Alpha 1925 Senior Futures By Eddie Jewett The moon was bathing the landscape in its streaming light which flooded the earth s crest: everything seemed so silent that a true Turkish setting might be revealed. Suddingly out of the darkness and calm came the familiar shouts, ‘rah! rah! rah! It was the senior class going to Madam Mercclli's home to find, if possible, what the future held in store for the members of the class of 25-twenty-five. Out of the machines they sprang and pounced into the doorway, but the silence of the tranquil night brought the noisy crowd to a standstill. 1 he air of old Turkey seemed to send a chill through their veins. A deep blue light cast its rays through a window nearby, giving an impression of something supernatural. After the students made known their wants to the servant who greeted them they were told to sit down and wait. On a large table in the center of the room was a crystal with burning incense which filled the nostrils with its perfume. The Persian rug felt like velvet beneath their feet. The seniors were profoundly impressed by the beautiful coloring of the home.Everything was of a purplish or faint blue hue which shown like glittering gems from the light of the crystal. The prophetess entered. She was gorgeously attired in a Turkish costume of the upper caste. Walking slowly she took a seat at the table and began waving her hands in many fantastic movements. T hen she abruptly stopped with hands and eyes uplifted. “I see a beautifully decorated stage- Yes. and I hear faint strains of music and voices. There is a tenor of excellent quality, and a bass coo: there is also a lady's voice: their names are Russell Turner. Asa Powell and Carol Turner. After hesitating a moment the Madame cast her eyes heavenward again. I see a book; upon the cover is written Authors of Renown'. As the pages turn one by one the following names stand out more clearly than the others. Vesta Cory .and Lillian Morrison. Oh gee. the authors of great books.' cheered the crowd. I see a busy thoroughfare in New York, a gentleman, well dressed, and apparently a business man is coming down the street: his name is Henry Patton . At this Henry tries to hide beneath the table. I have a vision of an operating room in a large hospital - - the doctor in charge of the operations is called Jack Chambers. “There is a drug store in my vision now. on the front of which in large gold letters is this name. McClard's Pharmacy.” 14
