A O PEACEFULLY dream of the future of fifty-nine men, with a room-mate sawing woodf, to become hypnotized or mesmerized xl? with as many attractive diversions as there are in the Veterinary R Department of the University of Pennsylvania, and to see weird , ' tl,-i A things or tell strange tales outside of Blocklev 3' are some of the l igl . 5 . . . 5 ' ' . impossib-ilties that a Class Prophet has to contend with. But, 15.5.3 vfiiiiif . X regardless of these facts, the Class of l9l2 is to have a prophecy. The people of the world to-day recognize what a great influ- ence the sun, moon, stars and planets have on each and everyliving object. They not only determine the man of the present, but also his achievements in after years. According to astrology, the life of each individual is influenced by the position of the planets at the time of birth, so after a careful study of the dates and places of birth of each member of our class, I am able to make the following deductions as to the stars that influence their lives: VVhile the sun has greatly modeled the lives of Reeder, Carter, Dolan, Fiedler and Herron, the moon in turn has its influence on Klein, Carosella, VVhiteman, lack Quigley and Eames. Note how like the planet Apollo are Runyan, Her- bott, Miller, Schell, M. Quigley, Kaufman, Rogers, Haen and Boylan, while Morpheus controls the lives of Kingston, Neuhaus, VV. McGroarty and Linberg. Vllestcott, being born in Maine, is under planet Tnfinitesimal, while Agnus Dei gov- erns the lives of Behrens, Koster, Howell, Kuehner and Gwiner. ln the rays of Elite we see Steinbach, Patrick, Mitterling, Fisher, Harkins and Crreenwoodg in the paths of Antiquity, Vlferntz and Shue, and in Cupidls silent clutch Feist, Riley. Devine, Davis, Beattie, Taylor, Michener, B. McGroarty, Moyer and Mumma. Darrow, Haskell, Flaherty and Dennis are hypnotized by The Grizzly Bear, Vlfendkos and Milman by star Abraham, and the quintet Little, Haley, Bushong, Harris and Boerner by the planet Better-half. Vlfith this preliminary determination and with knowledge of the location of these various influential bodies, I shall be able to predict the future careers of each member of our class. In Chicago, we will find Mitterling in meat inspection, and, as has long been his wish, he will b'ecome an inventor of the to be famous book-holder, with which a book is held in position in front of you so that when walking you will lose no time in reading. Wfe will also find Neuhaus in meat inspection. l-le will be located at San Francisco. ll6

However, his work along educational lines will not cease, as shown by his interest in school teachers. Two other members of our class will enter meat inspection. Herbott will be located at Berks, Second and Girard Avenue, and will become a leader in society of Fishtown, while Kuehner will be located at Manayunk and will become famous for the invention of a non-breakable bottle, suitable for carrying in the coat pocket. ' 'Erie County will have two new men in professional work-Wlerntz, with his political ability, will become milk inspector and canine specialist of his county, and Rogers will become a veterinary dentist after demonstrating anatomy for one year at Cornell University. After finishing a six weeks' contract with each Philadelphia veterinarian, Howell will go on the road as general manager for Parke, Davis Sz Company. Riley will be married on July 4, 1912, and, as has been his wish, will become the one successful veterinarian of Allentown, New jersey. Swine will be his specialty, especially those weighing over eight hundred pounds. Milman, after graduating, will go to Cornell as demonstrator of post mortem technique. Wfill Harris ever quit breeding Boston terriers? Yes, in 1920 he will be- come businessmanager of the Boston Buglef' ' Michener, after taking a pretty little Doylestown girl as aipartner in life, will become highly successful along professional lines. In 1915, the Bureau of Animal Industry of Maryland will be greatly strength- ened by the election of Reeder as its chief. He will also be manager of the Baltimore Easterns. b Feist will become more widely known than Schreiber for his work in animal photography, which he began while yet a resident surgeon in the Veterinary Hospital. The State of New -lersey will have as its chief milk inspector Dr. George Bushong, and, during his idle moments, George will be making a quiet little sale of veterinary instruments. In VVilliamsport, Pennsylvania, we will find one of our best professional men, Little. Vlfhen he is on his last journey he will still be argufying. Wfe will find, if we come black to Philadelphia in 1915. two leading veteri- narians, Davis and Koster. Davis will be located in Frankford, while Koster will oontrol South Philadelphia, In 1917, Koster will become assistant editor of The Horse Reviewfl and in the same year Davis will start in with a helpmate from his old resort at Frankford. ' Carter will be the only available veterinarian in Norristown in a few years, as he will have won prestige by his success. ln Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, we will find Carosella, famed not only for his achievements as a veterinarian, but also for his singing, which will be on a par with that of his predecessor, Caruso. Harkins will be found managing the Mulford Laboratories in 1915, having gained this position through his efficient and valued work in vaccine production. After a few years' practice in Delaware, Taylor will return to Norwood and accept a position with Dr. Harkins. Every night you will see him hurrying home to greet his loving wife and Frank XV.
