Senior Class Prophecy By RUTH PORTER. MOMENCE HIGH SCHOOL age 18 After graduating, the different members of the Senior Class soon left Momence to follow different careers. Harold, who was worn out from the presidential duties of the class, was going to travel over the country and take life easy for a while. Judging from the naps which he took in school, the class said he needed the rest. While in New York, he visited Tarrytown, where, like Rip Van Winkle, he became lost in the mountains and lying down to rest, fell asleep. He slept for fifteen years. Of course, upon awakening, he naturally thought of the members of his class. After much time and trouble, he succeeded in finding them. Marian was a famous lawyer. Her argumentative ability brought her many difficult cases. Grace, who had been Marian’s stenographer, had resigned as she was about to leave on a tour of the world. Willabele, a hopeless old maid, was running a ten cent store in Momence. She was making much money and would soon be able to retire. Willa was superintendent of the New Momence High School, of which Lawrence Renstrom was principal. They had worked out an excellent system of education, whereby school was in session only in the forenoon and pupils al¬ ways knew their lessons. Edith was now a missionary in China. The natives admire her very much. Dorothy and Robert were movie stars. They were out in California working out a play which would be the greatest picture production of the world. Lon Keller and Lawrence Benjamin are living in Wash¬ ington, D. C. They have received a fortune from the gov¬ ernment for the invention of their “Trioplane” which brought militarism to a close. Lucy, who had inherited a large fortune, went abroad after the war and spent thousands in helping the war sufferers. Norma surprised everyone by becoming a Quakeress. She lives in Watseka. Evelyn married the fellow who sat across from her at night school. They live in Chicago. Alfred Schneider owns a “Packard Twelve” and spends his time driving over the country selling “Larkin’s Products.” Belle is teaching school in Montana. Florence is the traveling companion of a wealthy lady. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Horsc ' h have just returned from their honeymoon, which was spent abroad. Alfred be¬ comes a poet. In his “Class Eulogy” he immortalizes the Class of T8. 16—(When cooking) Haste Makes paste.
