THE ANVIL, JUNE, 1918. Class Prophecy Since I was again in my own home town, after an ab- sence of fifteen years, I was very much interested in learn- ing about the people I used to know. Thinking that per- haps I could find out where some of my old classmates were and what they were doing by going to the high school, I de- cided to go over one morning. I was anxious to see how the pupils behaved in chapel, but I thought it best to suppress my curiosity because I remembered that past graduates who visited on chapel mornings were sometimes called upon for a speech and since I always felt shaky in the knees when I had to face an audience, I decided I would make sure that it was not chapel morning when I went. The building had been altered, many more rooms having been added to accommodate the large classes. As I wan- dered around the building, looking in the different rooms I thought I should like to see Room 1 again. The cloak room looked as familiar that it seemed almost as if I were again going to high school. I thought I would look in the room and see if it looked as natural as ever, but to my surprise I found a domestic science class in the room. The pies that they were making smelled so good that I thought I would go on into the room. When the teacher came forward to see what I wanted I saw that it was Jennie Wheeler. We were both surprised. Jennie looked very efficient and capable. She told me that all the girls who took domestic science pre- pared food every day to sell at lunch time. When she saw I was so amazed at this she said she would take me around the building and show me other great changes. I wondered how she could leave her class but she soon explained that by saying that they had student government in the high school now. Having satisfied my curiosity concerning the school in general, I went to the principal's ofiice. H egave me a. man- ual, prepared by one of the recent ambitious classes, which contained each class' history and membership from nineteen hundred to the present time. 19

THE ANVIL, JUNE, 1918. I turned through the pages rapidly until I came to the class of '18. After reading the history which was so famil- iar, I turned to the list of members and found the names arranged in alphabetical order. Upon reading there I found that Lloyd Averill is commodore of the South Atlantic squad- ron. I was not surprised for I always expected Lloyd to be a great captain. Ida Armesy's beautiful voice has made her famous. She is now singing in grand opera. Ellsworth Allen owns the largest furniture store in Painesville. Philip Baker is in the real estate business in Cleveland. He has also evolved a new plan to get rich quick. Ava Billington is the music instructress in the Columbus schools. Christina Beswick has made her name famous for she was the originator of the famous Beswick Dresses which every well dressed woman is familiar with. Esther Brown rivals the great Sprotski. She is famous in both Europe and America as an interior decorator. Edward Church is a well known lawyer in New Orleans. He won the famous Mickle case. Elizabeth Chapman teaches modern language at Lake Erie. Esther Casler, Marion Lee, Edna Youmans and Ruby Harrison are all representatives of the Red Cross and are in France at the present time. They are helping to rebuild homes for soldiers and their families. I thought as I read their names that more than likely they Wouldn't come back wearing the title Miss any more. The faculty of Mentor High School has been much im- proved by the addition of Gladys Lowrey and Lucille Cot- trell. Prominent among great settlement workers of Chicago is Evangeline Cummings. Every child on the East Side knows her and calls her The Angel Lady. Gordon Doncaster supervised the building of the Great Bridge across Grand river. He is a well known civil en- gineer. Emily Dunkel likes Her West very much and enjoys 20
