R, I, za -' ' 2' r H 1928 THF. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One afternoon I sat in a large armchair in my cosy living room. Not having any- thing to do I was sitting very quietly thinking of the days spent in Iaeger High School. Suddenly there appeared before me a very beautiful figure, which proved to be a fairy. I looked at the lovely creature for a minute or two and finally came to my senses enough to ask her why she cam: to me. She told me that she thought I would: like to know something of how my classmates were succeeding in life and she had come to tell me. I first inquired about the quieter girls in the class who are Margaret Dillon, Gladys Mills and Letta Thomason. I must have wings because I felt myself flying in the air by the fairy's side. We came to a large house and flying to a window we looked into a very comfortable room. In different parts of the room I recognized all three of these girls. On the floor were playing three or four children. This was the home of Margaret. and Letta and Gladys were visiting her. Yes, all three had married wealthy men and were blessed with having beautiful children. I then asked about Hessie Blevins. I was very much surprised when we saw a room Elled with pictures. At one end sat a person who was working very hard. This person was Hessie. who was always fond of art. She had started out by drawing magazine illustrations. In a few minutes the scene changed completely. I found myself in a very large room and there was only one sound to be heard. I recognized that to be the voice of Francis Kennedy. He had become a great orator and was making a political speech in favor of Marvin- Perkins as a Republican candidate for President of the United States. I also saw Zella Short on a stage debating. She had won fame in this line and was one of the great debaters of the world. I told the fairy that I would love to know something of Marvin Harman and Edwin Pauley. After a few minutes I found myself in a large room which appeared to be a court room. Here I saw Marvin. Edwin had married a very wealthy woman and was now suing for divorce. Naturally, since Edwin and Marvin had grown up together and Marvin was so famous a lawyer, Edwin had got him to help secure his divorce. Before me appeared a large sheet of paper. On it was written a poem entitled Nature . Below the poem was written Theodore Muncy. I asked the fairy what this meant and she told me that Theo.. was one of the world's greatest poets. I was surprised but I thought of how Theo. used to write about nature in school. After flying for several minutes I came to a large door which the fairy opened and I entered. On a stage appeared Maude Shreve and Mabel Smith. I readily knew by the applause of the audience that these girls had become widely known as actresses. I was surprised but glad to learn that they had gained such importance. ' We were going along and suddenly stopped over a two-room school building. Ruth Smith and Leland Street were teaching a crowd of very mischievous boys and girls. Yes, they were getting a light dose of what they had given their teachers so much of. But what was that? O yes, this was only a dream and I have not been flying at all. I find myself where I started from, but much better pleased, because I feel that part of my dream might at least come true. GLENNA E.

We traveled along such places as Panther, Bradshaw. and other small places and finally landed in the well known City of Iacgerf' The first year we spent in Iaeger Hi they gave us the name of Freshmen because we hadn't been out so much they said. We managed to get thru that year very well even though we were called green. This year we picked up some New Friends known as Letta Thomason, Mabel Smith. and Connie Bradberry. Connie journeyed along with us awhile then dropped out to get rich. This year some of our crowd showed their splendid ability in football and basketball. At last came our Junior year. Now we were becoming a little more dignified and had learned what it was all about. This year when Basketball and Football represent- atives were callcd for we answered the' call by sending out stars from the Junior Class- We trudged along until we finally became Seniors .
