The Lion SOPHOMORE PROPHECY AS we stood, talking of old times, an extremely large woman came toward us. She held two small children by the hand, and herded three others before her. As she passed, she smiled and spoke. We looked at each other in amazement. It It was Christine Chancellor Summerford! Poor Stanley! So that is why he had to remain on the farm- A BRUPTLY my conversation ended: I found myself entering a large hospital. The head nurse, Onita Jackso::, greeted me, and said that she wanted me to meet Doctor Criswell. The doctor introduced me to Interne Woodraw Stewart. Woodrow introduced me to Mrs. Stewart (Evelyn Moore), who took me around to see the following patients: Clayton Davis, heart-broken because Mildred had ■married another man; Hilda Bane, who finally had to break down from too much studv; Richard Adams, who could not stand the separation from Porterville; J. H . Hardin, who froze nearly to death in the building that he was supposed to be firing; Frank Sparkman, who pitched his arm completely out of place; and Ernest McLaurin, who tried to become a pilot, and evidently could not- The last scene of my dream seemed to have been many years later than the first. TT seemed that there was a reunion of the alumni of E. M. J. C. of ' 34 at the new A. stadium. I was surrounded by some more bachelors; James Anderson, James Thompson, Arbey Maxie, Arnold Parham, Henry Morgan, and Bunk Hardin. The latter making a speech. Like all politicians, he gave a very lengthy talk. ' PHE students were having a very exciting basket ball game. I noticed Rudy, playing even better than usual, and remarked upon it to Bunk, who replied Boy, you must be crazy to think that Rudy is still that young! That is his son! And sure enough, when I looked down on the bench, there sat Rudy, be- tween Tad and Nic. Tad ' s son Hal (Bund continued) was not quite old enough to play on the College team, but he would soon be a star player. Nic was just Uncle Nic, who lived out on his farm, and raised bird dogs- f NOTICED that George Vaughn and Kirkpatrick were friends with Red Frost and Sam Agnew, even after their great debate over which was the most im- portant, Amory or Baldwyn, Red still had a few scars left from the fight that incurred from the debate, but he did not seem to resent it. They, all four, stood buying hamburgers from Owen Evans, and Castleman Fuqua. Nance Hull stood, waiting impatiently for Mrs. Hull (Bees) who was late as usual. C ' VELYN Eley and Maurice Christopher both came in. They were both still single, as they had had too many opportunities, and could not decide whom to marry. A S the game progressed, I noticed some teachers entering- Bunk identified them for me. The first to come in was Edward Wallace, who (Bunk said) has stepped into the shoes of his father. Next was Ethel Wallace, who has taken Mrs. Thomas ' place. Then came Rubel Cowart, who was carrying out the theories of Mr. Jones. Following him, was Honor Maze Hones, wdio is following in the foot- steps of Mrs- Neely. Last, came Eva Daniels and Iola Moore, who are taking the places of Mrs. Mayson, and Miss Edwards, respectively. The buzzer buzzed. TT was time for lunch, the last meal at the dormitory, and the boys were all going over. I walked over as far as the dormitory with them, and went on to town Page Tweny-Four
