Z . if -V a,,u', Senior Class Prophecy. Ah! It has indeed been many years since I embarked upon the Sea of Life, leaving my college days behind me, to wrestle with the world and with- stand it's trials and tribulations. But such is every HIHHIS lot in life, so I, like others, had to begin my task and face the cares and worries of life. Having retired from business, with very little to trouble my mind, I naturally wished to know the success of my fellow classmates at G. M. C. Many cities and countries had I visited in hopes of procuring a little infor- mation concerning their careers, but thus far my efforts had been in vain. i I was sitting on the piazza of my hotel in Calcutta. conversing with my guide, when my eyes beheld the most curious human being tif he can be so calledl I had ever seen. My guide, seeing my curiosity. ventured to en- lighten me concerning this odd specimen of man. That is the wonderful Men-Kaura, Sahib. Have you not heard of the great feats he has accomplished with his crystal sphere? The guide showed no little surprise when I confessed I had never met this noted sage and man of wonders. t'Ah then sahib, you must do so at OIICG, we will visit his establishment this afternoon: for perhaps he can give you the information you desire re- garding your classmates. At four o'clock. we entered this strange creature's abode. My guide spoke several words to him, he nodded his head in assent, and conducted us into a small room. The room was draped with curtains of fantastic color. It was lighted with green lights which produced a weird effect upon us making cold chills run down our spines. I composed myself however, by stroking my whiskers. and was ready to meet any onslaught that might take place. Men-Kaura then drew back a curtain and there resting before my eyes was a large, shining. transparent ball as clear as crystal. 'fAnd what does the sahib wish to know?', asked Men-Kaura to my guide in a thunderous voice that caused a peculiar sensation in the bottom of my stomach. f'He wishes, Wise Sage, to know the success his classmates at G. M. C., have attained in lifef, Men-Kaura nodded his head again. and, turning toward the crystal ball, made many mystic signs, and spoke in low tones that were indistinguishable to the ear. Suddenly! A bright red flame loomed before my eyes: Men-Kaura bf- I l I F 4 1 1 I '

...JM x ' V I l '. ' .LEJ tf.'a'. ' ,. I xy N tl- f Members of our class have done unusually well in the Military Depart- ment of the College. Even in our Junior year. we had among our number four commissioned officers. as well as many non-commissioned ofhcers. To these and to all who have this year excelled we wish to express our pleasure in having had as our class-mates, officers and non-commissioned officers who have always discharged their duties in a manner most commendable. who by their devotion and faithfulness to duty. as well as by their kindness. have won our hearts. In the College Athletics. our class has made a very creditable showing. and we are proud of the fact that we have been so well represented in the various forms of play. Our members have shown that they were not only in perfect condition. but also that they possessed superb physiques. They have exhibited skill in the games in which they have participated. We feel that the praise that has been theirs is ours also. for they have always been devoted to their class. In the future, we wish for them the greatest success possible, and hope that they will always be praised as they have here. for their skill- fulness of play and cleanliness of sportmanship. History usually includes the leaders of great causes that have affected mankind, and whose great deeds have been told from one generation to an- other. until now we have a valuable record that tells us of their valiant deeds. In our history of the Senior Class we wish to tell of our feeling of admira- tion, and we must say. appreciation of the ceaseless and untiring efforts of our leaders. who by their inexhaustible patience. by their cheering smiles and by their guiding leadership have lead us over the dilhcult spots of our col- lege career. It is with deep gratitude and increasing admiration that we refer to our leaders. the instructors. and say to them they have our heartfelt thanks. We wish them to know that it is our purpose to so live that their efforts will not have been in vain. To the girls of our class, the cadets wish to express their great pleasure i11 having had them as classmates. classmates who by their continued faith- fulness and devotion to duty. by their kindness. by their nobleness and by their love have entirely won the heart of every boy. We hope that the spirit that has moved us on so many occasions, the spirit of knowledge. of truth. of righteousness. the spirit that will win success and happiness in the world. will always be the spirit of dear old G. M. C., and that it will thus continue to instill itself in the hearts of American man- hood and womanhood. If this hope be realized, then C. M. C.. the school of our hearts. will continue to prosper as she has in the past. Then there will be a cleaner manhood. a purer womanhood and a greater America. W. M.
