THE TATTLER 1 1 l mAan l l M 1 CLASS PROPHECY its circumference. I describe an inn r circle and the green flames arise I chant my incantations and touch the comm n center of both circles and long red flames leap from the ground, leaping high o meet Uranus I utter my mvocatlons as I learned them from the Great Key o Solomon and while I utter these the flames subside and a red mist forms. Sudde ly the fumes take human shapes. I see again the members of the Class of '24. I see them, and the events of their lives, their joys and sorrows, tl eir virtues and sins, their hatreds, jealousies, and loves. They pass before as in a panorama. I draw the witch's circle upon the sands, and the white flames sprin up from g , . I c , 1 , Y 1 Norman Baker, Mary Derby, amd Harold Mull live their lives over before my eyes. I see again their struggles in the great journalistic game. My feet begin to move in the la est dance steps as I hear Harry Harris, Earl Bargerhuff, George Klein, Helen Be nett, and Malcolm Lybrook bring out those long notes and snappy rumbles of syncopation. They are gone and I see Carl Smallwood, Rex Allen, and Ione Williams laboriously analyzing and synthesyzing compounds-the great Lavaisiers, Priestly and Madam Currie of the day. Mary Carpenter's fate was sealed before she ever marched gracefully across the stage to clutch the white roll in her hand. I hear the faint strains of Mendellsohn's most popular composition rendered by Ray Sellers as Rufus marches up the aisle with Mary to join the club of The Handsome Husbands of which Don Powlen is the president. I also see, either standing before a minister or Justice of the Peace, Louise Clegg, Ruth Grace, and Velma Lowe with their Charles, Evert, and Jack respectively. Mary Flynn is calmly sitting at home telling Wayne of the Campaign of the Democrats. I hear Stan's voice ring out over the rumbling of the street, Well, lady, if you will just sit still, I will have it pulled in a few seconds. The scene shifts again. This t:me I see the music halls, play houses, and vaudeville stages of New York. Pez ny Brown is efficiently directing the largest orchestra in the United States. Floy and John Carithers are amusing the petits enfants with their side-splitting Mut and jeff act. John Geyer is giving a concert and is heralded as the greatest artist since Caruso. Bill James is pulling off his best ventriloquist stunt before a larg audience. The bright lights of Broadway announce E. Nelson's latest, starring eorgia Byerly. Maxine Ferguson is touring the continent giving concerts. The Class of '24 is well repres nted in the athletic world. I see Muck the football hero of the country. Bu lc Grant and Lenora Schell are turning out good basketball teams for DePauw, and Peggy Horn is creating a sensation in Florida with ber new reducing exercises. Page Twenty-eight 1 .

THE TATTLER Wayne Doran and Howard Shumanl I see them as salesmen for a well-known candy concern. Don Gearheart is an efficient Ford salesman. His victims are the members of the '24 class. C. Covalt, Dorothy Powell, R. Roller, and Crystal Young are making speeches about home economics. They are sent out by the Department of Agriculture. E. Wolfe, B. Winn, and Blanche McCarnes are teaching home economics in different schools in Indiana. Before me forms the views of the commercial world. The busy people in whom I am interested in this department are M. 'Bargerhoff, Eva, Velda, E. Liming and Adrienne, Mary Lenon, Hope Ensfield and Helen Farrell. I observe Janet Voss bouncing a little pickaninny on her knees. She is a missionary in Africa. I see her though she is far away. Going about sick patients and caring for the suffering are H. Fitzer, Minta Lyons, C. Grace, E. Young, V. Watson, and Annabelle Merritt. Dorothy Halderman has a large shop in Chicago and is doing interior decora- tions. I see her going about putting a colorful vase here and recommending a chair there. Jeannette Keitzer and Irene Martin have an exclusive dressmaking establish- ment in New York. Gladys Clegg and Helen Grube are their chief manikins, while Mary E. Porter is their head designer. In the different school rooms I perceive Eleanor Zanger, Charles Smith, and Louise Farnsley teaching. Harriett Huff, Mary Alice and Dorothy Porter, and Kathryn Seiter are having a hard time to keep the small children of the kindergarten schools busy. Mildred Hendee is perceived to sally forth upon the streets of Royal Center. She is the belle of that town. Amelia Heppe and Ruth Tucker have had interesting lives. The former is seen as a bee specialist and the latter as manager of a dog kennel. I see Pat Truman wading about in swamps carrying a pickling jar in one hand and a microscope in the other-all for the sake of science. Marian Taylor and GenevaiSanders are studying art in New York. Critics are quite complimentary and praise their work. Bonnie G. Smith has been the successful manager of a modern chicken farm. Her chickens and the other products are well known. Rosa Lee Hirst is the next who steps upon the stage. She is a hair dresser. She has formed a partnership with Catherine Rose, who is a beauty specialist. Evelyn Posey is a doctor's assistant. Bernard Streets is a successful doctor in Kentucky. Page Twenty-nine L s
