ECHOES Senior Class Prophesy One sunny afternoon in April, 1923, I put on all my best trotting harness and shaved in preparation for going to see my girl. I went out to the hangar and pushed out n1y aeroplane and filled the gas tank to its full capacity. I then stepped around in front of it to start the engine. I had to start the engine by turning the propeller, as it was a Ford aero- plane, and did not have any self-starter. I turned the engine over twelve times, and on the thirteenth time the motor back- fired, as Fords sometimes do, and the propeller hit me a glanc- ing blow on the back of the head. This made me unconscious for about one and one-half hours. As I was lying in the mud, stunned by this accident, I saw visions both startling and inter- esting. As if a part of the scenes and places appealing in my mind, I lived, for a few moments at least, with each of my former classmates. One vision stood out plainly in the chaotic jumble-a bill on a telephone pole, announcing a Purdue and Indiana Uni- versity basket ball game. Yes, I found my way there, for the feeling was strong in me that the contest would be exciting, for neither of these teams had been defeated and this was the last game on the schedule for each school. I learned that the coaches of the teams were Kenneth Richardson of Indiana and Keith Coleman of Purdue, who had been basket ball stars at cld P. H. S. The final score, when the whistle blew, was five to five, a tie. They were nip and tuck as always. My next visit was to the Rocky Mountains to a large pine- forest reserve. While I was there in the forest, I had the thrilling experience of seeing a large forest fire being killed by the forest rangers. One brave and energetic man of strong physical power and presence of mind, seemed strangely fami- liar. I watched him intently for some time, commanding, workingg fighting the mighty confiagration. Mont! My mem- ory recalled the same old Doc. Going from there to one of the western cities, I had the pleasure of witnessing the construction of a large power sta- tion. The workmen were installing large dynamos and gen- erators under the supervision of the head electrical engineer. He was a tall, slim felow, who looked very much like someone I knew. After Watching for sometime I recognized this engi- never. And who do you suppose it was? Well, I was surprised, it was Kenneth Myers. My wandering mind next took me to large hospital in Chi- cago. No one knows how I came to be in the operating room, but there I was, watching the skillful movements of the sur- geon who was inserting a rubber stomach into John D. Rocke- feller's grandson, to replace his worn-out one. Turning to the trim nurse attending, the girl with the plain little gold band on her left hand, he urged, Do hurry, Peggy! Here's the sponge, Sol, was the clear reply, as she handed him the article. I then knew this wonderful surgeon to be Charles Carithers. Now finding myself at a Farmer's Institute, where they ' 1922
