24 THE GRADUATE. Claude. you are destined to be a traveling salesman. After leaving High School. you be- come an agent for a soap factory. After ped- dling soap for a few years. you save enough money. by living cheaply. to buy out the firm. A few years after you become head of the Hrm. it becomes bankrupted. Hut luck is with you for John D. Carnegie will donate you enough money to begin business again. About ten years later you take your oldest son i11to the tirm and now it will be known as V. W. Brown S: Son. Iintil your death you will be actively interest in the soap business. Mildred here's what I read concerning your fate. Mildred Shaner finishes High School at Vhesterton in 1912. She then enter a university in the southern part of Florida. Completing her course here. she will cross the waters to study music in llerlin. In 1925 she returns to the I'ni- ted States to teach music. Iler pupils are mostly professors in music. who desire to still broaden their musical abilities. She is also a stanch sutfragette and for this reason will never marry. VVhen she dies. she will bear the title of being the oldest woman in her native state. Flossie. you were the last in this list of fame. After leaving the High School you enter a school for girls in Kalamazoo, Michigan. No, it is not a reform school, but instead, a school where domestic science is taught to the advant- age of those who desire to marry before they have learned it at home. You finish this course in six years. Then you will go to Paris to teach some of the best French chefs how to Cook. Yes. you will marry and your husband will also be a chef, so that perhaps he can do the cooking. while you go out visiting and come home late. You will be to your husband as .Ioan of Arc is to Franceg practically the bread winner of the family. Upon the death of your husband, you will take your children back to the United States and will place them in an orphanage. while you earn a livelihood by cook- ing in a prison. You will die at the ripe old age of one hundred years. Vlosing the volume, I had just been reading and placing it back on the shelf, I wiped the cold sweat from my brow. and glad that our fate was not worse, and that all anxiety was swept away, I left the labyrinth to return holne to write you all that I had read. Now hoping that no suicides will be committed by any of you. I will submit this decree of fate to you. Modern Arithmetic He was teaching his girl arithmetic He said that was his mission. Ile kissed her once, he kissed her twice. And said. Now that's additionf 1 And while he added kiss to kiss. With joyful satisfaction. He stopped to r-ateh a few from her. And said, lit-ar. that's suhtraetionf And still they lingered there to kiss, With mutual elation, The bold lad doubled up the sum And said, t'That's multiplication. 77 Her father came and raised his boot And snorted in derision. That chap struck earth two miles away, Pa said, 'l'hat's long division. 7
