CLASS PROPHECY As I drifted over Hawaii I stopped for a brief visit. The people were carrying on bravely in the face of their disaster. I was saddened to find the schools suffering so for lack of teachers. I offer the challenge to you. EvELYN Brown: I can’t wait to go. I have always wanted to travel and teach. MaZzELLE HEAvVNER: I want to go with you and teach Home Economics. On and on I traveled until I came to Australia. I found the soldiers begging for more Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus Workers, and U. S. O. entertainers. BacHMAN Brown: Since I plan to study for the ministry I shall go at once to Australia. INEZ Warp: I see where I can use my musical talent as a U. S. O. entertainer. When I landed in China I realized for the first time just what it actually means to those people to have the light of religion brought to them. Won’t some of you volunteer for that great cause? Rusy Scronce: Yes, I have always wanted to go to the foreign fields. GEORGE Rosinson: I shall go as a medical missionary. As I made a survey of Europe, I found so many places of need. I can only mention a few. The plight of the little French children was pitiful. They were in crowded places while their parents tried to work. They need day nurseries, nutrition workers, and playground instructors. SaLLIE Kate WaruicK and Let1a Houser: That’s my call. ’'d love to work in the day nursery. Mary B. Carpenter: I shall go as a nutrition worker. DapHINne Sain: And I as a playground instructor.
