I was wondering what the class of '26 would be doing in years to come. The house was very quiet and I was the only one home. All of a sudden I heard a noise and upon looking around I saw a little dwarf at my side. I-Ie looked up with a very queer smile and said, Ah hal I know what you are thinking of. You're thinking of the class of '26 and wondering what they will be doing in later years. I can tell you but I guess I'd better not. Oh please, please tell me Mr. Dwarf. That is what I've been wondering- but, how did you know? Oh I know everything. Don't you believe me? Alright I'll tell you a few things about your class. There are ten students in it, live girls and five boys, one of the girl's name is Dorothy, and one of the boy's name is Clinton. Ah ha! Am I not right? I knew it. I began to get impatient but was afraid to move for fear he would vanish so I simply sat still. Soon he said, Close your eyes and don't open them until I finish, if you do-good bye. He thought for a few minutes and then said, Alright I'll tell you, and proceeded thus: i'Ah, I see a shape appearing. It is a farmer. I-Ie is coming in from a day's toil. Within a pretty little bungalow a blond maid awaits him. Any one who knew Bill Gwerder in high school would certainly recognize him now. I-Ie has changed a little, but not much. I-Ie is still the happy-go-lucky boy of yore.

1 DOROTHY MOECKEL- My fauorite flower is-Sweet William. STEPHANIE PAULO- A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent. WILLIAM GWERDER-- When thou are old, there's grief enough for thee. MITSUKA TADSUDA- Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying. HENRY ICHAMURI- And, I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that rise in me. IEleven1

Now I see a large oflice in the Elks' building. It is a new building which has just been built in Courtland. There is one large desk and at this Elmer Hinsdale sits. He is a very prominent lawyer. Even Judge Bunnell takes all of his cases to him. Many beautiful gardens appear now. All kinds of flowers are grown here, many beautiful shrubs and all kinds of trees. Among these stands Clinton Dean, a second Luther Burbank. Now I see the jungles of Africa. Many wild beasts, snakes and trees are here. We see a tall man capturing a tiger. Ah, I see his face, it is Paul Myers, an explorer known throughout the world. . The scene changes, Henry Ichimura is now seen teaching Latin in Japan. Now I see a pretty school house and in the door stands Gladys Smith. She has not changed any except she may look younger. Around the corner comes a Ford Coupe. A dark haired maiden is driving it. As soon as I see her I recognize Dorothy Moeckel. She is now a saleswoman for the Book of Knowledge. Her main advertisement is, 'If you buy these books you will never have to stay up all night the night before book reports are due. A drug store now appears and behind the counter you see Mitsuka Tadsuda, a famous pharmacist. Now I see a boat leaving the dock and on it I see Stephanie Paulo going as a missionary to a foreign country. A mist is gathering, I have only to tell you of yourself and I am through. Are you prepared? Oh yes. I cried, but as I did so I opened my eyes, being so excited, he vanished, and my future remained untold. lThirteen1
