' 5 PROPHECY ow-5 With the lines of her face drawn into a queer expression, Madam Svangali eyed the twenty-two seniors huddled around her and spoke in her usual mysterious and weird voice. HThis crystal sphere before me can reveal your hidden past and foresee any phase of your future life. Since the purpose of this secret meeting is to search the depths of the years to come, this much I ask of you - remain perfectly quiet concentrate and I promise the information you have asked for. She lowered her head and gazed silently into the crystal. Then she satisfaction. 3 Il only on what I say, gave a deep sigh of HThe clouds are fading. I see a tall, slender girl with red hair. Her bat is in position hundreds of people hold their breath as the pitcher hurls the ball toward her. The people are in an uproar-another run The scene-changes to the camera.

The photographer is focusing his newest and most popular of all Power's Models, Hollie Bridgers Across the street from the studio is a famous night club where Miss America, Frances Peele, is busy signing autographs for her fans who are flocked around a stunning character. Now I see a striking, handsome young man whom I recognize as Jesse last few years, he has given Tyrone Power quite a dose of competition admits young Bryant is plenty good. In an elaborate office on the seventeenth story of a huge business her. She is quite Bryant. For the and Mr. Power himself building, I see Betty Jane Beale, dressed in a tailored suit, seated behind her mahogany desk. Representatives from all over the nation drop in to pay her visits. She has become a very efficient lady executive in real estate. The mists close in and as a new scene appears, a world wide famous Olympic swimming star, Ruby Brickle, relaxes on the beach of some South Sea Island. Dressed in beach apparell, she takes a vacation after having been a champion winner. A huge audience is applauding. On the platform stands the brain twister of the day. Richard Burkette, the magician, is now performing the Hindu trick. No flocks to see his performances! Gazing through more mists and clouds, I see several students whose wonder the public occupations are keeping them in their home town of Woodland. Bruce Lassiter, the same sweet and understanding person she was in high school, has become director of a successful kindergarten. Edward Futrelle is a noted Fuller brush salesman. He is filling his orders for customers in woodland before he leaves for Raleigh.

The most modern automobile of all times is being driven by Raiford Futrelle whose name has marked the headlines of the newspapers since he perfected a method of converting atomic power to civilian use. In this streamline type of car, it will take only a few seconds to take Betty Griffin to the station where she will board a New York bound train. She is on her way to play a special composition at Carnigie Hall. In her spacious little art studio, Betty Glenn Griffin takes a last glance at one of her most recent drawings before taking it down to the art museum for exhibit. with her profits, she hopes to enlarge her studio and offer instruction courses.
