1921 P O W W O W Page 27 Senior Prophecy IRST, if the things told in this prophecy seem impossible, I can but say that they are exactly as I saw them at the astrologer's. The astrologer lives in the central part of town, so thence I proceeded. The man himself answered my ring. The future of the Senior Class? Yes, yes, right this way, Sahib. Right in here. A low, dark room furnished in luxurious oriental taste greeted my eyes. Three shrouded stands in one corner especially attracted my attention. The future, you said, Sahib? The third stand to the right, and uncover the mirror. I did so. Nothing happened. Sahib must first drink this. I drank, and immediately a sense of pleasurable satisfaction came over me. I sank into the chair and looked into the mirror. It grew misty, opaque, then slowly cleared. I was looking into a large canyon. The high, rocky walls were covered with a verdant green. A small grove of trees was in the foreground. Beside the grove was a fire, Gathered around the fire was a motley group of creatures, half naked and half covered with skins of wild animals. A council was taking place! Surely this was not the future. It must be the past. But no! the date on the mirror showed 1999! The world had reverted to the primitive! Again I looked at the canyon. A man of large stature and portly mein had arisen. In his hand he held a skin. He began to read. Faintly I heard his words: Fellow students and class mates, we are now about to participate in a hard fought and bloody battle with our old enemy, Nampa. All here voting death to the foe respond. A thunderous Aye rolled back. Classmen, the roll for the warriors against Nampa will now be called. Please respond with Death. Caldwell, Sowerg Spechtg Springer, Spillman, Teach: Plattg Postlethwaiteg Lowell, Robinson, Scotty all here. Good! Prepare your weapon! Be ready to attack at sunrise two days hence. On with the dance! At this the men seized their weapons and commenced a slow, sinuous dance, chant- ing meanwhile, Death! death! to Nampa, Nampa, as they swayed to and fro. I noticed a curious circumstance. Their names were tatooed across their backs. I read on the back of the leader, the name, Ralph Hodge. The scene faded. Then grew opaque, then cleared again, showing in the same canyon, a large cave hollowed out by water. A small fire glowed in the interior. As I watched, a man withdrew from the coals a white-hot piece of flint, which he chipped with a fragment of coal flint until he had shaped a spearhead. Around the cave were other men employed in the making of arrow and spear shafts. When they turned in their work, I could read their names on their backs. Barnes, Christopher, Edlefsen, Mendenhall, Morris and Viloodhouse were there, engaged in the manufacture of arms. Seated to one side, studing the mechanism of a machine, was a man. The machine was a catapult and the man was Van Cleve. Suddenly the sound of running was heard. The men caught up their weapons, but laughed and threw them down when they saw Tom Wentz. But he had important news: Hodge says you fellows make a rear attack upon Nampa with the catapult two days hence at sunrise. The scene was blotted out to change again. Upon a high rock, over-looking the entrance to the canyon, and surrounded by boulders of various sizes, stood a young woman. Lying unconscious at the foot of the great rock, was a man whom I saw to be Conley. Then I knew that the woman was Fannie! for she had always tried to make a hit with the new men. For the fourth time, the glass grew misty and the new scene was transformed to a small clearing in,the woods. Suspended from the high limbs of great trees were huge pieces of meat. Women were hustling about, or bending over the Haines and turning large skewers on which were the chunks of meat roasting. These women I
