Edwina Adams has just announced that she has bought uThe New York Timesn for a plaything. She also owns the most reliable paper in the world, the Dansville Breeze, whose editor is Helen Stoner. Cur thoughts turn to France. Whom do we see there but Albert Mayer, who is engaged in painting a landscape, for the Louvre a Paris. Very Frenchy, n'est-ce pas? Mary Huber is acting as matron of an old ladies' home. She seems to have quite a bit of trouble with one of the inmates there, Mary Morris. We are now introduced to the very business-like president of the Social Uplifc of the slums of New York. After regarding her a little closer, we recognize her as Margaret Reilly, our Patsy.,' Annabelle Vaughan is one of the wildest of New York debutantes. And was her coming-out party a wow! We have just seen an essay recently written by 4iDode Young, one of the country,s leading naturalists. Upon reading the essay, we find it concerns the wild flower and its component parts. Marion Blake, an Evangelist, is now taking the place of Amie Semple. Of all wonders, we find Markie,' Bradley taking the place of Mrs. Purchase in dear old D.C.H.S. teaching umathf, How goes it, Markie',? George Palmgreen, another noted mathematician, has just advanced a law for finding the cube root of a number. I wonder if our former teacher of mathematics knows this. Robert Pauline, Helen Rauber, and John Sutton have opened a fash- ionable beauty shop for cats, kids, and dogs. uVin Whiteman, oil magnate, has discovered oil in a crooked poli- tician's line. Next, we get a glimpse of Edith Campbell, a dancer in NSY' Gilman's cabaret. What a crowd she draws. Suddenly, we became acutely conscious of the fact that we were fall- ing, so we opened the door of our aluminum ball and made a spectacular parachute jump. Upon reaching the earth, we found that we had not only caught an accurate glimpse of the future, but had also broken all previous records for altitude, and for the parachute jump.

Class Prophecy THE day was smoky with heat. As we climbed into our aluminum ball, we remarked that it would be an ideal day to get the altitude record. Someone set off the rockets attached to the car, and we were catapulted into the air. We went up and up, the air grew thinner and thinner. In our semi-conscious state, the future passed before us. A figure loomed larger. It was Odell Scott, standing in the midst of a large crowd, wildly explaining his theory of Bolshevism, while the crowd enthusiastically threw caps, bricks, flowers, and cabbages into the air, and the policemen, John Kelly among them, chewed their night clubs in despair. A huge hangar appeared, bearing the sign, g'Nagle and Moose, Femi- nine Flyers Fxtraordinaryf' They guarantee thrills, but not safety. Next, we saw 6'Katie', McCovick tearfully pleading the case of Helen McLane, who had thrown her newly published play at her conservative and meek husband, Chester Mader. These pictures had scarcely faded, when a hundred-story building ap- peared. On the Hrst seventy stories were the names of Lawrence 81 Laven, Inc. Our former classmates had gained world-wide recognition as interior decorators. On top of this huge building, we saw uDottie,' Clements, who had been sitting there since the year after she graduated. She had climbed there to obtain privacy from her newspaper critics. Florence Eich is mayor of Conesus. Occasionally, she visits the town jail, where are lodged those terrible hoboes, Alice Fedder and Helen Griffin. Shirle Moose, now an eminent scientist, has discovered lar e uantities ,Y 1 s q of gas in gossip. -Hurrah for '6Sherry.,' Our baseball star in D.C.H.S., William Dilgard, is now the owner, shortstop, and catcher of that world winning team, the St. Louis Blue Sox. A member of our class is residing in England. Guess who? Cletus Fries. He is professor of languages there at Oxford University. Laura Maginley, our French student, is arguing with a French woman over the price of lettuce. We don't know whether it's her French or not, but nevertheless, she's winning. The Romeo of our class, Dick Reilly, is now in the movies, playing opposite Greta Garbo. ' 15
