There he stood wit a long, white beard half covering his face and n staff held high above Clifford's head, Suddenly he began to speak: I have wandered far, have visited many places looking for an ideal school, and an ideal Senior class. At last I found one. The power of the gods is in my hands. Ask what you will and it shall be granted. We all sut astounded for n few seconds, then Fay, jumping to her feet, cried: Oh, let him tell our fortunes. The old man bowed low and steppnig to the center of the room asked that we come, one at a time, to him, and he would tell us what fate held for each of the class of '27. He took from his pocket a small lobe. You see, he said, I carry the world in my pocket. Only those who are truly worthy of it ever see this small sphere. ' Since Clifford was president, he was asked to step forward. The old man gave him the globe, which he held in his hand for a few seconds. Then the old man held it up to the light, and gazing intently at it, said in a low but steady voice: . Clifford Wills, you will enter the world of invention. Your success will be assured through the invention of an automobile, which is steered by nreans of a foot-lever. A very handy invention for the modern young man. Ruth Sugden was the next to hear her fortune. My dear young lady, you will occupy the highest office of the United States government. What a boost for the Meridian High and the Class of '27l Ruth resumed her seat with a sigh of relief while Willie Hansen came slowly forward.

Fay hurried to her seat, and Ina was next to appear before the old man. Will Hurshel Ellis please come forward?
