I could not make out what the strange phenomenal was at first, so I paid little attention to it. This vision kept flashing on and off before my eyes, until I decided to lay my work aside and see it thi'0Ugh- This is my vision revealed to you, showing you how my classmates will be occupied 25 years from now. Prophecy often is the logical continuance of the known into the un- known, and with the present knowledge we have of these classmates of '31, it should be a very easy matter to prophesy for about 25 years ahead. Since the Prophet does not have to prove that he is right, and no one can prove that he is entirely wrong, I feel safe in plunging headlong into the future.

1931 THE CHi4NTI'CLEER Class Poem EAR old abode of learning, Dear old familiar place, You've made pothooks in our memory That time can ne'er erase. We love your rooms and halls-g At least in retrospect, We can't quitesay we've felt that way When answers wer'nt correct. Dear old deserving teachers, Each of a kind warm heart, Forever thus you will be to us, Though time and distance part. We love your idiocrasies- Although We must admit To stint unlearned your glances burned, Your comments fairly bit. Dear old principal, Cast in a noble mold, We'll recollect you with respect Till all our years are told. We love your ways and methods- But, oh, your darkling calm When tempests blew ah, then we knew, Though guiltless, many a qualm. Dear old adoring schoolmates, Friends of our yesterdays, We can truly add we're a, Wee bit sad 0'er this parting of the ways. We love your awed devotion- But, oh, your childishness For Seniors to be seen with you Has caused us much distress. books MARTHA CATHERINE ELLISOR, Class Poet
