Prophecy of the Class of 1927 Squeek, squeek, squeek-ee-ek, came from the Seminary kitchen. Four bright eyes peeped from the top shelf. Archibald, isn't this cheese just delic- ious? squeeked Mrs. Rat. Z. J Boy, but I was hungry! Mr. Rat , , cried. Rations are certainly scarce around this joint, with Wo on the job all the ' time.

Let's forget our i , troubles though, for I have an exciting fl ,, 5 story to tell you. , c A story? squeeked her husband, blink- fl! ing his near-sighted eyes and looking over his specs.

The attic was dark and still and cold. I shivered. At that moment a pool of green light appeared in the center of the room. It flickered, flickered, glimmered, and glowed, and then disappeared. Again it appeared, at first dimly: then it grew brighter and brighter, and greener. In the center sat a horrible hob-gob- lin. I-Ie grinned, bared his yellow teeth, crammed his green turban farther over one horn, put his hands in his huge, purple pockets, flapped his glittering wings, and sneezed. The pool grew larger, larger, and suddenly, oh so suddenly. a change took place. I stared amazed, for in the middle of the pool I saw the seal of the Semi- nary, with the motto, Lux et Veritas, written across it. The seal grew larger and brighter, and brighter and larger, and then, then the goblin waved his clawey, parchment-like hands and said in deep, rusty tones, 5'My! My! My! And then I saw marvelous things reflected on the Seal. There was Adeline Winston, reigning queen of the Mardi Gras, with llj X C524 Q C7 is if I 27 ffl nuff, X l e , , - - - . X ATI t ,

'Q' l-lere we were joined by Mary Bayley, Helen Wilson, and the inseparables, Charlotte Burnett and Kathryn Lindner. We learned under Miss Sharpe the real value of true study and have her to thank for patient work and untiring efforts. We now can appreciate also the worth of the eighth grade that at the time of its introduction brought such gloom into our lives, putting off for still one more year. graduation. We are loathe now to leave the sunshine picture of Freshman Hall, but We must ascend the stairs to complete the rounds of high school life. Time flies by, and step by step we are rapidly reaching our goal. Beauty and strength of character complete the setting of the Junior class when Carolyn Leonard and Dorothy Strangward came to us out of the peach blossom belt of Georgia hand in hand with Isabelle Carpenter, Margaret Collier, Virginia Crus- selle. Vera Smith, and Ruth Whiddon. We have now reached the zenith of our high school hopes and afrnbitions, and the Senior class picture is completed With the addition of Wilhelrnine Win- erich. Shirley Cartin, Evelyn Collins, Mary Jo Evans, Margaret Huffine, Mar- ian Newell, Natalie de Golian, Annie Frances Humphries, Winifred Parsons, Sarah Roberts, and Marie Rowland, who have added much to the already at- tractive group that forms the class of '27. We are rapidly approaching the end of the reel. All pictures end with they all lived happily ever after, but this picture ends only our happy days at Washington Seminary. This separation brings sadness to our hearts, so to end this picture properly we will just turn over a page and let the magic pen of our prophet picture the ever after. -ADELINE WINSTON. tj x i 'WE Qlffl Y , M214 xg D3 , xl 27 X . fir . x .

O aa cr N ' Catharine Norcross and Carolyn Leonard as her two maids. Carolyn, Cathar- ine, and Adeline have all become famous society belles, noted equally for their wit and beauty. In the glimmer of the light I beheld Wilhelmine Winerich on a big black horse. She was throwing a lasso and shouting wildly. Wilhelmine has be- come famous on the silver screen. She always plays in western pictures as they give her a chance to get rid of some of her surplus energy UD. The scene changed to a day at the Capital. Down the street rushed a vivid, green racer at break neck speed. At the wheel sat Catherine I-Iowell. Be- side her was Dorothy Strangward. Catherine was rushing to the senate to veto a bill forbidding women to wear high-heeled shoes. Dorothy, I learned, was Vice-President. Just think of having a Vice-President of the United States from the class of twenty-seven. Next I saw Charlotte Burnett and Kathryn Lindner in a large insurance office. They are famous insurance agents and are still as inseparable as ever. They both insist on going to the same place to collect, and thus have to split the money between them. This scene faded out and I saw a famous peanut butter factory with a blazing sign: Mary Bayley's Famous Peanut Butter. It's guaranteed to make you thin. Grow thin while you eat. Mary gained her knowledge of cook- ing in the domestic science class at the Seminary, no doubt. Evelyn Collins has at last achieved success. She is the poet of her age, and has immortalized Virginia Crusselle in the famous song, She Never Let Things Worry Her. Margaret Collier, after studying art at the Seminary, has thrown her won- derful talent to the winds. Alas, she is to become the bride of a famous under- taker in New York City. Again the scene faded and I saw Mary Jo Evans, a famous piano player with Ringling Brothers Circus. She plays for Annie Frances Humphries to do her famous tight rope dance. I saw next an opening night in opera in New York. The opera was Car- men and the leading role was taken by Shirlio Cartino, who was no other than our own Shirley Cartin. Alas for Shirley! Just as she was about to finish tri- umphantly she hit a high note and her voice cracked like a broken plate. In spite of this calamity, however, the critics praised Shirley lavishly. They said that her poise was wonderful. I saw a traffic cop arresting a lady for jay walking: I looked closer.
