CLASS PROPHESY In the year 1925 I visited Clara and Angela Barney of the class of '22, on their extensive sheep ranch in Montana, willed to them, by an uncle long deceased. It was natural, of course, that they carried on their work according to the sage advice of their uncle, through the Ouija Board. And finding it such a useful article in choosing stock and hiring hands, our faith in its powers was so great that we immediately prepared to locate the other members of the cllass of '22 and learn their respective occupations. The conversation was something like this: Angela: “Oh Ouija, please tell us of the class of ’22. Hurry, too, because its almost time for lunch.” Clara: “Uncle is always slow and he gets stubborn if you try to hurry him.” Then I said, “Ouija, where is Stella Bunders? She used to sit beside me in Study Hall.” At last Ouija got started and went straight through the class- Uncle was the spirit medium. Ouija: “Stella Bunders is located with the Mayo Bros, at Rochester, and is a graduate surgical nurse. “Russel Allen is professor of Mathematics at Harvard, and although it is odd indeed, Vivian Hintz is married to Senoi Valturnos of Chihuahua, he is an ex-Bandit and proprietor of the Cash and Carry Casino, and poor Vivian has her hands full. “Ben Budworth is President of the “Budworth Gum Co.” which he established himself, though he is soon to retire to his farm rn Grant County. “Clarence Foley has aspired to the high position of Section Boss of the C.
