two girls were discussing one of their former classmates, Emma Ledbetter. lt seemed that Emma had founded a home for Blondes, their chief aim being to get their men and then keep them. Lewis Crawley, John Monoghan, Charlie McBennett and Andrew Motz were in vaudeville taking the Marx Brothers place as the Curley Headed Heart-breakers of Broadway. Upon the scene walks John Pope the children's favorite author of animal stories. In the city of Chicago was Snookie Tew and D. T. Perry. They were clowning as black face comedians and they were just as popular as Amos 'n Andy or the Two Black Crows. ' Traveling West I hit Hollywood and starring in High School Days, were Elizabeth Herndon and Milton Holmes. The director was Orva Perkins, the make- up man, Steve Barden. In one of the added attractions Harry and Raymond Stein did a novelty act of singing and dancing. Right in the heart of Hollywood I found the cutest little soda fountain. Imagine my utter surprise to find Dorothy Hurley and Frances Melvin jerking soda there. On another lot in Hollywood, a college picture was i11 swing. James Wilson was starred as the football hero who had just made a 75 yard dash to victory and had found Isabel Tillinghast, the heroine, waiting for him. The cheer leaders were James Thompson and Reed DeVane. Next I saw Washington City and I could not help but wonder who I would see there, I did not Wonder long before coming down the steps of the White House was Thomas Whitaker, our president. In the town section I saw more signs of Washington's having drawn the home crowd. Taking letters from George Poole, a contractor, was Zelenka J ones. In the adjoining room 'was Louise Bullard, the fastest girl typist in the world. In the streets every one was buying extras. Eileen Cassidy had just completed a solo flight around the world. And now I was brought back to dear old Fayetteville. Oliver Culbreth had just been elected mayor. A familiar building came in sight. It was F. H. S. There I found Lillian Coates teaching Latin. Running a hat shop in the old town was Martha Smith. Her hats were quite the rage. Ola Hubbard had started a cafeteria and Ethel Eleischman was helping her. But now the crystal began to dull and I could see no more. The rain was still beating on the window and I closed my eyes, happy and at peace with the world. DOROTHY MELVIN. Twenty-one

Class Prophecy IDARTED out of the little dingy store and hurried home. I tightly grasped the little bundle that was in my hands. When I reached home, I unwrapped the package and placed its contents on the table. It was an old crystal that I had bought a few minutes before. It was a dark night. The rain was beating on the window panes. Just the night for reminiscing. I would use this crystal to see what my classmates of by-gone days were doing. As I -gazed into the crystal I saw a large automobile draw up in front of a brick building, and from the car a boy and girl emerged. They went into the building and I recognized Dorothy Patterson and Garrett J ones. The former had become a noted singer and Garrett accompanied her. The building and people faded away and I was taken to a gaily lighted night club, The Golden Goose. The hostess, Pauline Andrews, in a long black lace dress was coming forward to meet two arrivals who happened to be Don Armfield and his fiancee, Aileen Bowles. A sudden glare of lights blinded me for a moment, then out into the spot light danced four girls, Edith Tolar, Mary Ellis, Dorothy Wheeler and Isabel Croom. Slowly the scenery of the night club vanished and I recognized Wall Street. Glancing into the stock exchange window I saw Charles Clark excitedly watching the ticker. Beside him was Tom Cousar who was deciding whether to end it all or take another chance. Then I was taken away to another scene of great interest. I saw a beautiful river with gondolas gliding about upon it. Stepping into one were three girls that were familiar to me and as they turned to speak to the boatman I saw Rena Dupree, Mary Crawford and Mary Peace. The boatman was William Price. Where there's Peace there's Price. I gazed intently into the crystal and suddenly huge pyramids loomed in the dis- tance. I beheld two figures flying up and down them. As they came closer I saw James McLeod chasing Earl Dunlop because the latter had stolen one of the former's wives. Earl and James each have a harem. I was then taken to one of the castles and before my eyes I saw a group of young girls with veils over their faces. In the group were Anna Woodhouse, Cleo Brown and Edith Adams. Then the Scenery changed and I was once again in America. Some kind of party was in swing and uniforms were everywhere. Of course they were C. M. T. C.'s and Margaret Rayner was their oflicial hostess. And then will you believe me I saw La Motte King, a dignified judge, and he was trying a case,-that of Williamson vs. Williamson. The former Ann Gaster was suing Ed. Williamson for a divorce. Who would have thought things would go that far. A smart dress shop came in sight. It was owned by Flora Harris and she had as her mannequins Joe Underwood and Fanny Bullard, the two inseparables. Those viewing the styles were Kindley Davis, the successful author of Getting There and Virginia Crowder, a very popular chorus girl in a road show. The Twenty
