“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.
