CR.UX-HI-SKAN Class Prophecy, Senior HAVING often been declared by my class mates to have the power of prophecy, and the ability of looking into the future, 1 was chosen by them to write the Senior Class prophecy, and one day as I was pondering over their future, and was wishing them success in life, 1 suddenly and unexpectedly fell under the power of a spirit. It seemed to lead me toward a house at the front of which I found a guide, who told me that this was a house of mysteries. He also told me that if I should enter this house, I would find a message from each member of the Class of ’14, which had graduated from the Crooksville High School eight years before.

The house was beautifully furnished, and as I entered I noticed a number of telegrams lying on a table, which the guide told me to read. They were as follows: Columbus, O.—Four years ago today 1 graduated from the O. S. I’. I am now married to a beautiful young lndv, whom I met while in High School.
