Alpha 1925 Now I have the vision of a great rocking chair. The occupant is apparently sleeping, but on a table near by is a letter: the address is Angus Moore. Oroville. California. I have a most beautiful spectacle before my eyes now: a girl is singing on a beautifully decorated stage. Her name is Gertrude Meixner. while about her are dancing two girls who are striking in their resemblance: they are Addie and Iva Tompkins. Here the Madame lowered her eyes and excused herself for a brief rest, and the room was immediately filled with much noise of the chattering crowd. (Mrs. Nisbet knows.) Raising her hands and eyes heavenward once more the Madame said. “I see a happy little home. Around the door are three little children, the man and woman coming down the walk, are named Rippey. The girl s name seems to have been Thora. -- I cannot make out the rest! Here is Wallace Mace in large letters on the front of a large clothing establishment. Ralph Knox is the name on a deed for a farm. 1 can see very plainly that Ralph is the farmer. Cecelia Isaac is the name I see in the paper as just having been married. Carl Evans” - - I can hear the name very distinctly. Oh. it is a hotel clerk calling his bell-hop. Pauline Dal Porto scenario is the name I see on the screen of a large theatre. Paine Dunlap is the name of a young man I see hastening by in his working clothes. There is a streak passing before my eyes, then as I look down the track I see George Chase in a thrilling finish. Vera Bes-wick is the name I hear next: she is in some connection with a charity organization.” I can see a very business like man walking down Grant Avenue in San Francisco, with the air of owning the city. It is Forrest Wixoin. Imagine Forrest owning a city.” spoke someone in the class Now I see the interior of beautifully decorated home. There is a party and the hostess says her name was Isabel Reece before her marriage. Here is a vision of a wonderful fruit and vegetable farm. The owner. Rudolph Ghianda. after completing his engineering course at College, came back and installed the most efficient farm implements on his ranch and has made it the finest in the state.” The scene now changes to the interior of an office in which sits a middle aged lady with horned rimmed spectacles. Her fingers are flying over the keys of a typewriter. Josephine Williams is her name. The scene of an auto wreck comes to my vision. Arvid Pauly is in the midst of it. surrounded by a group of girls who have been thrown from the machine. Arvid in dismay remarks. Home was never like this.” Malah Bushey is the name of a woman I see bending over a fine collection of bugs, which have been sent her from South America. Biology.” cried the crowd and they rose leaving Madame at her pleasure for sad news was coming too fast. 16
