ggi fv JL Class Prophecy T ,a Y, MOKE, music, soft dreamy colored lights, create an atmosphere for dreaming. Before me was a Chinese God with delicately scented lilac incense slowly curling from his mouth and ears. It was a. fascinating lf., ii' , thing, as the smoke gracefully curled about its head forming circles, gardens, scenes. Now the form of a dainty dancer, then again a dragon with fangs and wings that seem to leap toward me. But slowly it winds its way upward and fades away. Soft, dreamy music was now playing a Chinese lullaby. It seemed as if I were ln a garden, a quaint old Chinese garden where thousands of wild roses were nod- ding in the gentle breeze. Somehow the Chinese God semed to weave a spell about me. It seemed to hold me fascinated as if some face were drawing me nearer to it. Ir seemed as if someone whispered to me, Stay, do not go away, and the secret of the future will be revealed to you.', Slcwly the smoke curled from the mouth of the god and a scene formed. Ar first it was blurred and I could not see what it was. The figure drew me nearer, and the music suddenly ceased. And in that magic stillness I saw the secrets of the future clearly revealed to me. Far out of the shadows a nurse in a white uniform appeared-small, stately and dignified. At once I knew it to be our old friend, Carolyn Stanton, only slightly changed from the girl of our High, School days. I longed to talk to her, and before I realized what I was doing, I was talking with her. Soon I learned that she was doing her best to hasten the recovery of 'tin who was a patient there. Even while I watched, the scene changed before my eyes, and the towering sky-scrapers of New York appeared. In the midst was a banking house. A door marked Private Secretaryn was standing open, and I saw' Elenore Thorwarth, seated at a desk, looking very sedate and proper, but smiling as well, pleased with the wonderful opportunity which her diligence and study in Dear Hampton I-Hgh had secured for her. I was about to speak to her, but to my astonishment the scene seemed to grow dim, and the smoke curled and twirled about my headi until I could see faintly a beautiful opera house. Here I learned that Alice Potter and Kathryn Banghart were the two leading actresses for the season. I also learned that Alice had opened a school for aesthetic dancing. Slowly this scene disappeared and out of it rose a large white: building, with a dome at the top, which I recognized as the Capitol at Washington, D.C. I was asked, whether I would like to see the President, Jack Staples. Hurriedly I en- tered and who should the new president be but our old classmate, 'tshrimpf' He had changed considerably from the Pal of our high school days. I-le was a typical man of affairs, and he seemed so busy that I did nov: disturb him. Next a motion picture theatres came in sight, and on the bill' I saw the name of our classmate, Louise Everitt, who was playing the leading role in Macbeth. She had at last reachedthe height of her cherished ambition. My attention was next attracted to a large school building. Here, while I was being shown through the Chemistry Laboratory, I recognized the professor to be Bob Woodward, who, after completing his college course, had taken up the teaching of Chemistry. 28
