SENIOR GLASS PROPHECY I am Sesamie Selassie, sole descendant of a family which for 2,000 years has been affiliated with the highest heads of the aristocracy and monarchies of the world. My grestwgrestwgreatugreatmuncle was employed by Ghengis Khan. Another distant relative was with Caesar. Pooransagl Just because my ancestor Was the black sheep of the family, he would not listen. But our family was great. And now it is dying. You see our family is one of mystic gazers, foretellers of the supernatural, h prOH phesiers of the unknown future. uwGreet, but dying. But listen for I shall tell you members of the Senior Class of i5? end all the rest of the world what lies in store for you in vast unknown depths of futures. Shhhi Silencewit is coming to me. I see a dense fag unraveling. 1--- see the figure of a men. It is Frank Hansen. He is new owner of huge steamshipcompanies. His ecquistion was made after an unbounding intern est in travel which caused him to make an excursion down the Mississippi River. So far good luck: Another figure comes through the fog. It is that of Otte Marquardt. Poor fellow: The first of the bad luck has paws. As his driving ambiu tion would have it he became a millionerie. He made his money in cigee rettes. But his greed was too much. He married endinow has eight heirs with which to supply cars, money, and the like; Pod? Fellole But alas, I tire. I am old and dyingy Our family was great, now dying. I will go on; beer with me. I see a huge shinning object with a figure on it.J It is that of Do W. Erickson. He is Sitting on the worldis largest diamond. In thisw latter part of his life he is sole owner of Solomonls Diamond Mines. It will take many years to find them, but he will stumble quite unexpectw edly on them while hunting in Africa. His luck was always good. I see one chair empty in a future class reunion. It is that of Willa ism Nelsen. However, he is not deceased. He is at an important Senate meeting. He is now Senator from Wisconsin. After a college educationwu he entered the field of engineering, only to turn to politics in later years. He will be remembered long after his passing. Now the picture is unclear. I see a figure but it is hazy. Ah5 Now it is clear. Major Robert Shady is in front of a beard of reviewing ofb ficers. Another one plagued by bad luck, he is being severely repriu mended for his radical views on individual air travel to the moon: a thing which is to come before his passing; However the path will be strewn with both hardship and glory for Major aBoba. The next figure I see is that of Mrs. Edward Jemininkes, better known as the former Miss Jeanette Webie. She is now happily married and the mother of five daughters. Before she married, she perfected a new place ment of keys on a typewriter; Next I see the figure of big game hunter William Jacobson. He is now a very competent guide and was a guide for many presidential hunting --- parties. It all stemned from a government job in Africa. NanCy Trinrud is now Vice President of the Hardware Mutuals Company. She got her start with a job which she acquired after graduation fromp high school. Because her career was so promising she took a Callege course through the mail. It took her twenty years to get where she did. Alas, I am very weak and am going fast. But take my heed for allw shall come to pass. One more figure is seen. It is that of a brilliant electrical engineer, Mr. Harlan Van Metre. He has made much money and friends in the social set because of his electrical inventions. It is finished: Heed my words! I go to my family. Alas, I dieliilll
