Class Prophecy. TIIK DRAMA OK LIFE. “All the world’s a stage And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time piays many parts.’ You are now in the theater of life and upon the stage you will see enacted before ott the part which the individuals of this class of 22 are to play in years to come, in the drama of life. Wander with us into the realms of imagination and picture the setting of one of these acts. The scenery is that of the native land of Scotland with its rocky crags, mountains and castles old. Before the archway of one of these artistic castles. we discern a figure near the lattice work. We are startled; the figure looks familiar, and as it enters the foreground of the stage we recognize our classmate— Lady Lenore. Having been acquainted with some of her early friends, we do not wonder who has transported her to the native land of Bobby Burns. The curtain falls. When it rises again, we have before us a second scene which is far different from the first. Who is the man advancing towards us? He appears to ns as a native of the Philippines. We cannot place him until he runs his hand through his crimpy black hair and we see in his hand a pink celluloid comb. It is .Joe Smith. Perhaps an explanation is needed. Joe's school day ambition was to become a preacher. lie has realized his dream and has become an ardent missionary of the tropic lands. Presently another figure advances to the foreground. It is a woman and she is dressed becomingly in a white dress and holds a parasol over her head. Who can this charming young woman be? We recognize her. our friend Livia Sehaettle. She has been cruising about the Southern Seas in her private yacht. Livia, you temem-ber. had married a very rich old gentleman after her graduation from college and at his death he left her a neat little fortune. Although Joe and Livia had a misunderstanding during early life, this teutron on the island of Luzon, no doubt ended happily. We next see a large printing establish ment over whose door is the sign, “The Household. but why should this be brot to our notice? Next in order is the interior of the building. Various departments are brought to our notice. Perhaps we would leave this in disgust, had not an open door brought into our direct range of vision one of the graduates of the class of 22. Marie Hanley, it seems, was bitterly disappointed in a love affair. As she sits before her desk she appears to be in a deep meditative mood. The sign over the door reads “Matrimonial Bureau. Marie is a successful business woman. He aim is to prevent sorrow from entering the lives of the young girls by telling them her own experience. I lie next presentation is an apartment which we afterward discover is in Boston. It is here that Beryl Luetscher and M ilma I rness reside. The former is a teacher of English, the latter of Mathematics in one of the high schools there. As we are about to leave this scene of domestic happiness another character enters. It is James Anderson, who appears to be taking a vacation from his exacting duties. He is farming on a small scale in Maine. James, being a practical man. combines business with pleasure and is now viewing the wonders of Boston in company with his old classmates. Wilma and Beryl. Another printing establishment is brot to our notice. In one of the offices we see Mike Smith bending over a bestrewn desk, drawing an educational cartoon with great care. This, no doubt, will appear in your local paper. M e shall leave this scene for one of more beauty. Picture the rolling prairies of Montana with the mountains forming a fitting background. On th horizon appears something moving. As it approaches it assumes a definite shape.

It is a horse, and we later recognize the rider as Miss Frances Kappus. Miss Frances has rejected several proposals of marriage and has decided to live in the state of single blessedness, that she may be able to go and come at will, and in general. to do as her conscience dictates. She is the owner of a large ranch and is very happy in her independence. Then we have portrayed to us the “Hippodrome Theater” of New York. People are thronging to the door in an effort to secure tickets for the evening's performance. The billboard in tbe lobby rea ls, “Added Attraction Tonight — Mademoiselle Lucille, the Dainty Little Impersonator and Singer.” In our imagination we enter and seat ourselves, anxiously awaiting Lucille Robinson’s act. When she comes tripping out and gives a clever impersonation and ends with a catchy song, we know that Lucille’s dream has come true. Toot! Toot! We hear the sound of a locomotive down the t:ack and the Midnight Limited rushes into Grand Central Station in a Southern town. A slender, somewhat fastidious man alights. He walks up to the station master and inquires if he has seen a fair young woman with dimples and heavenly eyes of blue, about there. Who can this sentimental person bet Why, it is Cyril Brinkman. He has been east, west, north, and south looking for the dream girl, the subject of one of his themes about whom he wrote in English IV. In a pleasant little valley where the biids are singing and the trees are just beginning to bud, a little white schoolhouse appears to us. Inside its walls we perceive universal order and bright, happy faces. At the desk, a pleasant and competent teacher is revealed to us as Miss llazel Reed. From this refreshing country scene our imagination takes us to a little act all of its own. A polished dancing floor, and in its center we perceive a dapper young man with auburn hair gesticulating wildly and performing many artistic steps. We learn that Joe Ellenberger is the dancing master. He is making his a successful business. Joe has as his assistant Oscar Wergland, who is floor manager and janitor as well. His pianist, a sweet, little damsel, att acts many peep e. She has many suitors among the men who come to learn to trip on the light fantastic toe. Her name is still Margaret Gicse, but if one persistent ex-college man continues in his attentions to her we fear her name will soon be changed. Is our imagination strong enough to picture the land of Japan! An artistic tea roof with the name “Melican Shop” above its doors is bi ought ue.'ore us. We enter and are surprised to see the little miss who advances to meet and welcome all patrons. Marie Quale conducts this tea room foi all American tourists. Ralph Mov, the American ambassador, who is just making a visit in Japan, has been overwhelm (1 with joy to meet so sweet a classmate. A love affair developed. Ralph is going to take her back to Ame -ica after his retirement from public life, which no doubt will occur very soon. Our next presentation : The deep forests of northern Wisconsin. Passing through them we finally come to a beautiful residence. As we exclaim over it and its sur-loundings, a limousine rolls up. Some one alights, and as this tall, stately man is about to enter his home, we have a faint recollection of a tall youth who was with us during our high school days. It is Julius Haughland. After spending some time on his father’s farm, Julius decided to take his chance with fortune. Luck was with him. A1 first, only a lumberman, his fortune gradually increased until he is now the Lumber King of Wisconsin. The scene changes. Picture thousands of people flocking to the grand stand in Madison to view the football game which is to decide the championship between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The battle was hard fought and it was only through the efforts of Arnold Scott, now a professional player, who proved to be the hero of the day, that the game was won for Wisconsin. Mrs. Scott, formerly known to us as Anna Gleason, accompanies her husband. Perhaps it is Anna’s smiling face which encourages and goads Arnold on to victory. We have an ideal setting for a love nest. A picturesque little town is brought to our notice. The Mississippi rushes past,
