1 fr .h . w- t Senior Prophecq QQ LITTLE more sulphuric acid, thought Ellis Hendrickson, as he stirred the dark mixture which was to be a world- famous invention, and into a thick mass he poured it. At once a loud report rang through the vicinity, the chemistry room filled with green smoke. When it cleared away nothing but a hole in the ceiling remained to tell the possible fate of our classmate. Fifteen years passed in a vain search for the lost man. Then one foggy night Neal McKay, star air mail flyer from the Pacific Coast, landed on a solid cloud formation and there beheld Ellis, still stirring his chemicals. After a whoop of joy Ellis continued on his invention. It would be finished next year and, until then noth- ing could make him return to earth. Loneliness was killing him, however, so Neal rigged up a radio receiver and after many groans and coughs a loud buzzing was heard and over the wires came the following: 6'Station S.VV.H.S., United States of America, broadcasting throughout the universe. Ellis became tense because he was hoping for news of his old class- mates, when be hadn't heard of for over fifteen long years. At least, after a few more squawks and screams the news ot' the day was sent out. Station S.W.H.S. On this date our new lpresident Donald Forsland will take his office, making the former sther Elbert the lady of the land. Vice- president Allen Freeman has just been impeached on account of carrying on a peanut race in Congress, the shells he threw behind the radiators. . Our great orator James Lamb, just returned from a trip a- broad, gives his views on the feminine sex. He says while in China he recognized a number of old peddlers among whom were, VVal- ter Bargewell, Helen Batchart, Donald Finch, Kathleen Coghill and Lamonte Grisham. All reported good business. Recently-SQUAWK'-G r o a ne-an automobile driven by Adolph Fredrickson collided with a Ford driven by Byron Byrne. As a result two green graves are attended to by-Della Montgomery Dewey, chief mourner. A raving maniac, Tom McGinnis broke his padded cell and killed his bed-fellow Arno Lockwood, Arno being here because he couldn't learn to lisp. Edith Anderson was wed to Jim Bettcher today, another wed- ding was that of Luretta Bishop to Elwyn Dameron. Both brides will live as near their husbands as possible. BANG!!! WHEEZE!!! A bedtime story entitled, Why Everett Melick Left Home will Twenty-five.
