-2- RJ-RR. See —EDWIN EBERMAN VR en Prophecy Rip Van Winkle was one of Irving’s greatest characters. He was an obedient, henpecked husband and was a great gossiper. He was fond of hunting and shoot- ing and was often seen wandering over the hills of North Carolina with his gun on his shoulder and his faithful old dog following on behind. Not being able to hunt, and having somewhat of a roving disposition, it was always a great pleasure to me to roam around and instead of taking a gun I always take a copy of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. On this particular day in early spring I found myself in the thick forest wan- dering as was my custom on pretty days, and as usual I had my copy of Macbeth. Feeling tired and worn I took up my Macbeth to read while I sat on an old stump in the shade of a great tree to rest. As I read on and on I came to Macbeth’s in- terview with the Witches. I became so thoroughly absorbed in thinking of them that I stopped reading. I wondered if ever such things occurred in the present day, and was really wishing I might see the witches to see what they would tell me when I was attracted by a noise behind me. I looked around and to my surprise and horror I was confronted by the three witches about whom I had just been thinking. Being too frightened to run I spoke to the foremost of the group. “I know you are Macbeth’s evil spirits, but what is your purpose here?”’ With screeching voices and frantic gestures the leader of the sisters replied, “We have not made our appearance on earth for many years, but we have been watching and have been so impressed by the Senior Class of the Roxboro High School that we have agreed to move forward the curtain of time and reveal the fu- ture to you. ) . , “First let us take wilh Clayton, the president of his class.

He has made a great success in his practice of the Dentistry and tomorrow he has an engagement with the President to take an impression for a set of false teeth. “Tonight all the people of North Carolina rejoice with the many friends of Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt in the fact that at last they have secured Mise AGM Adexiel. to nurse her through her present illness. Miss Sue Frederick is a graduate of John Hopkins Hospital and has done much good throughout the United States. “If it were possible for you to look through space you would not be surprised to see Kaffe Pérkins pouring over a book in an elaborate shop.

As you will remember in high school days she never knew what she was going to do and still she is trying to de- cide. At the present she is matron of the home for the aged in Raleigh. Miss Thaxton is greatly loved by all the old people there and if they have their way she will never leave.” “Mr. Edward Bowles, after studying all forms of the Olympic Games abroad, has returned to the United States. Tomorrow he has a meeting with his committee at which they will discuss the establishments of an athletic college for boys. Mr. Bowles has always claimed that athletics did not have a fair showing so he is plan- ning to establish a college at which they will get justice. Mr. Bowles is to be presi- dent of this college and will also be chief athletic director.” y € gre z . a “Now tell me what has happened to our teacher, Miss Mildred Satterfield, who lad did so much to help us during our high school days and especially our last year.” t cnT: : , : ili : : arth LUO, om hoeereea Miss Satterfield is now living in Los Angeles where she is writing thesocial - tp CEL news for the leading paper there.

I thanked them for their information and just at this moment the sun peeped over the hills. ‘The witches disappeared as mysteriously as they came and I know not whether we will meet again in thunder, lightning or in rain.
