IL ARTij ' W©! Strolling down the street with a big fat cigar in his mouth 1 met Jim Shannon who told me that he was engaged in the second-hand clothing busi- ness and that Chubby was none other than the University Pastor trying to keep the students on the straight and narrow path. Mose Ritter had succeeded Joe Seaman in the dancing academy and had also an advertisement in the paper announcing the return engagement of Jim Goss and his Saxophone Sextette. In this same paper appeared an account of a lecture given by Dr. Burns Satan Rearick, Chaplain for Barnum Bailey ' s circus and several other things of lesser importance. I had an interview with Bill Decker and inquired concerning brother Knorr and found that shortly after graduation, Hank had been successful in inventing a Caseous Cocktail and was now living a retired life on the income of his investments. As for Aurand and Russ Stettler. two other bright lights of the class, they turned out well. Aurand is now a metallurgist for a wooden automobile company in Detroit while Stettler holds a line position as grindstone inspector in the same plant because of his ability to see deep into things. Decker was also able to tell me that Cole and Dunmire now had a chain of Jigger shops running from Delaware Bay to the Golden Gate. I stepped out upon the street to inquire information and found the police- man to whom I spoke to be none other than our old friend Getty. He said that he and Deacon Sweeley were still Federal agents as well as partners in a detective agency located in Sunbury. How about Ellis and Milo Lecrone I inquired. Oh Milo is a race horse chiropractor in Kentucky while Ellis holds a responsible position as football coach in an Old Ladies Home. Good and Walker also are in a partnership concern. Walker being an eminent lawyer while Good is a professional witness for divorce cases. Concerning the last three members of the class I learned that Bohner had become quite a society man and had the title of Chief Nabisco Eater on Broadway. Kuster had been married right after Commencement to a western damsel as well as three Iowa farms and Red Benner was now a Professor of Philosophy at a southern university. So in these few paragraphs I have tried to set forward the fact that fate rules supreme and we are all destined to be something in this big world and that we must all look forward to taking our place and carrying our share of the world ' s work.

[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.
