' utnr Qllass fritpb rg In making a prophecy of the future of the class of ' 13 I do not feel that I am playing in the vague realm of mystery but rather that I am talking of the great realities of life. Out on the sea of Destiny we are not sailing under sealed orders, but our fate like an open scroll lies before us if we will but read. Let us not think that we are puppets, merely creatures of circumstance, for why has God given us our minds and intellect if it is not to shape our own destiny ? When I think of the ability and the possibilities of the girls of class ' 13, I cannot but predict for each and everyone of them a successful—not brilliant perhaps, but nevertheless successful- life. Of course the hardships, trials and discouragements will come, but it is through these that we gain strength to climb to higher heights. From our number, although small, will go repre- sentatives into every calhng of modern woman. Whom shall we see first, bearing our standard into the musical world but Lucy Hall, Eula, Vera and Ruby, each trying to better the world with her special talent. In art, the expression of all that is beautiful and wonderful in this world, Lucile is found as the painter of some of the greatest masterpieces. In the benighted land of the heathen, where the bravest and best heart is needed to endure the toil and hardships in enlightening these people to civilization, Sophia is the great and successful worker. Certainly some one of us must fathom the scientific problems that confound the nation and it is here that Pearl comes forward with her learning in astronomy to win honor and glory for herself. ' Tis said that Home is the proper place for woman, and how great it is that one of the girls of class ' 13 is capable of managing well household duties! None other is but Gertrude. In the present day the weaker sex must undergo much ridicule as to the position she takes in political aff ' airs, but some day it will be fully reahzed that the better- ment of the country ' s welfare is due to the wise and strict lead that will be taken by woman in voting. Why should not one of our classmates become prominent in this phase of life? By her ability as a great leader and because of her domineering qualities, Raba can ' t escape her calling. By their deeds ye shall know them. —Class Prophet.
