The cup was presented to the school lay lla-Wayne Silliman, a member of the team, and accepted hy the alternate. 'l'homas Otis. The Seniors have had two delightful parties this year and ex- pect to enjoy many more. The first party was a Lyric party, with refreshments at Richardson's and an after session at the Armory, where the remainder of the evening was spent in danc- ing. The second party was in the High School. and a field meet was enjoyed hy the Seniors and faculty. Supper was served in Room VI, which was prettily decorated in the Senior colors, black and gold. While the Seniors were enjoying themselves upstairs at the field meet, the Juniors slipped i11 a11d took the 5,- n sgxllltfttf ice cream. When the Seniors were ready for it, great consterna- tion arose. for the cream was nowhere to he found. Search as we might. it could 11ot be discovered. Two of the boys rushed up town illlll procured three gallons more, and so the evening ended most happily. We sincerely hope that the Juniors had a good feed even if it was at our expense, 'We are now nearing the close of our High School life. ln a short time the l'lass of '13 will depart. But as we stand on the threshold of life, we look back at the dear faces, and hear the loving voiees in the dear old school, and we hid them all a fond farewell. S. W.

1 Elie Jliuturv One evening, a short time ago, two of the Senior girls were spending the evening together with their Latin. As they ceased their studying for a moment, one exclaimed, How interesting it would be if we could visit the Sibyl now, and learn the future of all our friends and classmates. And suddenly to one of them appeared a vast cave, cut from the rock. Strange murmuring was heard in the distance, and gradually these words were formed, t'Wl1at would you of the Sibyl? The astonished girl immediately replied, HTo know the fate of my classmates of l913.'l Instantly. the gates flew open, and the prophetess of Apollo was seen seated on a tripod over a Hssure in the earth. The vapor overpowered her, and she spoke thus: I foresee for the members of the Class ol' 1913 unusual sue- cess. Your noted president, Peter Cranmer, is destined to be- come a great orator, filling important places on Chautauqua platforms. 'tLouise Ingersoll, your vice-president, will command a fine salary as instructor of music in the public schools of Des Moines. 'tl see your secretary, Nellie McLeod, happily married, and Joseph Wtllls, the treasurer, a most successful barker for VVil- liam Weaver's circus. 'tOn a conspicuous corner in a large city, l have a vision of a prosperous department store, over the doorway of which is the sign, 'E. Fehleisen, V. Smith 85 Co.' 'tYou may not be surprised to learn that DeVVayne Silliman will become editor of the Appeal to Reason. Perhaps even greater honors await him. t'Through the combined efforts ot' the suffragist leaders. Naome Johnson, Lois Munn, Eva Hoyster, and Florence Ostrand, Sarah Waddell will be elected President of the United States. Willia1n Sumberg, with his genial smile and courteous man- ner, will make a big success as a traveling salesman. 'tThere is marked musical talent in the Class of 1913, and l can hear the compositions of Elizabeth Gaston, with words by Fern Temple, presented to enthusiastic audiences by the Nelson Trio. Effie, Virgil, and Ruth, with Edith Chamber- lain as accompanist, Francis Gustafson and Naomi Curry will also become great musicians. HNor is the class lacking in literary genius, for among the celebrated writers of verse will appear the name of Beulah Spurgin, while those of Ora Frampton and Tillie Sumberg in ro- mance, will be no less important. Their writings will be made more attractive by 'beautiful illustrations from the pens of Myrtle Wilson and Marie Sherman. As the years roll past, the name of Blaine Culver will be linked with that of Mark Twain, and blessings be showered upon him for dispelling many a heartache. Not many years shall elapse ere Harvey Starkes is to be connected with vast news- paper interests. t'Raymond Veale is destined to fill the oflice of Post Master
