It was of a well'dressed banker walking down a street. I finally saw his face and' it was none other than Wilbur Long, Jr. I decided that I would hold two leaves to the sun to see what would happen. At first nothing appeared, and then a darling little bungalow with a vine-covered porch came to my view. I saw Lilly Cromer on the porch talking to someone. As I caught a glimpse behind the vines, I saw Kathleen Gilliam, the famous actress, who was visiting Lilly and her husband. I was very surprised at the next picture, for I saw Grady Price as a great scientist. was demonstrating some very startling experiments, which he had just completed. As the next leaf was held up, I instinctively knew that I would see a celebrated author. I did! and it was Cecil Abrams. I saw another picture. too, and it was of Summer Wise leaving his ofiice of the Wise Publishing House. It seems that Summer is printing and publishing Cecil's latest book. ' Although I had thought that Ruby Banks would settle down and maybe teach, I was very much mistaken, for I saw her rushing to work. She is somebody's stenog and is very soon to become his private secretary. ' V I next saw a very large hospital. It was a new enterprise, but had already become a great success under the leadership of Dr. Johnson Hagood Clary. Parnell Oxner was bustling about asserting her authority, for she is head nurse. The next picture told mehthat three more of the girls had gone back to their Alma Mater. Maude Bledsoe, Helen Lominack and Sara Stone were teaching domestic art and science at New- berry High.

He urged us ever to lead on forward and higher to that next goal CI four years ahead: yet he warned us of the dangers which would come to us sooner or later. Q m We found the first section of our journey rather difficult. It became necessary for us to Q 21 ' sharpen the dull knives in order that we might cut even to the seeds of this new Latin apple 3 H which we carried as food. The outside part was very bitter with declensions and conjugations, -I but thehcenter was much better. The first hill which lay before us was steep and rough, but E E with the fellow scouts and guides we managed to get over. A few unfortunate ones stopped to Q gig lounge under the Tree of Laziness, or to sit on the stump of Non-Ambition. Beyond we saw bl three more mountains. In the valley below we pitched our camp for three months. M Q Now well marked by years of hardships, we crossed the sparkling stream of Don't Give E ,I Up and marched up the valley where we saw our boys win the district championship in basket- Q 5 ball. At this point the winding path of Knowledge led us through the briars of Quadratic Q I Equations. Again and again we were forced to drink of the spring 'of Perseverance to regain the 'Q 5 ambition which we were about to lose. Finally the sqmmit of the second hill was gained. a E Across the hill, we rested in camp for three months, refreshing our weary minds for the Q next lap of the journey. L S: This path was not 'as rough as the previous ones. The roughest place on this path was 6 the great stumbling block of Geometry, but with very hard digging and the directions of the ' R m guides this was removed. At the top of the hill we reached the Merry Singing branch which Q' helped to lighten the load. When we scouts had gone only half way we found the way almost a M paved. for the circumstances were much better on account of the equipment of the new school. Q 5 This was an incentivelfor us to work harder and keep up our struggle untilthe end. Finally a 3 the bottom of the third hill was reached and here we pitched camp again for a three months' W 1 rest. One of the guidestook the path of Matrimony during the rest and the scoutmaster had Q C I to search for another. in U 2 After the rest, the scouts and guides started on the last path of the journey, the '5Senior Q 5 Path. Since many of the scouts had decided not to tough it out another year, they went to E 6 summer school and to college. Others remained under the Tree of Laziness. This journey was 3 3 the easiest of the four-the roads were better and the journey was coming to an end. The great m 51 prize at the top of the hill was Diploma, which made every one of us march faster and with S S1 better spirits. At last we arrived at the goal. which would never have been reached had it not Q dl been for the carefully selected guides. For their advice and help we scouts will always bear the I5 r deepest appreciation. Y EE Cl g 2, 9 F6 53 ..

N-E 1 The twenty-first leaf showed me Charles Bowers. He certainly looked happy and con- tented, and he had reason to, for he is owner and editor of one of the largest papers of the day. It is rumored that his fortune is fast passing the million mark. I also saw Charles' society editor, I4 who is Ruth Feagle. She is one of the best newspaper women there is, and therefore much in F, demand. As I sat dreaming over the happiness the last leaf had shown me, I unconsciously picked up pg another one. There was Ruby Lee Livingston in one of the most fashionable shops in Paris. .4 Of course she had a French name but just the same, she is the best mannequin there. IW. Gracious! Margaret Fuller in Congress? As I saw her using her power onthe members M of that body, I remembered her convincing powers in high school days. No wonder that she .V- 'has just been reiilected. Q I After finishing high school, Grifiin Coleman took an engineering course. I saw him, in S South America, demonstrating his ability and efficiency as an engineer and in general proving 3 a great help to his government. 3 As we all expected, Arthur Welling is one of Hollywood's foremost directors! I saw , him having lunch with his leading lady just before the beginning of his greatest picture. 4 I saw next a white-capped nurse walking briskly down a corridor in one of the largest :iz hospitals in New York. It was Pauline Clary, who had realized her ambition of being head Q nurse. 2 Walter Neel, our class president, came next to my view. He was not a president, but was 1 seated in the Governor's chair in Columbia. He was leisurely talking with one of his friends. l'b The next picture was Innis Mims and Nell Lane. They were leaving their fashionable shop on Fifth Avenue. They had made rapid progress and the shop was patronized by all the ig socially elite. ' 3 In the next leaf, I saw Eltas McGraw in her studio in Philadelphia. She is one of the fg leading photographers there, and is wonderfully successful in her work. .4 When I gazed upon the next picture, I saw a large, modern ranch in the foothills of the Ik Rockies. A cloud of dust approaching proved to be two men on horses. One was Elisha Abrams, the owner of the ranch, and his visitor, Arthur Wertz, a very successful farmer. They L were discussing farm relief. 2 We all knew Mildred I-lipp was interested in athletics. I saw her with a group of girls W going to gym class. She is physical director at Winthrop. 5 Next I saw Larry Smith, a most celebrated lawyer. He had just won the case of a beautiful divorcee. 2 On the thirty-sixth leaf I saw Elizabeth Boylston, adding the profits from her recent novel. 1 She had a very pleased look on her face. 1: As I picked up the last leaf to read it, the sun sank behind a cloud. At the same instant a 5: puff of wind blew the leaf into a stream of water. As the leaf was carried away by the water, I 5' realized that I could not know my own future. Nevertheless, I was satisfied to know that all my classmates were happy and successful. 3 I o .S lb -.5 T ID 5 If ' lab Page Thirty-one 2 ' ' 'r' ' ' ' ! !r'i':'i'rx'ri! ! 'Q' 'rw' ' !
