18 THE CHATTERBOX Though each day becomes a yesterday. There will always be a tomorrow; Though the plans we make may go astray And the things we cherish cause sorrow; If we make the most of each present day There’ll still be a new tomorrow, EVELYN J. INGRAM CLASS WILL Dated at Wells River. County of Orange, State of Ver- mont, this eighth day of June, A. D. 1929. This being the last will and testament of the Class of 1929 of Wells River, in the County of Orange, in the state of Ver- mont. We desire that all our just debts and the charges of our funeral be paid out of our personal estate by our executor, to be named and appointed in the manner provided for by law, as soon as conveniently may be after our decease, and we leave our funeral in charge of the Class of 1980. We. the Class of 1929, will and bequeath to Miss Farman a ticket to a certain Vermont town. We intend said ticket to be used at least once next year to attend the Winter Carnival in said town. Sarah Martin leaves to Flora Glynn her horse. Billy, in order that said Flora may be more successful in reducing. Eleanor Wilson gives her permanent wave to Pearl Rus- sell so that Pearl will not have to delay any activities which she takes part in next year. Helen Tillotson bequeaths her ability to bluff in class to Marjorie Amidon. We are sure that next year Marjorie will need this ability in addition to her own. Katherine Bailey leaves her office as school vamp, includ- ing her “Boyish Bob”, to Mary Sawyer. Gladys Laturnau leaves her position as Teacher’s Aid and Helper to Winston Gibson. We hope that Winston will use this to good advantage.

20 THE CHATTERBOX CLASS PROPHECY Being practically a new comer to this school, it was un- expected when the class prophecy fell to me. I did not know any of the local members sufficiently well to prophesy about them. I tried in turn all the means I knew. I said. “Rich man, poor man. beggar man, thief,” to every visible button on their clothing; I noticed the cut of their finger nails; I studied thumb prints; then, finally, one dark night, in desperation I climbed the hill back of my house, sat down on the grass, and talked my troubles out on the mid-night air. I felt strangely apart from the rest of the world until I noticed, close beside me. a big Jack- in-the-Pulpit. Just at mid-night by my watch, Jack said; “Learn the biggest lesson in life. Do exactly as you are told. I have been listening to you, and I have tried to help you. My breath has formed a mist which has settled on the leaves around me. Take them to your room. Hold them, one by one. near a candle and you can read what your class mates will be doing five years from now.” I gathered thirteen leaves and hurried home, for once do- ing exactly as 1 had been told. The results were satisfying. They gave, just as Jack had promised, the accounts I wanted. I read: Eleanor Wilson went into training for a nurse after grad- uation. She is very successful in her work. She has sponsored several important clubs for the benefit of humanity. She is head- nurse in a large city hospital. Robert Murphy has become a very famous diagnostician. He has a large office in a near-by city. His latest and most well- known operation was performed on an old Ford. He took it all apart, removed the cough from the engine, and put it back to- gether with five pieces left over. His success in the business world is assured. Thru the invention of an electric waving comb, Aurora Garbati has become famous. It is guaranteed to give a natural wave in five minutes. She is now touring Italy. It is reported that she is engaged to an English Count.
