I couldn't imagine what it was, nor could I find any plausible explaination as to how it could have gotten there. When the Sand Man finally over- came me, I had this bowl on my mind, and as a result, I dreamed I was a crystal gazer. Gazing into the crystal, the first scene that I saw was an auto wreck, and though I could hardly convince my- self it was true, there was Dr. Robert Bruce rendering first aid to the injured and assisting him was his compe- tent helper, Miss Helen Wagner. Looking at the sign-post, I saw that this terrible accident had occurred at Broadway and 42nd street in the large city of Milton Center. The scene then changed to one of the worst places on earth--a schoolroom. This was not so bad though, as it was a School of Matrimony. Imagine my surprise, when I saw two people at the front of the room I was sure I knew. Yes, it was the teacher, Miss Kathleen Corfman Cvery ex- perienced in her linej and one of her new students, Miss Bernice Edwards. Kathleen was explaining to Bernice how the school, I looked deeper into the crystal and she might pay her tuition to the school by selling maga- gine subscriptions. Looking over the class room, I found some more of my classmates at an advanced age. There was Donald Moor, who had replaced the late Florenz Zeigfield in the production of the Follies, and this caused him to be the leading att- raction in the class room. There was Theone Reimer,who very well fit her present position, being very forceful and effective as a Ten-Cent Store Detective. Across from her sat Evelyn Junkins, who was pursuing a mechanical line in addition to this schooling Notic- ing somewhat of a disturbance on the sidewalk in front of saw Miss Betty Cody, with her four lovely children, arguing as to whether or not they should go to the Pacific Coast via aeroplane or train. The children finally won out, and they decided to take the plane. On arriving at the field they were approached by a distinguished-looking gentleman, who was passing out Lit- erature relating to cruelty to dumb animals. Lo, and Bc- hold, my former classmate, Carl Meyers. g CWBYQ 4

PROPHECY lCon'tJ Passing on to the plane, I was stunned to see that the stewardess was none other than Miss Dorothy Dowden, and that she had a complete list of passengers. A very forlorn looking person, wearing a heavy black veil turned out to be none other than Agnes Drum- mer. She explained that she was in deep mourning over the death of her poodle dog, Priscilla. The Stewardess asked the passengers not to dis- turb the gentleman seated in the corner, Mr. Herbert Emrick who was working on an automatic Question answer- er, for the relief of High School students, who are of- ten asked embarrassing questions. The scene again changed to an athletic field,where I was amazed to find Miss Miriam Leiendecker demonstrat ing her efficience in the prominent sport of archery, which she had learned through apprenticeship under Prof essor Daniels. A blast of the band in the grandstand, drew my at- tention to its leader, a competent musician, Miss Flor- ence Wagner. She looked very grand in her red, white, and blue uniform. The last scene I observed was the coronation of King Janes, former Duke of Haney, and Queen Marian, Du- chess of Lancaster. It was a gala occasion, and made me envy my two friends, Jim Baumberger, and Marian Ste- fanka. The King was saluting the crowds vigorously with his diamond studded sword, and I viewed it with alarm, as I saw him strike the Oueen's corwn from her head, in his enthusiasm,and knock it into the hands of the Prime Minister. I awoke to find that the noise I had heard when Jim knocked off the Queen's crown, had only been the sound of the crashing of the crystal bowl. I had shoved it off the stand in my sleep, and was greatly relieved to find that I had only been dreaming. ---Dale Richardson
