And lastly, to our worthy housekeeper, Mr. Wilkinson, wc leave the stray pennies he finds on the study hall floor. Sworn and subscribed before Ina John- son and Wendclin Ball, notaries. Our term expires May 28. 1926. Class Prophecy □ 0 IRS']'. I will introduce myself; I am a penny, and on my face is the date of 1945 and since this is the year 1950 you see 1 have been in circula- tion five years. During that time 1 have gone thru many hands and made many pilgrimages, of some of these 1 will tell you. In 1945 when I first came out of a 1. S. Mint, bright and shiny, the first person I saw was Donald Hitchcock. On listening I soon learned that Donald was chief boss over the Mint and was direct- ing the whole affair. After much handl- ing I was stacked up with many others ami taken to a large office. While here I saw many famous men and women. On one occasion the president and his private secretary. La Mar Jones, came to the office; on another three of the cabinet members: Sec’y of War, David Heim; Sec’y of Navy, True Stout; and Post- master General, Wendelin Ball. But very soon I was sent to a bank in Chicago. The President of the Bank, Lowell Lee. first unwrapped me but before I was handed out as change Cecile Beagles, Beulah Irwin and Leona Price, clerks, and a great many other hands handled me a great many times. One day I heard some one whisper here comes Gerald Ball the great radio king. They say he’s made millions of dollars with his radio factory and is now one of the wealthiest men in Chicago, and look, the one on his right is Harold Martin, the noted brain specialist, and the other is Welcome Snyder, the greatest criminal lawyer Chicago has ever known. Before five minutes had elapsed I was handed to Mr. Ball as change and soon was going around over Chicago safe in the depths of his pocket. Mr. Ball stop- ped in at a famous studio to see some old friends and, behold, who was there but “The Lackey Twins.’’ Stars; Hal Hoham, director of the famous Broadway “Ragg- bones” orchestra and Robert Brown, Chi- cago’s most noted ladies’ dancing master. The next day I was handed to a clerk at the famous Arlington Hotel. I lay still awhile in the cash drawer but after a while began to stir and peep out of the key-hole. I hadn’t noticed until then that the clerk was Olen Albert. Late in the day I was handed to a wealthy stock and poultry dealer Glenr Baker and was soon on my road to New York. Before reaching New York Mr. Baker stopped at a pretty little tea-shop which had a sign like this above the door, Welcome Inn. Callie and Lillie O’Dell. Proprietors. I was handed over in payment for a lunch, and for many weeks took a re t One afternoon a party of tourists strolled into the tea-room and sat down. Callie came behind the counter and cried, “Say. that woman with the light knickers on is Mrs. Leonard Clizbe, and the other is Mrs. Edgar O’Keefe. Jewel and Juanita made a success alright didn’t they?” It was then that I rolled over and be- gan to listen to the conversation of the tourists. 1 gathered from their talk that they were going to New York to see some old friends appear in public. That evening the famous Prima Donna, Bernice Mor- combe was to appear in a Broadway theatre owned and operated by Clifford 28
