PROPHECY ' While reclining in my easy arm chair in my oflice, I notice the headlines on yesterday's paper reading Suffra- gette Elected for President. It marks the close of a spirited presidential campaign. I read further down and see that she is Miss Ruth C. Wilson, Wilson, Ruth Wil- son: Somehow this name seems familiar. It recalls the fact that we have already had one President Wilson, ah, yes, I have it! She is none other than my former class- mate, Ruth C. Wilson. Ah, how well do I remember that I ridiculed her idea of women voting, much less the idea of their holding the presidency. ' The idea of her being a class-mate of mine. Surely, I have one class-mate who has made her mark. Cne, did I say one? Well perhaps more than one. Quite recently I noticed that Dr. J. D. West had per- formed the famous Edward Ease operation on the French President. It was even in a French newspaper that I got this news. And he, too, is a former class-mate of mine. And what has become of Annie Ruth Joyner, the one to whom Dr. West became so attached? Why she is still with him, preferring married life to single blessedness. These two, known in school as Jiggs and Maggie, are administering to the needs of suffering humanity. Mrs. West is head nurse in the Ontario Hospital of New York City, where Dr. West enjoys a flourishing practice. And there, in the same city, Ray H. West and Richard Richardson operate and own the Metropolitan Drug Com- pany. This building is theirs thru sheer merit as the tremendous business which they do is surely merited. They started in a modest building but their business knew no bounds. Soon they erected the building in which they now operate. It consists of twelve stories, ten of which are rented as offices. May the practice which they have already enjoyed be theirs in the future. While spending her vacation in Kinston, N. C., Mabel Massengille became very attached to Franklin Munson, 50

of Washington, D. C. He also became firmly attached to her, so the two became as one. Here Cin Washingtonl the two reside today. The home-life of this couple is ideal. They have one son, Kenneth, who is just starting to school. Munson is an oil magnate who has made his fortune in clever investments. It seems that there were eight in my class. Where can the other one be, and who is she? Of course, it was Lucile Howard, the one who used to have so many suitors. And which of these finally won her heart? Yes, 'yes, it was Leslie Sermons. They have a beautiful country home where they live alone in perfect happiness. Lucile preferred this, to living in a city where the noise and dis- order would certainly have caused her much annoyance. As for my own fate you may guess at it. Suffice it to say I am in my ofliceg you may guess what my profession may be. I might tell you but I had rather you would live on guesses, as to this at least. ' JAMES T. PATE, '20. Jasper West went up to Kinston a dentist's oflice to have his teeth filled. The dentist put some air in his tooth and said: Did you feel that air ? Jasper: That air what ? Mable: I hope to kiss a pig. Jasper: Well, here's the pig. Miss Leard: What kind of a husband would you ad- vise me to get ? Annie Ruth: You get a single man and let the hush bands alone. They say corporations have no souls. How about the Shoe Trust? H 51
