X ff! ,fxxxl THE PROPHECYXOF THE SENIOR CLASS OF IQJB As I set there waiting-for the stroke of genius to strike, I fell usleepg and us I slept I dreamed this dream. I wss paying u visit to that celestial city which lies beyond. I had died of thnt terrible mnludy, spring fever. In this city I set upon L lofty hill from which I wus permitted to view ull scenes on earth. The lives und accomplishments of people were unrolled before me es if by magic. I wus enabled to see ull, know ull, prophesy ull. I ndturclly looked up my former schoolmctes, the Seniors of the Cldss of '38. My uttention wus called to u scene in Bruzil. I suw u broad-shouldered msn with un dir of authority supervising the construction of a large dam. In an attractive bungalow nearby I saw a little women con- tentedly going about her duties as housewife and two sturdy youngsters playing in the yard. I recognized these people as those whom I had known as Billy Caldwell and Frances O'Daniel. The scene chsnged. I viewed a beautiful home in the suburbs of s smell but thriving cityl In the liv- ing room of this house listening with greet enjoyment to the program of Americe's most pcpulsr comedians, nbumbelln Jones end 'Pugn Johnson, wee Marion Thompsonn now the wife of the President of Model Milling Com hnya I was permitted to visit u greet publishing company. Sested behind the desk in the president's office was Boyd Webb interviewing the famous novelist, nvelyn Keil. As I walked out I recognized the office boy to be none other than Julien Venn. What could this next scene be? It is n gathering of wonwn, furmer's wives. As I drew necrer I sew Nell Daniels, now u matron discussing the problems of chicken culture with my old classmntes Lurlene Burger, Wustel Fene Ccsey, Bessie Cary, Inez Volner, Audrey Gurmsny, Corinne lcMinn, and Mary Sempson. I stayed long enough to recognize the county demonstrutor to be Helen Stinson. -
