knowledge gained after a little study. The agricultural class, since entering has had great difficulty in selecting a position from the many places open to grad uates. The domestic science cla.ss, 1 am sure, has had its difficulties ; but as I was timid, a.nd had the good excuse that it was against the rule to hang around that department, I know little about its trials. I suppose thev were to demon- strate the work without suspicion. With this brief sketch I must point you to the future where most of our history lies concealed from public view, only to be revealed by the slow process of time. There you may read as it is written where it will be more interesting. Cl. ss Historian.

Senior Class Hi ory URELY the year ' 15 will stand uut in full relief above all the peaks of time. The formal opening of the Panama Canal is to be observed and the tlestiny of Europe to be fixed. The eyes of the world are anxiously watching the events of the East. But up in the hills of Lumpkin. Near to the valleys of Ha.ll, There is something happening Not being noticed at all. The Senior Class of X. G. A. C. is spreading on the finishing touch of Alma Mater polish and will soon launch out upon the sea. of life as a Columbus sailing out upon a dark unknown, and about a,s well efjuijiped. Just as a great event stands out in world ' s histor}-, so June 2d will stand out in our lives as a dividing line between two epochs. . s we glance back over the history of this class, we see many things of which to be proud. ITrst. we notice a large number of courses represented by so small a class. If there is any position tha.t can not be filled from thi class, it is because the college did not give the course. Mo.st of the members are carry- ing more than one course. The idea seems to exist that breadth yet has a value. Then we have held high honors in societies ; stood well in social affairs ; rendered valuable service in the band : won distinction in athletics, and shown excellent skill in drill. The class is especially delighted a.t its success in military tactics. If our country ever calls, with (|uick response we will all be ready — to hide out. We have had our trials during our stay here as well as our pleasures. It seems to be common in school, as well as in life, that each thinks his road the mo-t rugged. The P.. Ph. students have had a task in the study of psychology and philosophy. I hope the words will ever connotate safe ideas to them as trainers of children. The mining class only wearied over a chance to demonstrate the

Prophesy of Senior Class N. G. A. College, 1915 EELIXG my utter inability to perform the task of revealing ' what the future might hold in store for our illustrious class, I decided to shift the burden to shoulders more cajiable than my own. A phre- nologist was, accordingly, decided upon for the labor, and I set out for Atlanta post-haste to consult with one. Having talked with relia.ble friends concerning the best in the city and having secured her address, I soon found myself at the door of her apartment. We (the stenographer whom 1 had brought with me and myself) were ushered in by a neat, trim maid. The room was quite different from what I expected, as people of this vocation are generally believed to revel in mystical surroundings. Soon the Ma.dan: entered. She was a woman of middle age, hair slightly gray, piercing eyes, trim figure, neat of appearance and with a genearl air of one that could be relied ui on. Al once she asked our business, and I made known what we desired that she reveal. She. in a business-like way. secured r. list of the najnes of our class and also a few of the personal characteristics of each. Then she retired to her private apartment and remained there for about thirty minutes, ' hen she returned she had all the names on a sheet, with a few characters written after each one. From these characters, which looked like Egyptian hierogly])hics, she began to rea.d our future. This was taken down by the stenographer in -horthand ?.n l is transcribed here below: Mc] Iillan will go to South Dakota and follow mining, lie will marry the mine owner ' s beautiful daughter. Afterwards he will enter politics and finall become M. C. from his district and take a prominent pla.ce in the political and social affairs of the National Capital. The future holds in store for ' andiviere the life of a jiromoter. His merit will be recognized and he will finallv head a vast scheme for the manufacture of
