f-+:.'ff' - 1 N if-1 cbs cbs Class Profecy .Ll So many people of the 1929 graduating class distinguished themselves in various pursuits that we felt free to let our imagination run riot and predict the following accidents, happenings, marriages or what have you for them. If the predictions don't come true, don't blame us. We only lived here for four years. But all joking aside, here's what is going to happen fLicense No. 999,999 granted for the purpose of telling fortunesl : Who would have expected such a thing? Not I, of all people-but there goes Arthur Clough hurrying for his next appointment at the Y with a dashing blonde clinging to his arm.
