 TI1K PIONEER IJrnpljcry of the (Class of 1920 On May 14. the dutiful members of the Class of Reconstruction Year met in Miss Friedley’s room for their farewell meeting. Naturally farewells cause one to wonder. So it was with the 1920 Class. Miss Friedlcy, the Class Sponsor, in a brief farewell speech told the Class that thpy had now conic to the parting of the ways, the time when each member would part for his separate path in life. This set each one to meditating. Each head was bowed in silent contemplation. Snap out of this sad reverie.” drolled Fete. or wash-tubs will be needed to catch the tears. Come on Brother, cheer us up a bit. called Doc. “Well now. I'll tell you. its just like this: I predicted that we should get to wondering alwuit the future and here is the means to foretell it. And forthwith Fete displayed a Ouija, which board immediately became the center of attraction, each crowding eagerly about Howard. Oh! I’etc, cried Catherine. “I've a Ouija board at home and I know all aliout it. Let me help you. That’s the idea. agreed Fete and they took their places at the board. Everybody came closer. My fortune first.” shouted meek little Helen Gunn. Indeed not. 1 am first. protested Nellie. Hay! called Howard, “one at a time and the prophesying will iast longer, (.eland Armstrong i first. Please Ouija. begged Catherine, tell us what Lcland will be doing in 1930.” The table of Ouija began to move and the class gave breathless attention while it spelled out the future letter by letter. Catherine and Howard faithfully rc|iortcd to the Class what Ouija said. Lcland is to have a famous musical career as leader of a Jazz Kami origination at Rabbitsvillc. Indiana. reported Kate. “What else can you expect. said Stan, when he always played for the shimmy dances in our Carnivals. Catherine Allen, always a lover of children, will Itccomc a matron in an orphan asylum. Katie we feel sure will be a success in this work provided she docs not attempt to sing them to sleep. Stanley Crowe, the popular ladies' man of 15. 11. S.. will be a Civil Engineer. His life work will be to improve the defects in the roads between Bedford and Dausch’s farm. Conte on. Ouija. don’t hesitate. pleaded Pete. Pearl Collins will eventually sign a contract with the llagenbcck and Wallace Circus as a chariot racer. The table stopped a moment and then moved on. Ha!

Has Dan Cupid been shooting his arrows in our Class!” exclaimed Catherine. Ouija raced to yes and to the suprisc of all announced the marriage of Myra Stipp and Dean N’cwland, which took place more than three months ago. “Congratulations. Myra,” shouted the Class.

Much of his prosperity is due to the fact that .Mrs. William Scoggan. not trusting Hill, oversees the farmerettes herself. Well. Bill, said Doc Radcliffc. my sympathy is with you but still you knew that Clara was a bricked blonde and you knew her disposition. Christine Schmidt will take up nursing. She will soon drop this since she will prefer watching the Corps instead of caring for the sick. Greeta Waddell will be the charming model for coats and evening gowns at I.. S. Ayers and Co..

Then he will go to New York and become an immensely rich financier of Wall Street.” Wonder what will happen to our giant. muttered Luther Ody.

He will invent a machine which will wake a person up in the morning, pull the covers tY the bed. dress him and feed him. At night it will undress him. put him to bed and if properly managed give him money and clothing.” Not so bad,” criticized Luther.

We have another church worker. said Kate. Thelma Mitchell will play the pipe organ in the First Methodist church at Oolitic and refuses all offers from distant cities. I expect Farl will sing in the choir. murmured John Cook. “Emma Still will become one of the most illustrous iloo-sier School Ma-ms. She will refuse to teach in other cities for the simple reason that she will want to remain in Orleans. Who was it that could guess a woman’s cause, anyhow? asked Pete Daggy. The League of Nations will need a President and will look to the Clas- of P 20 for a man to fill the |H sition. John Cook will be nominated and elected unanimously by all countries. He will be a brilliant President for the League. LaVerne Kamage never finding time to get married will open a dancing school in a far away city. Foremost among her pupils will be the President of the League of Nations. Ouija continued. Another dancing teacher. Ric Flynn will train a bevy of pretty and graceful girl . among whom will be a Pearl of Mitchell, in the newest steps of his own creation for the Follies. Good.” laughed Kate, if any of you girls get married and find your husbands uninteresting, go to ()sie McDowell. Why,” asked Midge. Ouija says. reported Kate, that Osie will remain an old maid and and will establish a home for old maids, tired wives, and widows. Around the home will be a high stone wall and over the gate will be written—'And no man shall enter here.' Harold Daggy will certainly use English at its commercial value. He will soon be manager of the World's Advertising Agency.” And the birds will sing who’d a thunk it, sang Doc. CLASS OF 1920 l'.'w Thirty
