I'll believe it when you prove it to me, I told him scoffingly. Ten gaze into the crystal ball and the life of your classmates will unfold before you, my little friend replied. Here is what I saw=-the remarks in parenthesis are the thoughts that ran through my mind at the time. The scene that greeted my eye when I gazed into the cry- stal ball was the interior of one of the largest banks in New York City--The Anderson Trust Company--and yes, there sat Edgar Anderson, the President of the Bank (his interests must have changed from girls to money). sh doesn't she?) Who's that asking for a Traveler's Check for Eleanor? Why, it's Marilyn Barnhart, Secretary to F. D. Roosevelt. (she used to be a good Republican, too.)

The little figure then said, We're leaving the Bank now, the next scenes will show your classmates at their work.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY by Doris Sommer After school one athe I was helping the town in its clean-up week campaign, I decided that the attic of our house was a good place to begin. Up into the eaves of the house I went in search of trash. What I ddscovered was not a little trash but literally a goldemine of it. The first thing that caught my attention was a box of books. Looking through these for an hour or so, I soon came to the conclu= sion that they might as well be thrown out, for no one reads those old-time books any more. Next a box full of everything imaginable came to my attention. In this I found an old- fashioned bussle, an Owege board, a worn-sout wig, and clear in the bottom was a crystal ball and a book on fortune telle ing. I lifted the crystal ball from its box and put it on. the floor and started looking through another box, when suddenly I noticed that the crystal ball was beginning to glow from within with a queer light, The light grew brighter and brighter and finally lit up the whole attic, Inside the ball a little figure suddenly appeared and starticd me out of my wits when it spoke to me. Yes, oh Master, what is it you wish? the little figure asked in’a squeaky voice. When I regained my tongue, I replied, Who are you, and why do you call me your Master? I have never seen you before in my life I I call you Master because it is written that the first person to take this crystal ball from its hiding place shall have any wish fulfilled that he desires. What is your wish, oh Master? 3 You mean to tell me that I may have any wish fulfilled? I asked in astonishmens. Yes, that is right. You may have anything you wish ex- cept one thing, and that is the wish to be rich. I can fule- fill only good wishes, and the wish to be rich is an evil one, explained the midget figure. Well, let's see. What shall I wish for? I asked, partly to the figure and partly to myself, 'Most people wish to look into the future, the inhabi- tant of the ball said hoping to help me, Alright, I said, I should like to look into the future lives of my classmates at school and see how they will fare in the struggle of life, but, of course, I suppose that Is asking too much of such a little figure. as yourself? Not at all, answered my little friend, for the super= natural ones, nothing is too much.
