CLASS PROPHECYi 1 917 I see a little shadow in the mirror -0n the wall: But is it just a shadow, just a dream? -Oh not at all. For our small Virginia stands there with a smile eAnd husband too: And hopping gaily iround her is a dog, or eMaybe two. Then a writer walks in frowning, with a pencil eAnd a pad; 0h Jamey, when you write things does it always eMake you mad? Soon after K. T. comes in sight, then slowly 7Fades away, But she is still so very bright, we know there e13 a Ray. A dashing, daring, gay, young widow in Paris one 70ften sees, But here in the glass comes theloveliest, and Behold! itis iMary Louise. What is that noise? e15 tearing. When pictures spoil, do artists everi? eBe swearing. Oh my, oh my, Alice her hair Oh, no she canit Just then a girl comes bouncing in, Bebe never has wA minute, She spends her time in a Hying machine, societyts hardly iln it. Who is this whirlwind flying 'round, and scurrying --iBout the town? Ah, yes, I see, itis friend Louise turning Hamilton eUpside down. 25 But now I seem to see a yard where sweet, pink iRoses blow, And Havents there, so happy in a cozy eBungalow. Some pigs and cows and chickens make all the noise 7They can, For a nice farm-wife is feeding them, andiOh, my word! elt's Fran. A book appears there in the glass, and I can see WSO clear, That Marj is smiling out at me, sheis West Point Girl eThis year. Then Julia speaks from out the glasszhereis just one 7 bew thing A young professoris darling wifeeand live in ittOld Swanee. ttOrder in the court, I hear.e The lawyeris going 7T0 speak. And up steps Katherine Gatch, my dear, a lawyer far eFrom meek. Then Esther looks out solemnly with steady eEyes of brown, She looks me through, then slowly says, ttThe tariff kMust go down. Now dear old Bobby heaves in sight, itis more than e1 can beare For she has twinsinay, more than that, for each hand eHoIds a pair. You ask me where this mirror hangs-ethis lovely eMemory Pagee My dear, itis hanging on a walliethe wall is eOn The Stage! D. M. H., '17.

This last year, when reached, seemed strangely different from the one they had long imagined. They were joined by Esther, Katherine, Haven, Julia, and Louise twho had caught up with them from the group behindy. All these newcomers were soon loved by all the girls. The group. had grown to fifteen and Virginia was this time chosen leader. Their first troubles were those with the Freshmen, but again a compromise satisfied all. The year bookea record of the events of the last yearewas a great task, and manager and editor, after much discussion, were chosen. Various methods of money raising were used, for the publishing was far from inexpensive. And now, as the little group nears the end of its journeyithe place where the road branches into manyi they pause a moment to think of their good times and to realize the patience and kindness of their guides. They think of Miss Kendrields wise aid along the road, and wish that this last year may not slip by so quickly as the others.
