• MMSNS%3KS!2ii MANJUAN i ®!P13S3RS«»9 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY After ten years of exhaustive scientific work I had decided to take a vacation and visit my old High School town. I had just discovered the code to the wireless messages from Mars, and the publicity was more exhaustive than work. I had packed and was ready to start, when the butler announced that there was an important man to see me. I asked him to show the man in. It was a man who wished to take a picture of my apparatus for a Ford animated weekly. During the course of our conversation I learned that he had attended Manlius High School in Illinois. To my surprise 1 discovered he was Bill Folk. Bill had changed much in ten years: he was an enterprising young man, now full of ambition. He was still single and believed in showing the girls a good time. As I was settling myself in the passenger airplane I met Arthur Williams. Right off the bat he tried to sell me a non-freezing solution to put in my gasoline to keep it from freezing. I finally had to buy a couple of gallons of him. As I conversed with him he told me of his ups and downs since he left school. He had started the year after he had graduated, in the Upholstered Pillow Co. as a salesman. After working up to a first-class salesman he had been offered a position in the present company and had accepted. Like the sailors he has a girl in every port, and he told me of a couple of beauties he knew. When the plane come down in Princeton I went to a restaurant and was served a meal bv Bertha McMahon. She had married a young man from Sheffield and they were working together for a bungalow. I arrived in Manlius and the old burg hail changed quite a bit. The high school building that was new when I attended was in the center of town. Scott Miller runs a factory in the building. They manufacture noiseless soup spoons. Every winter Scott goes to the Hawaiian Islands. Thete is a new high school out on Lang's hill. Clara Hurst and Martha Anspach are now old maids and teach in the high school. H. I). Holden is still Principal. Clara teaches Mathematics and Martha teaches Domestic Science. Howard Hamilton runs a mule farm out by New Bedford. He married a chorus girl and she left him. He then married a girl from Kewanee and they are living happily. Chas. Krager married a girl from West Bureau and they live on a farm. Chas. is specializing on a new breed of stock, a cross between a cow and a goat. Thyra and Smithy have left the farm and entered Manlius society. I returned to the city in a week greatly refreshed in mind and body. One night 1 happened to think 1 hadn't heard about Dutch or Antoinette. One day I picked up a paper and read that Dutch had changed from Northwestern to Harvard as athletic director. About a month later I met Antoinette in a department store. She was the Paris buyer for the style department. PAGE EIGHTEEN
