0 -.- 0 Q ORPQNGEZ-HjDBLACIif19,W A Dream of the Future 'Twas the night after graduating, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Exams were over, Commencement too, And the young man's High School days were throughg His Diploma lay within his hand, his head upon the table, And he dreamed a dream which we'll relate the best that we are able. The Faculty in Paradise Time had passed Chow long a times-who knows?J and the strain of the last two months of Senior activities, athletics, dramatics, anxieties as to whether or not we would graduate, etc.-had been too much for us. We had all passed on, not only from High School but frozn mortal life. Arrived at the Pearly Gates, we re ieived our first surprise upon recogniz- ing in the place of Saint Peter-listen-our old friend, Prof. Burfield, former instructor of Scrub-ology and Dust-ology in H.

We rather expected to find Miss Paterson and Mr. Nees and possibly Mr. Allen, but to find Mr. Castillo and Miss Sheets there was entirely beyond us, so we crowded expectantly toward the Custodian of the Golden Keys crying clamorously, Let us in!

But the boys and girls up here are little Angels and don't mind going to school. Mr. Nees rules with Cas at his right hand and Uncle Dick at his left, but the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth. If you'll wait a minute, Illl go with you to show you the way. But suppose some one should come to the Gates while you are gone? we asked doubtfully. Not much danger of that, he replied laconically. Jiitney Dances on Earth, business dull up here. I have more time than I know what to do with, so I am seeking the office of Constable. It might help my cause if you should circulate a petition favoring my selection. A Constable in Heavenli' we exclaimed in horror. Safety first, replied Burfield. Since we received word that the Class of '19 was coming here, the office has been created. With Burfield leading, we started for the school house. Our path lay among nl- i l-Dn A-riff? AQYIXF S A 19 A
