so we know the our class, Mabel fate which has befallen this member of our class. Of all has chosen the nicest home of all. Ilve figured and figured and figured Until I am weary and lame. But I decided, that in order to do This prophecy, I'd die game. I've used many reams of paper And a barrel or so of ink, And now my brains are frazzled And both eyes are on the blink. l've worked like a regular prophet Up till this very last night, And then I arrived at a decision So I hope the darned thing is right. But if the eternal critics This prophecy do contest, You'll still have to carve on my tombstone Here's one who did her best.

Style. Across the quaint doorway is a sign, Mme Beistelf' In one.of the beautifully decorated windows is a portrait of the proprietress, and it is easy to see which one of our girls this was. This scene now dissolves, and in its place comes one vastly different. A massive stone building, bearing the stamp of energy and prosperity on every side, rises before my eyes. Across the plate glass window, in gold letters, I can see the words, Hixson and Fretts, Contractors. Then a door of this fine building opens and two men come out, pass down the walk, and as they enter the waiting limousine, their faces are seen plainly for just an instant, and we recognize in them these two loyal classmates. Again the scene shifts, and this time it is the entrance to a large the- atre, and everywhere are Billboards which say, Tonight, only, the Famous Comediennef' VVho, I wonder, can this be? As if in answer to my ques- tion, the interior of the theatre is suddenly disclosed, and just as the curtain rises, who should appear on the stage but Myrtle Love. By the applause which she receives, we know that she is the wonderful comedienne herself. Once more, and this time we see a beautiful school house ,way out in the country. The door opens and as we look over the busy students, heads, we see the teacher-just as young looking as ever, and the mass of light hair soon identifies her as Burnetta Shirer. The love and adoration in the eyes of her pupils are evident proofs of her success. The fifth turn of the crystal takes us once again to the great city, this time, however, to a large new hospital. As the many people pass through the corridor, we see one, the matron, evidently, who goes from one place to another, always with that same quiet dignity. Then as she greets some newcomers, she smiles, and immediately we know her as one of our most popular girls, Elfa Hensel. just then the surgeon comes out to speak to her, and as he looks about the hall, we suddenly see a familiar glance, and recognize, as the man who holds this fine position, Earle Tedrow. Yet once more, and this time, we see a Telephone Exchange in a great city. Hundreds of girls are seated there, busily intent with their work, but among this throng, we see three familiar faces, they are those of Esther Carlson, Leona Berg, and Edna Vtfeitzel. Now, when this scene disappears, it is quite a long time before anything else comes, and I think, Surely this is not all I am to seef' Ah, it comes again! No wonder it took so long, for this time a scene is shown in Virginia, the sunny south. Here is a large Kindergarten School, and one of the finest instructors, we recognize as our old friend, Anna Belle. May her progress long continue. Back again, this time to the city of Pittsburgh, and here we find a fine new Lawyer's 'Office The sign reads, Nj. Neel Berg. Attorney at Law. Then the inner part of the office is shown, and we see Ruth NYilliams, work- ing busily with her Books of Original Entry. Over in another corner of the office, we hear the steady rattle of an Underwood, and almost before we see her face, we know that it must be Pearl Christner, for this quiet little member of our class surely shone when it came to operating one of these objects. just once again, and we see a beautiful Milliner's shop appear. As we look around, we see the proprietress, or as we knew her in former days, Miss Helen Martahus. Two salesladies are very busy with customers, for it is near the Easter season, and we soon lrecognize them as two of this wondrous class, May Rose and Grace Miller. As time passes, there appears a last picture. It is a beautiful country scene, and standing in the doorway of an ideal country home is one whom we quickly recognize as our old friend. Mabel Rosensteele. XYe can catch just a g earn of a naiiow gold band on the third tinge? of her left hand, and f Q - 0, ,,. J' .U ,G , ..... tt. .,.. .. n 1 -:nal
