the lawyers to a tall, plump woman with a gracious smile beside whom is standing a man—also plump but not tall. Of course these latter could be no one but our dear old Gladys O. and —?—. They are receiving the guests of their dinner party in their beautiful home near Chicago. Now 1 am witnessing a scene on a street corner of a large city. Adolph Christensen, a prominent political leader is talking to another man of high standing in political circles. He seems a very eloquent speaker for he waves his arms, shakes his fist under his companions nose, and draws a small pad from his pocket demonstrating statistics; but the quarrel cannot be settled with words so the two resort to blows. Curtis Hunt now appears on the scene. He is dressed in a blue uniform with brass buttons down the front and a star on his chest. His chin was set in a more determined way t,han ever and his sharp eyes seem to see everything He soon sees what the trouble is, separates the two, and escorts them to the police station for disturbing the peace. Now, in the place of the busy street there appears a wide and greatly disturbed ocean. In the ocean there is a ship which seems about to be swallowed by the angry waves, and the rocky coasts are near; but at the helm, there stands a man who is equal to the emergency. Kennison Hewitt, the pilot, is giving orders in a calm and collected manner and we know that the ship will be saved if it is in the power of man to save it. The pictures are gradually fading, but the crystal globe has one more scene to reveal. There is a large ampitheater in front of which is a large stage, brilliantly lighted. A small girl dressed in light blue tights with pretty silver frills about her waist is performing on the high trapeze at the center of the stage. She is a very active little body and her audience is very enthusiastic over her performances. Of course any one would know this person to be the Ruby Mohr of our class. The picture, crystal globe, and all, have faded; and 1 sit alone in my apartment. The clock points to seven which is time to go to work and I must leave my dreams and visions to take up the role which life has presented to me. —C. F. L. Russell asked to name 5 words and define: Receiver—Rent Collector. Loud Speaker—Pa, when ma bought a new dress. Earth—What a golfer hits instead of ball. Ohm—Best place in cold weather. Buzzer—The political candidate. Prof.— Your answer is as clear as mud.” Hazel— Well, that covers the ground doesn't it?

cfhe Alarm Senior Class Prophecy I IN THIS YEAR OF 1931 as I look into the crystal globe as it is slowly turning I see the class of '26 as they are today. Some of the faces have remained much the same but in others the lines of care or sorrow have deep ened; their characters have been strengthened by the experiences through which they have passed; some have lost their sunny smile of other years but none of them have lost their look of determination—the determination to overcome all obstacles to gain the goal which they have set before them—which was always a characteristic of the class of '26. I see Hasel Nelson on the stage before an audience of thousands. Perhaps she has learned some of the hard truths which experience teaches all of us, but she goes through her performance with a confident air, gives her audience a sunny smile and disappears from the stage, a prolonged applause following her departure. I next see Cyril Deitz as a prominent business man in New York. His body has taken on a slight fleshiness as a result of heavy meals and lack of exercise, and he sets, with a self-satisfied air, in a large swivel chair, his thumbs tucked under the armholes of his vest as he converses with an employee. With a wave of his hand he dismisses his visitor who bows as to a man of great consequence, and departs. The scene changes, and I see a sick-room. A pale, lean man is lying on the bed and a nurse is bending over him. One would recognize the nurse at once as Bessie Hansen, although her cheeks are pale and there are dark rings under her eyes as a result of sleepless nights. And one can see by her actions about the room that she is a capable nurse and is not doing her work merely for the salary. 1 now see a farm house. Elmer Raabe walks up the walk with a suitcase in his hand, speaks flatteringly to the lady of the house, kisses the baby, gives the dog a pat, and displays his article—a noiseless alarm clock! He soon walks away, having secured one more victim. A small but cozy studio now appears, with a mellow light shining through the skylights. A tall man stands by the piano with a small wand in his hand, directing a young lady in her first vocal attempts. One would hardly recognize in this man, with a long beard and hair that hangs to his shoulders, the Arthur Neahring of our school days. Once more the picture fades and we are introduced into a large court room. The room is packed with crowds breathless, and eager to hear every word. The defendant sits looking toward his lawyer, his face drawn with misery—there seems little hope for him; but his lawyer, a small, excited man, with curly hair and snapping blue eyes (the Russell of our class), stamps his feet, pounds the desk with his fists and even sheds tears, pleading the cause of his client. The audience changes to a small group of society leaders; the judge and + Page Twenty-two
