SENIOR ( LASS PROPHECY—1914. Time— Setting—On the large, spacious piaza of the senior president’s home. Characters—Members of the senior class. First Senior—Just think, the last class party! This is a rather solemn occasion when you think about it. Maybe we will all never be together aagin. Second Senior—I wonder what we will all be doing ten years from now. Paul McCune—I’m sure I do not know, but while ago when Rollie was giving us that nice little talk, it made me think of the dream I had about him a few nights ago. All—What was it? Paul—I dreamed 1 was in Washington City sight-seeing and happened to stop in the House of Representatives one day during a session. Who should be on the floor but our class president, Rollie Rlacknell. Such a speech I Ibnever heard before and such influence over an audience I’m sure could never be equaled by anyone but Mr. Montgomery himself. I sat and listened to every word of his speech which lasted five hours. At the end every listener sat spell-bound, so dazed were they by the magnitude and the eloquence of the speech. It Is needless to say that the bill which he was trying to get through was passed unanimously by both House and Senate. The next day “Blackwell” was printed in big bead lines on every newspaper in the country. In the New York Herald, under his picture, which was almost life-size, his biography was written, the most important item of which was the fact that be was president of the Bedford High school graduating class of 1914, that in itself making him famous. But then that was only a dream; however who knows, it may come true. First Senior—Everything seems to point that way. I). Trainer—Talking about your funny dream, I certainly had a funny one the other night. All—What was it? D.—I dreamed that 1 was in New York City and upon picking up a newspaper I read: “See Ifatillna Mltcheluski, the great Russian grand opera star in “Le Crocodile . Her debut to European grand opera last season was marked by a glorious succe s and she is now on her first tour to America Ifatilina Mltcheluski is certainly one of the greatest singers the world has ever produced, and it is prophecied by the greatest musical critics that fhe will finally rank as the greatest singer in the world. Don’t fail to see this young genius in ‘Le Crocodile’.” I dreamed that I bought a ticket and went to see the wonderful Ifatilina Mltcheluski and when she appeared, who should it be but our own little Ilene Mltchel. Of course, I did not betray her and agreed readily with the large fleshy gentleman sitting next to me as to her Russian features and accent. How Is that for a dream? First Senior—There is some class to that dream. I’ll bet you dreamed that with your eyes open. I).—No I didn’t either. 1 dreamed that at home in my nice little white bed with my eyes shut. Wendel Cornwell—Well, I guess I know something good about one of the members of our class, and it isn’t a dream either. 27 First Senior—Tell it quick.
