Prophecy A ll, CHILDREN, your past is an open book — your present is obvi- ous — your future I shall reveal. By the sand on your shoes I can tell that you are from Hammond, Indiana. Your bright, intelligent faces indicate that you are from Tech ; my prophetic soul tells me that the ink on those diplomas is not yet dry — I recognize you as the class of ’25. As small boys and girls you attended grade school iii Hammond — later, I see many of you at the Industrial High ; but finally I see you all rushing to Tech where you remained until Mr. Barrows gave you those diplomas in order to be rid of you. Do not fear that you will be forgotten now that you are graduated. There will be other football and basketball teams at Tech but Gragido, Atwood, Lane, Cline, Frame, and Cook were on the first teams ! There will be other office girls but none like Edna, Mildred and Dorothy. The future ? Let me gaze ' into my crystal and I shall tell you what I see for each of you in 1935. In Indianapolis I see a large garage with the name “Warner and Frame”, also the inscription “Free Air”. Carroll is slightly bald headed; but so prosperous he doesn’t mind. William Ohr, you will become rich, and win the everlasting gratitude of school teachers by inventing “The Ohr Sandpaper Cellar for Rough- necks”. You will spend your entire life in Hammond where there is a great demand for your product. Robert Cline, the class diplomat, will enter government service, apd nine years, eleven months and twenty-nine days from now will be sailing from New York to take up his duties as United States Ambassador to Germany.

“Scratchy” Gragido will go “popping” into fame and fortune — he is the Popcorn King of the future. Edna Lohse’s picture will hang in Tech’s “Hall of Fame” for she will be secretary to the President of the United States. Dorothy Warren will marry a traveler and travel with him in a covered wagon. Seniors, ten years from now you will get advice from her for she is to become a famous fortune teller. Harry Gruszka within ten years will be “the famous Mr. Gruszka”, inventor for a device for sending eats by radio. Lester Morse will take care of the receiving end of Mr. Gruszka’s invention. Vincent McArty, ten years hence, will be the idol of every movie fan in the country — and a bachelor ! If he ever expresses a preference for one woman, all the others will commit suicide. Mildred, the hard work you did on Tech’s annual has not been in vain. The training you received then will prove valuable to you in the position you will hold in 1935. As the first woman mayor of Hammond you will need all your tact ; for city officials are as difficult to manage as your class- mates. Everyone who is fond of “Andy Gump” should make the most of him while he is with us, for Andy will die from neglect when Ervin Cook pre- sents his cartoons to the public. Ten years from now it will be impossible to publish the Chicago Tribune without a “Cook Cartoon”. James Lane, your very name suggests travel, the records you will make in your racing car will make De Palma and Oldfield look like fixtures on the landscape. Now children, I have foretold your future as the crystal has revealed it to me — never doubt that your lives will be just as I have predicted — or entirely different.
