Class Prophecy An article published in the Monmal for October, 1920, ran as follows: ► I I “All the students and alumni of M. S. X. C. will be interested to hear of the wonderful success of Mr. Joseph Carroll, the inventor, who was a member of the class of 1910. The practicability of one of Mr. Carroll’s inventions, the Ouiji-phone, has just lately been proven. The Ouiji-phone combines the advantages of a phonograph with those of a Ouiji-board. We are pleased to learn that all the predictions of the ()uiji-phone for the class of 1910 have come true. When consulted by the class in 1910, the Ouiji-phone answered as follows: “In the year 1910, I see Etta Reynolds successfully conducting the primary department of a large school in Xew York. “I s ee Jessie Montgomery conducting cases against the most eminent attorneys of the country, and her success is marvelous. “I see Gladys Winters a missionary in Africa, and although her attention sometimes wanders from her work to the book she carries, she is doing a great deal of good. “I see Jennie Noble teaching Orthography in one of Chicago’s foremost schools and although some of her methods are very new, her work progresses well. “Alke Conway, whose loving nature was frequently commented on at school, is the ha ny wife of a college professor. Mary Gorman, whose clever speeches you will all remember. is rea ing the benefit ol the campaign she so ably forwarded and is now spea! er in the House of Re resentatives. “Pearl Eaton, always of a scientific turn of mind, is one of the lOremost ’ hysicians in the Lnited States. “Mildred Weenink is illustrator for a famous publishing house, and tells us that the practice she got on the Monmal and Chinook has done much for her success. “Hazel Duncan’s career will surprise a great many, who felt that Hazel was devoted to her profession. Hazel taught barely long enough to get her life diploma, and then she narrowed her efforts and took charge of a class of one. “Jessica Alspaugh is the editor-in-chief of the Xew York Star, and is. in this capacity, demonstrating her ability to make other people work. “Clara Kermode is running an enterprise in opposition to Miss Alspaugh. She is editor of the Xew York Comet. “Agnes Rossiter is the secretary of a very prominent club, is one of the foremost club-women of Montana. “Beulah Harrison has gained distinction as a scientist, and is at present conducting a series of experiments, which, if successful, will bring her great fame. “Myrtle McKillican is well known as an indefatigable worker for the betterment of social conditions in San Francisco. “Elva Wilson has gone to Europe, and is still studying, for she was not satisfied with having graduated from two colleges. “Selma Bondeson is teaching mathematics at Smith. This will not surprise those who remember Miss Bondeson’s mathematical genius. “Emma Johnson has succeeded Mrs. Owsley and is acting at matron at M. S. X. C. “Etta Brainard is one of the promising journalists of the Western United States. “Lucie Xutterville, whom you will all remember as having been deeply interested in domestic science, is making practical use of the course she took in that subject.”

Senior Class History In the fall of 1907 the merry Freshmen met one evening at thehome of Jessie Poindexter and organized their class. Of all that band three only are with us now as Seniors, Mettie, Etta and Hazel. Some le.t school, and others had a change of heart and took the decree course. At the beginning of our Junior year a bevy of new girls, recent graduates from various high schools, came to join us. We welcomed them gladly and settled down to good, hard work. On the night before Junior Sunday, we hung our banner on the tele hone wires between the College and the Dormitory. The Freshmen es' ied it. and great was the battle waged thereof. But the Juniors were victorious and triumphantly carried the banner clown to dinner on Junior Sunday. The great event of our Junior year though, was the banquet given to the Seniors on the twelfth of June. As Seniors we began bv n eeting in Miss Bettes’ room and ado ting and re-signing our (institution of the year before. As the autumn leaves were falling we began our practice work, and many were the trials and troubles we encountered in “teaching the young idea how to shoot.” But we struggled valiantly on. and now the goal we see before us is our “shee s: in.’ “Yes. this is loo' ing bar; ward. But now is commencement time, We should be looking forward So that must change the rhyme.” —24—
