The Panther 9 CLASS PROPI-IECY . I was thinking not long ago of the year I graduated from Plant High School, and remembering my classmates, all of whom had aspired to high achievements on the wheel of life. Being possessed of an insatiablet curiosity l thought it would be very interesting, and perhaps even amusing, to try to learn, in some way, what had happened in the past ten years to these beloved classmates of mine. Not being the seventh daughter, of a seventh daughter, or some such gifted per- son, and therefore absolutely unable to find out for myself, I communicated with the world renowned Crystal Gazer-Madame Psyche, with whom you may be more or less familiar, sent her the names and explained to her in detail the characteristics of the various individuals, in that class of June, 1929. Realizing that her reply is of vital interest to each and every one of you, I am taking this opportunity of reading to you Madame Psyche's message to us from the occult world ......... My Dear Madam: In accordance with your request I put myself in touch with the occult thru the medium of my crystal-and lo and behold the first to appear before my searching gaze was-your class beauty-Miss Ruth Ybanez, who is now world-famed for her loveliness and recently chosen Miss America .....
