Page 14 The Monesse The Faculty On© clay while reclining in an easy chair I amused myself conjuring pictures in air, I saw the future—a few years hence, Around me circled the teachers of old Momence. With idle fancy I fell asleep And dreamed a dream peculiarly deep. A white ship dropped anchor near Swiftly in my dream self without fear I walked? the deck of this white ship, ‘Destiny I heard an unseen lip Call out her name. ‘Destiny that wonder ship of fame. But what of her passengers and crew Of whom there seemed to be so few? As I sauntered along the sparkling deck, Looking here, searching there, craning my neck, I came at last to a man at thei wheel; I advanced a step closer and began to feel That I had known this man before. Ahd just as I moved from my place So as to see plainer his face, He shouted, ‘What’ This! ! !’ in my ear. With that shout, vanished all doubt. My Memory became instantly clear, Intuition and experience said, ‘Mr. Munson is near ’ About this time fragrant odors my nostrils assailed My stomach its hollowness loudly bewailed. Upon an open door at my left or north would be better Was printed the word, “GALLEY ’ in large, gxdden letters, I put my head through the opening, what a sight met my eyes. There stood Miss Coontz baking cornbread and pies. Recovering somewhat I explored some more Until I discovered another door. Half afraid, half in awe I looked into this cavernous maw. Lo and Behold!! At a desk I had seen before Stood Miss Hardy teaching English II, III and IV. Reconciled now as to the feebleness of my mind I was about to walk on and find what I could find. When my attention was arrested by shouts and laughter near I whirled around, my eyes belching fear. Down the deck came a group of girls, Miss Palmer in the lead Chattering apd laughing having a great time indeed, They were taking a ten mile hike you see, But having no land must take it at sea. Excited no more by the sights that I saw I will of each for you a clear picture draw. In, the first to which I came surrounded by globes, telescopes and flowers Stood Mr. Hungerford teaching a science class the meaning of magnetic powers “Steger has something else than pianos ’—Bernice Martin
