 Again it camo to pass and I found myself inside of a great Cathedral, where a priest in his wonderous robes poured forth words of inspiration and instructions and verily 1 say I saw the form of Joseph Lee Huntley, who had enlisted in the work of the Church. Later the unknown veil was lowered and raised and before me swung an open door in a home and there I found a household made happy by a wife, who had found her greatest ambition in the highest of all worldly vocations: that of keeping a home. My soul rejoiced as I gazed upon Margaret Harris and I followed my spirit further on the quest of things that are to be. Linge.iingly, 1 watched the home lights die away and within my heart I felt a desire to hear or know something of my old friend, Hazel Jackson, when low my soul was held entranced by the strains of music that seemed to sway one into the realm of artistic beauty. At once 1 was amazed wired I beheld the figure of Hazel Jackson swaying from side to side at the appeal of the fantastic lyre, as she danced a jig in delightful time to the music. As the music died away, I gazed upon the wonderful city of Hollywood, California, when I saw Ruby Herndon, with h r 1 i} s rosy red, playing a leading role with Ro- doiph Valentino. The next scene, that presents itself to view, is that of Los Angels, and here T see Mrs. Fred Kirk, in ail her glory, better known to her old classmates as Frances Lindsey, driving down the street in a Cadillac sedan. This vision passed from ray view and I hear in the distance a familiar voice, one that I heard of yore, but much sweeter. As I viewed the person from whom this swee music came I found it to be none other than Grace Warren: known as one among the greatest of singers. Last but not least, I realized that it was none other than myself (Johnny Blue) mount- ing the steps of Oxford, as the president of that famous college, and verily as I beheld this scene and marveled thereat, the veil was drawn over mini eyes, shutting out from my vision the things that are to lx and I turned my eyes back to the things that are; sure that as “coming events cast their shadows before”, only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are to come to the fair and talented members of the Class of 1923. 1923
