THE I930 CYCLOPS Senior l rophecy My pipe is lit, tile smoivc curls upward in vatzrant whirls, 1 lean back and puff — my day ' s work is done, the clank of the machines in the mill is still and night reifins supreme at the mine high on the slopes of the Andes. Suddenly a question breaks upon my dreams — Where are they? Who? you ask. My classmates of years gone b at old ' Lon ' . One by one theii ' appear hazy in detail but in vivid clearness in m mind. A classroom, a group of attentive pupils, and ah ! there is old George Burden expounding the theories of math as he used to hear Daddy do so long ago. The Scene changes but still the classroom persists, no, I was mistaken, it is a modern laboratory and m ' old friend, Uuckleg Driskell holds sway among his bottles and retorts and a galaxy of things chemical. Ho! there ' s something wrong here, no, it is as it should be, a peaceful valley meets my e e, a farmhouse neat as a pin, a pretty housewife is calling the chickens — and « h , yes, that ' s Posey Maddox coming up the lane. I know he is happy. Extra! Extra! Why who is this? Yes, one of Casey Jones ' force of paper boys is loudly proclaiming his papers at a busy street corner, for Casey not only hires an alarming number of paper boys, but owns the paper which they sell. From this corner I see a sign, Tankersley and Keith, who, prolonging their Damon and Pythias friendship after college days have entered business in a big way. Puff! Puff! The screen for m isicins was about to melt into nothingness, here, it ' s back again and there in the middle of Atlanta, is Coca-Cola ' s home offices. There is where Dick Kell has entered his life work, following the footsteps of his father. Again the scene shifts back to a classroom, an English professor is reading a beautiful piece of literature, who? — why, no other than Tippens. Say, who ever said that Kennemore was bashful ! A cosy room, a great log fire, and a charming young wife are there with Kenny and babies on the floor! This home- like atmosphere persists for the scene moves to the home of Ralph Price, who has reached astounding heights in his career of road building, and the wife? — can ' t you guess? Herta Da is, of course! Back in olil ' Lon, ' there is a huge store and on the front of this store is written in big letters, J. L. Moore and Sons. ou remember it used to be J. H. Moore and Son. Leon is the big dog of the town now. One of his sons is graduating this year. A crowded g m, a yelling mob, what ' s all the excitement? What! a basket- ball game for the championship of the world ! Let ' s go inside. Vhy, look who is coaching the two teams. No one but Hoosier Carroll and Ben Cheek! Wake up Hutch — time to go to work — yes, Hutchins and I are down here mining copper. Day is just breaking and dreams fly away with the dawn and leave only golden memories. R. L. M.ALONE, CltlSS I ' lOphet. Paijc Tirrnly-six
