'PREVIEWS' Friends and Fellow Classmates: Telling you about the future lives and activities of the members of this graduating class is my assignment for this evening. Frankly there have been numerous times in the last few weeks when I have thought for certain that I was going to have to disappoint you tonight. The accumulation of this information has been one of the hardest, most nerve wracking tasks that I ever tried to do. Had it not been for the help of a very kind friend I would have failed. I have spent hour after hour, day after day, and night after night trying to get myself in a prophetic moodg but to no avail. Finally, dazed and bewildered, and disillusioned, I had given up. I was ready to say that it just couldn't be done. Suddenly I was aroused from my stupor by something pulling at my sleeve and a small voice saying, nYoung man the future is something that is not meant for the understanding of ordinary human beings. We elves of the fairy world are enchanted, therefore, we know and see everything. We derive our happiness by helping others to greater happiness. I will help you with your problem, if you will promise me that you will in turn help others in any way that you can whenever the opportunity presents itself. Naturally, I quickly pledged my assistance to any who might be in need of it. Whereupcn the elf made himself comfortable and proceeded to give me the following preview of our tomorrows: So successful will Darrell Kirkley be as a student of commerce and busi- ness that he will become president of the largest automobile manufacturing company in the world. 1 The 'Upper hoo' will have within its ranks a member of the class of l9h9 for Miss Patsy Funderburk will climb to great social heights. She is doomed, however, to a mighty crushing sorrow--her pet poodle will die. It is inevitable that M . Frank Hendrix will become one of the great professional baseball players of all times. Following his natural inclinations for digging to the bottom of every thing, Mr. Mack Pressley will become water carrier for a famous group of Egyptian Archaeologists. Miss Elsie Rae Atkinson and Miss Wynona Taylor will become demonstrator and sampler, respectively, in a bubble gum factory. Mr. Byron Hicks will go to Africa to hunt and tame wild elephants. He will eventually wind up as a 'Barker' for one of the big name circuses. Mr. Garlin Hicks will reflect much credit on his Alma Mater when he is voted the outstanding historian of all times. Partly because of necessity for providing for her large family of shift- less in-laws and partly because of a life long desire to do so, Miss Elma Rae Miller will develope her hobby of scientific, sollless garden culture to the point that she is recognized as an authority thereon. ' As head football coach at Notre Dame, Mr. Edwin Miller, Jr. carries on the tradition of a winning team. A musical career will claim Miss Louise Hinson. She will become one of the outstanding artists of all times. Mr. Jimmy Klrkley will become the favorite star of television plays. Just then a sad thing happened. Someone knocked at the door and the little elf vanished. I was never able to coax him back, so ends my story.
