®S ' championship on earth and has come up to challenge the Man in the Moon. And poor Lucy felt so sorry for the Man in the Moon that she came along, too. I was anxious to know what was the matter with Peely, for she wasn ' t talking but was busy registering wonder. Oh, said Bob, Peely is our dancing wonder. She has taken up polo dancing and has lately become so interested in moon light dances that she has come up here po that she may have moon light for dancing any time she chooses. And do you notice how Johnny Slater follows her around? He is passionately in love with her. and tho Peely has refused him again and again he has even followed her up here. I hurried the party up to the Moony Castle, for the Lady of the Moon was just having tea, and I knew she would be pleased with all these earthly guests. While they were all talking to the Man and Lady, I was busy asking Bill what had become of the rest of our class. Now listen, Trix, you remember what nice girls Amber, Pauline, Velma and Manila were? Well, they are chorus girls now. Yes. that ' s true! You never would have thot it. would you? Oh. yes, and there is Ross Wilson, Donald Long and Clare Grubb; they have become great capitalists and have formed the peanut trust. Now I know you are thinking about Marie Bauer. Well, she and Esther Teeters are so very smart that they have finally devised a method of cracking hickory nuts without a cracker and have gone to Egypt to impart their knowledge to the Egyptians. And do you know that Rhuea Bateman and Ruth Musser disappeared soon after you left and no one knows what became of them — but they were headed towa,rd Detroit. Helen Dawson and Jessie Prickett are the only other ones I can think of, and they married Bill and Har- old and have a million acre ostrich farm In Mexico. But. Trix. how in the world did you get up here? Well, you remember when I left you that Saturday, I went over to the court house and just as I entered I noticed Ward Horn entering with a sizzling bomb in his hand. Tho I knew Ward was a Red, I will admit that the bomb surprised me. Well, there was a zip! bang! and then I woke up here — thanks to Ward ' s bomb! — JESSIE BOLAND. 19 2 Page Twenty-Three

;a«§ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY What was that little speck flying up towards me. Ah yes, an aeroplane! Could it by any chance be from earth? Tho I had been living happily up with the man in the moon for twenty years, now I was anxious to know what was going on down on earth. I hastened up to the plane and noticed the driver coming towards me. How natural she looked. Why ' Hen ' Kuhlman, what are 3 ou doing here? It was some lime that she didn ' t re ognize me, for I must confess that twenty years had had its etfects. Why ' Trix ' Boland, what are you doing her?, yourself? Oh, that is a long story; fir.:t let me hear about yourself. Well, you see, its like this: I ' ve just taken up flying, my publii ity manager advise! it, so I ' m going in for it big and brought this party up on a little business trip to the moon. Ah, you are an Actress? Oh yes, I have taken Theda Bara ' s place in the movies and am doing very well; yo i know my old accomplishments! We run down to the ' plane, and who should be there but a party of my old friends. There was Russell Hathaway with that preoccupied stare of a genius, and Bob Sheets — but wasn ' t he a dude and important, too; and we could hardly recognize Johnny Slater — he was at least six feet tall. There was Peely Hoodelmier with the soulful eyes, and Donald Brown, poor Fat, how he had changed; there was about him that hen- pecked, resigned air. Lawton Feagler was there — how love sick he looked. There was Birdie Huffman, and Harold Nugen attired in a rurty looking coat and horn rimmed glasses. Oh yes, Virginia Wigent and Bessie, the inseparables. Gene Prickett and Helen Likens were along. There was Cully and Lucy, too. Bill had just taken off her hat and was com- plaining how dreadful her hair looked. The question was, What is it all about? Why are you here? Then Bob spoke up. Oh! that important Bob! I ' m the ambassador from the United States. Tick. the secretary of state sent me up here on the Anti-Judoon Special Drive, and he was especially anxious that the Man in the Moon should become interested, and so of course he sent me. Since it was necessary for me to come, these others cecided to come too — just to see if they couldn ' t make some improvements on the moon. My, how Virginia Wigent had changed. She wao no long- er the meek ' irginia: in fact site had acquired many of the Pankhurst airs. Dees the Man in the Moon believe in Women ' s righto — well, he will pretty soon, won ' t he, Bessie? Oh. could this be the backward Virginia? Oh, yes, just look how you convinced your former hus- band, Ralph Fell, tho they did have to send him to Logansport soon after. Oh, Trix, (this is Ad. ' ie Mae speaking!, Do you know I have just made a new crochet pattern and I am so anxious to teach it to the Lady in the Moon. Tell me. ' Bob, ' what are the rest of them doing here since they can ' t speak for themselves? Well, there is Mr. Hathaway, he has just invented a new soap bubble pipe and since he cannot find a large enough factory site on earth he has come up here. ' Birdie ' has al- ways been a railroad man and has done so well that he has determined to start out for himself and has come up here to build a scenic railway. Just then we heard some one sigh heavily. Ah. it was Lawton! Lawton, you fool, be glad Hilda did jilt you, said Fat Brown. Look how that woman, Bernice Baker, ruined my life. Why I was so henpecked from morning to night; and because of her horrible temper, I cannot marry Jelly, my star, the flame of my life! Oh, these women! There is Harold Nugen, continued Bob. See how nutty he looks. He is a biology professor and has come up here to breed snakes. Gene Prickett and his wife, Helen came along just for their health, for they are bored with things on earth. And Glenn Culver? Oh, he is a prize fighter and has won the 1 U 2 O Page Twenty-Two
