Q l W Twenty-Eight Senior Prophecy YANDERING aimlessly not long ago, I was attracted to a dilapidated shop by the queerness of its display. Nothing of any value seemed to be exposed throuugh the cracked and fly specked glass. A worn and deeply nicked scythe rested in the corner, While a spent hour glass covered with dust completed the incongruous exhibition. Upon entering I found Father Time seated in an old rickety chair sound asleep. Loud snores issuing from his cavernous mouth shook him to the depth of his gaunt and bony skeleton. Looking over his shoulder, I discovered a massive volume which I found to be the Book of Fate, its smudged pages glowing with prophecies that heretofore only Time could tell. Its pages were opened by some enigmatic chance to the year 1944. With all due deference to venerable Father Time, I still felt it my duty to my classmates to find what would be their fates.
