[TASS HoRoscopp Having for sometime been possessed with desire of knowing the future experiences of the members of our class, I decided to go to a renowned astrologer who is a friend of mine. I beseeched him to cast the horoscope and read the signs of the heavens which would unveil the shadows of the future. He considers the prophecy of the horoscope to be excellent, but it also contains some unfavorable aspects. Therefore it behooves us to be prepared for the threatening conditions. When it was decreed in 1948 that the future class of 1953 was to be born into Virgo. The sun in Virgo makes its ga@ives P@ssessed of many desirable and great characteristics. They are industrious gaeevery ient clerical workers. They: usually accomplish whatever they set out to show laboriqus the job is.

Sculptors, painters and musicians are often found among these natives. Decorating and designing in all branches are suitable professions for a Libran. Among America’s greatest artists there will be Martha Wimbush and Roy Perry. Since Daisy Johnson and Lorraine Meadows have thought of becoming sculptors, I am sure they will succeed. James Withers and Charles Harris will be great painters. Playing the sweetest music this side of heaven will be Melvin Griffin and Leslie Ross. Beautifying the homes will be Chloteal Steptoe and Hazel Bass as interior decorators. Fashion designers
