Mm? H 5- 'P 0 l x T 5 71-h; Senior Prophecy The class of i26, a-foot and lighthearted, must now take to the open road of life, to either prosper greatly or to sink into utter obscurity. How can I tell aright the future of my class mates? But let us Visit the Garden of Tomorrow, with its blossoms of success and its thorns of failure. As we pass beneath its portals we see Father Time, bearded and gray, seated upon his throne. Silently, reverently, we gather about him with bowed heads and earnestly implore him to allow us just one Heeting glimpse beyond the great mystic curtain 0f the future. At first there is a firm refusal, based upon the grounds that it is in defiance of the laws of the gods, but by patient pleading we ultimately gain our request. Silence reigns. A voice speaks: iLOCie Matthews, Amelie Orr and Lucile Dearing will be held up as successful examples of perfect stenography. Everyone will be urged to use the famous Mat- thews-Orr-Dearing system. 4cRobert Branton, after six more years of diligent study, will become professor of the University of Illinois and within five weeks will have had such a great influence upon the students, that it will be absolutely imperative to discharge the new professor because they all will have taken up Robertls abominable habit of gum-Chewing. Wilhat shy, unpretentious little maid, Catherine Stallings, will be a brilliant opera singer. Her crowning success will be her return to Atlanta with the Metro- politan Opera C0. to sing before her many friends. ciReba Murphy, in all her feminine loveliness and Virtue will, within ten years, reign supremely in a luxurious home on the Hudson7 while a fond7 loving husband hovers in the background. Two years later, Melba Huie will follow in her footsteps. iiOtis Stephens and C. L. Mays will make their homes on a lonely desert ranch in southern Utah and devote their lives to the taming of bucking bronchos. i4ln 1930, Ethel Dowda will journey to Indo-China, where she shall labor, patiently and unceasingly, throughout her life, as a missionary. iLFay McWhorter, upon the night of her graduation from college, will become betrothed to a nice young Englishman in the employ of the British Government, and two months later will sail for London, where she will make her future home. HShould any of you ever chance down Broadway in 1936, the great, glaring, electrically lighted name of Dr. Elbert H. Holland, famous surgeon and philan- thropist, will confront you. Elbert, himself, will tell you that only by hard, diligent labor can such success be attained. i4After live years of careful exercise, Ruth Perry will grow to a height of five feet and six inches and then set sail for France to fill a long-desired positiona displaying gorgeous Parisian gowns. iiFor Eugene Damon, there will be two favorable aspects operating almost 1920 Pa Irv Tzumz fv- MM 5 .
