For three yn-urs HW:1t has attended R.-M. A. for tho purpose of accomplishing things that would reflect credit upon the beloved state. North Carolina. We do not err when we say that he has succeeded in his nmhitiou. Ilis quiet. easy manner and jolly disposition have won him many friends. who will watch his progress in life with a keen interest. The saying actions speak louder than words well applies to Wah for though he is a man ol? few words his actions. whether upon the drill field in command of his company. ln class. or in the social life ol' the school, show that he possesses qualities that belong only to the highest type of 111311. Ilis work in c-lass is excellent. bringing much credit to his ability as a stu- dent. and we are sure tihnt when he continues his prepar- ation for delltistry he will keep the good work up. It would do hhn injustice to close without saying that he is an i1lilllll'4'l' ol' the fair sex. and sees that they add much joy and lmppiness to the life ol? a man.

It is very seldom that a genius can do more than one thing, but Vance can do anything that any one clse can. His genius shows itself especially when some one has blown one of the fuses on one of the corridors, for Vance picks up a piece of wire, a little tin foil from some one else's -cigarette box, other things, and makes a new fuse so that we may have light. Vance is very expert also in developing hlms and he is constantly engaged in this work making pictures for nearly every hoy in school. Yet not only his genius, hut also his simple good nature and ready smile have drawn to him many friends. Next year he will not be here and his loss will be felt very much, especially on the third diner. lrlis life's work will he chemical engineering, and Vance will put all his strength and genius into it to make it a success. He can not fail. ltimgx 553 ,

I first turned to books in hopes that by a miracle I might find some help. Next I turned to Chemistry and Physics. Everything I found I analvfed oi compounded in hopes that in some of the bollings and xiolent Lctions that took place I mivht obtain 't new of the futuie In vain I seaiched but the only iesults I obtained neie seveial buined hnveis and the loss of a pan or eyelashes Wfhat could I do? Wfhere could I find a means of penetrating the future and seeing what 1ny comrades would be doing twenty years hence? It has been truly said that the future is hard to see into. and I can well assure any one that this statement is one hundred per cent true. Finally, I became desperate and began searching around Bedford in hopes of finding some crystal at which I might gaze and get a glimpse of the future. I suppose I walked a hundred miles and examined every rock within a radius of ten miles of Bedford, but to no advantage. I had come to the point that unless some other means were found by which I could remove the dark veil that intervenes between now and the future, a class prophecy would never exist as ,far as I was concerned. My lack of success in penetrating the future began to worry me exceedingly, and imagine my joy when one day I picked up the Lynchburg News and saw in one corner a small notice to the effect that Madame Zonra, the W'onderful Fortune Teller. whose specialty is looking into the future. was then located in Lynchburg, Carroll I-Iotel, Rooms 140, 141, and 142. This notice greatly encouraged me and I determined to seek this Wfonderful Fortune Teller, whose fame had spread throughout the United States, and implore her assistance in this large task which I had to perform. Besides, I could count on any information she could give me. The following day I found myself in Lynchburg seeking an appointment with her. ment for admitted Froin the lobby I called her over the phone and made an appoint- ten o'clock.
