SENIOR PROPHECY Since the earliest dates of history, it has been the custom of all people Of all nations to consult certain established and recognized authorities about future events. As the Class of 1928 sees our high school days drawing to a close, it is only natural that we should attempt in some way to find what the future holds for us. After long study and careful investigation of all authorities on future events, we have decided that by far the greatest and most reliable authority on such subjects in the widely known and highly respected Oracle of Apollo, located at Delphi. We accordingly left our daily tasks long enough to journey together to the great temple of wisdom and learn what the future had in store for each o-f us. We made the trip in a non-stop flight in our famous aeroplane The Spirit of the Senior Class. We marched before the Altar of Apollo and informed the Oracle that we desired to learn where each of us would be and what We would be doing thirty years from now. Behold! A vision came before our ey,es and we were amazed at what we saw. Through the marvelous power of the Oracle we were able to see the entire world as it will appear in the year 1958. Looking closely at the picture placed before our eyes we see ourselves and our classmates in all parts of the world and doing all kinds of work. First we see Ernest Gripe, our class president. He has gained considerably in weight since he quit playing basketball and nfow easily fills the chair of president of the Fur Trappers' Association in Hawaii. Kenneth Liebert has the job of polishing the moon so that it' will always shine. Vera Holmes is in Mulberry selling repair parts for hairpins and thumbtacks. This is such a prosperous business that she is thinking about ,establishing a series of chain stores. A ' We have studied in history about people spending their entire lives hunting for the fountain of youth, but we never heard anything like this: Hugh Bowman. has dis- covered a fountainf of hot soup in Florida. He built a large hotel which is known all over the world for the famus soup. - E L r l 5.
