Far back in the ages there was a time when people believed that fairies left messages for mortals. These prophecies were magically written on the petals of flowers. Few people will agree with me when I say we think this today. No, we do not believe in all kinds of fairies; but we know that such fairies as good will, faith, love and courtesy exist, especially in the Senior Class. The members of the graduating Class of ’24 expectantly hope that some good fairy has left for 11s tonight a written message of the future. (Mascot enters with daisy.) We believe in this beautiful theory because someone whom we love very much has brought us one of these magic flowers. This flower has survived through all hardships and withstood all kinds of weather for four long years, and tonight it is brought to us as fresh and beautiful as if this was the begin¬ ning of its life in the world. Let us see if we will find our prophecies on the petals of this daisy. Nannie Gray—The fairy says that Nannie will live on a plantation and her husband will be very successful.
