SENIOR PROPHECY Picture a lonely cabin, deserted, half hidden within the shadows of a mighty forest, its walls banked with snowdrifts. It is dusk, a silent dusk, whose solitude is broken only by the occasional hoot of an owl or the distant mourning call of a whip-poor-will. 1 hen, out of the darkness, comes the sound of snow shoes, a crunching step, and a man strides to the cabin, throws open the door and enters. With the unhurried yet skillful actions of the man of the open, he prepares a scanty meal and, after eating, washes the meager supply of dishes. Then he takes his place before the fire blazing on the hearth. Dreamily he muses, then, as though to himself, he speaks: May 20, 1937—just ten years since I graduated from G. P. H. S. with the class of ’27. I wonder where they are and what they’re doing.” As if in answer, the fire blazes up, showing the crude interior of the cabin, with its walls roughly covered with newspapers. With a slight showing of curiosity the man rises and steps to the wall. What’s this?” he cries. “The Grants Pass Daily Times,” Carl James Metzen, editor, circulation 400,000. Well Carl’s journalistic aspirations have brought him somewhere. I must continue. Miss Vera Humphrey is chosen as girls’ counsellor at the University of California. Vera’s sympathetic nature has once more made her populai. “T om Lenhart has been selected as vice-president of the Oregon State Y. M. C. A. 1 om’s kindly actions and strongly expressed sentiments will turn many a straying youth back to the straight and narrow path. Ah, and over here by the window I read. ‘Buy your negligee from Cecil Harmon. ‘T he Home of Dainty Lingerie.’ And near it I see that Miss Mae Fleming is teaching voice culture at the U. of O. What a perfect vocation for one so well adapted to it. “And near this bunk it says that Mr. Vernon Trimble has charge of the notion department (including safety pins) at Wieland’s Economy Store. And also. Miss Doris Footberg announces that she is supervising the sale of men’s underwear and socks in the same store. Well, Doris always had an eye for curiosities. —23 —
