OLD NOKOMIS 19 3 4 Senior Class Prophecy Telepathy is a wonderful thing. Everyone knows what it is, but no one understands it. In my work as a metaphysist, I am constantly subject to it. Because of my sensitiveness to thought waves, I once made a remarkable discovery. I was working in my laboratory, compounding a mixture of dynamite, carbon, and sulphur. A passerby threw a lighted match into the room through an open window, and it fell into my compound. There was a sudden, blinding flash, the sound of an explosion. Naturally, I thought my doom was upon me. Happily, however, I had accidentally stumbled upon a magic formula which needed only the touch of a match to set it off. In the middle of the room there appeared a man dressed in the strangest of clothes. He did not speak, but I intercepted his thought waves. He was thinking: What queer people these were, to be sure. Little does this mortal before me guess that I am a creature from twenty years hence in this world’s future. For instance, no one living in this age knows that Viola Becker will become foreign minister to Pana from Nokomis. John Blasko and Henry Giorgis will be rivals in a circumatmospheric race in a craft invented by the master inventor, or should 1 say inventrix, in that line, Wilda Hunter. The outcome of the race will be a tie in which all former records will be broken. Daniel Bost will write and draw caricatures of his famous classmates. Vernon Buescher will marry one of his old girl-friends and settle down to flying rocket ships. Anita Calihan will invent some perpetual chewy chewing-gum. John Chabala will become famous for his chain of suspender counters. John Cibulka will be a traveling salesman on Uranus. Angeline Costa will be the leading American lady naturalist and will marry the ' tread banker of an international banking establishment. Dominick Costa win invent a system by which one may sleep his way to wisdom. Marvin Dahlilr will become a whale of a man in the whale oil industry. Angelo Dal Piaz will astonish the world by the brilliance of his special brand of air-plane gilt. Louise Davis will marry a wholesale producer of packages for condensed roast beef dinners. Eileen Deitz will surprise everyone by a marvelous invention that even in my time is only now being patented. The millinery turned out under the skillful fingers of Annamae Easterday will bring immeasurable pencuniary compensation. Helen Eckhoff will explore the realm of domestic science with great success. Charlotte Epstein will make a startling discovery concerning the time needed to jell jell-o and reduce that time by 10 minutes, 4 2 seconds. Lena Florini will become renowned in eleven planets for her dark beauty. Estel Lea Fogle will have long since changed her name to one that suits her better and will assist her husband, a noted surgeon. Sarah Fogle will become a professional zebra rider in interplanet rodeos. John Forgacs will manufacture perforated colanders. Mary4 Furimsky will be chief manager of a corporation for amusing languid wealthy people known as the TIN EARS CO., CORP. Winifred Geiss will direct non-malleable, pure silver spoon manufacturing. Wesley Gordish will be engaged in cellophane curtain manufacturing. Charles Grimes will be an authority in the field of rocket exploding. Lucille Husman will be the junior partner in the firm of FLORINI AND FLORINI. Harriet Irwin will be an instructor in Techno-English in a school as famous in that time as Prince Henry’s school of navigation was long ago. Joy Isbell will be hostess in a renowned Parisian hotel.
