class Prophesy 1 am an old lady living alone in the outskirts of a small town. For years 1 have watched the young people of my community grow up, and with age has come wisdom. To me has been given the power of reading the tutu re from tea leaves. Often on a cold winter night when the fire is crackling in the fire place, I sit beside it, sipping tea and read¬ ing the future of our young folks. Last night as 1 sat dozing, I heard a knock at my door and a young voice calling, “] Iay 1 come in?’” “Of course, my child, please do,” I answered. A young girl, whose face was alight with the joy of living, entered. “They told me,” she said, “that you were able to read the future in the tea leaves. ’on’t you please tell me what the members of my class will be doing in the next few years?” “Have a cup of tea, my dear; I will be glad to read their future in my tea leaves. Whose fortune shall I read first?” “Phil Crutchfield is our class president, so perhaps he should come first. He is such a fine boy and we all like him so much.” “He is a fine boy indeed, and I see for him a fine future. I see him in a spacious hall surrounded by newspaper men. Can it be — it is — the senate of the United States. He is filling the place of the late Carter Glass. He is a great statesman, and will continue to be one. I also see a beautiful young lady, who is Senator Crutchfield’s wife, bettei’ known to you as your class reporter, Anne Draper Bonham, f ' rom this tea leaf I see the elaborate furnishings were designed by youi- class treasurer, Edna Love Bonham. “IMy, my I on this leaf I see a complete newspaper, and such a well columnized one at that; and no wonder, for I see the reporter is none other than the bright little blond, Lois IMeClure. “Dear me, here the head lines say. The Great Sky Clipper, design¬ ed by Herbert Catron, whom 1 believe was your vice president, and flown by the great i)ilot, Jim Catron, accompanied by his two charm¬ ing air stewardesses, your class secretary, Emma Jo Aker, and Frances Fei’guson, will make its first non-stop flight from New York to South •Ameidca to-morrow. “Have anothei- cup of tea, my dear, and I shall continue, for I see you still have a long list of names. . 99 -
