Ella Bear will be matron of the home for old ladies at Kirbyville. Raymond L. Barner will follow his chosen profession as a lecturer. We wish him success. We now turn to Bryan Bean, who will follow his vocation as an agricul- turist. His name is very suggestive as to the crop—beans, his favorite vegetable, —which lie will raise. Anna M. Best will secure the position of cashier at Green's Pharmacy in Pottsville. Behold, Paul B. Bordner ! Five years hence he will be one of the world’s greatest mathematicians, teahing in some famous university. Karl W. Boyer’s ambition is to be a minister. He thinks it would be nice to marry couples and confesses that he wouldn’t mind coupling up himself so as to gain experience which as a married as well as a marrying parson he might give to those who will come to him to be made one. Esther Bower and I,eon Ralm will be the most progressive scientific farmers between Allentown and Kutztown.

Our philosopher, B. Bruce Cosden, will attain what now lie seeks, the summit of his ambition, recognized eminence in philosophy.

Catherine Costello will take Charley Chaplain's place in the movies. She will play for the Schueing Company. 15

CLASS PROPHECY rWENTIETH century education offers various opportunities for educational achievement. Never before in the history of the world have there been offered to men and women greater advantages, richer opportunities, or larger possibilities to rise to the pinnacle of usefulness and fame. But those whom fortune has led to the altar of fame are invariably individuals of the strictest integrity and honor, men who have labored strenuously amidst pro- found discouragements, even in the depths of despair, unknown, unrewarded, until the hour arrived when they won success. There always have been individuals whose objective in life is higher than it is possible for them to attain. Some will be instrumental in elevating the standards of human life to higher planes because they have probed the mysteries of nature to their deepest depths and have assisted in broadening the scope of intellectual possibilities and the psychic capacity of those with whom they asso- ciate. 'I'hose who reach such special and professional heights may be compared to fertile oases in a great desert, to which oases come great caravans of people seeking intellectual nourishment. Or they may be likened to bright lights illum- inating the darkness of the vicinage, dispersing the widely prevalent gloom of ignorance and superstition for these substituting truths and lofty ideals. The successive pages of history are being turned silently, but we are too much engrossed by the events of the present to think much of the past. Each successive age is like a volume laid aside to be opened no more. The popular idol of to-day displaces the hero of yesterday in our attention. To-morrow this object of interest will, in turn, be displaced by its successor. There is a continuous evolution, a striving to attain to higher planes, ever new developments of strength and beauty, creating new ideals in literature, philosophy, science, and art. Constantly men are rising to diviner heights of love, wisdom, and power. To-morrow the members of the class of 1916 will part from each other. W herever we go, however, we shall yet be united by memories of the comrade- ship which we enjoyed while here at school. Twenty years from now fifty per cent, of our number will be successful in the profession of teaching, forty per cent, will be achieving success in other fields of activity, and the remainder will have passed to their eternal reward. The first man whose future is to be predicted is William A. Albitz. He will some day be an eminent pedagogue, having gained renown by his ability and his winsome appeal to his pupils Edna Aldcrfer will change her name to Grace and will be the wife of a Lutheran minister in New York. Lillie Alshutz will take the place of Professor Surface in lecturing on scien- tific farming and insect study. 14
