The Iicllcropllon L.: during our High School days, Lesteig Long. And M I looked again I could see through the mists of many years our former classmate, Anna, who now helps to make the home peaceful and happy for her husband, Carl Martin, who is now a fanous political spell- binder. I behold Anna taking in washings to replenish the family fortune while Carl does nothing but make political speech-es from coast to coast. Then the Spirit again turned her course and mine leading me back to the old home town.. There I behold a beautiful church wedding at which I am somewhat surprised. The double ring ceremony was used with Rev. Marion Mollenkopf officiating. The bride, Nellie, appeared in a beautiful dress of old rose canton crepe designed by her own exquisite art. The groom who appeared to be Ervin Kreischer wore the conventional. Such a pretty wedding I had not beheld in many months. Again the Spirit of Prophecy turned my course andllooking I then be- held our thriving city of Chicagog and whom lshould I see but Herbert Geh- res who is now' tra :sling sales nan for the Lyon SL Healey Conpany.. He sells their famous band instruments and gives various entertainments .vhile traveling. What should I next see as the future was rent but a school of learn- ing and a noble professor before his class. They look at him and reverence the vast learning he acquired at the Tully-Convoy High School.. Why, what is that they call him as they bow in homage before him? Professor Myron Kirkland. And behold a change came over the spirit of my dream., and I felt a strange, burning desire to see my old friends, Lena and Norma, till the Spirit of Prophecy, responding to my unspoken wish, conducted me to- a bachelor girl apartment in a large foreign city where the two were sitting by a fireplace, talking of the past. Lena, now a famous violinist., Calls forth sweet strains from her polished instrument, and Norma dances in de- lightful time to her music. But my heart was stirred Within me as I en- tered this apartment for I saw a vacant chair and noticed they were look- ing anxiously toward the doorway for the coming of their prophetess to complete the circle, And verily, as I beheld this scene and marvelled thereat, thinking, lo! the sweet strains of music died away, the veil was drawn over mv eyes, shutting out from my vision the Things to Be, and I 'turned my eyes back to the Things that Are and am cvnident that goodness, truth and prosger- ,ty shall follow the lives of the noble and talented members of the Class of 1924. wEsther E, Rager. Oh when youre up youre up, And when youre down youre down, But when youre up against our team You're worse than upside down.

The Bellerophon And it came to pass, while I pondered these things in my heart, the :loor of a home swung open before my vision, and I found therein a house- hold made happy by a wife and moaher who had found her greatest ambit- ion in the highest of all worldly vocationsfrthe A maker and keeper of a home. My soul rejoiced to see that it wa.s Marie, but the Spirit of Proph- ecy was leading me further on in my quest of the Things to Be. She led me on to Paris where in my vision I saw a private designing shop owned and managed by Mesdames Routon and Varnevali formerly Marguerite Gunsett. and Vesta Warner. It is from this shop that the very latest Parisian creations are obtained by stylish Americans. And lol then appeared our beloved president, Frank Giessler, yea, ev- en as today, I could see him in all his dignity and his words were heeded as we today of the Class of 1924 have heeded and attended unto them: for his ambition has led him ever upward and on pvard until he was even the Governor of this, his very own and native state, Ohio. Then across the years of the future I hear suneone call, Hellol Hellof Number? It is Ruth Potter, a chief operator, who is to connect the lines for communication day in and day out. The pleasure and satisfaction of looking into the future is always mixed with pain and sorrow. I feel like cryingel mist cryfthis wom- a.n's grief that I now see over.vhel.ns me. Sirely, it is sotne lonely widow mourning the loss of her husband. No, not sa. I see nothing like that. Tis only a fair bride weeping at the loss of her pet paodle. Who is the bride? Her name was once Eva Lare but now Mrs. Beatty. The latest newspapers report that the American forces were led to victory by her brave and gallant soldier, General Owen Beatty. But yet I looked again, and I could see among the society circles of that distant time. among those most fair to look upon, among those most bright and dazzling to the vision, a dainty lady of society, enviediand flat- tered by all, and the queen of every gathering-Edvthe Showalter. Her highest hopes for a life among the social elect have been realized., As I look once more I am led off the Pacific coast away out on the Ha- waiian Islands where Mr. and Mis. Fensler are found as joint governors of the Islands. She was formerly Grace Sheets. And now the Spirit led me over rocks, hills, crags and torrents through broad prairies and wide valleys where .she gives me a glimpse of a large sheep ranch in Montana. Here I find Mr. Ira Harker and his wife Thelma managing the ranch. They have established a bachelor hall where Bruce Mollenkopf and Lewis McDaniel are the chief bachelors. Ah! thirty, forty years hence I see a rich banker riding in his aero- plane, counting out his money and wearing his dia noiids. His name? Oh. yes, I see it now. It is Victor Greulach. And as the Spirit led me from the scene of the banker, there were sweet strains of music which held my soul entrauced by the beauty and perfection of their harmonies. As I looked about to know whence they came, behold I did find the same one who so often sang so enchantingly to
