of evil. And now I see Edna Ashelford and Carrie Hoag- land. court reporters, in this sensational trial. And, as I ponder over how it came about, the spirits lead me into other fields, and I find myself gazing into a magnificent cathedral, where a stately priest in his robe of dignity pours forth words of inspired wisdom, and verily I say unto you, it was Floyd Nordsttom, who had entered the work of the church. And I happened to gaze upon the walls of the cathedral, and 10! there was a gor- geous banner emblazoned with the name Ruth Nugent, and when I asked the reason for heralding her name to the skies I was told in all reverence that it was she who had been most successful in teaching the natives of Af- rica how to shimmy. And it came to pass, while I rejoiced over the noble works of the class of l21, the door ot a home swung open before my yision and I found therein a household made happy by Doris Anderson. L Even as Iwatched the home lights die away the sweet strains of music held my soul entranced, and as I looked about to know from whence they came I beheld Ila singing, toiJeanis accompaniment. . And lo! the music wrought a change in the Spirit and it came to pass, as I looked into the professional circles, I beheld Harvey Bonness, a brainy lawyer, with June his-able secretary, and a freckle-faced youth, Law- rence Dickerson, his still abler office boy. As my feeble intelligence was struggling to grasp the meaning ofvit all the odor of ether iioated to my nos- trils and I was led to the ghastly scene of an operating room. Arnold Bader, a famOIis surgeon, with his faith- ful assistants, Marie Wolcott and Lillie Rawlings, were performing a delicate operation on Bessie Jeffreys, who was sorely afflicted with elasticity of the gray matter. From the horror of this scene Iwas graciously at- tracted to realms more agreeable, and I beheld Leland Drinkall and Lewis Young, ohicial garbage collectors in Paddock. e Sad as it may seem, every class must have spinsters, and, verily, my heart. was stirred within me When I be- held the frivolous, giddy lives of Bessie Leui, Helen Green and Alda Robertson. And as I was grieving over thesehappy, unhampered lives, the rumble of a wagon and the shrieks of a dago rent the airellTen-a centa, a dime, banan, banan, cantelopal ll And,veri1y I say unto you, it was Curtis Perry, a sheeny peddler, who was pleading earnestly with Gilbert Rose and Donald Laub, both master mechanics, trying to inveigle them out of a dime. As I pondered, other familiar faces loomed into view, . and I beheld Marion Welsh avoice teacher in the Boston Conservatory and Albie Santon a cartoonist for Life. And, verily, as I beheld this scene and marveled thereat, thinking, uAye, even shall it straightway come to pass with each and every one of us,H the strains of music died away, the veil was drawn over mine eyes, shutting out from my vision the things to be, and I turn- ed mine eyes back to things that are; that, as ucoming events cast their shaddws before? surely only goodness, truth and prosperity shall follow in all the days that are to come to the fair and talented members of the class of'1921.
