Class Prophecy They had told me I must prophecy, but I knew not what to do. For I was not born a prophet, any more than one of you; I had spent the day in study, and in thinking. hard and deep. So I now. all worn and weary, lay me down ami tell asleep. I had Iain there hut a moment, in that dumber, calm and sweet. When I rose, refreshed and strengthened. and stepped out upon the street: Hut I very soon discovered I was in a most strange place. Kot I saw not one known figure, nor an old familiar face. I was in a mammoth city. I v the side of which I knew I hat New ork. the nation’s glors, would stand hut a techie show; Great skyscrapers all about nr; aeroplane« through all the air; Wonders far beyond conception here and there and everywhere! I Could scarce believe my senses when 1 mu thi air-hip line Bore the well-known name of “Berrien Springs.’ while the same gleamed from each sign; And iiiy cy« were opcm d wider than they'd ever been before. When I saw a slip of paper dated 19+1. While I puzzled o'er this problem, staring ‘round with open eye . hooking for some one to question of this marvelous surprise. I lieliehf near me a lady, coming on with footsteps slow. And I thought 1 would accost her. and learn what I wished to know A» 'he came to he still nearer. I thought 1 had seen that face. Somewhere c!«c. yet could not put it, in exactly its right place; Hut at last she stood before me. and all wonder vanished quite; 'Twas my old chum. Hazel Wetzel, and I met her with delight. It was strange that 1 should know her. for the change in her was great. She was tall and very slender, while she moved with queenly state. She seemed quite surprised to see me. said I had long been away. And gave me an invitation to remain with! her that day. Her kind offer I accepted, and 'he hailed a dying ear. Which we lioarded, skimming swiftly, through the ether, fast and far; I watched the conductor closely, ’twas a lady, short and stout. Fully able to assist the passengers stop in or out As she took my fare she knew me, and stood (minting out strange sights -Kvrlyti I.udy thus had proven her lselicf in Women’s Rights! On the car a dude was sitting, toying with a poodW small,— Why, twas Darwin Donganl I scarcely would have known the man at all. Soon we flitted past a corner that looked like old times to me. For it was the w ell-know n corner where our High School used to lx ! Now the place was changed to show a factory, twenty stories high; And I noticed a small fish stand there, as we were passing l v. (Page Fourteen) And behind the greasy counter tood a man I knew at sight? Yes. for it was truly Paul Knight, shouting Fish! with all his might. I looked at hint in wonder, for whoever would have thought That our old-time brilliant President could to such a task he brought. We flew right by a milliner's shop. suspended in the air; The name I saw was Madame Phillips, but we did not see her there I was told she lived on Ferry Street in a mansion quite the style. Ever attended hv pretty maid , ii hi r husband were gone awhile. Hut the whole day through brought surprises; iJorothy was dancing on the stage Ro ann was an o| -ra singer. Kdwm. a preacher quite the rage; Richard, a soldier; Alma, an author; Evelyn. an old main, print and mat; Ruhy had grown so very heavy Anti-Fat was all she'd eat. Kdwina was a teacher fair; Leslie an insurance agent; Marihcl led an orchestra; While Ronald, money lent: Peggv was a spinster, living all alone; She loved to fondle cats and dogs, and call them all her own Fleta married an Irishman, with seven little girls. I learned she'd been quite husv keeping thcii hair m curls. Elton was a taxi-driver, he drovt «o careful ami slow. The traflic-cops would walk along, to tell him to get out of low Mary taught girls athletics; Roger lived alone; l.eah nursed sick |H ople, with her sunny cheerful tone Merl taught a mission in India; Virginia owned a beauty shop, Olive moved among the poor, trying their poverty to stop By and by wo reached the home where Hazel lived her husband, too. Hut he was a traveling salesman, so I didn't find out who! I was vets tired and sleepy, o I felt that it was best To withdraw myself a little for an hour or two of rest I slept long ami very soundly, and just judge of my surprise. When again, aftei my slunther. I opened my drowsy eye . I found myself in the cottage I had lived in long ago. Ere I started out that morning on that curious quest to go. I sprang up and sought the window; yes. it was the same old town. That in what seemed years ago. I had wearily lain down; Hut the dream had been so life-like, that e'en yet I could not feel That the vision I had witnessed could he otherwise than real. So you see. dear frie-ids ami classmates, that ‘twas nothing hut a dream I've liecn telling, howe'er natural and real it to you must scent; Hut in this old world of wonders, dreams have oftentimes come true. So. who knows hut this, niv vision, may be realized by you? - —Hazel Wetzel Leah Vidbrecht

A little after school licgan we attended a wiener roast in the Indian Field.-. In mentioning this we would like to say that the Sophomores surely gave us a wonderful time. I-ater on we attended the school party given by the Juniors, at which we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We had a party of our own later. too. which was for only us. We were anxious to return tin good time the Sophomores had given us. Accordingly we hired the Neighborhood Club building for the party. Kverything went off splendidly atxl we think tliat everyone enjoyed himself. When Coach Harvey announced the names of those on first and second basket kdl teams, we were delighted to find that Chester Til I strom and Harold Snaveh had made first team, while William Gifford and Leo Wetzel were on second team In the election of ofticers second semester Chester Tillstrom was elected president.
