' '':::::::::::::v-SHS-::e:::::::::::::::.' ' ' ' Class Prophecy As the class of 1924 was contemplating its coming commencement exer- cises. it fell to my lot to forecast the future of these fair damsels and gallant young men. After vainly endeavoring to cultivate what is commonly known as second sight,', I concluded that prophetic vision was not my strongest point, but nearly a quarter of a century later it was my good fortune to learn the fate of those young ladies and gentlemen who were once careful and happy school girls and boys in the dear old t-own of Friendship. It came about in this way: While on my way to the ranch to become a cow-girl, in the great and wonderful West, I happened to be in an extremely strange city and lo! as I walked up the street I met Juniata Scott who had just driven in from Jones- bora Where s'hc said she was keeping a store and living alone. Lawrence Fry, I afterward learned, had played her false and she remained an old maid. From here I went to Davenport and while walking about the streets I was attracted by a sign which read, '4VVe can increase your height, short people do not despair. I opened the door and there stood a blonde lady, very slim and tall and immediately I recognized her as Viola Jansen. I made my way out to Adams where I met Doris Fry, who had taken unto herself a husband and together they were demonstrating the value of cereals of all description. Then the scene changed and I found myself in Denver where I met my old chum John Last. After he left school ,he formed 'a beauty show, himself the greatest attraction. Farther down the street I met Henrietta Schroder who was just return- ing home. I learned from her that she was teaching at a university here. Agfter entering Carson City, Nevada, I had to wait some time for the next train and decided to go to a. theatre. Upon entering my attention was drawn to two ladies on the stage and I recognized them as my school-mates, Elva Clark and Minnie Lupps. Twenty-two

After reaching my point of destination in that wild and Wooly NVQ-st, the first log cabin that came into View was only a small distance from the station so I went to it and found it to be a ranclu-r's cabin. The first person that came to my sight was Carolyn Last. She had married a rich and hand- some cowboy and were living here, so I stayed with them. Upon returning to my native state of Illinois for a short visit, I passed through the small town known as Durand. On one of its most prominent business sections my attention was directed to a large sign Marriage Broker, Room 502, 5th floor. Of course, being an old maid, I was attracted by this sign and immediately made my way to room 502. I asked for the manager and whe11 she appeared I recognized the voice and exclaimed, Why Marian Murphy! At the time of our graduation, we did not realize what We were to be- come in the future. But I firmly believe that our High School education, with help of our teachers, furnished the firm foundation for our positions in life. --Pearl Beuth. ....IIIIIIIII.. .IIIIIIIIIIIII' ..I.IIIIII...I...........IIIIII .....I.IIIIII IIIIIIIIIIHFPI9241'4HIIIIIIIIIIIII..............
