Senior Prophecy Secretnri of Mill. saps Colletje, Jacksun, Miss. June 5, 1924. Dkar Sir : I received your letter asking for inforniation of my class — tliat of 191 i. I must confess that it was hard to find out much about the class. I searched in the New York World, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Jackson Daily News — but in vain. I have sought diligently in all the cross-road papers, and by various other means J Iiave ascertained the salient facts of their haunts, liabitats, and occupations. Some of the records were somewhat surprising, but most of them have continued, more or less, in the habits and characterist ics they displayed at college. Brumfield, it seems, is establishing a very fine record in law. He is getting along very well in almost every resjject, even financially, in spite of the fact that he has been married some two or three years. Presumably Ott can out-argue his wife. A very interesting career is that of J. B. Cain, formerlv recognized at Millsaps as some social-stunter. He is known very widely as the autlior of Social-.Stunting and How To Do It. In the preface to the book, he states that he regrets tliat he ever iield that there w;is no sucli thing as love. Kid is fast catching on and has almost learned Iiow to take a hint. ,Iolin ' right Chisholm is an evangelist in the country-districts. Bearing a ))onderous dignity, he is making a great success. They say that money can ' t help but come his way, and some of his collections would make Billy Sunday look like tiiirty cents. Eventually, I think he will succeed in bringing cosmos out of chaos. T. jM. Cooper has made tours all over the known world in quest of geological specimens. On one trip he went into the Crater of Vesuvius. Wliile there, an eruption started in the Archeozoic region and came up through the Proterozoic, P.ileozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoie. S])ri)ut w.is blown two miles, six hundred seventy-two feet, four and five-sevenths inches above liase level. He insists, how- ever, that he has not yet experienced anything hotter than the fire at the Main Building in 1911. S. L. Crockett has recently been exiielled from the Senate Chamber in Wash- ington for hollering and disturbing the peace on Pennsylvania Avenue at night. He is back home now. making n hot race for Notary Public, with the aid of his wife and all the other suflragettes. We feel sure that etc will eome out victorious in this, so great a race. Nolan Harmon has charge of a work in Louisiana. The people on his charge seem to like him well, having all faith in everything he says, and believing that he knows everything. From this blindness may they be speedily delivered. Hathorn is pros])ering as a lawyer in Wanilla. He has succeeded in running almost all the other cheap lawyers out of bis conununity. Perhaps it is his senti- mentality that enables him to clear negroes, as fast as they steal, for half tlie sum of what they steal. Donald Howe, better known as Doc, has discovered some important steps in connection with wireless telegraphy and telephony. We were sorry to learn that he accidentally killed his wife by the explosion of chemicals in his laboratory, which was directly underneath the kitchen. After having buried all of her that he could find, Old Frau is doing his best to overcome the catastrophe. 23
