IWW! THE Hoop Potc IMVHEI The Class Prophecy For I dipt into the future far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be. Extra! Extra! Excavation of tomb! was the cry of the newspaper boys on every corner of the busy Broadway of Mt. Vernon in the year 4823. Everyone on this particular afternoon had purchased a paper. Glanc- ing over the headlines l read- Tomb thought to be that of a well-known citizen of Mt. Vernon. This seemed very interesting so I read further. A new chapter opens in the romantic story of one of the Mt. Vernonites who is expected to be none other than one of the early presidents of the United States, Charles Theodore Rowe. Interesting were the scenes that attended the entry into the hitherto un- explored chamber. People wondered how the tomb was excavated as no one had any idea that one existed in this unknown place, but the story goes on in a later edition: ,' About six tishermen having their nets set at Hagemann's Rocks, a crowded section of the city, recognized several interesting inscriptions on a stone at the water's edge. They managed to decipher one of the inscrip- tions, Let us be seen by our deeds. The stone led the tishermen to believe that there was something underneath so they, with the aid of three other men, pushed away the rock. Very much to their surprise they noticed a door leading to a very dark chamber. The investigators after breaking the seals of the door made their way into a chamber, and flashed their electric torches upon a great tomb in which the ancient body had rested for over two thou- sand years. Daily, while millions of dollars worth of royal treasures are being car- ried from the newly opened tomb, scientists have agreed the treasures are that of a long forgotten school. Bejeweled ornaments, ancient arts and priceless musical instruments are being collected for the museums all over the world, from this tomb. Here are some of the most notable of the hun- dreds of articles already taken from the chamber: Records of a graduation class of 1923, priceless beads and earbobs, trousers decorated with bells, buttons and richly embroidered material, fan- tastic squares of silk, a cello, two violins, a saxophone, and a hoop-pole with twelve floating streamers of bright colored ribbon. Most conspicuous among these gay ribbons are long streamers of purple and silver. Already our fair readers are visualizing themselves in gowns of these beautiful colors. 'tThe examination was prolonged as the men found several steps lead- ing from one corner down about ten feet to another depth. ln the center of a small room was found a very important article, at least from its conspicu- ousness it seemed so. This was recognized to be some sort of a printing Page Thirty
