Prophecy Of Senior Class In the spring of 1919, with our impei-fect knowledge of the present activities, inclinations and desires of the members of the class of ' 19 we could hardly hope to claim any marked degree of certainty as to their future. But in the year 1930, as we look back over the intervening years we could see that those tendencies had led to certain inevitable conclusions. Malcom B. Wilcox, strong charactered and inspired doctor, had fulfilled our hopes with a life spent as a Medical Missionary in China. In that same distant country he occasionally met the gentle and modest teacher. Miss Martha McCutchen, whose life work had brought her likewise to the Chinese. Asa Climenhaga in a calm and quiet manner moved among the scholars of the day. His summers he spent in lecturing and travels; ofttimes those travels led him to the old Canadian home. Mrs. Mary Jones in a few years ' time had revolutionized the gi-eat librai-y sys- tems of the leading colleges. Then, her work complete in the home land, immediately following the graduation of her husband, Leroy, they sailed for forei,gn fields as Missionaries. Russell Fenstermacher won a place in the hearts of his parisoners — for he had gone out to preach the Gospel — by his earnest, humble, yet dignified manner. A passing thought would lead us to believe that he labored not alone. In the year 1919, Miss Elizabeth Dancey went from the halls of Taylor to do a noble work for her Christ; most of her time being spent in sacrificial labor in slum districts. Her philosophical unpretentiousness and genuine sincerity of effort proved not in vain. Ever a consistent leader, Joseph Imler distinguished himself in the Conferences of Indiana, after a few years in Boston Seminary. Time after time his churcih led the district in the great Centenary Movement. Yet it would seem that his success was not due to single efforts. Miss Ruth Maston, after a brief and brilliant career of teaching, forsook the schoolroom for the parsonage. There her entertaining ways and her dignified grace lent a charm to whatever she did. Robert S. McCutchen returned to his home state to take up a work in the North- west Nebraska Conference. There he labored in the same fashion as characterized his actions wherever he might be. Joy Stephenson found her place in the Sunny Southland. In the warm clime of Florida she spent some years as a teacher. But the call of the North became ir- resistible and she returned to be a real Joy in her native State. Out on the rolling plains of North Dakota, Axel Ekblad proved himself to be a worthy educator and a strong-handed man at any honest task. Corey Stephens gi-aced the parsonage of an Indiana Confei-ence by her kind- ness and devotion to Christian service. She always had a goodly disposition toward the Alumni of her Alma Mater. Ira J. Roberts went forth from Boston Seminary to preach the Truth. In an honest fashion he was interested in politics — especially Woman ' s Suffrage, He had a gi ' eat passion for the cause of the Black Man. E. E. Crabtree was urged by a strong call to the great open Northwest. He pioneered among the Conferences of Canadian settlers. There he emphasized the practicability of the Gospel in an earnest, business-like manner. The unassuming Olive E. Emerson could be satisfied only with a life spent in Christian work. She worthily fulfilled the hopes of her classmates by her ' quiet- ness of demeanor. 24
