Somewhat farther on I saw Miss Mary Hodgdon gravely trimming up-to- date bonnets in a large millinery store. Last, as I entered the old gymnasium, I found Miss Haraden happily at work reproducing the beautiful scenes of Venice. But in a moment all had changed and as I hurried about to learn more secrets of the future I found the building deserted — I was locked in. Lottie R. Lane, ’01. PART II. S I was taking my daily walk which happened to be along the Magnolia shore, it suddenly occurred to me that I had been asked to write a prophecy of our honored class of ’01. I walked along trying to think of a way to begin it. At last I gave up in despair and sat down on the sand and gazed over the vast stretch of ocean. Suddenly I perceived a small object ap- proaching with great speed, each wave bore it aloft until at last it was de- posited at my feet. It was a small tin box covered with a network of bam- boo and gave forth a peculiar odor. I at once became curious to know what it contained and after much exertion, finally opened it. To my sur- prise several small rolls of parchment dropped out, each one being tied with a strong fibre of a plant known only in Egypt. I examined each roll closely and found them written in Egyptian characters. So I returned home and with the aid of an old Egyptian servant, translated their mean- ing.

And as an additional feature she will import three hun- dred young Filipino savages as caddies.

Bessie Parsons on receiving her high school diploma will depart immedi- ately for South Africa, where she will engage in scientific research, in quest of a certain plant that will keep mosquitoes away from Harbor View Court. Bertha Elizabeth Sanders and Miss Una Saunders, at the close of the high school year, will make an extended tour of the world. On their way home through China they will be so infatuated with the place that they will decide to make it their home and spend the rest of their lives there in unbroken in- dolence. Nettie Mae Terry, whose desire for exploring can never be suppressed, will make extensive preparations for a ten year Arctic Sea trip. She will finally reach the north pole, in which she will burn her name and the names of all the members of ’01. As the last roll was opened, I suddenly awoke and found myself lying on the sand. The sun had long since sunk below the horizon and the stars be- gan to twinkle as I slowly wended my way homeward thinking of the glo- rious future of the class of 1901. C. Knight, ’01. Joys of Summer Weather. I roam through the fields in the bright summer weather, And sit ’neath the shade of the tall willow-tree; I dance with glad feet o’er the sweet-smelling clover, And rest on the shores of the beautiful sea. I love the blue sky with its fleecy clouds sailing. In fancy I live in the castles above ; I dwell in the heavens with joy never failing, And fill all my life with a sweet pure love. Eotta D. Jones, ’01. 28
