CLASS PROPHECY It seemed as though the rain would never stop. The sound of the roaring wind and the driving raindrops was suddenly mingled with the ominous chug-chug of the motor, reminding me that I was out of gasg and the nearest town was at least two miles away. With nothing to do except to walk back to the town, I was making my way down the deserted country road, when by a flash of lightning there loomed before me a lonely shack upon a hill. I decided to enter. To my surprise the door opened even before I had knocked, and there stood before me a wizened but intelligent-faced little old man. I hesitated, but he wil- lingly invited me in, and soon made me feel quite at home. '61 am a wizard, he confided, and have inventions here that would startle the world if they knew. But because I perceive that you are an intelligent young man, there is something I am going to show you. You see, he added more eagerly, this machine is my masterpiece. It can prophesy ten years into the future. Now upon that silver screen yonder- Waitl', I interrupted him excitedly. This is the year that I shall graduate, and I have so often wondered just what my forty-five class- mates will be doing in ten years.
