Class Prophesy 'll yVERY one must plan for the future and I find that each one has ( thoughtfully chosen his future course. You’d he surprisd to hear f about our mild Agnes Lampe. It was announced that she is to be lead-8 ing lady in the Follies this coming year. Agnes Thane, whose greatest ambition was to be a Spanish teacher, has succeeded. No es verdad Ser.orita? Mary Alstnau expected to spend her days washing dishes hut we were sure she would charge her mind, she is now head nurse at St. Joseph’s hospital. Stella Cagle’s highest ambition was to he able to play the piano like Rubenstein. The outcome was a success. Rosalie Chauvin’s wish is to get the right one. No use saying his name; we all know. Burdette Beane thinks life would be bliss, if the time would come when women voted and earned the living while men did the cooking and house work. But as he never expected to see that day, he has only aspired to be a gardner at the County Infirmary. Hilda McDaniel wanted to he a Latin teacher. We have extended our sympathy to her pupils. Helen Glass is now a private secretary. We all wish her luck. We were surprised at Robert Lay. He has climbed to the topmost ladder of fame by writing poetry. Wonder who that certain party was that gave him such inspirations? Evelyn Neff’s highest aim was to starve, and she is a “Kitchen Mechanic” of course she succeeded. Aretas Evans has become a suffragette and makes stump speeches securing votes for women. Spence Kidd’s heart desire was to inherit wealth but he is now a civil engineer. Robert Fitch has become a book agent. He had a great deal of experience selling “Annuals” while in M. C. H. S. Reha Martin was thinking seriously about being a nurse, but it was too much work, and she is new a Fortune Teller. Helen Reamcs wanted to he a millionaire’s wife or a I'rima Dona—it made no difference which, and she succeeded in both. You may look for Aileene Montgomery out in Red-Mud District teaching the little folks their “A. B. C’s”. Now it is understood that Zula Stokes wanted to he Governor of Illinois or a kindergarten teacher; hut it is to our opinion that she is now holding housework for a family of two. Opal Gurley, our modest little classmate. has won many prizes for the best gum ‘Chewer’ in Metropolis. Virginia McGinnis is to be a Home Economic teacher at Illinois. That will probably explain why all of the boys will he interested in housework. Alberta Miller’s picture was in the Gregg Writer last mor.th. She has worked up . )'
