Rather shall I take unto myself a husband.” And having enticed a young and innocent bridegroom, Joe by name, she departed with him and went into a far country. And all the Sharpsburgites lamented her departure for many days. Then Mae, the Washingtonite, seeing the example of her sister, said, “Lo, I will go and do likewise.” And so saying, she decked herself in purple and fine linen and went forth to meet the bridegroom—and I looked, and behold, it was “Bill.” And in my vision I beheld a room in which there were many little children, and in their midst one speaking to them in a heathen tongue. To her they all gave ear, for she spake as one having authority. And she lifted up her eyes, and beholding me, said. ” Parlez-vous Francaise ” So hearing, I knew it to be Louise. Therefore, I questioned her with these words, “Wherefore find I you here with- out the companion of thy youth, Dolly, of the house of Lewis, for she loved thee well, and in those days would not depart from following after thee ” And she, answering, said unto me, “Verily I say unto thee, she hath not parted from me, but hath abode, lo, these many years in the house of my brother, Louis, first born of my father’s house. And they have waxed strong and mighty in the land of Wilson, being rich in many cattle and fertile fields.” And I knew that it was well with her. And I turned in spirit to the land of A. C. C., which was the native land of the tribe of Seniors, and lo, there I beheld Agnes as she held with dignity and grace the chair of Mathematics, teaching theorems and comic sections to the fair youths and maidens of the land. And her praise was on every tongue, for she had been among them for many years, guiding and directing them in the ways of higher mathematics. And I lifted up my voice and said, “Verily, fair is the fame of my classmates.” And behold, the spirit of prophecy left me. Selah. Vivian Holden, Prophet i Twenty-seven

Senior Class Prophecy And it came to pass in the second month, on the seventh day of the month, in the fifth year of the reign of Howard of the house of Hilley, as I, Vivian, of the tribe of Seniors, was wandering in the wilderness of ologies and isms with other sojourners in the land of A. C. C., that the spirit of prophecy fell upon me, and I heard a voice saying, “Prophesy,” and I lifted up my voice and prophesied con- cerning the fate of my fellow tribesmen. And lo, I behold before mine eyes a great multitude gathered before the door of a fair palace, and I saw a great sign, and on it in letters of fire the inscription: “Spice of 1934” Featuring Charlie Gray Raulen with J. Park Nunn and other stars And in that day there arose among the people in that same country a certain wise man, Parron, son of Gallop, who, having in his heart the desire to become spokesman of his people, practiced diligently, even as did the great Demosthenes in his day. And lo, the people all harkened to the eloquence of his tongue and they elected him President of the United States. And among those who praised his name was one Everett of the renowned house of Harris, going about throughout all the land telling of his powers—and he spake unto the people, saying: “Hark ye unto the voice of this man, for he cometh to deliver you from the bondage of illiteracy, for in his administration shall be created a National Department of Education, and your public schools shall wax mightily in all the land.” And the words of the campaign speaker pleased the great Parron, and calling all the wise men about him, he questioned them, saying, “How shall I reward one who hath served me long and faithfully?” And they consulted among themselves and made answer, saying, “Give unto him the honor of being first National Secretary of Public Education, for he is a man of great wisdom.” And he said, “It shall be so.” And a voice from among them spake aloud, though with fear and trembling, for they stood in awe of the great Parron, saying unto him, “Master, she whom they call Ruth, of the city of Farm ville, sends greetings. She desires me to say that though ye were once obnoxious to her, being her political rival and not of the party of Democrats, still, doth she will ye no evil, but willeth to be like unto a sister to you, counseling you with words of wisdom concerning the ruling of this great nation.” And having given utterance to these words, he was silent, and the great Parron was pleased and answered, saying, “Verily she is fair of face. I will make her First Lady of the Land. ” And the word went out among the people, and they were glad. And Lill, fair daughter of the house of Winstead, communed with herself, saying, “Behold, what profiteth it me that I should teach all the days of my life Twenty-six
