Arvada where some lucky young man smitten with her handsome brown eyes went away with her and became president of her children’s home. Byron Strickland went to Denver University from Arvada where he took up law and literature. While there he became very popular with his short stories. Later he devoted all his time to law and entered the bar in 1919. He then went to Oklahoma where he won a case for a suffragette. After this he became very popular with the suffragettes who gave him all their cases. Then after several years he gave up his law practice and went to Utah where he became a Mormon. His future from that time could not be clearly seen in this little box. Edith Champion went to Colorado Agriculture college in September of 1913, where she studied Domestic Science and Latin. After two years at college she got a position as a Latin teacher in a Kansas school She taught latin for three years then giving that up she opened a first class bakery in Denver. Attracted by the smell of the good eatables just dozens of men crowded their wav to see the cook. To make a long story short Edith cooked her way to some lucky man’s heart. Milton Nicholson, when he finished high school spent his vacation as a conductor on the Tramway in Denver. In September 1913 he went to Ft. Collins where he took a veterinary course After finishing his college course he hung out his shingle. This work was too tame for Milton so he got into politics on the Democratic side. He became more important as the years passed and in 1928 he ran for president of the United States. Being defeated in this by a plurality too great to mention, here he struggled manfully to hold down the president-ship of the I. W. W’s. Annabelle S. Smith.
