He was o11e of the best sports on the trip to lVashington! Well, to be frank-he's a good sport every day in tl1e week! If he keeps 011 working in tl1e next four years as he has in the past three, Mike will certainly be a success. LETHA JULIA VOORHEES ' ' VooRHEEs ' ' Stamford, New York Une of our class is Letha dear, But that 's not the fact that I must make clear, Her name is Voorhees now you see, But it is not always so to be. Letha Voorhees, one of the quiet members of our class, has not taken much part in school activities. Perhaps this is because l1er greatest attraction is not in school. Letha nevertheless has changed our geographical idea of things. lVe understand that she has a 'fCleveland in Massa- chusetts, and that this is her favorite place. However, we hope that Letha will stay with us a while yet. P R O P H E C Y l stretched lazily and comfortably as I gazed into tl1e fire. I was drowsy and I must have fallen asleep. In a flame of memory I seemed to see a face, a familiar face. Archibald Canfield of course! I went to school with him at Stamford Seminary. As I continued to watch the fire '4Archie lived a life of varied experiences. He worked a short time on his father's farm before attending Thanatopsis Theological Seminary. Archie preached for a number of year. He was a very suc- cessful but l1is continued investigation and reading led him to enter a. monastery. He appeared to be writing his auto- biography when the scene changed and I saw Bernice Clark. Bernice was graduated from a well known business col- lege and became at most successful business woman.

During her sophomore year, Loney took more interest in outside activities. Since tl1e beginning of her senior year HLoney has changed her idea of a good time. Now all she needs or wants to make her happy is a slippery dance floor a11d a jazzy or' chestra. Still, however, Loney,s card lacks a touch of the scarlet, and she continues to translate her jaw-breaking Latin phrases. She has added to her scholastic ability, this year. the art of writing chemical formulae which cover the en- tire blackboard. MICHAEL JOHN JOSEPH VAMOSY MIKE Stamford, New York A boy that knows his lessons, A boy that we all like, He'd never skip a session- That's our studious Mike, Mike is another of our three yearn graduates Zllld he certainly l1as worked to obtain this goal. No task is too great for him. Added to his heavy school work he helps at home, four miles away-and walks to and from school every day. He has never taken part in athletics because he has been too busy. Mike has a great future as a classic dancer.

She was hailed as a second Bernhardt and played before large audiences. She was the favorite actress of the Spanish king, but she decided that recognition by the public was not tl1e sweetest thing in life, so she returned to Stamford and her old friends. Next, I saw Edward Decker. He continued his study of tl1e saxophone u11der a noted professor of music. Later, he in- vented a method by which the saxophone could be used for classical music. Edward was disappointed in a love affair with an old school mate of his. His sorrow inspired him to write beautiful music, and tl1e most famous of his compositions was entitled LoneCljy . Edna Dobson took a business course and became the pri- vate secretary of tl1e se11ior pa1'tner of a large manufacturing company. Edna continued to work here and was so well liked that her employer left her his share of the business when he died. The business was very successful but after several years Edna left illld became one of the stars in a. happy romance. Marjorie Fink attended college and graduated with high honors. Her editorials on 'tRiding as a Sport and a Health- giving Exercise won her fame. She became tl1e owner of a stable of racing, saddle horses that broke 11ot only American but also European records. Marjorie was a bachelor girl. James Govern was very much impressed with the plays he saw while he was in Washington, so after commencement he went to New York and attended many plays.
