I-Ie is now athletic coach in the Minnesota State University at St. Paul. Sam Jackson used to be Hi-Y president in school. Did he develop any ability alozig that line? Yes, he is now one of the National Y. M. C. A. men. Ile is living in a fine home at Boston. By the way, you remember Jacob Meisner-used to work at Spring's Dairy. Well he is now manager of one of the Fairmont Creameries in Detroit. Lester Alderfer is a contractor back in Pennsylvania. He is making a big suc- cess, especially in constructing tall buildings. Myron West has a big truck garden outside of Washington, D. C. It is said that he supplies one fourth of the City of Vlfashington with vegetables. 'Mabel Wempe and Vera McCoy are still just like sisters, both working as steno- graphers in the Woolworth building in New York. Clarence Bohn has taken over what used to be the Woodbury farm, and is mak- ing a big success in raising hogs. 1'5erniece Vickrey is teacher of History and Civics back in S. H. S. She also sponsors all the school plays. Marjorie Stone is head of Commercial Department in S. H. S. Millard Whitesell is now one of the head men in the Trans-Continental Air Mail Service. His skill as a mechanic led him into a work he never dreamed of in school. Floyd Moore was one of Joseph's helpers on his farm. Harold Ralston is head of Men's Clothing Store in Hiawatha, Kansas. His side hobby is still being a cheer leader when ever he gets a chance. Alice Puff made such a success at Noyes Hospital, that she is now surgical nurse at Mayo Bros. Hospital in Rochester. So we continued to talk ol olden days as Joseph showed me about his wonderful farm. Thenwo got in their airplane and went to Kansas City, 300 miles wonderful farm. Then we got in his airplane and went to Kansas City, 300 miles away, to attend an evening pink tea. While there I saw Mary Phillips and Lorine Wenger sitting on the opposite side of the room. I fou'nd that Mary was writing for a Movie Magazine, as she always wanted to do like Dorothy Manners. Lorine went with the wealthy people on their 'trips abroad, as an interpreter of foreign languages. I asked them if they knew anything about Mildred Durst. They told me that Mildred and Thelma Carpenter were travelling with an opera troupe in Europe and were soon coming back to tour America. Mary said that Bertha McClanahan was house mother of the girls of Stephens Col- lege, and that she was very well liked by girls. Lorine told me that Melba Durst was now one of the editors of the Kansas City Star. . ' I also learned that Robert Murray was the City manager of Topeka. He was draw- ing a salary of nearly 38,000 a year. ' They also told me that Lorma Flott was county superintendent of schools for Nemaha County, Kansas. Mary told me that Harold Zimmerman was a professional football player, but sl1e couldn't remember what team of which he was a member. Just then Velora Ridnour stepped on the scene, as owner of this big beautiful hotel. It' is the largest in Kansas City and one of the prettiest in U. S. She announced that the first number on the program that evening was a number by Baker Glee Club. To my surprise I found that Leslie Dissette was president of Baker. I always knew Leslie would make a good teacher but never dreamed of his making such a success. At the conclusion of this wonderful evening the Spirit of Prophecy suddenly rolled down her mystic curtain and the future was forever closed to my eyes. I took the train back again to Sabetha and now I am ready to commence the battle of life for which we have been preparing through all our high school days.

, XO CLASS PROPHECY I was weary of the toil and ncrvous strain of graduation week and wishing to seek ri quiet haven where I could have perfect rest and recuperate before entering on actual duties of life for which my Normal Training Course had prepared me, I took the train and was swiftly wafted away from the scene of my youth. After riding for days on the train they called the Cannon Ball, I stepped out at the edge of a great body of 'water whose extent I could not guess but whose waters washed strange lands. Feeling that this was the land of perfect rest, I sank upon, the soft moss to cone- tcmplate my surroundings. All at once I heard a rustling sound and there appeared be- fore my eyes a phantom form and it said: am the spirit of prophecy, the angel of things to come, and with her mystic touch she rolled back the curtain of the dim Beyond and permitted me to gaz-5 down the vista of things yet to be, that I might be- hold all things that are, transformed into all things that they shall yet become. Then pointing down long avenues in the strange land she said, Now your eyes are epen and the future is made clear to you, prophesy to members of the Senior Class of 1927 in S. H. S. what things shall come to pass in their lives as the years roll on and the sands of time run out. In the distance I beheld a great building and rising from my mossy seat I sped thither to see what it might contain. I soon found that the Spirit of Prophecy had eli- minateil both time and space so that what seemed moments might be years and what seemed rods might be thousands of miles. As I entered the building I found myself in a strange land and among strange people. A brightly dressed guard bowed low as I entered and I asked himf to show me the master of the house. He led me through many hallways and at last into a splendid room. As I entered a young lady arose from her desk. As I approached her I fairly screamed-Fern Yost. Yes, there she was, having realized her highest ambition to be head of a great mission school. I soon found out that Camille Bowman was head nurse in the hospital connected with the school. Fern summoned her in. I soon heard beautiful music in thc distance. I went in the direction from which the music seemed to be coming. At last I entered another great building where a splendid orchestra was entertaining a large audience. What place is this? I asked of the usher. This is the Burke Institute of Music. That is the owner leading the orchestra. They are all his pupils. He employs dozens of teachers and has many hundreds of stu- dents. He is a musical and business wonder! As the music ceased I shook hands with him and sure enough it was our Elgin Burke. When I had recovered from my astonishment I asked him if he knew anything of Horace Moulton. Yes, he has made such a success that he- is now one of the head men at Anapolisf' Then I asked him if he knew where Earle Shulenberger was. Yes, he is pastor, with two assistant pastors under him at the largest Methodist church in New 'York City. The next day Horace came up for a visit with Elgin so we all went to see and hear our classmate Earle Shully in the pulpit. We happened to sit down by a person who looked very familiar, and who should it be but Frances Hughes. After a brief conver- sation I found that she was making money fast as an interior decorator. The crowded city vanished and I stood before a splendid home in the midst of a great orchard. While wondering who the prosperous owner could be an automobile drove up and a very self important gentlemen alighted and-ein spite of his mustache I recognized Joseph Aberle. He said he had developed a seedless white blackberry that Burbank had tried in vain to produce and from it he had made a fortune. After congratulating him on his success I began to inquire about our scattered class. Have you heard of Ina Root? Yes, he replied, she has just been elected state senator in Nevada. I told him I always knew Ina had executive ability. James Martin was always a smart chap. What do you know of him? I guess, we 1 1 .. . . , .f 'W .-ee ?' I.
