RAMBLER Senior Class Prophecy I have just returned from a trip to Mars in an air motor, which makes the round trip daily with no stopovers. I was accompanied by Mr. William Tilton, who was making the trip to try his new invention, the multimagnoscope. With this new invention you can see any part of the United States, including the new possessions?— Mexico, Central and South America. The lens is so powerful that you can distinguish objects and even printed matter at a distance as far away as the earth. There we decided to look back on the “Members of the Class of 1916.” First we focused our gaze on New York City, the metropolis of the world. We saw a mad crowd rushing to and fro, carrying large red banners. The police were trying to part the crowd but traffic was blocked. On taking another look, we saw that the attention of the crowd was held by a woman talking with great enthusiasm. To our great surprise we recognized the features of Florence. On the banners we could see “Florence Wiandt Woodard for Mayor of New York City. It is four years now since woman suffrage had been adopted in the United States and Florence has followed up the interest she always felt in the suffrage cause and has come to be a leader of national importance. From there we turned the multimagnoscope to San Francisco. Here we saw the picture of Miss Luella Beeks on a billboard advertising the Marlowe Chautauqua Company featuring her as reader and impersonator of the great works of Edna Riggle. Next we looked on Mexico, one of our new possessions, where we saw just one member of the Class of TO, Helen Warner. She had married one of Carranza’s great generals, who now has charge of the entire province of Mexico. From Mexico we decided to look at South America. Our eyes wandered to the beautiful city of Buenor Ayers. Just outside the city we noticed a large building out of which many dark skinned children were marching. Immediately following them were the teachers, and on looking closer we saw Lillie Murphy and Rachel Erwin. The United States government had sent them there to teach the English language. Next we turned back to the United States and to one of our eastern cities. Here we saw a beautiful girl walking along the street of one of the fine resident districts. William said, “Does not that girl look familiar?” Later we learned that this beautiful girl was the daughter of our old schoolmate, Frcta Hudnall, who had married a wealthy barber. In Cleveland we saw on the front of a building the name of “The Beeks Company.” Lucile had become an efficient business woman and head of a large automobile establishment. You know Lucile always liked automobiles. In this same city, we saw Lucile Flagon. She had turned her attention to surgery, but largely to that kind which performs its operations upon steaks, potatoes and so forth to tempt the appetite of a tired and hungry husband. The multimagnoscope was then turned so we could see the sunny south. In the harbor at New Orleans, we saw the battleship “Ohio” and on the deck stood the Captain, Aldrich Hykes. The air motor was almost due, so we decided to look at our home town, which had become quite a large city. We could see small groups of people reading from the daily papers, something which appeared to be very important. On close observation we saw the head lines,“Eva Pace, the Great Actress, will appear at the Thirty-ninth street Theatre in fclrnest Hind’s famous play, ‘The Ways of the World.’ ” We could not see Frieda and Thelma, but we know they are at Newcomerstown; Thelma at the head of music in the public schools, while Frieda is teaching voice in the state normal school. On our return trip we noticed a motor in the distance. As it drew nearer we saw that its occupant was Victor Yingling, the President of the Class of 16. We stopped our machine. He told us he was on his way to Mars to spend his vacation. Victor is chief electrician for the Westinghouse Electrical Company at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As 1 sit here this evening thinking over the wonderful things I have seen today, and as I review the responsible positions held by the members of the class, a feeling of pride comes to me for 1 too can say, “I am a member of the Worthy Class of 1916.” V. K. P., 16. (20)
