AC ONHIGH S CHOOL L THE YEAR 1940 Iiditor says to nie, says he, You wzite a prophecy of the Senior Class. I says to him, says I, I never was very good at xvritin' them things. XX'cll, he says to me, says he. You've got to do it. So I says to myself, says I, I suppose I got to do it, and I began to think. llurty soon I begin to rekellect. It was at a weekly meetin' of the Old Ladies' Sewin' Club in the year IU-IO. Mrs. Il. Curious was talking to Mrs. G. Ilowe Strange. As I was sayin', Mrs. Strange, isn't it wonderful how times have changed. Now there's Mrs. Il. Swell, she used to be Mary XYescott: she used to live in a little town called l,acon, but she never goes there anymore. She's so busy with her society circles. Another is that lady whose name used to be Miss Kamp. I forgot the name of her husband. They say she's got a line home on Greenback Iloulevard and her man's got slathers of money. Ile owns the Monitor Cigar Factory. Mrs. Strange broke in, Yes, Mrs. Curious. and I hear that Iletty Miller will soon marry the attorney-general of this district, and they're goin' to live in I-acon. And, then there's Hazel Shafer for another. XYhy, only yesterday I was readin' in the paper where she saved a man's life at the Savem or Iiillem hospital. They say she is an expert nurse. Mrs. Curious, again. And I remember another: Ilarold Creabil. that traveling auditor that was at the ofhee the other day where my husband works. They say he can add a string of Figures a foot long, right in his head. Mrs. Strange answered, Yes, and do you remember that little jewish-- looking fellow that ran that haberdashing on the corner of Main and Sixth. That was Harrison Green. I used to know him when he was only a little shaver. He used to run around with that Myers boys. Oh! XYhy, that is the same Myers that made that important discovery in science in regard to the length of a bullfrog's legs. They say he is quite an authority. Mrs. Curious asked, XYho was that tall boy that used to go to school in I.acon? Mrs. Strange bubbled forth, XYhy, he is exhibiting with Ilarnum K Bailey as .the VVonder Man. I saw him last fall and he's growed about two feet since he left school! Mrs. Curious ehimed in, I know two you've forgotten. XVho, asked Mrs. Strange. XVliy Donald Richmond and that johnson boy. I used to know them ,when they would run across my flower beds. Ilut they are busy now. They have a law office in Chicago and are busy hangin' and savin'. R.-XNDALL DIOIINSON.
