1921 ' THE KICKAPOOGIAN 1921 PROPHECY It was the last night of the 0111 year when I had this strange dream or vision. At twelve o'clock a hook appeared surrounded by a light so bright that it dazzled me. Father Time could be faintly discerned in the shadows, and 11s I looked, ho eleverly flipped the pages with his svythe and I beheld a beautiful picture of a crowded New York opera. As I gazed spellbound, the book faded and transported in spirit to the opera. The date, December 2-1, 1031 tiashetl upon my sight, and I VHS surprizml to find that Father Time had dropped me, in a box occupied by Ruth Babbitt and Bessie Marcus, and I heard Bessie say, ttHow tlitl you like your winter ill France, Ruth? 1111 going next winter, as I have a vacation from my commercial duties here in New York. Fine, I met El'a while there. She, '1'21s obtaining 100211 00101' for a new French novel, while I gained some splendid ideas in designing, which have given me, handsome returns. Just then the orchestra began playing and I was delighted to see, Jack with his violin; and Harriette at the piano for it was one of the most noted orchestras in the United States. In a pause between the selections, Ruth showed Bessie Mnreus a picture from Bessie, Gochenuul' 0f the cutest little vine-wreathetl cottage, where she lived with her father and mother. I learned from their later conversation that Virgil was 21 skillful surgeon and Buford Smith had won nmny prizes in the stock show in Chicago. Guy, they said, was the, most popular comedian in the stage world. Then all at 0111e the light faded and with it my vision. I wonder how much of it will come true? ' eElva Thuyel' 0110 of 0111' Number We regret that illness has made it impowible fur Bessie 12001101121111' to finish this school year with 11s. 1V0, daily miss her presence :11; svhool and feel keenly her absence from us, hut the lllldOllelSr-YIIlOll are ozlgerly looking forward to her return to them. Her smile, her cheerfnlness, 1101' readiness to serve, others, makes her much loved by 1101- fellow classnmtes, the, students, the teachers and the mlninlmity. lime Fourteen ,j'w1 Nyw ,
