Each one had in his hand a tiny white cap on which was written for thinking only . As I stared in amazement they placed the caps on their heads and began dancing a jig on my typewriter keys, their little turned-up toes beating out the wild rhythm of the future. we place our caps upon our heads and think with all our might Weill tell you what the future holds and hope it will be right elvis albright is now capably filling mr drapers shoes as teacher of sociology and economics mary evelyn dority and mary clardy are also at Clarksville high teaching home economics mary evelyn will soon leave however to be married blanche morgan and haggard page are about the happiest young marrieds we know they have just bought another farm where they are going to raise tailless monkeys Qwonder how they will hang from the treesj betty lou hassell is now engaged in collecting star fish from which she con- cocts the latest creations in ladies hats she is ably assisted by elzada mccullom who recently made headlines with her spectacular capture of an octopus martha heflin and johnny hicks are athletic instructors at Vassar college for girls jane austin and frances hunt have just finished their new book the first crea- tion it is illustrated by horace mccurdy and harold burchett-the cleverest things-and it will be published by john bailey robert davenport and joe davenport have opened up a group of chain stores with dorothy as their advertising agent sam pearsall head of nbc just began recently to capitalize on his hobby photography

Then, too, they placed their Queen, Her Highness Rebecca Sue Wood, on the Throne for the Thanksgiving Day Game and further elevated themselves by furnishing leaders such as Captain Howard johnson and Cecil Morgan in order that the court might win the Little Ten Championship in the contests of football. The ladies of this Court, wishing also to contribute to the achievements of this group, captured top honors in the popular pastimes of basketball in their district and later were runners-up in the sectional. Much of the success of this team may be con- tributed to Ladies Frances Hunt, Margaret Turrentine, Johnny Hicks, Martha Heflin, Ann Richardson ,and Martha Thomas. Among those who earned them- selves literary honors in this court were Lord Archibald Manning, overseer of the court's parchment, Lady Rebecca Stephens, the honored actress and songstress of the court, and Lords George Morrison and johnathon Hudson, highest ranking debaters of the day, And, last of all, through strong competition, Her Highness Queen Future appointed Lady Elizabeth Thomas to the highest position of the Court as Her Lady of Intelligence. Then, with but few of their number fallen by the wayside, they entered through the door into the great Hall of Achievement and was each presented with a chip called Diploma off the stone of Graduation. Therefore, having earned themselves honors together, they separated to give the world the benefit of their knowledge and experience.
