JUNIOR CLASS PROPHECY BY MAUDE HUPP. Y life as a nurse in a Yew York hospital had been a very busy one for the last eighteen years and I never had a chance to visit my old home, but I often wondered what had become of the members of the Class of 1912. One day, while I was off duty, I chanced to pick up a news¬ paper and noticed the headlines, “Jean Bigelow, the World’s Most Famous Suffragette, will speak in the Auditorium to¬ night. ” I decided at once to go and have a heart-to-heart talk with my old classmate as in days gone by. I met her after the lecture and after a hearty greeting she told me she had re¬ cently visited Momence, and had seen or heard of all our class¬ mates and would be glad to tell me of them. The people of Momence now listen to the greatest Catholic priest in the world, with the possible exception of the Pope, George Bukowski, the successor to Father Labrie. Leona Hoag is labeling pickle bottles in a thriving factory in Wichert. The most successful farmers in Kankakee county are El- wyn Bradley and his wife, formerly Mary Clark. They reside on a farm north of Momence. Our class has representatives in the remotest parts of the world. Helen Melby is now a missionary in the wilds of Africa. Harry Seavey is stirring the hearts of all Europe with the tones of his violin. One of the science teachers of the new township High School is Anthony Parish and he has recently discovered a new source from which man originated. Almost any day in the week Effie Lundstrom may be seen riding up and down the streets of Momence on a truck wagon. Effie has decided to be an old maid and has made herself and friends famous by producing the best vegetables grown for miles around. A roller skating rink in the Opera House is conducted by Walter DuBridge. Momence is proud to boast of one of the greatest lawyers the world has ever produced in Wayne Allen. On the headlines of the Momence Press-Beporter may be seen— Arthur Carlson, Editor. Bagnhild Jensen wanders from one town to another and judging by her appearance she has joined the Salvation army. Her chum, Florence West, is a stenogg- rapher in the Illinois Trust Savings Bank of Chicago. Gladys Zahl long ago changed her name, and she and her hus¬ band are at present camping on the Iroquois river. So she ended her story, and as I rode home my spirits arose for I realized that a more brilliant career will never be ob¬ tained by any other class.
