THE ENFIELD ECHO 25 CLASS PROPHECY By Cardice Abrahamson and Raymond Chouinard Year 1935. One day when taking a trip in my hydroplane, I met an old friend, Raymond Chouinard. He said he thought my machine a very beautiful one. whereupon 1 invited him for a ride. W e rode for hours over hills and vales, mountains and sea, hardly conscious of where we were going. We talked of bye-gone days at old Enfield, the happy hours we spent there, the trials and tribulations of exams, and of the present whereabouts of our classmates. Unconsciously the hours passed. My machine started to give me trouble, and upon investigation 1 found my gasoline almost gone. For- tunately we sighted a lone island below us. We descended and thought it to be uninhabited. W e were distracted, for what could we do—alone, no gas, no food. Raymond had many talents, but he could not make gasoline. To our horror and astonishment we heard the bushes near us move, and there we beheld an old woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothing. I tried not to appear frightened when 1 heard Raymond’s calm, deep voice ask where we could get some gasoline. She had never seen a plane before and was very much scared at first and thought us to be demons. W e soon convinced her of our misfortune and our sincerity. We told her if we had gasoline we would give her a ride. Her haggard face brightened and before long she struck a rock in a nearby bill and a liquid jotted forth. Whether or not it was gasoline I never knew, but it did the work. Needless to say, the old woman enjoyed her novel experi- ence in the machine and in gratitude begged us to partake of her supper. While we were eating, she told us she was Queen of the Imps. At her bidding the imps that infected the people of the world could be re- called home and stay with her, for all human beings, no matter how good or bad. have imps within them. “Perhaps you have friends of whom you would like to know,” she said. “If so, just give their names and I will send a messenger and recall them within a few minutes. They will tell you the whereabouts of the persons with whom they associate.” We were very happy and gave the names of all our classmates. During the late evening we heard a peculiar rushing among the trees and soon we were surrounded by little people. The imps of our class- mates ! They were queer-looking people, but seemed very kindly inclined toward us and in a chorus they clamored for a ride. We promised to take them, and eagerly they raced ahead of us. It was a queer sight to see the 53 of them on top, hanging to wings and clinging to the various available parts, crying for us to hurry. During the trip, the various imps started to impart to us the knowl- edge we so eagerly desired, and if you will listen, my friends, you will hear of the wondrous news we have to tell.
