tures, all ladies, bearing the same initials. So hjarl had become an up-to-date photographer. Hearing the voice of a lady say, Take this oath, I turned, and saw no other than Madge Lenox seated on the justice bench. I found that she was the only woman judge in America. So Madge was having her way, and see- ing that others had justice thruout her days. During my stupor I thot I became sick, and was taken to the hospital, where I was pleasantly surprised to receive tender care from the excellent nurse, Miss Eflie Porter. So she was continuing hergood work, began in Rolla High-performing kind deeds for all. As I caught one last whiff from the almost burned out experiment, I be- came conscious of sweet strains of music floating thru the air, and in my vision saw the queenlike figure of Eva Northern artistically playing the pipe organ in a large city church. So it had become her privilege to gladden many saddened souls with her beautiful music. CNote: This paragraph not writ- ten by the undersigned.b But, alas and alack, both the sweet music and prophetic vision were in- terrupted by the noise of an opening door, and the stern tones of Professor Bradley asking, Miss Eva, what was the result of that experiment?

J it JVM I One day while busily working in the lab near the end of the yeara feeling of sadness stole over me that so soon my loyal classmates and I would be separated. While in this dreamy introspective mood the fumes from the experiment I was making added a feel- ing of languor and tho not like Pythia of old, 'lil who mounted the tripod I dropped into the , comfortable desk chair and was given a vision ,A , in which I saw the future of my classmates First I saw Helen Baysinger as the society I belle of a large city, heretofore known as Rolla. Missouri. She was only continuing the leader- ship accorded her when in Rolla High. V Peering along the streets I saw a man bend- ing low to enter a magnificent gym. He was . employed, I was told, to train the Miners. On inquiring his name, I found that he was no oth- er than our beloved classmate, Harry Z. As 1 became still more imbued with the stupefying fumes, I saw a large mansion surrounded with flowers and fruit trees. In the far distance could be heard the cackle of the hen and the grunting of the swine. As I looked more closely, I saw sitting on the porch reading a home magazine the petite figure of Mattie Freeman. A click, click, brought to my view the small figure of Mary Adams. So Mary had become a successful stenographer. I remembered then her quiet and assured way in managing the Freshman, and knew that these qualities had made for success in the business world. The next vision that flitted by was that of a hurrying crowd into a state- ly building. When I followed along I saw busily handing out money in re- turn for small slips of paper, our vice-president, Eric Schuman. The mew of a cat now demanded my attention. and as I followed the call of the Grey Malkin, I found surrounded by pets and examination papers Miss Minerva Allison, a far-famed German teacher in the R. H. S. Robert Stassen, Scientific Farmer, was the next member of my class to come beneath my enchanted vision. He lived on a large estate where he spent most of his time in walking to and from a nearby farm, where lived a former Sophomore. Looking into an auditorium I saw Miss Selma Hammer as a lecturer on Horticulture. No wonder that Selma 'was so interested in Agriculture, and did not mind the long walks, and the spraying and trimming of the fruit trees. ....g, Seeing the portrait of a woman on the wall, I examined it closely, and found beneath the initials E. R. B. Looking farther, I saw many other pic- ? 9 10 if fg m F I , my f Jaogm .Ee p V , Lf-- -rg-,-fi l . ' . ix' ' Y ,

CLASS POENI. NS Ne The Seniors once upon a time, In the history of our school, Were Freshmen on the upward climb Neglecting every rule. Y Y Yet they didn't keep it up, . As Seniors they are dandyg Learn their lessons every day, As teachers they'll be handy. NE V2 They win respect from everyone Including all the scholarsg So they deserve to have success And gather in the dollars. NS N2 But soon the time will come to part When they must say goodbye: And then full many a tear they'll shed And heave full many a sigh. Y N2 Soon now to school they'll say farewell, The World they'll soon be facing. And from their lives I hope they will Their faults soon be erasing. Mary Adams, '16
