lassjp rDpI ECg Listen, 0 ye men anc women, youths and maider.s, and little cFildrenJ Listen, all ye people cf Petersburg, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet, who spe-keth unto you what hath been revealed unto her, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. For it hu3 cone to pass that the veil of the future hath been rent in twain, even as it was so rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the sphe es to envelop my soul with her mystic ov er. It has been given unto me us the chosen one of this great and good people, the Class of 1946, to dream strange dreams, and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. te I looked into the land of the future I could discern moving among the dim shadows of the peoples yet to be, the familiur shapes of those fuir and radient beings who were once my classmates, now changed and transformed into citizens of the world outsice, even s they had long hoped to be. And it came to pass that the veil before mine eyes grew yet more end more thin through the intensity of my vision, and behold I could see them, even a a if the intervening years were not at all, I could seei Imogene Alt as Mrs. Gene Brake, living in Petersburg.
