As one of the spectators in the corner, I kept my eyes fastened on her hands as they moved over the board. I had a vaguely uneasy feeling which in- creased as the silence grew heavier. Finally the medium opened her lips and called a name-my name. For the moment I was too stupified to speak, and I sat dumbly petrified. She repeated my name and added: A spirit calling itself Zuu Zuu has something to tell you. I summoned my voice from the far depths whither it had fled and answered that I would take the message. The medium then continued: She has a message for you to give Ernest Harris. Within five years he will be Professor of Astronomy at G. P. S., and will often take the members of his class to observe the heavenly bodies at night. Tell him, on no account, to lead these young ladies to Cameron Hill in the neigh- borhood of West Sixth Street. Should he disregard this warning, I see trouble, and a great deal of explaining to be done by Ernest. A short silence, then again the medium spoke. I have other messages for you. Zuu Zuu says that a friend of yours named Katherine Conn will be married within a year. She is as yet undecided which of two men to marry. She will be very happy if she follows the advice given her by Allah Axiom on this subject. An important message for 'Big Boy' Eldridge. He will buy a chicken farm this summer. He must devote all his time and energies to the chickens-the feathered kind-and must endeavor to forget Emma Jane. She will be happier with someone else. Tell Carrol Denton to give up the teaching project. He will make more money as a labor agitatorf' A pause. The room was oppressively still. At last the medium broke the silence. Zuu Zuu has something for you to tell May Louise Beckham. She will have a decision to make at the end of three years. Tell her that there is as much variety in the life of a minister's wife as there is in that of a stage favorite. After three years' study of music she should be lfully qualified to lead the church choir, if that is the only quality she ac s. Tell Noel Cardwell that he must completely revise his flirtatious nature. A sacrifice of boxes of Nunnally's candy and of special delivery letters from Birmingham will be necessary before he will be worthy of a good choir leader. A message for Annie Cameron. Annie will be society reporter for the Times for two years. She will make no mistake in becoming a mis- sionary at the end of that time. Tell Clyde Newell that his three years' study of Chemistry I and II at U. C. were not wasted. He will find the knowledge gained in this study invaluable. The experiments which he will perform will be looked upon as miracles by his congregation at Luney Creek, and will draw large crowds to hear his sermons. He will eventually be famous.

r-7... Figs-iffiii 'x 'l ffkwfdf PX '!XL-A - 'M-Mcmxx Senior Class History Four years ago the present Senior Class-then numbering about fifty students-entered the University of Chattanooga. After the manner of 'Fish' we made a noisy entrance, and it did not take the upper classmen long to learn that we were here, and that if everything suited us We might stay awhile. Everything did suit, and we had all decided to add a little more dignity, take the management of the college into our own hands, and become sophomores-when a bugle sounded. When the war came a great majority of our young men entered the various branches of government service. Many of our girls also left their studies here, and went into whatever field of work called them. In this world struggle, as on the football field, in basketball games, debating and dramatics, we won, of course, but in the strife two of the best of the class of 1920 made the supreme sacrifice for country and for Alma Mater. In this happy commencement season, we do not forget our classmates, Parke Robb and Dean Farris, who in the fall of 1916 smilingly entered college with us-and later smilingly and bravely left us, never to return. Of our present number we have four returned soldiers of whom we're justly proud, several athletic stars, an orator, actors and actresses-and everything. And as to scholarship, even the faculty has to wonder and exclaim, Remarka.ble! Yes, indeed, there is one of our number who makes 99 in all quizzes even though she does have outside interests. In work and play we have followed and ever been guided by that old motto- Tout bien ou rien. During our four college years-four of the most progressive years in the history of the college-we have been helped to take progressive steps, too, and we hope that in some small degree we may have helped in U. of C.'s upward march. To her we have given all our strength and efforts in the past-in the future she will iind us ever ready for whatever duty she calls us. Class Prophecy The room was dark, totally dark, except for one small faint patch of light. There was no sound but an odd, creaky sound that came from within the splotch of light. Several persons in a tensely expectant at- titude were huddled together in one corner of the room, straining their eyes toward the light. In the center of the illumined space a woman was hunched over something which she had before her. The scene was noth- as ea Q Sea Q gf N, im fa ff?

f Amr X f Noc,cAs1N - L-A 'IQTTAN no L.-.J Zuu Zuu says that Bradley Dunlap will become a promising poli- tician. He will finally get what he is seeking: for, after all, in the new era, it will be the man who 'has a way with him' who will get the vote. Bradley will find his soothing and melodious voice a great asset, as it will bring to him oiers to go on the stage, to conduct evangelistic campaigns, to collect bills from tightwads, to auctioneer, and numerous other avoca- tions. However, he will derive his greatest income as advertiser of a permanent hair wave process. The medium's voice trailed off into silence. At last I struggled to my feet and felt my way into the open air. Class Will We, members of the Class of 1920, of the University of Chattanooga, City of Chattanooga, County of Hamilton, State of Tennessee, United States of America, Western Hemisphere, The Earth, Solar System, The Universe, being of sane mind and disposing memory, do thereby make and publish this, our last will and testament in the following manner, to-wit: First, to the Board of Trustees, we bequeath our appreciation for making possible the building of such a splendid college.
