THE TATTLER SENIOR CLASS PROPHEC Y I was drowsy last night and as I sat in a big arm chair, I was rtartled when a tiny mouse ran across the floor. I abstractedly watched it run back and forth and tl1en I noticed it was caught in the meshes of some fine silk threads. The threads led from under the bookcase and as I pulled them, a slim, dainty little leather bound book fell off the bottom shelf. The title in wee gold letters read, Hlllustrious Class of 1923, D. C. H. S. I glanced inside, On the fiyleaf was written Find a Way or Make One. It was our class motto. Then the story opened:- CHAPTER I A great day in the annals of the U. S.! A day of days! A man of the people has been unanimously elected to till the Presi- Fency of this great Republic. A man who hails from the grand old state of Indiana. To him belongs the honor of being the Hrst man in the U. S. to be elected unanimously after George Washing- ton. The great man is Aloysins Schneider, a former resident of Decatur, Indiana. After graduating from Decatur Catholic School, he became a very efficient student at Yale University. After taking post-graduate work at the Catholic University of America, he be- came Professor of English at Vassar and lost his prestige to the young ladies of that institution by his splendid ironical allusions, the absurdity of the existence of any feminine sway in the home. After leaving Vassar he became one of the leading lawyers of Bobo and ran for Congress on the Light Wine ticket. He was elected by a great majority. His record in Congress was noteworthy, for he passed two important bills: The Abolition of 'Theme Writing in Schools and the One Hour a Day School Law. As one of the Judges of the Supreme Court he became famous in declaring once and forever that Mutt is a great deal older than Jeff. Today he is President of the United States and after his retirement into private life he will be enormously rich for it is said that he is financing a factory in Alaska for the manufacture of Eskimo pies. CHAPTER II At last a woman composer has arisen whose genius has stirred the musical worldfa genius who surpasses the mighty Mozart, Hay- den, and Bach of the past. She is a mere slip of a woman from that famous old Hoosier state of artists and poets, Indiana. Her life story is interesting. After graduating from D. C. H, S. with the class of 1923, she entered Bush Conservatory at Chicago and graduated from there with high honors. After eight years of study abroad under the great Paderewski, she made her debut in New York City and took the musical world by the ears with her splendid piano technique. Her first composition D, C. H. S. March marked a new epoch in musical compositions. At present she is in Berlin and it it is rumored that a son of the late Kaiser Wilhelm is suing for her hand. But Miss Niblick's heart is in America and she is reported engaged to Maximus Voce, the world's greatest tenor. The last visit she paid to her home town was in 1936 and she was welcomed by the G. E. Band and the Rotary Club and all the school children of the town. Her career is not at its zenith and greater success lies in store for the greatest musician of our times. CHAPTER III XVhenever you chance to visit any of the foremost cities of the United States you will be attracted by clean, well lighted restau- rants bearing the one name Appleman's across the huge plate glass window. This string of restaurants that reaches from coast to coast had its start back in Decatur, Indiana. Andrew Appleman,
