M ZIOE3=2ZXE3Z3J=ni3E30: Freshman Prophecy By MARY LOUISE ANDERSON b It was just before the opening of school in the fall of the year c that a number of us girls were spending the day at the fair. Some- £ body brought up the question of what she would be doing four or five jo years from then, and as there was a tent nearby with the name h “Sorceress” painted in large imposing letters upon the canvas, we F decided to go in and see what the future held for us. When our turn came (for there were many who were in doubt and were anxious to know what was in store for them), she looked thoughtfully in her globe and after some meditation she said: “Girls, I see you all, all of your Freshman Class established as a colony for the purpose of escaping from the world. “I see Willie Conrad a splendid Mayor; Catherine and Blanche Peterson as dairy maids; Lucile Sharkey, Dorothy Zahl and Mary Louise Van Kirk are teachers in a school for classical dancing. Ruby Bright is principal of your main school, of which Albert Hunte is janitor. The bakery shop is handled by two capable young ladies, Pearl Deliere and Lelia Harms. Warren Gray and Elno Smith have interests in the theatre of the colony. Genevieve Wilson and Florence Busch are enthusiastic young milliners, selling hats at respectable prices. Clarence Jones sits behind a pulpit and views his congregation with great serenity. Walter Scott I see as a jitney driver and makes great records, considering his conveyance. Rolland Lanoue and George Searles are your farmers and can well supply you with the necessities of life. Andrew Kinney, Albert Bydalek and William Por¬ ter are your body guards, protecting the colony from any intruders. Helen Fox and Vernetta Johnson can supply the colony with beautiful flowers any time, for they own and operate a large conservatory. Ethel Hunt is an orator who speaks in a large hall owned by Charles O’Connell, who sits in idleness, having much real estate. Clara Bydalek and Hazel Hanson are operating a department store and can supply you with everything that you happen to be in need of. Paul Sweeney owns a bank, and business is first-rate.” We were well satisfied with this knowledge concerning our future occupations and, after paying our fees, left for other amusements. 1 1 u ? r o i i r ? r o om m . rir u ?r ?r ? r ?r)
