SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One day when I was wandering around by myself on the prairie east of Denver. I noticed an airplane graieefiflly soaring above me. As I idly watched it, the plane landed and the pilot came towards me. Though dressed as an aviator, little winged-shaped things on his cap and shoes, reminding me of the statue of Mercury in the hall at high school, suggested the flight of time. On closer View I saw strange markings on his suit like camouflage in orange and black. The figures bore an uncanny resemblance to the number 1920. Approaching me he introduced himself as the fate of the 1920 class of West. HI am taking you, he said, 'tto the Land of Years Unborn and Deeds Yet Undone. There in the Theatre of Time you will see a movie of the future. Soon our plane a-lighted before a majestic theatre flying an orange and black pennant. I was far too excited to notice the cast of eliaraeters or the name of the play. The scene opened in an Orphans' Asylum. A big boy came in dragging a little girl by the hand and the matron in the next room called after them, 4'VVhen will you children grow up? At that they turned and who should they be but Herman Clow and Eva Greenameyer? Herman was much the same for he teasingly yelled back at the exasperated matron. She was fair, fat, and forty with something rather familiar about her appearance. It was Marie Bollinger. She gave Herman a smart rap on the ear and sent him down to the kitchen. He made for the pantry but was violently thrown out by the cook, a wiry man with red hair, Robert Graeber. I11 the midst of all this confusion the doorbell rang and Eva admitted a jolly opulent-looking man, Gordon Gillard, who proposed in a philanthropic manner to give the orphans a treat by taking them to the circus. The matron gave orders to the handy man, Norman Dunnavant, to have the Ford ready for the children who were too young to walk. Oh, the wild excitement of an orphanage getting ready to go to a circus! Finally the matron and the cook started with about fifty of the older chil- dren and Norman came in the Ford with the babies. Of course, Lizzie balked and with it and the kids Norman had his hands full until a Cadillac roadster drew up beside him. It was Irwin Colemere, who assisted Norman and then hurried to catch a train for New York where he was to assume the duties of business manager for Farnum St. John on the Orpheum circuit. In the grounds a strangely dressed man with long hair and a weird ex- pression- was excitedly mingling with the crowd giving out anti-circus pro- Page Twenty-seven
