tinel' so sublimely can appreciate how well Htted he is for this distinction. Grace Yeomen will share the laurels of the the- atrical world as a favorite chorus girl in light opera. We can all easily imagine her Hitting about the stage in pink tarletan ballot skirts and spangled slippers. Nellie Williams will become a Quakeress. Her horror of laughter and merriment will grow as the years slip by, and she will finally don a grey gown, and devote herself altogether to prayer and repentance. In one of the world's renowned universities, Lilian Her- man will be known throughout the state as one of Chicago's most fashionable undertakers. She will be ably aided in her trade by Mamie Connolly who will establish a large automobile factory, and yearly provide thousands of innocent citizens with an easy means of destruction. Florence Wood and Josephine Porter will elaborate in the writing and revising of school text books. Through their ef- forts, education will be made as easy for all mankind as it for' merly was for them. Their publications will be sold through- out the country by the capable and persuasive agent Emily Miller, who Hrst displayed her ability in this direction when selling tickets for High School concerts. Roy Lake will become familiar to all magazine readers as a pastoral poet of no small note, who frequently favors the long suffering public with verse which is blank in more ways than one. Early specimens of his genius will be preserved with pride by the Ovid and Literature class of Waukeg:in's High School. Far fiom the maddening crowd Milton Dunn will live as a solitary hermit spending his lonely days in the perusal of his favorite holding, Parliamentary Law. Hazel Sells will become the successful proprietor of the llfashburn and Moen Wire lVorks, a position for which she showed herself well qualihed during the days of senior orations. The horror or all peace loving citizens will be Helen Wat- rous who will place in jeopardy all lawful institutions as the leader of a powerful band of anarchists. These tendencies of hers were long ago displayed in the days when she defied all the rules and regulations of Waukc-gan's educational system. 7

Leslie George will make his name as chief civil engineer for a railroad, yet unthought of, which he will lay from Wau- kegan to Gurnee. His ability in this direction has often been noted by many in the American History class, while we all know that nothing could be more congenial to his personal tastes than making easy the road to Gurnee. At first his pro- ject will be slightly interfered with by the plans of an enter- prising and long fought rival who will attempt to run an elec- tric line to the same point. This design will finally be aban- doned for want of public encouragement, and the seniors and sanctimenious Mark Rose will find an outlet for his fervid re- ligious enthusiasm and strict Puntanical principles in the city of Zion. Here he will rise to the position of Dowie's succes- sor, and will rule severely for many years, a terror to all pleas- ure lovers, and evil doers. We will have to search the dim corriders of a nunnery to find the solemn, saintly face of Reita Maxon, while, on the other hand, Eva Esty will live a gay and giddy life, as a leader in New York's Four Hundredw. Margaret Dady will take to teaching Mathamaties. This is perhaps a slight surprise to some of the Solid Geometry class who remember that she used to join us sometimes when we moaned over cylindrical surfaces and parabolas. But the in- fluence of certain friends will awaken her interest in these ab- struse subjects andlshe will arrive at the conclusion that she has a. natural affinity for those who are mathematically in- clined. Margaret Frank, a world-renowned chemist, will com- pound a wonderful tablet which contains all the ncceesary brain food elements, and which school children all over America will eat for breakfast that they may not need oiher nourishment dur- ing the day. How well we all remember her hatred of eating during study hours! A prim little white cottage in some quiet New England town, where no man has ever been known to enter, will be the home of the two confirmed spinsters Alice Morstadt and Edith Dunakin, Maidens withering on the stalk. Harry Pamment will take Edonward de Raszkils place in the German Opera. We who have heard him sing Cleman- 6

And now, most clearly of all can I read my own fate. With a diploma for a pillow, I will soon be laid to rest in a long grave at Oakwood The mental strains of this prophecy, and the ire of my classmates over its contents will soon place me where we hope to 'find caps and gowns exchanged for more shin- ing robes.
