T H E N ORM EIGHTEEN 0113152? agrnphprg z ERETOFORE it has been customary to publish the Class E Prophecy, but as the February Class of 1912 has been recognized throughout its short sojourn at the O. N. S. as one of the brainiest, originlaest, ingeniousest, clev- erest, unusualist, inventivest classes that has ever entered these venerable halls, it was but natural that we should expect some thing of especial moment from such an aggregation of intellect and we were not disappointed. Miss Hazel Bohannon, the prophet, by the assistance of Father Time and a wonderful machine, THE FUTURITY-SCOPE, purported to- be the most marvelous invention of the Twentieth Century, varied the usual Prophecy; instead of tell- ing the result of Father Times nurturing, by means of THE FUTURITY-SCOPE, purported to be the most marvelous invention of appear .ten years hence. These realistic pictures were, indeed, a joy and a surprise, and revealed many things that had been con- cealed within the innermost recesses of 1912s brains, but now they like Virgil will have to demean themselves very circumspectly, for they will henceforth be associated with those who not only see the act, but know the thought that prompts the act. Miss Lynn has so often and so emphatically voiced her Views upon matrimony that we all had relegated her to the shrine of Saint Catherine. Alas! Queen was only tltalkingf, The Futur- ity-Sco'pe revealed her as the head of a familyf Miss Hyde, unlike Miss Lynn, was living up to the solemn pledge taken when she entered the Oregon Normal School and was still wteaching the young idea how to shoot? Miss McAlpin had deserted her vocation, llteaching? and was devoting her entire time and attention to: her avocation, llbaseball? Miss Morrison, whose oratorical ability had been recognized by her being selected as Class Orator, was now using her powers to bring men to justice and was revealed as a judge of the Supreme Court. Miss Strachan, who won undying fame as editor-in-chief of tlThe Norm, had used to advantage the knowledge gained, and was editing one of the. leading periodicals of the day. Mr. .Sacre, whose greatest ambition was to measure six feet, had succeeded in some unaccountable way and was revealed as a giant. comparatively. . MISS Bohannon,the prophet, did not escape and the Futurity? scope told us that she had taken up the ideas and dress of the new woman. . , Some of.th.e class have been loudly disclaiming the accuracy of the predIct10ns of the Futurity-Scope, but the Fates have so decreed, and .let me warn you, that any attempt to frustrate these pred1ct10n w1ll be fraught with dire results.
