Dear, dear to think that I couldn’t find out my fate. The sand lightly slips back into place and I can tell no more. Ob ! for another look into the future. But I guess that my chance is gone. Soft, slipping, silently the sand has disappeared. Gertrude Greene, Prophrf. Seventeen

CLASS FMOFHECY One sunny afternoon, as I lay on tlie beach picking u]) tlie soft, slij)})ing, white sand and letting it drift slowly through my lingers, I began to think of this sand as time. Time! slowly but surely gliding through my lingers. Yes, the sands of time arc j)assing. As my mind wanders through this labyrinth of thoughts I suddenly sec a storm approaching, the clouds slowly ] ass and I see thousands of spies. I look more closely: Soft, sli) ping silence. As my jiroplietic soul, scorning more modern aids, seeks for some sweet, ancient oracle, there s] rcads before my gaze, as through ;i mystic haze, a clear, swift juanorania. I sec now ])lainly, now dimly, but tliese things I see and show to you: A high room slowly unfolds before me and, can it be true. Yes! it is some of my chassmatt ' s of 1D3!).
