CLASS PROPHESY OF 904. many a night have I gaze I at the «tara trying to read in their twinkling depths, the events of years to come. Many a day while walking to school, I have watched the flight of birds trying to decide by their movements the mysteries of the future. Many a time while sitting in the schoolroom I have watched my classmates, trying to imagine what changes time would bring to each one of them. One day as I was thinking of this, I imagined myself in an airship on my way hack to the dear old city of my school days. While there I visited a friend, who, having always had a great in- terest in our ambitious and prosperous class, had followed each one in his career and had saved the following clippings from newspapers: Florida Mr. Victor McCurdy will this evening give a lecture o.n the dangers of the Nicotine Habit. All are most cordially invited, especially the young men of our city. This was so encouraging that I took up the others and proceeded further with great zest. New York—The Misses Kva Montgomery and Roberta Hemmingway, last week gave one of the most elaborate balls of the season. The decorations were especially good, being under the direction of Miss Belle Rogers and Mr. Stuart Barnes. Florence A famous painting of Miss Sadie Van Doren’s will be unveiled tomorrow in the Art Gallery. Miss Van Doren has lately become famous in the eyes of the public and this will be welcome news to many. Philadelphia—Rev. Jacob Moore will hold a series of revival meetings here next week.
