Her head nodded back and forth g then She was off in the land of far away. She saw the gorgeous colorings of Autumn which transfigures the hills with glory and fills the silence with misty amethyst and gold. She per- ceived the organization of a new class with Lucile Walker president, Louise Frick vice-president, Mar- garet Wilde secretary and Nell Erwin the treasurer And above all, stood the lion, a mascot of strength' How proud she was to know that they were in hell care, and still more elated she became when they lalld a trophy at her feet-a hockey cup, won by the greatest effort.

THE QUILL for 1916 The Class Prophecy HE Coming Years spread themselves before me in a vast panorama, and there seemed to be one Year which had seen fulfilled all the ambitions and all the hop-es of the Ossining Seniors of 1916. That Year, heralded by Success, and riding in a chariot to which was yoked the Lion of famed prow- ess, bade me travel with her to the nearby and distant parts of the earth. There I should see the achieve- ments of those women of Whose lives-she had once composed a apart. I gladly obeyed the order and rode forth to see. Forests, fields, and mountains, passed by me in rapid unfamiliar succession. The country grew Wilder and more barren as I rode along, 'until at last I stepped forth into the snow of a small Esquimeau village. I saw a troop of children clad in fur from head to toe, and followed them in idle curiosity. They had stopped at the door of a small hut, when I was 'astonished to hear a vvell-known Southern voice. Just .then a sign above the door caught my eye. It read Katherine Crampton-Southern Cake-Walk, Vir- ginia Reel-Hours 4-63' In a short talk with Katherine, I learned how, tired by the idle activities of Mobile society life, she was inspired by the remembrance of Mission Study reports, and decided to fill the great need for North- ern missionaries. But, to her dismay, she found that the Bible, alone, was not sutlicient to please bel' pupils, so she had begun giving dancing lessons. 42 , - as eff' 2 -' THE f Suits' New lf ,g .1 5, gmadw.
