Fine, broke in Catherine Flannery, vainly poking into the depths ofa not too orderly desk in hopes of finding that unwritten theme which she was expected to read to the class, if you are going to study commercial art, Helen, I'll employ you to sketch all the houses and lots I am oing to sell. Someone told me, when they heard me trying to sell afs for the Annual, that I would make a good auctioneer of real estate. What are you going to be, julia? I? Why I am going to raise the dust of the centuries and become the Price Hill librarian. So you want to continue browsing in literary lields, do you? said Mary Horgan from her place at the window where she was watching John as he pushed the lawn-mower, Well, I'll test your ability, as well as your patience, when I call to get the latest books for my story-telling hour. Oh, so you're going to confine your story-telling to an hour, are you? We remember a time years gone by when you used to weave fairy tales all day long, said Grace vigorously brushing the type- writer. What are you going to be, Verna? said Anna Marie smiling at that diligent young lady who was actually practicing on her desk a difficult passage of her fifteen-day piece. Oh, I've been thinking that when my concert tour brings me to Cincinnati, I'll offer my services gratis to aid all your high-flown ambitions. You always were charitably inclined, Verna, said Mary McGurk, but now let me tell you how I've planned to serve you. When you are all forty-and fat-I shall 'lift' your faces, and renew your loveliness at my fountain of youth, for I intend to become a beauty culturist. If you girls really mean what you say , said I, you have solved a big problem for me, for I'll just write it all down and hand it in to the editor as our 'honest-to-goodness' class prophecy. And so I did. Mary Louise Aufdemkampe, '17 57

' omg 51' 0 6 ITH graduation so near at hand, now is the time when conversation runs toward future careers. Thoughts of JS if-2 what they are going to be are filling the minds of the Seniors. 'Io think about a career is one thing, to decide J..-are C f definitely is another. Our choice must be made within the next ew months. Native ability with a liking for a particular avocation is the best guide in this perplexing problem. Upon entering our room before class this morning I found fourteen girls engaged in a lively discussion as to what each is going to be . Well, ifI have an opportunity to go to college, said Marcella, I'd like to major in Physical Education, for I just love to swim. And I , declared Flora, whose ideas of becoming a home maker are already sprouting, I want to major in Home Economics. The dream of my young life is to become a Spanish secretary, chimed in Helen Connell, unloading an armful of books with a sigh of relief. I'm thinking of applying for a position with the Associated Charities, stated Cami le so seriously that we all turned to see if she were in earnest. Why, how wonderful, then you can help finance my kinder- garten and free day-nursery, this from Vera who was busily engaged tidying up the bookcase. When the attention of ye perfect stenogs, Catherine I-Ierbers, Anna Marie and Grace, could be aroused from the engrossing occupa- tion of hearing each other's lines for the class play, one of them answered: Oh, don't bother us. We've long ago decided to lend our shining abilities to the business world. Helen Winters, who was so busy sketchin our pictures for the front page of the Annual that she seemed deaf to al things except trying to decorate each one with the nose and the bob becoming to her type, poised her pencil long enough to say, Well, the delight of my eart will be to take up cartooning next year at the Art School. 56
