9 Class Prophecq The following document was taken from the readings of an ouija board in the hands of that elninent spiritualist and' scientist Martin Lewis. Mr. Lewis is one of the oldest men in the world and DWCEICHIIY U19 only man who remembers the Great World War. The document, dated in the Year of 0111' Lord 2020, reads as follows: Dear Martin: This is James McConahey calling. Can you hear me? I've heard about the pro- grass that you have been making in spirit- ualism and thought that it was about time 1 got in contact to tell you about the big doings that we've been having in heaven. We had a reunion of the whole Senior class of '20 and found out that yOu are the Only member who is not in Heaven or Hades. I took a stroll out to the pearly gates to have a talk with Saint Peter who told me that Bill Bennett had finally died in the poor house and had just been admitted. I counted up and decided that it' was not worth while waiting for you to die before calling the class together. We niet in Miss Bozell's palace because it is the finest and roomiest of them all and there we had a report from each member of the class as to what he or she had been doing while living. Those that were not there had their report told by the chairman who managed to get connected with the Heaven to Hades line. Roy Atwaters report was read from Hades where he had been residing for some tinle. He had been a tin horn gambler and had finally committed suicide. Halsey Barber had had the Sallie hard luck for he had become a iinancier and when just about to make good had swindl- ed the investors and had sklpped to Canada with the proceeds. He was never bl'0l.lgl1E to jail for his crime but oh boy, he is sure paylng the penalty now! Wilmer Bennett, by going to church with his wife Alvareta every Sunday and keep- ing within the law on week days, had just barely managed to get into heaven. But his lot was made easier there after Mrs. Bennett had jailed him, for she had re- ceived a splendld home a.nd had taken him out of his hovel and found him a room in her own residence. Madeleine Blackledge, after many years of happy married life with her husband, Earle Darling, had received a cottage and was doing nicely, thank you- I' Mary Capper had been a school teacher all of her life, and her desire to emulate her teachers in C. H. S. had almost, caused her to join Halsey and Roy in the depths. Melissa Campbell married early and raised a large family for her husband Car- rol Hamlin. tEditor's notel. The communi- cator does not say as to her present place of abode but the worst is feared because of her well known disposition. Roland Christie became business mana- ger of the Dinky Daily at Yuma. It was necessary for him to go down below as he had charged exhorbitant rates for his paper. Ethyle Danielson had gone on the stage after leaving C. H. S. and after her death hovered between Heaven and Hades until Saint Peter relented and let her in. Earle Darling had found a job as fore- man of a section gang and by working hard had managed to hold the position. Marie Doyen after leaving High School had degenerated into a professional prohi- bitionist and for that reason joined Halsey down below. Edna Gay had been converted after leav- ing Concordia and had become a famous re- vivalist. Ralph Gould had gone to New York to make his fortune but had had hard luck and finally died of malnutrition. Carrol Hamlin after leading a blameless and henpecked life for many years went on a toot and d.ed a drunkard. A lemon ex- tract drunkard at that. Geraldine Kellogg proposed to and was accepted by Jim and both led a happy con- tented and eventless life. They died to- gether, went to Heaven together, and now live together. It is believed that this es- tablishes a record for domestic fidelity. Pearl Lowell and H8.l'0ld Mann en.ered into a partnersllip and both became million- alres froln selling worthless Oll stock. Tlley are now toastlng down below. Dorothy McDonald and Josephine Pon- ton joined forces and 'landed in the Missis- sippi penitentiary for shoplifting. Dorothy relornied and welll. to Heaven but Joseph- ine did not and she went in the other dir- ection. Dorothy Munch had froln all accounts led a very eventful llfe. She managed to establish the world's lollg distance chain- p.onship for divorces, for in a ten year per- iod she possessed and eliminated fourteen husbands. She has a job downstairs now. She plcks clinkers out of the furnace. Page TlII'l'f-X'-TTKVLJ
