Class History - Concluded Richard Smith is the only member of our class attending Wallace from the first grade all the way through high school, others having joined the clas s year by year from other schools. Part of the juniors last year departed from us for the same reasons that others did so when we were freshmen and sophomores. The lessons which we have learned in our intercourse with each other will never be forgotten, and may wo all endeavor to follow through life, as we have through our school course, our motto, Semper para tus .

CLASS PROPHECY One day when we had finished reading ’’The Tragedy of Macbeth”, I came into the classroom and saw a figure which appeared to be the leading character of the play, Macbeth himself. At first I was frightened and started to run because I thought I was seeing his ghost. But when he spoke, my fears were gone because I knew no ghost could speak. He told me that if I wanted to see something miraculous happen to fol- low him. I went with him to Norfolk where we started across the ocean. I asked him why we didn’t go across on a ship, but he said only that there was no use in paying a fare when we could walk- -that would be the Scotchman for youl I kept asking him where we were going and what we would see, but he would only say, Wait.” After what seemed to me to be a very short time we arrived at Liverpool, England. We d idn’t stay in Liverpool very long; so I can’t tell very much about the city. From there we went directly to London, where we remained for a short period of time. Here we visited the court of King James and I began to realize that I had gone back in time to the days of Shakespeare. All this time I was wondering where we were going; but since Macbeth had refused to tell mebefore, I did not dare ask any more questions . Wo took a train to Edinburgh. Upon reaching there, Macbeth seemed not to want to tarry; so we hurric-cl on through the city, and, as in Liverpool, I did not learn much about Edinburgh. I then followed Macbeth into the open country.
