[L K!TO© K) Senior Class Prophecy HORTLY after my graduation from college I fell heir to a coffee plantation in Brazil which was bequeathed to me by my Great Grandmother on my Uncle ' s side of the family. This fact of course changed my entire plans and 1 set sail at once for that land wherein fortune lies for me. But all men have a desire to come back and look their old Alma Mater over after having been away from her halls for some time and thus one day on the spur of the moment I packed up and. set out for the U. S. A. In my journey home I found that the people of Selinsgrove had realized their dream and that the Susquehanna river was now a navigable stream and that my ocean liner could sail right up the old river and weigh anchor at Selinsgrove. On the boat I met two of my old classmates. Of Katie McCormick, now a Salvation Army lass, I inquired, Whatever be- came of Marie Romig and Mabel Steffen? She informed me that Marie and Mable were running a beautv parlor in Baltimore and also that the last she heard of Mildred Winston she was touring the south in a canvas covered wagon selling Household Remedies. The other classmate on board was C. I. Fisher, now a notable and famous surgeon. Clarence said that only last week in the clinic he operated on Harry Swanger, Postmaster on the Presi- dent ' s last Cabinet. On reaching the old town I found that quite a number of my old class- mates had never left the place but were now engaged in business. Bill Decker, Hartman and Bogar were running a bucket shop in the place formerly occupied by Eddie Taylor ' s beanery. A little farther down the street I read a sign Cyril M. Zechman, Undertaking Parlors. I bury others. Why not you? Mathias Moller had also founded a school of aesthetic danc- ing in connection with the University and had, as his partner, Olive Salem, late of The Follies. I walked down the street to Jimmie Styers News stand and bought a paper. Turning to the editorial page I was surprised to find that Kaugle had ,i, r iven up the ministry in order to edit the Selinsgrove Times. Thinking of amusements for the evening I turned to that section and found that Robert Bastian, the eminent Shakespearian actor, and Russel Steininger, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, were giving a joint recital in town that evening.
