Senior Class Prophecy ' OR weeks I have pondered day and night trying to get a vision of the future. Some class prophets say that fairies come and tell them what they want to know. No fairy has come to me. Now almost in desperation, as it is time for the Galax to go to press, I have decided to write a letter to one of my classmates— such a one as I may write twenty years from now. With this explanation, here is the letter. Kobe, Japan, May 1, 1930. My Dear Kitty: To others you are Miss Katharine Wells York, but to me you are the same dear Kitty and I can use no other name in addressing you. I don ' t know how you feel about it but I like very much to hear my given name— it has been a long time since I have, however. At last that long looked for class letter has reached me and now it is time for you to have it. Two days ago I re- ceived it to my surprise for long ago I had given up the hope of ever seeing it. When Bess received it she quickly v rote her letter and sent the ten letters to me. She is anxious I guess that it may get around before the twenty years since we separated has expired. No doubt you will laugh at some of the letters, as I did, for they are so old and things have changed so much since some of them were written. The letter from Bess is just as sweet and refreshing as can be. Isn ' t it wonderful how she is managing those Randolph-Macon girls ? You know she always did like Latin and her aim seemed to be to teach some day. Poor Hal — I know he must have been disap- pointed when she refused to marry him. It seems strange that she should have acted as she did, but I guess she felt that she could serve others better if she led a single life. She is certainly making a success from what I learn. Who knows but that she may yet take up a new field of responsi- bility ? She is not so old after all; the last picture I saw of her she really looked young. Please, dear, when you write, tell me what you know and think about her now for I feel
