CLASS PROPHECY When the class of 1914 was graduated, it was decided that at the end of every five years a pa- per should be published as a means of keeping the members of the class in closer touch with one an- other. The articles for this paper were to becon- tributed by as many of their number as possible. The first issue had been much like our former High School paper, for many of the class were still in college. But now, in 1924, it is time for the second, and I have been very busy here in my New York office finding out the whereabouts of the different members, for I had been chosen the editor of this periodical. My editorial experiences have been interesting and might be related as follows: It is Monday and I am eagerly awaiting the advent of the postman for I have sent out cards to nearly every one in the class and expect some answers today. Presently the telephone rings. Hello, is this you, Madame Editor? a voice calls from a great distance. Fine! How are you, Park ?i' for I'd know his voice in Asia. Great. Got your card. Sorry we can't send anything for the paper but I'm pretty busy with the crops and Sadie is making butter to sell in town. just say from me that you can't be happy and single! Good-bye and good luck. So Park is very happy. The mail is on my desk, also the morning pa- pers. The first letter is a very imposing one with Mayor of Ashtabula, George Hubbard, printed in the corner of the envelope. It gives a short account of the state of politics there, and how the next election is coming out. The door bell rings and Esther Wallin, who is an expert typist in the adjacent office enters and says there is a man in their office asking for me. She says she couldn't send him in to me because he felt sure that he was in my office then, and that they were just trying to get rid of him. I go out with Esther and there is -lim Savage in a heated argument with Ralph Newton whom he has not yet recognized. There is confusion for a short time, then I lead Jim out of the office as one of Ralph's clients comes in, for he is a noted New York lawyer. Jim is the Representative from the Nineteenth District of Ohio and is very dignified. lrVhen I am again alone, I glance at the head- lines on the morning paper and there is a hand- some cut, covering the whole front page, of Mil- dred Pickard, who has just been married to a wealthy Count. ' As I am thinking that I have enough material now to fill a book, the door suddenly opens and a tall, handsome man begins to explain the perfec- tions of a certain Beauty Preserverf' without even glancing at me. When he stops for breath, I ask him if he doesn't recognize me, for it's Paul Metcalf. We have a nice chat until I am again interrupted by the telephone. This time it is Ethel Latimer, who is a settle- ment worker. She says she has an invalid child with her and she wants the address of a skilled surgeon. I tell her of Ralph Osbourne and she promises to call on him at once. Well, now I can at last finish my mail. A neat package attracts my attention. Upon opening it, I discover a beautifully bound book, Far from the Madding Women, by Harold Walrath. I next pick up a small scented envelope, in which there is nothing but a newspaper article on the work of Helen Lewis, who has long since be- come famous on the stage. George Anderson rushes in upon me. Say have you heard the news ? And he always knows the latest for he is Editor of the New York World. Reginald Kain has won the 310,000 prize for his picture 'Diana' for which Julia Dickinson was the model. Isn't that fine? I exclaim. Do you know' any more news ? No, but I have two books here, one of poems by Ruth Dickinson and one on travels by Frances Amsden. They are fine. I'll leave them for youf' And with this he is gone. I take up the paper again. The President's cab- inet is announced and there scheduled as Secre- tary of the Navy, is the name of David Zeile. Down farther, I see the advertisement of a mat- rimonial bureau operated by Miss Harriet Wilkes. I already have a little article on Grace Adams as a successful missionary and one on Hazel Jef- fers as a Red Cross nurse, which will be all right. Guess, I'll get all this material together and see if I have enough. The telephone is ringing per- sistently.. Hello, is that you, Ellajeanne ? Doc- tor Gordon Lang calls. Do you know where I can reach Hazel Lindsley? I have a bad case here which I think she can handle finely, as it is in her line of nursing. I give him her address, and CLASS PROPHECY--Concluded he rings off hurriedly. The office boy is reading a circus bill upon which are pictures of a man in all sorts of imposs- ible positions,,who is advertised as L. Potter, Acobat, Greatest of the Day. Imagine our dig- nified Leland! There are two tickets on my desk which I have not noticed before. They are from Lewis Stew- art for the lecture which he is to give the follow- ing week on the VVonders of Radiumf, Vtfhat is all that noise out on the street? I look out and see VVilla Dunn perched on a soap box talking on the interests of Votes for Women which New York' has not yet received, while Neil Robinson, Chief of Police, is trying to keep back the mob. There is a gentle tap on the door and Margaret Raser opens it as I call, Come in. ' I came in answer to your card, as I was in New York today,', she said. I am so glad you were elected Speaker of the House, I told her. It's perfectly wonderful, the first woman, too. Thank you. Did you know that Sigrid Froid just received a large fortune from her uncle? She and Hattie Frary are founding a girls, school with it, of which Sadie Finley is to be matron. Oh, yes, and Lucile jackson is in the millinery business in VVashington. All the fashionable people go to 'Madame Lucile' Oh, I have some news too. I said. Ray Brooks got first place in the Marathon races. It will be in tonight's papers. VVhere are you stay- ing while you are here Pi' At Raymond Dye's hotel. It's considered the best now, isn't it ?,' she asks. Yes, and so reasonably priced too. They say Clara Inman has been most successful in Grand Opera. You know she always did want to take up singing as a professionfi Well, I must go now and get fixed up for to- night. I'm going to the theatre to hear Byrd Calvin and Harry Arvidson as pianist and soloist. Do you know of a good hair dresser ?', Yes, Agnes Carlson is considered the bestf' I answer. And Ruby Inman has manicuring par- lors in the same buildingfi Good-bye, I'll see you again before I go. And Margaret is gone. She bumps right into the messenger boy, who has a telegram for me. It is from Clarence Wess- man and only says, just tell them that a bank- er's life is the bestf, I smile, for I still remember him as all business. Louise Tilley, a teacher of German at Vassar, has sent a little German motto which I'm going to put on the front page. I receive also an article from Hazel Parker on -the Life of a High School Teacher. It is to have a prominent place for it shows that she has had experience. A special delivery is now given to me. It is postmarked Syracuse, and is from Glenn Klingen- smith. His VVorld Famous Minstrels are to be in the city tomorrow and he wants me to be sure to go. The door is gently pushed open and Arthur Curtis, wearing a minister's street costume, walks in. The folks back home sent me as a delegate, he began softly, as they were too busy to write. How is everybody, and do you ever see Cath- erine McIntyre ? I ask. She studied Domestic Science for a while and then married the President of the College ? And Pearl McKenzie P 1 question. Oh, she's traveling abroad as a rich old lady's companion. She writes that while she was in Sweden she say Lillian Gustavson, who is gov- erness to the Swedish Royal Childrenf, Is it true that Grace Silvieus ran away with an actor? I continue. i Yes, and Salinda Cook has a grocery store and everything she sells is called by a Latin name. She has been most successful. Earl Cooper took up scientific farming at college you know, and he is now many times a millionaire. T'hat's all the news I know, except that Aurie Davis and Lucile XVhitman are starting an Old Ladies' Hos- pital of which we will be very proud. And now I must hurry away from this wicked New York. Good-bye.', And the Rev. Mr. Curtiss leaves me alone. I close my desk slowly and walk out of the room thoughtfully, pondering over the varied for- tunes of the class of 1914.

J ames Savage Of the seven debates Ashtabula has taken part in, five have been victorious. A double victory came to A. H. S. in debate work this year. It was planned to have a triangular debate but South High of Youngstown withdrew, thus making a dual debate between Warren and Ashtabula. The dual debate was held May I. The question debated at Warren was the same as that debated at Ashtabula. Resolved, That the United States should repudiate the Monroe Doctrine. At Ash- tabula the affirmative was upheld by james Sav- age, Margaret Raser, Ralph Newton with Treva. Robishaw as alternate. The negative team, Theo- dore Maxwell, Walter Pritchard, Freda Buch- steiner with Julius White as alternate. The judges were Hon. E. L. ,Lampson, Jeffersong judge J. VV. Roberts, jefferson, and Fred Hogue, Ashtabula. The decision was unanimous in Ash- tabula's favor. At Warren the affirmative was upheld by James Fisher, Mable Lawrence and Frederick McClure. The negative was defended by Murray Cook, Carl Robishaw, Harry Arvid- son, Clifton Sanborn, alternate. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of the orange and black. THE DEBAT1NG TEAIVL-AF F IRMAIIVE THE DEBATING TEAM-NEGATIVE FIRST PRIZE STGRY AND THIS ONE STOPPED BY THE WAYSIDEH LOUISE TILLEY' '14 Equal were they in the tourney and equal on the battlefieldg equal also in the heart of a maid. The rays of the setting sun fell through the castle window on the fair face of the Lady Jocelyn, and slowly faded away. Still she looked into the dis- tance, and twilight darkened about her, leaving her still with her question unanswered. And the nightingale repeated it again and again, as he burst into song- VVhich shall it be? W'hich one, which one P -but he gave no answer. One by one the stars appeared in the dusky canopy above, and the summer night breathed softly upon her. She was aroused from her reverie by the clatter of hoofs, and saw, as she bent her glance, Sir Anton riding through the gate. He had returned from his quest victorious, and she knew he expected to win another boon. She fell to dreaming once more and broke the silence with a half-whispered question, Which one would turn back? Either -or both ? A sudden fire was kindled in her dark eyes. Lady Jocelyn had found her answer. The crimson curtains fell behind Sir Anton as he stepped from his chamber next morning. A'message from My Lady, Sir Anton, and Merwin, the page, bowed low. Her answer, at last, Sir Anton thought. Ahl womanis heart is always thus won. She must have heard of my victory. Aye, 'twas glorious! Well worth reward, He broke the seal deliberately, 'confidently, but as he read, a look of surprise came over his face. The Lady Jocelyn had written thus:- Obey this without question. When the sun is highest today, set forth by the forest road un- til thou comest to the edge of the wood. Take then the south pass to the Castle of Sir Kedric. If Sir Quentin has not reached him first, receive his message and return by the same way. One thing more: I shall give my answer, only if the victor returns in four and twenty hoursf' Sir Anton laid the message aside and smiled again.- Her demand is most easily fulfilled. I have covered the distance in full two hours less, when time was mine own. What thinkst thou, Anton, has not fair Jocelyn given thee advantage of some three or four miles? Does not favor smile on thee P - At this instant, another was smilihg also. The other was Sir Quentin, and in his hand he, too, held a message from the Lady Jocelyn. And does she think Sir Anton will bring back the message, My Beauty, when thou art in the field? She must know we have done far more for a prize whose value, compared with this, was a trifle to be thrown aside-no more.-Yet the world counted them great. At the appointed hour two of the noblest Knights of the Guard rode forth, brave and fresh in their youth as the earth herself, in all the hope of early summer, charmed as it were, by the love of a woman as the earth by her ardent wooer, June. And one left by the north gate, the other by the south. Full three hours before, another rider might have been seen, departing to the south, at full speed. Sir Anton's path led through the shady forest, where the sun shone like flecky gold through the green archways. It was nearly sundown when he reached the outskirts of the wood. His charger lifted high his head, and pulled the rein hard. Then he stopped, with pricked-up ears. And his master, as he listened, thought he heard a groan of despair. He rode on, and he became more cer- tain that he heard a feeble cry for help. There was a turn in the road, that brought him to the open plain and here his steed again sniffed the air and stood motionless. Before them, directly in their path, lay an old woman, whom Sir Anton recognized as one of the servants of his lord's retinue. O noble Knight, take pity, take pity! I can go no further alone. The way was long and the sun was hot. Help me, and she stretched her arms pleadingly. Sir Anton answered not. He thought of his vow to help the weak-. He thought of Lady Jocelyn. He thought also of Sir Quentin, passing by the other way. He looked down upon the high- way where their paths crossed. No charger had passed upon it recently. He was first. No, no, he could not turn back now to lose. And yet-. But no, his decision was made. He tossed a gold coin to the woman in the path, I am on a quest and have no time to pause. Take the gold. Another may pass here soon, and he rode away, his armor glistening, his head thrown back, but his heart was heavy. FIRST PRIZE STORY-Concluded Old Margot watched after him, until horse and rider were a mere speck in the distance. Then she stood erect and cast the gold afar. I-Ia! Ha! So that is thy worth, Sir Knight! ,Tis well, well, that thou hast thus forfeited thy bride. 'Another may pass this Way.' Aye, an- other may pass-. She bent to the earth and listened long. At last she heard the distant beat of hoofs. As a lightning flash, she stretched herself upon the ground. On they came, horse and rider, good to look upon. They were enjoying together the beauties of a summer sunset,-the one speaking softly, the other quivering with delight at the sound of a loved voice. A moan reached their ears! As the first had stopped, so the second stopped, almost upon the woman. My good woman, what has been thy misfor- tune ? said Sir Quentin, as he reined his horse aside. Alas! Noble Sir, I had traveled far and the sun beat hot upon me. I am old and cannot go on. Help me, that I shall not spend the night on the highway, mayhap to die! The Knight had dismounted and was about to lift her. Suddenly Jocelyn semed to stand before him-Jocelyn, radiantly beautiful, wonderously fair. Should he lose a bride like this for the ser- vant woman! Should he cast away love, wife, happiness! Happiness? Yes, or Wife, so Won P- Once more he stood before his King, once more his vow he repeated and felt again the touch ofthe sword on his shoulder. Arise, Sir Knight, Sir Quentin, arise ! Knight-to help the weak-to follow Christ !- Ah, no! Not thus came happi- ness, not thus could he win his bride. My Beauty, we have lost! The first victory thou hast not won. And by my vow, thou couldst have won this, also ! - The second passed not, as the first had done. Another night was gone, another day wore on. Lady Jocelyn, standing alone in the castle hall, heard the blast of a trumpet, the clang of a gate, the beating of hoofs, nearer, nearer, nearer.- Which one had returned? My Lady, Sir Anton has returned. Lady Jocelyn turned away, with eyes averted. Presently she spoke, I await Sir Anton here. Then she heard the clank of spurs and, as the curtain was drawn apart, saw before her the one who had passed to the south, flushed 'with thoughts of victory, eager, expectant. Come, Sir Anton. Lady, your message from Sir Kedricf' Sir Knight, break the seal. The message is thine own.-Now read ! Sir Anton read. His look of triumph passed. His hand trembled and he crushed the parchment. 'fMay I-Sir Quentin,-Lady Jocelyn, has he returned P No, Sir Knight. Sir Anton turred with a groan and left the hall, the parchmc 't slowly falling to the floor. Upon it one might have read only the words f'Hast thou stopped by the wayside? The Lady Jocelyn gazed upon it and smiled, half-sadly, half-joyfully. But now she heard again the trumpet and the clang ofthe gate. She lifted her head proudly and the sadness fled as she parted the curtains and saw that Sir Quentin had stopped by the wayside. f'The winner of my quest has come at last, shc said, nor did she let the curtain fall. THE SENIOR PLAY Lydia Bennet ............... Ellajeanne Smith DRAMATICS THE SENIOR PLAY- PRIDE AND PREJUDICEH Pride and Prejudice from the novel of the same name by jane Austen, was presented by the Senior Class at the Majestic Theater on Fri- day evening, April 24.

The leading role, Prejudice, was taken by Miss Margaret Raser and Lewis Stewart repre- sented Pride The play was a great success, much credit be- ing due to Mrs. M. J.
