A- H- S- Sophomore Prophecy. Say folks, I had the funniest dream the other night. I saw the class of '24 as it shall look in ten years hence. As I visited one of the prominent theatres in New York, Il was surprised to note that one of their best and leading comedians was Claude Hall, and in the following acts of a dramatic play was one of our never-to-be-'forgotten class-mates, Crystal Bennett, starring in The Henpecked Husband, with Howard Wallace, who was winning all the audience with dainty and graceful ways. . After the theatre as I started along the street, who did I see but Ward Stanley, who .informed me that he was pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. Before I walked much farther I saw that the sign onsa window was that of Edgar Jolley, a world-renowned lawyer. I at once re- cognized the name and wentin to call on him. He was the same old Edgar, laying down the law to his co-workers. He told. me to my great surprise, that Mrs. Bion Shoemaker, nee Madeline Lewis, was suing for divorce from her husband, Bion Shoemaker, on the charge of gross neglect. After returning to my hotel I picked up the evening paper and looking' over the society columns recognized the name of Madeline Barton, who was entertaining at her home Miss Irene Place and Miss Thelma.Davis, the world renowned athletic teachers at Jackeson Academy. The next morning I had planned to visit the library and there I found Esther and Daisy Hensley as librarians. On looking through the books, one autl1or's name seemed familiar: Russel Whitehurst, on How to Study. Daisy told me that he had written a great number of books. I left the library and went to the department store. There I found Floy Waters, clerking at the ribbon counter and she said that Bertha Twigg and Bessie Houseworth were also clerking in the same store. In the afternoon I visited a style show and there met Wanda Caris in all the lux- ury possible. She said she was on her way to an afternoon tea given by the famous pianist, Lilibel Cole. She invited me to accompany her in order to meet some of the old Gang, To my pleasure I found Harold Shoemaker and George Hershey, the celebrated horticulturists, and the rencwned pro- fessor of dead languages, Robert Lea. They told me that they had just re- turned from a visit to their old home annd While there attended a house party given by Zelma Shoemaker in her country homer near There they met Lois Watters, Opal Renz and Gladys Rosecrans. The next day Lilibel tookg me to a park. Imagine my horror to come upon our ever-smiling Paul Bennett for whom we all had such .high hopes. running a merry-go-round. Near-by we saw a poster advertising the strong- est man inn the world, none other than the well-known Claude Claypool. We visited the most ,exclusive modiste shop and there found Merlin Martin, our dainty, graceful agriculturist as a model for men's fashionable evening clothes.Then the vision seemed to grow dimmer and the last per- son we saw was Ralph Jacoby, a second Barney Oldheld, as popular with the world as he was with his class in 1922. ---KATHRYN WESTBROOK.

5, 1 - ... '-- A. H-S--4iJQ9Qg1sfil-f ily- .ICJ Freshmen Prophecy. When we started in the Freshman class we were a bunch of Freshies for sure. lt was then for the first time that we founnd out what real Work was. But we hope that we will reach tle Senior class by-and-by. We were enjoying an ice skating party one night and I had been think- ing about the future and what it would bring to each of us. As I was gliding smoothly on the ice all at once I fell down and I saw some of the most beautiful stars I had ever seen. I seemed to be inside a large snowball. The stars vanished as quickly as they came, but were im- mediately replaced by brilliant lights. I then seemed to be inside a mag- nihcent opera house crowded with people. A little usher lead me to a seat. I had just come to my senses when the usher brought a young couple in and seated them beside me. I saw that the usher was Kenneth Snyder and the younng couple were 'Lloyd Carter annd his wife, nee Erma Davis. I was so dumb struck I could not talk, but this was only the beginning of my adventure, for the curtain went up annd a little man stepped out and introduced himself as Kenneth Shults, the owner of the company that wound now present the play entitled 'l'he Vamp. The Vamp was Doro- thy Buck, and the leading men were Earl Kent and George Peak. Be- tween acts we were entertained with dancing by Ruth Gale and Erma Cline, accompannied by a jazz orchestra connsisting of George Benedict, Herbert Dill, and Lucille Kyrk. Lloyd Carter said that Ruth Kohler Carter Was suing her husband Crawford for a divorce on the grounds of non-support, for he had lost all his money betting on the races at the Ashley Fair. He said Clinton Beards- ley had become a lawyer, due to his gift of gab, and Laura Belle Stephens and Ivry Denney were taking a trip to Europe. After the show we went to a cafeteria owned by Clifford Dray. Flora Belle Peak and Bertha Smith were waitresses and Alfred Ruggles was the cook. Clifford said that he lost his best waitress when Nancy Holt eloped with a duke. While in the cafe, I read in the newspapers that Ethel and Bessie Myers had fallen heirs to a large sum: of money and were enjoying life in Cali- fornia. In a magazine I glanced over a story written by Veta Rebog she was surely becoming a good writer of fiction. We then took a walk. Erma said that.Dorothy Williams was the gov- ' g ess of the rich banker, Hubert Vanausdal. We passed by a large school ilding where Grace Wells taught. All at once we heard a commotion, and Charles Haughn came run- ning out of one of the houses followed by several dishes, a rolling pin and a skillet. One of the dishes hit me on the head and knocked me down. Just then the snowball melted and I got up with a bump on my head and went on skating. -WAYVE ROSECRANS 4 Q' ii .1 fi nj ,-.1
