!E3aniEzi5ziizzii3o: Senior Class Prophecy o By RUTH JOHNSON None of our class had become famous. It really was a shame. At least one out of the graduated classes before us had gained fame in some line or other. We were all rather heartsick when we met again for the third time at the alumni banquet but we made up our minds that we were going to accomplish this, so after the banquet Gladys called a meeting to decide what it should be. Many topics were dis¬ cussed but not until Jack suggested that we settle the peace question in Europe, did we become satisfied that this would be just what the class of ’17 was capable of doing. After much arguing and planning it was decided that we should sail for ' Europe on the good ship “Minne¬ haha” a week from the day of the banquet. Exactly a week later, every member of the class was on board the ship. We knew that to avoid confusion in our great work we should each take a part which we were best fitted for. Vivian had worked in a drug store once upon a time and probably knew a little about drugs, so he was elected doctor. He got a little practice by amputating the legs of all cats and dogs on board. Lucy and Martina had always wanted to be nurses and we thought this would be as good a way as any to start them so we had them amuse themselves by making new uniforms. We had to have speakers to go before the courts and kings, so Florence and Lulu were delegated that duty. Lulu would get on one end of the ship and Florence on the other and they would try to see which could talk the loudest. Ray was not a bad soldier, as once he had visited a military academy for a couple of days, so he was our scout to learn the conditions on the battlefield. Every day he practiced marching and focusing a telescope. Anna and Ellen took it upon them¬ selves to help the suffering women and children. They sat all day long crocheting caps and mittens. One day Gladys mentioned something about having an aviator as it would be helpful in so many ways. She saw Jack nearly fall overboard so she knew he was dying to have the job, and he got it. He spent most of his time on board fitting on his new aviation suit which the captain had given him. We were all in rather poor health after such a dreadful rush to get ready in a week so we had Dorothy Durham as our physical culture instructress. The hurry and worry had not seemed to effect her as much as the others. Every morning from nine until ten, with no ex¬ ception, we took exercises to gain strength for the great work. The Lasky Film company had given us a moving picture camera and ten films to take pictures of the life in Europe, Mildren Hayden had the running of this. She used up one film on Jack in his new suit, o
