ecQ On a Senior Class trip to New Orleans we had an hour of extra time before the train pulled out to Mississippi. While strolling around killing time, we oame upon an enticing sign, Madam X, Fortune teller . Being of a cu- rious nature, we decided to have our future lives looked into. Florian, our leader, went in first to investigate any possible foul play. He came out grinning because the verdict was very Dleaslng to him. In fif- teen years, time was to find Florian, after considering a career with MGM, settled down as a noted lawyer in Hollywood and living in one of those rambling type houses. The Madam declared that a chic blond was standing in the doorway. (Could this be his wife or one of hie many maids?) Cotton, very enthuslstic over Florian1s future, decided to give it a try. When he returned we gathered around him, anxious to hear what he had to say. The crystal ball revealed Joyce seated on a bright red tractor, breaking ground on his large north Mississippi delta farm. There, too, were seen several little Mitchells vexy busily helping their father. Joyce, true to his nature of holding more Jobs than one, was the coach of a near- by football team, we can Just hear Joyce saying, I'm really puttin' them ooys through! Roberta marched in third. She stayed longer than the boys, probably argu- ing over her fate. This was her report. Giving up dancing classes long since, she had settled in Oregon with Billy, who was foreman of one of the largest lumber companies in that state. Their beautiful home was on a quiet lake, but the quietness was often disturbed by their energetic twine, Caralyn and Jairlyn. Nelda's turn was next. Madam X predicted that Nelda would be one of the leading dress designers in New York, but while Nelda was contemplating a brilliant career, a tall, handsome guy popped up right in the middle of the crystal ball.' We wonder what he'll have to say about her career—will it be designing or house keeping? Bee, although not thoroughly believing in fortune tellers, went in to com- plete the picture of the future of the seniors. In a white uniform, 6he had Just resigned her position as superintendent of nurses at Mobile In- firmary and was taking up surgery. The head surgeon was a red-headed man, and we wonder what that had to do with it, knowing her weakness along that line. The train whistle blew, interrupting our dreams of the future. There was a scramble in boarding the train for home-at the end of a perfeot day. 9
