V—- -'-.i.i ;L :h ■:.v' LA7TY T TTrr ) A A ■» Aab i ■■■■■■MB class Prophecy Imagine it is fifty yer.rs from now, and I n.m visiting the museum of Floyd, whicB has been erected as a memorial to the many celebrated citizens who onco made Flovd their homo. It contains, as its most cherished possessions, momontos of their doeds and works. Ovor the door is an inscription roading The Museum of Floyd . I enter and moving slowly around soe the following assortment of exhibits. In a glass case are a number of sheets from a newspaper. The heading is Advice to the Lovelorn , by Polly Pepper. She was Irma Jean, who had written the most famous syndicat- ed articles in this county. Shinning from a case arc silver and gold cups. Their inscriptions vary from, High running .unp at state trrek, to Winner of Olympic Games at Greece . The name then appears, Lostor Agee, world’s famous athlete, A card accompainied by some worn papers roads as fol- low's : The first bond •.ever sold by G. W., the greatest bond salesman of his day, A beautiful photograph of a spring scene—a meadow with willow trees and flowers in bloom attracts my atton-- tion. The card bears those words, by Tap , who won the international medal for tho best photographic study of nature. Tho sixth case contains old manuscript, in familiar handwriting. It is a poem, Kv Youth”, bv Nettie Bower. I find a strange collection, of a. nose ring, a feather tipped spear, and a woven gVhss basket. Unable to read any meaning in the articles I hastily glance at a sign and find them to be rementos of James, Opal and Dorthy H. who have been missionaries to the CannibAl Islands. The next case contains a diver's suit and an oxygon tank, I find this to be tho suit worn by Rodolph whon he rescued tho men trapped on a Submarine. R. J. was the heroic captain who stood much hardship, but was well rewarded by his outstanding accomplishments.
