M acM illan Class Prophecy Immediately after graduation I was engaged by an historical research museum. I embarked for Egypt in search of some ancient hieroglyphic writing which was supposedly hidden somewhere along the banks of the Nile River. Day after day our excavations were fruitless and very trying to my fellow workers. One day a very bent, ancient looking man approached us in a very mysterious manner. He was dressed in clothes resembling Gandhi's and carrying a sceptre in his right hand. In a very soft, melodious, clear, spiritual sounding voice he told us where we should find the hieroglyphics if we would do as he bade us. I sent most of the members of the expedition on while a few of us stayed with our mysterious friend. He casually mentioned, that he was a mental analyti- cal doctor. Immediately my interest was aroused. I asked him if he could predict- the future of the class of 1932. With only a wry smile of complete understanding and with alacrity, he proceeded in the following manner: In 1950 your former class president, Stanley Ceponis will have received adegree of Batchelor of Arts and Sciences and will be elevated to the exalted position of Professor in the University of Orange.
