htuldx- 3 Q 6 Tug.: TWH ANNUAL l .-.Q .a 'il-Y Doonf in-. Class Prophecy The Mysterious Scroll Several months ago I was visiting my cousin whose home is in the Adirondack Mountains. As the scenery is very beautiful in that locality, I decided to take a stroll. I started out, and as I had no definite route in mind, I walked along until I came to a little path. I turned down this path and followed it for a long distance. All of a sudden I heard a peal of thunder. I looked up and saw that a storm was upon me. I had been so busily preoccupied viewing the beautiful scenery around me that I had not noticed the approach of the coming storm. What was I to do? I looked ahead of me and was very much surprised to see a small log cabin about seventyffive yards away. It was raining very hard at this time and as the cabin ap' peared to be deserted I decided to take refuge there until the storm had passed. I ran to the cabin, opened the door and entered. Imagine my surprise! The cabin, which had appeared deserted from the outside, showed signs of recently being occupied. The cabin conf sisted of one small room with two small windows. A fireplace contained a few glowing embers over which hung a large, black kettle. On the mantel shelf were numerous jars and bottles of dried herbs, powders, brackish looking liquids and many other peculiar looking substances. Along one side of the wall were bunches of drying herbs and weeds. The furniture consisted of two rickety chairs and a roughly hewn square table. Cohwebs and dust gave the whole place a gruesome appearance. As I looked upon the table I noticed a large sheet of yellow paper which was covered with a peculiar scroll. I picked it up, looked at it awhile and discovered it to he Shorthand. I sat down on the sturdiest looking chair and started to transcribe it. Imagine my surprise when I made out the following: The indications for the futures of the members of the Class of 1931 of Creston High School are mostly successful although some of them are going to be failing successes. Ellen Carpenter, after serving four terms as the White House cook, and becoming acquainted with all State secrets, will aspire to become President of the United States and will be unanif mously elected.
