■ The Lion SOPHOMORE PROPHECY TT WILL always be a mystery to me how I could have fallen asleep, surrounded, as I was, by the noise and fuss of the boys getting ready to go home. T HE last exam, was over, many had already said goodbye, and now I lay on the bunk in Nic ' s room, watching their unique methods of packing. An old foot- ball jersy was packed carefully away, while the other suit was crammed un- ceremoniously among other odds and ends. DELMONT came in, the old blue bathrobe held tenderly in his arms, heart-broken ■ over the necessity of having to trade this beloved garment for a pair of socks. As he was trying to make the trade with Nic, I knew that no socks were available. While George Vaughn tried in vain to explain to Nic what socks were, I wondered idly, just what the future held for these care-free sophomores. 1 fell asleep, and in my dream — : TT seemed that T was a guest at the magnifieient church wedding of Mary Dale and James Windham- • Bible in hand, behind the altar, stood Reverend Hailey. Standing majestically at the altar, awaiting his bride, stood James. AS the ceremony progressed, I looked around me. I noticed Wayne Woods, Joe ■ Neal,, and Fletcher Drewry ushering tardy guests to their places. Besides me sat Curtis Stewart with his small niece and nephew, Josephine and Herbert. He explained to me how Joe Neal had become very famous as Dean of Women at an outstanding girls school- He went on to say that Drewry had returned to good old Alabama, where he was leading a pleasant uneventful bachelor ' s life.

T OOTBALL seemed well represented, as our bride was cheer leader, and she was accompanied by Ooaoh Little. Behind the altar, was discovered the orches- tra. Amidst the lillies, and soft candle light, baton in hand, stood Professor Mc- Clain, leading the band in an accompaniment of Mary Frances Rush ' s captivating renderence of ' ' Our Boys will shave To-night- THE scene shifted: I found myself entering the Woods-Weaver Studio. When ■ - I reached the door, Ella Frances greeted me, saying that she and Bobby were celebrating the change of the name to the Weaver Studio. CHE introduced to me respectively: Son Weaver, assistant house-keeper-to-be: The Young Sisters, now famous on the International Broadcasting Company; Pete Reeves, graceful vaudeville dancer; Senator Boyd (Olga); tennis champion, Walter Carter; author, Glennie Mae Taylor; blues singer, Lauvergne Temple; Charles Montgomery and Woodrow Hare, owners of the Montgomery Hare Blue Line Grocery Stores; Ray Wedgeworth, the second Lindbergh; and last, but not least, the reporter of the event Christine Key- Son was serving cocktails. A GAIN the scene shifted: It seemed that 1 was standing on a street corner, - - talking to lawyer Bichardson, whose black hair was streaked with grey. This did not seem strange to me, however, as my own hair was white- Do you remember Mary Perkins? ' ' Lawyer Richardson asked. Why, yes, ' ' I replied, ' I do- ' ' Well I am handling a breach of promise suit for her. She is suing Horace Gris- som. (Continued) Page Tweniy-Three
