beckoned to us. I drew close to him. and bending my head low gazed with open mouth and wondering eyes upon the scene before me. There standing before me was our class president. J. Berner Tingle, who. with beaming vgun. tenance and bright smiles. introduced to us Lovick Alfriend. one of our most beloved students. L. P. ALFRIEND: Lovick. having a natural bent for physics, has made it his life work. After much research and hard labor, he has published a book entitled. Why Bivers Do Not Flow liphillfi It is a very interesting book Iso he says! and is sold for the nominal sum of ten cents. He is now labors ing upon the unaccountable phenomina. Why the U. S. Went Dry. tVl'e sincerely hope he can lind the root of evil and remedy ith. BANKS. O. O.: Olin is now a professional boxer. having been tutored by Battling Minns.

BENNETT: Lawrence. tcontrary to popular opinionl. has achieved a great name and high social position in Africa. It is said he has been seen with the noted African chief Colash. and has often paid calls upon his daugh- ter, Dinah. who is desperately in love with him. He is commander-in-chief of the kings army. having defeated one squad of the Abyssinians with only 1000 men. It was a remarkable victory. B. H. BETTS: Robert is still running the ladies wild just like he used to when he was at G. M. C. He is married and has eight children. Not all are his however: for the third time he married he married a widow with live children. He has been very successful in business, each of his wives having been worth at least a half million. H. L. BRYAN: Harold is now an advertising agent for E. E. Bell Dry Goods Store. His mode of advertising is unique. His special line is ladies' ready-to-wear clothing.

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 '

He speaks seven lan- guages and twelve dialects. Next year he is considering teaching Chinese to the Ethiopians of South Africa. We prophesy a great success for him, for we all knew Bill well at school. C. P. GLEATON: Gleaton is now teaching physics and rhetoric in the university of Mongolia. Before he became a professor, he tried the experi- ment of 'iraising hell in Siberia in order to increase the temperature sev- eral degrees, but we are sorry to say he was taken for a bolshevik and con- sequently had to abandon this noble idea. We sincerely hope he will be able to complete this work in years to come. BENNETT CILMORE: Bennett is a very successful electrician. He is classed with Edison on account of having invented many electrical appli- ances. His greatest invention is a small machine which transforms cigar- ette ducks into the most delicious tobacco that can be imagined. We are sorry to say he has produced only 946 of these machines and that all of these he uses for his own private necessities. He is thinking seriously of selling his patent to the DOG and CHAPMAN TOBACCO CONCERN, Milledge- ville, Ga. V lVlAT HINES: Mat, was very successful at Tech, having led his class and making a record that has been unprecedented in the history of the school. He is now an engineer for the Baldwin County Sewer Company. A beau- tiful suit of clothes has been furnished free. He not only lays sewer pipes, but also works the roads. He gets his board free, and seems to be very con- tented with life. C. H. HORNE: Carlos has married a beautiful young lady from Mil- ledgeville and has four darling little girls. His success as a chemical en- gineer has been very encouraging indeed. He is now trying to discover why Milledgeville drinking water is muddy. He has also advanced several theo- ries as to why ice freezes at the North Pole. His book entitled, '6Why the Milky Way Has Never Turned to Clabberfi has gained him a name that will rank him with Shakespeare, Dante and other eminent writers throughout the ages to come. R. P. MIKELL: Bob is the head of The Mikell HBlondineing,' Company. He has made a great deal of money among the Ethiopians in the south. He guarantees that one bottle of this magic fluid will make the blackest African as white as snow. He has also invented a machine that will make kinky hair QIN1 R-fz1s.s-tra -s-. .- :L 5 I ' . . fa , V - ,p'lr!L..-1--YJ ig.. Y , Y' rw J r Y .:, ,J f' T f .e ., -nw ya' ex,
