ECHO Although our journey through High School Life is ended, we shall keep on waiting for other voyages, as the Hlteal Voyage of Life is just beginning. Viola Gudeman Class Prophecy It is a tradition of our school, that each year some member of the grad- uating class, must write the class prophecy. This year I was chosen to do this and found the task by no means. an easy one. A few weeks ago as I was looking through one of the Chicago papers, I noticed that a new invention, called the Prophoseope, was being tested by Dr. Bobo. He stated that for any one who would come to his address, bringing a photo, with date of birth, he would read the future of the individual on the Sphoto, by means of this machine, for a small fee. I thought of my class prophecy and immediately decided to go to Chicago. Although it took some time to obtain the photo and birthday of each of my class mates, the following Tuesday found me in the presence of Dr. Bobo. When he saw the photos, he said nothing, but at once set to work. First be figured on the date given with each photo and then he fastened the Prophoseope to the photo and reeled oif rapidly the events there visible to him. These visions, as he repeated them, I took in short hand and now give them to you in transcribed form:- 1. First we have Nettie Beer, a very fine looking young lady, who thinks that nature has ordained that she shall be a poet, but she will never write an- other poem after she has turned her back on old R. V. H. S. In a few months she will meet a young man who has fallen heir to a 200 acre citrus ranch in California. They will be married at once and move to their western home with its immense groves of orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees. 2. Next we have Samuel DeSigne, a young man with a musical talent who probably would have made a wonderful musician but alas-he wanders. In a few years he will take a course in Pharmacy and become one of the lead- ing druggists in the city of St. Louis. At the age of forty-five, he will marry a young American girl of high social standing. They will live a happy con- tented life with two lovely daughters blessing their home. 3. Victor Blunier, a romantic young man of adventuroushnature, will shortly after graduation leave the little village of Roanoke for Hollywood, California. His life long ambitions are to be fulfilled at last. In a number of years he will replace the celebrated well known star, Charles Chaplin, under the name of Barney Katnip, and like Charles, the proof of his celebrity, will be the fact that he will be tempest tossed on the sea of matrimony. 4. Eugene Zimmerman, a fine portly young fellow, with high ambitions, is destined to be one of the greatest lawyers, this country has ever known. After finishing a four year law course at the University of Chicago and a two year course at Ann Arbor, he will rise until he has reached the honorable position of judge of the Supreme Court at Washington, D. C. WAGE TWENTY- FOUR
