Class Prophecy of the Graduating Class of February, 1919 Fellow classmates of the class of February 1919, it is with great pleasure that .l have written this prophecy. It has been written in the spirit of jest, and I hope that it will be taken in that spirit. Feeling tired from a hard day 's work, I drifted on to Merrill 's wharf to watch the boats pass up and down the river. WVhile intently watching, the ferry came across. The thoughts of schoolmates of days gone by soon put my mind into thoughts of future days. The following is what I imagined. I The great and venerable Father Time appeared to me in the form of a soldier hero, and as he came across the stream in the Fairhaven Ferry, the bands played, t'Hail, hail, the gangis all here. The ferry came in with such force that it knocked Abe Wolf, the gate-tender, into the foaming waters of the mighty Acushnet, where he took his annual bath. A great reception was planned, and it was at this reception that Father Time asked if I would like to .take a world tour in his airplane. I accepted his offer and we made plans for it immediately. After getting things in readiness, we left the roof of the High School, traveling north to the city of Freetown, finding our friend Ralph Gurney on his 3,000 acre farm raising chickens ,A Che was fond of them even in schoolj. After a short chat with Ralph, we continued to Boston, to take in a classical dancing exhibition on the Boston Common, given by Ruth Bailey and Neva Cowden. There was such a large crowd there that it was hard to view the eperformanee. Getting our tanks filled with petrol, we wired to Yetta Halperin, a manufacturer of folding tin umbrellas and folding brown derbys in Springiield, that we expected to land in her drome about 6 o'clock. Here we spent a couple of hours talking over old times, and then continued to Mineola, where we .decided to spend a day looking up friends in the metropolis. Iieaving our machine on Long Island, we went-to New York and while crossing Broadway we were greeted by a voice from an automobile, which proved to be that of Dr. Cthilia Vieira. i , She was consulting physician for a trans-Atlantic steamship company, and was on her way to visit Esther Wollison, a proiililiienf Sllfffege leader' After scrambling into Cthilia's flivver, and whisking around Several streets, we stopped at Esther7s home on Fifth Avenue, where we were given a great reception. Cn the way back we stopped el? the Fourmer Cafe, and dined as Har-vey's guest. Leaving Mineola, we landed in Washingto-11, calling upon Hon., Louis Grover, a senator elected on the prohibition ticket. He took us to interview Olive IWIISOH, P1'1Vete secretary of the ambassador of Ireland. From Vifashington, we pro- ceeded to Philadelphia and were surprised to see that Richard Cook s Circus was in town. We went to see' Dick, and he gelfe US eemphmeetefy tickets for the show, telling us to be on the look-out for any of our fr1eI1ClS Who might be in the circus. It was a fine show. The first number 25

While sitting in the gf-and stand, we heard a voice that seemed familiar. Father Time looked around to see who it was and almost fainted .when he saw Warren Burt selling pop-corn and peanuts. Warren was shouting, '4What is a cire without a bag of peanuts. us Next stop was at Chicago, where we went to have f by Eva Cohen.
