And lastly, to our wo1'thy housekeeper, llr. lvilkinson, we leave the stray pennies he finds on the study hall floor. Sworn and subscribed before lna john- son a11d lVendelin Ball, notaries. Our term expires lllay 23, 1926. - Class Prophecy IRST, l will introduce myselfg l am a penny, and on my face is the date of 19.4.5 and since this is the year 1950 you see l have been in circula- tion five years. During that time l have gone thru many hands and made many pilgrimages, of some of these l will tell you. ln 1945 when l first came out of a Li. S. lllint, bright and shiny, the first person l saw was Donald Hitchcock. On listening l soon learned that Donald was chief boss over the lllint and was direct- ing the whole affair. After much handl- ing l was stacked up with many others and taken to a large ofhce. lVhile here l saw many famous men and women. Un one occasion the president and his private secretary, La lllar -lones, came to the ofliceg on another th1'ee of the cabinet members: Secly of lVar, David Heimg Secly of Navy, True Stoutg and Post- master General, VVendelin Ball. But very soon l was se11t to a bank in Chicago. The President of the Bank, Lowell Lee, first unwrapped me but before l was handed out as change Cecile Beagles, Beulah l1'win and Leona Price, clerks, and a g1'eat many other hands handled me a great many times. Qne day l heard some one whisper here comes Gerald liaill the great radio king. They say hels made millions of dollars with his radio factory and is now one of the wealthiest men in Chicago, and look, the one on his right is Harold lllartin. the noted brain specialist, and the other is Welcoriie Snyder, the greatest criminal lawyer Chicago has ever known. Before five minutes had elapsed l was 28 handed to Blr, Hall as change and soon was going a1'ound over Chicago safe in the depths of his pocket. lllr. Ball stop- ped in at a famous studio to see some old friends and, behold, who was there but The Lackey rllwinsfl Stars, Hal Hoham. director of the famous Broadway Ragg- bonesw orchestra and Robert Brown, Chi- cagols most noted -ladies' dancing master. The next day l was handed to a clerk at thc famous Arlington Hotel. l lay still awhile in the cash drawer but after a while began to stir and peep out of the key-hole. l hadn't noticed until then that the clerk was Olen Albert. Late in the day l was handed to a wealthy stock and poultry dealer Glenn Baker and was soon on my-road to New York. Before reaching New York llr. Baker stopped at a pretty little tea-shop which had a sign like this above the door, lVelcome lnn. Callie and Lillie O'Dell, Proprietors. l was handed over in payment for a lunch, and for many weeks took a reit, One afternoon a party of tourists strolled into the tea-room and sat down. Callie came behind the counter and cried, 'lSay, that woman with the light knickers on is llrs. Leonard Clizbe, and the other is Hlrs. Edgar O'lieefe. Alewel a11d -luanita made a success alright didnlt they?l' lt was then that l rolled over and be- gan to listen to the conversation of the tourists. l gathered from their talk that they were going to New York to see some old friends appear in public. That evening the famous Prima Donna, Bernice lllor- combe was to appear in a Broadway theatre owned and operated by Clifford
