W , :HF - l.IMg.i.,1Y YL I 1 PROPHECY Professor Harold Murray gave me a glimpse last night through his latest invention - the historoscope. As you know the scenes which took place on this earth a thousand years ago are only now being observed by the in- habitants of planets far enough distant that the light has taken a thousand years to travel. Beginning with this fact Professor Murray arranged a system- of coils and scientific instruments through which he could pick up light rays originating in any of the past thousand years. The machine thus reveals the activities of a thousand years past and becomes of incalculable aid to the historian. It has features not unlike the popular cinema which when viewed through a photographic lens reveals the activities of the past. We were watching with great interest the events of 1829 when something suddenly exploded with a sound like a pistol, the scanning disk began to rotate rapidly in the opposite direction and we presently realized that we must be gazing into the future instead of the past. Breathlessly we viewed the unfolding of the scene before us. Of the numerous events we saw I will now attempt to tell only of those which directly relate to the class. Gordon Theriault filled in the questionaire, What will be your vocation? The answeraThe pursuit of adventure. This vocation sounded very gallant and gleaming to the rest of us but after I had watched him beat his way home from China on a junk, be arrested and sentenced to be shot in Mexico and saved only through the intervention of a beautiful senorita, entombed in a Chinese punishment vault, escaping only by an earthquake, and sundry other adventures not so pleasant, it was good to see him settle down and become a plumbing contractor. Josephine Clark, having failed in her entrance examinations to the University couldn't qualify as a teacher, and having a decided aversion to all forms of useful labor, dedicated her life to politics. There she proved eminently successful. After the death of the present incumbent she fell heir to his office of King Governor of the state of Washington. She developed a great vetoing talent and was pointed out as a constructive governor. Essie Shull, whose versatility promised her a rich future in almost any- thing in which she became interested, devoted her talent to philanthropy and at least succeeded in putting the Lacey home on a sound basis. The famous cow-girl, Alice Anderson, was winning prizes at the various rodeos by her wonderful horsemanship and skill at bull dogging. Fred Dahl, whose oratorical talent was marked in his youth, held con- secutive positions as Chautauqua manager, radio announcer, and finally became a well known barker in a large circus. Edna, who signed up for the presidency, held the somewhat lesser offices of Justice of the Peace at Porter. We feel obliged as a class to give Edna the benefit of our wedding fees but feel that she transcends her right when she objects to our marrying inside the class, as it cuts her profits in half. Emil Carlson ran a beauty parlor in which he seemed to begin to do very good business until he inadvertantly gave Katie Bakers nose a permanent shine and lost all his profits in the resulting lawsuit. Tuffy Shull became a pugilist of great renown but before winning the championship became punch drunk and never fully recovering, turned his talents to poetry in which he became the competitor of Sandburg but decidedly outdistanced him. Oscar B. was early crossed in love and became a hard-boiled marine where he won many honors as all marines do. Page 14
