to the ministry his graceful and easy bearing are especially adapted to the art of danc- ing. In short, he is going to be much sought after in social circles. Banks is to become a professional dancing master. When I ]iicked up the sixth stone, a funny object dolefully uttered. There is a young lady in your class who wants to love and be loved. Kindly tell her, please, that she will realize sooner or later, to her chagrin, that her love is wasted on Jabez. His is only a school flirtation, a passing fancy, and his true love will prove to he a lovely Monde, his own age. Instead of being happily mated, as her fond dreams suggest, Nellie Fleming will one day he walking the streets, earnestly pleading with the people to help the poor by buying some of her extracts and perfumes. The seventh slowly got to his feet and drily drawled. Shortly, Surratl will have found his ideal ' Suavis, ' who will he delighted with her ' Shine on, Suavis. ' As you know, his best days have already been spent in preparing for life. So even ten years from graduation he will have retired from his professional field, ' Anio-chology ' . Then up stepped another little fairy from underneath a stone, merrily singing out, that Pearl Tuck will marry a farmer and live happily, her husband dying one month afterwards. Do not think that her young life will be blighted. To the con- trary, she will undertake her old trade — flirting, becoming a young, merry widow of forty-five. I picked up yet another stone. A peculiar being whispered, Although Hen Joe Ear]) has been awarded no certificate in Expression, yet his hours spent in studying Elocution have been by no means a loss, for instead of becoming a gallant society dude, as one would imagine him callable of, lie is to become a famous theatrical manager. For instance, his troupe will be presenting some of Shakespeare ' s most popular pro- duction- a- early as the season 1920, at the largest, most up to date playhouse in America. Still another elf was found under an oddly shaped rock. It said. Virgie Real, the runt of the class, will become still runtier with years. If followed in her career she will be found to ripen into a sweet old lady, who spent her early life among her rela- tives, teaching their young daughters how to bewitch the fellow-. A few steps from the stone upturned last was another. 1 peeped under it and these words came from a tiny withered mouth. Elon ' s best known athlete, Staley Wicker, champion in basketball and baseball, after -living as coach at F. X. ( ' . will leave for New York. There he will he manager of the New York National League, composed of such fellows a- Willie Cotton. Hobbs, Marmaduke Woodward, and Stirling Love, loyal Elonites. The last and nio-t weird in appearance of all the dozen elves kindly told me that I was doomed to be a spinster. My life would be devoted to downtrodden womanhood, and all efforts of mine would he crowned at last with victory for the suffragettes. Unreasonable, do you say? h can be easily accounted for. Since I was supposed to he the prophet, my mind was naturally burdened with the future of the illustrious dozen of the Class of 1913. All thoughts wen closely riveted upon that one great theme. So was it remarkable that such abnormal impressions should occur to mi ' ? Tin-: Prophet.

Senior Prophecy ' Twas a first Sunday. An acquaintance of Elon College knows what that means. For the benefit of others, however, let me add that on those days the fair co-eds of Elon are at liberty to exercise all the feminine wishes and caprices at their command, from three to five in the afternoon. Was I unfortunate? Anyway no card bearing Miss Fogleman made its appearance. Disappointed, heartsick, I groped my way to a nearby wood, through which rippled a clear, sparkling brook. Seated on a large rock, while unconsciously humming O Lovely Dream, I carelessly tossed a stone into the water. The richest, fullest, most beautiful melody reached my cars, Oh, maid in despair, If you but care To hear, while you ' re alone, The prophecy of the Senior Class Just look under each stone. Obeying the impulse, I looked about me. What could lie more remarkable? There were twelve old stones arranged in a graceful group. On picking up the one nearest me a tiny elf hopped to his feet. One of your classmates has shown some ability this year as an editor, piped a little voice. His capabilities are as yet unde- veloped. Still, just a few short years, and Hook will dazzle the minds of his friends by putting out a periodical far eclipsing the Literary Digest. The second little body, a counterpart of the first, said: Janie Lee Beale, the musician of your class, on July 14, 1918, will return to her native State. She will have studied music under the very best teachers in Germany. Her study will be trying, and instead of the Janie Lee you have known, her friends will find her much smaller, somewhat stooped — a nervous wreck. Of course this made me sad. My expression changed, and the change was noticed. The little figure continued, Your classmate ' s health will return, however, and she will render her Alma Mater valuable service by drumming the rudiments of vocal and instrumental music into the brains of the bone- heads she will gather there from over the South. The third little fellow began, One of your classmates has a bright future before him. He is a g 1 student and one of Elon ' s best athletes. Yet his greatness will depend neither upon literary nor athletic achievements. The whole nation will one day be astounded when he shows his ability as a singing evangelist. In fact Rand is going to figure largely in a spiritual revolution, which will sweep over America ten years hence. Picking up the next stone the fourth elf blurted out, Viola Frazier, the very willing mail carrier, will, a few years after leaving school, set her affectionate heart upon a long, lean, lank school teacher, and the two will wed and live happily ever after. A boarding school will be conducted by the two, in the Valley of Virginia. Here ' s hoping Viola won ' t lie a Mrs. Squeer, thought I. The fifth figure was much awake and rattled off, The sleeping divine is going to wake up, stretch, rub his eyes, and will find to his surprise that instead of being called
