In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class of '23, hereunto set our hand and seal, this first day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty three. -SEN1ons or 19221 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The old clock upon the mantel was slowly ticking the hour. Nine o'- clock. I paused a moment in my knitting to rub my sleepy eyes. 'tliring me the Tatler , I said to Tabby, my old gray cat tand sole companionl as she sat comfortably at my feet before a blazing hearth in the dreary month of December, 1943. I had given this command so often that Tabby knew eX- actly how to obey it. Taking the precious book from her paws, I began to turn the familiar and well worn pages wondering what had become of all my class friends of '23 whose characters were reflected there. I began to read, This is respectfully dedicated to ...... but Nguddenly I could not see, Slumber fell like a cloud on me. And into my soul the vision flew. f'Oh. you hurt! Don't .... At first I could not discover from whence came these decidedly femi- nine sounds of distress. But gradually there appeared before me a scene in a dentist's office. A handsome man with dentist's instruments in hand was bending over an attractive lady. I was amazed! The dentist was cer- tainly no other than Perry Mcflollom, president of our graduating class of '23. And the lady was Miss Ruby Cockrum, our most efficient secretary. 'tVVhy, Ruby, I had just started to pull that tooth and anyway .... VVell, anyway it hurt. But for goodness sakes, Perry Mctlollom. do hurry! I have to prepare my lecture on Bad Boys before seven, and here it is five-thirty alreadyf' I eagerly followed Ruby as she left the dentist's office. We had gone scarcely a block when she accosted a man who greeted her in a very brus- que manner. Ruby cordially extended her hand. Why hello, Fred. I hear that you have just been appointed Presi- dent of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Is that so? 46 .llllllllIIHHllllilllllllllttiitliliiiiilliliiitlHllllilliiiiiiilllilllilllillHillillliiHHlI1l1II1lilllllIll4IiIlIIIII1IIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIlllllllliiliiiilliiiIliilllllllllrllllilKilllIlliilllllilliiilll1llllIillIIllIIIllllIllIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIlIIIIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllll

I resigned 1ny position as editor of The Chi- cago Tribune and accepted this positiong but say, Ruby, Illll surely going to hear that lecture tonight. It'll be a dandy if it's as good as the one I heard last summer on The Ilnsettled Position of XVOIIIGIIN. t'Oh, thauksn, laughed Ruby as she proceeded o11 her way. I again followed her but suddenly became lost in the whir and confusion of the heavy traffic. For a moment all was dark and uncertain and when I found myself O11 a rapidly speeding train. It seemed that the din of tl1e traffic had been converted into the noise of the train. A newspaper was lying near. I picked it up and soon became very much interested in the follow- ing article: ILLINOIS WOMAN RETURNS FROM TRIP IN SOUTH AMERICA UNIVERSITY PREPARICS GREAT HONORS The University of Illinois is preparing great honors for Miss Pauline Martel who returns today from a trip in South America where she has been collecting birds, fishes, reptiles, dragon flies and amphibians for the Uni- versity. Miss Martel is a graduate of the University and is quite noted for her unusual feminine bravery. Another article printed in big headlines on the opposite page also attracted my attention: PRESIDENT APPOINTS A WOMANASATTORNEY GENERAL OF U. S. FIRST WOMAN TO HAVE THE HONOR OF BEING A MEMBER OF PRESIDENT'S CABINET Recently a great deal of excitement has been created in political and social circles as well when for the first time in history a President has ap- pointed a woman as a member of his cabinet. The most fortunate lady is Miss Georgina Mitchell of Scsser, Illinois who was appointed to fill the vacancy in thc Cabinet caused by the death of Attorney-General VVhite. Miss Mitchell, a very capable woman of unusual ability, has been practic- ing law in Renton, Illinois, and has won great renown as a brilliant law- Bverg? s I had barely finished reading this extraordinary article when I felt a hand upon my shoulder. I turned to discover a very handsome man who seemed rather familiar. There was a sarcastic grin upon his face as he said, IVhy, hello there, Margaret. So you too have been reading of this silly appointment. I thought the President a wiser man than to appoint a woman to such an important position. Of course, Georgina is a very ca- pable woman, but such positions should be reserved for the men, don't you think? Overjoyed at seeing Tip , another of my class friends of '22, I did not take time to argue the question of 'tXVomen's Rights , but again to question him concerning himself.
