T had recently read a hook entitled Kings Improved Methods of Study-ini’: French. I never dreamed this was old “Rusty until he told me that lie had written the book during his study to become a doctor. He is now head of John Hopkins Hospital. Lastly. I noticed Misses Helen Folsom and Sarah Benson, who were upholding the ideals of our class by remaining at home as a comfort to the old folks. This completed the meeting with the members of our class, who in turn clamored to know what fortune had befallen the writer of this prophecy, but upon looking around, they found that he had disappeared.

I found were head nurses at McLeod’s Infirmary. So Edith and Nettie had both realized their fond hope of becoming nurses. As I turned. T saw Misses Olive Ivirven and Katherine Shaw, but I learned they were no longer Misses Ivirven and Shaw, but were now Mrs. Jack Davis of Hartsville and Mrs. Wade Dunian of Florence. They had given up dreams of becoming famous in order to make homes. I heard a great noise in one corner. On observation. I recognized Miss Alice Shaw leading a group of suffragettes. I saw Misses Mary Ellen Young, Annie Davis, and Eoline Folsom among the group, and wondered if these could be the same dignified girls. It was hard to believe they had become such man-haters. I had noticed a sign over a door on my way to the school house which read Once Young. Always Young.’ I inquired the meaning of this and found it was owned bv Misses Lucia Ferguson and Inza Rouse, who had toured Africa and the South Sea Islands, where they made a special study of beauty. So Lucia and Inza had become very up-to-date. A voice behind me was heard saying “Boy, Howdy.” I knew this was none other than Hugh Byrd, now a great success as a movie actor, known to all movie fans as Rudolpho Yassilino II. Beyond Hugh I noticed a familiar face, but I could not remember her name. On closer observation I recognized Miss Willie Stack, who is now Mayor of Boston. I always knew that some day she would rise to adorn some prominent office. In one corner of the room I noticed Miss Mildred Jordan conversing with Misses Elise Hawkins and Elizabeth Bailey on the “State Federation of Women’s Clubs of which organization Miss Jordan had recently been elected president. This same group was also discussing the promotion of Miss Etta Hunter, who had finished Wesleyan College with high honors and had just been elected president of this institution. Just at this time I came upon Weldon Twittv in the midst of a crowd of girls explaining his life work, which really was so interesting. I had to stop and listen. This is what I heard: He had graduated at Boston Tech and was at present taking a vacation preparatory to going to the Great Lakes where a great project had been entrusted to him. namely: dredging the Great Lakes for the building of a new canal between Toronto and Ottawa which will make Cleveland and Chicago great ports similar to New York. He was to be joined by Mr. Huger Byrd, who had just completed a civil engineering course at Clemson College. The occupations of the members of our class are varied as is shown by the next report. In talking with Misses Mable Abbott. Martha Morrison, and Hannah Louise Harrington, I found that Hannah was engaged in writing plays in which Mable and Martha take the leading parts, always starring together in musical lines as well as dramatic. From Leona Courtney and Beatrice Williams, I obtained the knowledge that they were fast becoming rich by conducting a fashionable school for girls.
