gi Page Twenty THE 1922 I saw Wilfred Rutherford comfortably married and settled in L. A. CLos Alamosl. Ellen Zanetti and Berniece Boyd are rivals for the leadership of New York's 400. Paul Sword and his wife, formerly Miss Gladys O'Shea are doing mission- ary work in Borneo. Mamie Vieira and Fay Brickey, I see, are teaching school in Guadalupe. Both Helen Rutherford and Abbie Argue are married and living in Santa Maria. Jack Stephan and Leona Bowers are in vaudeville and their latest offer- ing is said to be one of the cleverest acts on Broadway. The next vision was that of Ellis Smith, the only millionaire the class produced. A He made his fortune selling electric fans to the Eskimos. After making the All-American football team, Lawrence Wylie became heavyweight champion of the world and has now gone into business. f Leila Iliff is a swimming instructor at Pismo and has made Pismo one of the most popular resorts of its kind in the world. . Marguerite Wilson is a great educator and is now occupying her time attempting to disprove that Uorthogeny recapitulates philogenyf' i Margaret Robertson and Thelma Schock, former cooking sharks, have taken over the management of the U. S. Grill and are doing very well. Suddenly the crystal cleared, the visions vanished. I looked down at the old man, he had grown larger and more vicious looking, with an ugly leer on his face he was crawling towards me. I seemed powerless to move, he pulled out a gigantic -knife, the sight of which obscured everything else. Then I awoke with a convulsive start. I had but dreamed. K . Harold Rosenblum 'llc' 'sic' FOR A GRADUATE School days, school days, hey day of youth, the sculptor of man, Hours of pleasure and hours of toil, priceless and fleeting they go. Teachers who taught not, I might, but UI can, Who trained the young plant upward, the right way to grow. When, onward in the future, looking back through passing years, Will the goal they pointed out be reached by you and won, Will you yet be traveling on, ambition quelling all your fears, Growing ever upward, outward, till your work is closed and done? Laurie Sheppard.

IN 'WITNESS WHEREOIF' WE 'HAVE ISIEIT 'OUR IHAND AND ISEAL THIS NINTII-I DAY -OF JUNE IN 'DI-IE YEAR OF OUR IJORD, 'ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO. fSignedJ Class of June, l922, Santa Maria Union I'Iig chool 'JIT' 'BIS' SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY While carefully picking my way through the filth and squallor of one of the narrow alleys of old Bagdad, I was somewhat startled by a weird, dron- ing 'sound which came, seemingly, from directly under foot. Looking down hastily, I could perceive the wizened head of an old Arab, who was rolled up in his blankets. I Stooping for an instant, I could distinguish these words 'Praise to Allah. Wishest thou, wealthy stranger, to gaze in my magic crystal? Suddenly be- coming interested I tossed the creature a few cents and knelt down on the dirty rug he had spread for me. I'Ie then carefully withdrew from the inner- most recesses of his flowing garments a small crystal sphere which he laid on the rug. I'Ie then uttered a mysterious incantation and a heavy mist seemed to appear within the crystal. As the mist faded I recognized the crowded interior of the S. IVI. U. I'I. S. Auditorium with Raulin Ramos, Percy Porter and Russel Dudley soulfully playing a trio on the three massive pipe organs. Happening to be in Santa Maria on the same night these three musicians are giving a joint recital in honor of their home town. Next I saw julia Beeson in a nurse's uniform busy assisting in a dental office. lVIuch to my disappointment I could not recognize the dentist. The mist cleared again and I saw George Dunham leading his class in aesthetic dancing in Buena Vista Park. Then Arthur Martin appeared as a taxi driver in New York. It is said that he got so in the habit while going to high school that he simply had to continue. Next I caught a glimpse of Laurie Sheppard sitting in her office as city editor of the New York Times. She is talking over school days with Valentine Lotti, foreman of the press room and Ethel Penn, society editor. Next I saw Harold Rosenblum playing. the piano in Angus I-Iobbs' cafe in Tia Juana. Bessie Munger was the first woman to become Chief Justice of the United States and her court reporter Edna Tudor holds the worId's speed record. She can take notes at the rate of 675 words per minute.
