Prophecy Seated one day at my desk glancing through my daily corres- pondence, I was suddenly interrupted by at timid- Please ma'am, there's a lady out here who says she must see you. Although very busy Cas all dietitians are proverbially known to heb I re- luctantly looked up from. my latest bill for B. acidophilns to gaze upon a stylishly dressed young matron. The features seemed vaguely familiar and yet- I went forward eagerly as intuition told me that perhaps in this person 1 might gain some information of the outside world. VVhy, don't you know me? queried my visitor. Don't you remember how we compared tit1'ation figures in chemistry and were called down soundly for it by Miss French? The mists began to clear and in spite of great dignity and weight 1 bounced across that room and gathered my friend in a fond embrace. It was none other than Helen Halbert now' the wife of the famous Dr. Henry I-licks, dentist. W'ell, well, dear old pal, what brings you to this town? How are the girls and the dear old school and - l-lold on. this from Helen, that's the very purpose of my visit. You know of course, that Carrol Ellsworth is dean of our Alma Mater, Csince Miss Cooper has left for Xhfasliingtoiil, and she has asked me to round up the girls and invite them to the big alumni festivities to be held this spring. Its to be the first ever held in our school and expenses will not be spared to make it worth while. VVe want to get every member of the class of 1920 back to B. C. for a few days at least. INill you help me? So we painstakingly compared notes and found to our great surprise that many and varied had been the experiences of our former classmates. In fact. such radical changes had occurred as to lift ns out of the past into the present again. X VVe found that Bom Cowdrick was working in co-operation with Edison in trying to perfect a clock, the principle of which, is to make the other person see the time as the first one wishes. From all reports there seems to be a great demand for this time- piece as it will mean .many hours more time to sleep in the morning. Doris, you know is gaining much attention in nutrition clinics with the twins she adopted while in B. C. and to whom she applied the priniples founded in Miss Francis' rattery. The twins of course are grown by now and show evidences of becoming great intellectual leaders. We found also that Anne VV. was safely married and when her family wasn't taking too much of her time she was lecturing' on The Dangers of a Camp City. And Hester? She ate so many raw potatoes to change her Hora that she developed a new species far more powerful than any yet discovered, Dr. Kellogg is very proud of Hes' efforts in fur- thering science of Hora and has her with l1i.m as living proof of the motto- Eat and Be Healthy. We had known that Blanche Collier was taking advanced ex- perimental work at Columbia and Yale and now she is considered one of the foremost Home Economic experts of the day and age. Miss 'Cooper often calls her in on consultation. By the way, Helen burst in, did you hear of the latest sen- sation in the musical world? Madame Marienne Morrise has startled all the music critics in the country by her magnificent interpretation of Wfagner, McDowell and Berlin. Pete, you know served for a time as Head Dietitian at the San. but the opportunity for her peculiar talent was limited there and now she's supervising dietitian in the Fiji Islands. Of course she won't be able to be with us but we'll send her an account of the reunion and she'll probably be just as happy. I always knew Pete would rise in the world.

So we scanned the list further and ,found that ,lluliette had inaugurated a new idea. Through many chemical experiments conducted by her husband fthe able Charley who used to be Kel- l0gg's fellowfl a non-toxic pork chop was produced. Indy is doing such a rushing business she'll soon be owning her own Rolls-Royce. Mildred Mc.Xrtlnn' is demonstrating this pork chop all through tl'lC.SO1ltl'l and no small credit is due her in this remarkable success. Gladys Harbison and Ellen Holland are both leading society women. They say Gladys never steps out ot her door but that several cameras are clicked and I'orthwith we have a delightful new pose of one of our most charming matrons, etc.'l Ellen has two adorable girls for whom she is planning a professional career on the stage as classical dancers. Mary Bundy hesitated betweeen her two most devoted lovers for such a long time that she decided to give them. both up and follow her first love-Dietetics. She is now instructing at M. A. C. and from all reports she is perfectly happy in herwvork. Mildred XN'hite is getting tat and strong and has her hands quite full taking' care of Tom and the chickens while Madge Jewell tthis is the only blot on our escutcheoul has gone in for serpentine dancing' and is doing the 10-20-30-circuit. hive always prophesied that the hula would get her yet. Her latest song hit is Get Up There and Dance. By the way, Helen inquired, have you heard ot the new drama at the Post Theatre called 'lJon't Pull Your Eye-hrows?' It was written and produced by none other than our modest K. Sallade, who having learned her lesson produced this marvellous moral play to save other young girls from similar disaster. The leading' lady is none other than our own Helen Eich now called Gladys Vanl5eVeer Hofen. From the number of specials, telegrams and other manifestations ol love received. I have reason to believe she will soon take on the shaclcles oi' matrimonyf' 'It's too bad, ,l asserted, 1 always knew' her eyes were a menace to single-'blessednessf' Ida Hagman has started a school ot her own and is very suc- cessful. She has put into practice all her ideals ot a perfect school system. Can you guess who is ably assisting her? Bertha Moyers, who because oi l1cr vast experience in chemistry laboratories, has made her department one oi the most renowned of all the schools of Home Economics. Betty Irvine, I oll'ered, though happily married to her Billy and the' proud mother of perfectly nourished youngsters, finds time occasionally to write interesting articles for the Goon I'I.EAI.'l'H Magazine giving in a popular form a simple outline of economy as practiced in the homtzl ' The Roberts girls are living in California permanently, l bc- lieve. Io and Peeler have a restaurant where good old-fash- ioned meals are served at any price beyond 510. Their motto is The Best is None Too Good. Marjorie got the Board ol Di- rectors at the San. to lmuild a branch Sanitarium close to ,lo's res- taurant. Sl1e's the dietitian and reports. a flourishing business. All Hail to the Robertslu Lillian Anderson is the famous 'Movie Cootie' ol' the Films and is very tempermental in that she demands that her leading man .must always be short and dark. And so, having recounted the experiences ol our cl1lSSmHlCS Helen rose to say good-bye. just think how Fate has ruled the destinies of the girls in our class who so confidently laced the world that memorable night in June 1920 All too soon my old school friend left me and once more I reluctantly turned my thoughts back to my neglected flllllffi ll.
