"HEADS AND HANDS"
BY Clara NJ. Saunders.

Being one of the members of
the Senior class of 1909, l have
been chosen TO foretell the fu-
ture of Our Boys" While in
the Literature class one day
noticed that most of the boys
had protuberances on their
heads, and having some knowl-
edge of phrenology and palms.
try, and wishing to put into
practical use my theoretical
knowledge, decided to proph-
ecy their future in this way.
Phrenology teaches us that
large protruding eyes indicate
an excessive development of
language. Persons possessing
this faculty readily remember
words and learn by heart with
great facility. The physical
marks of this character are very
highly developed in Mr.. Frey
which leads me to think that in
some future time he will pub
lish rhetoric or perhaps a dict
ionary to define the meaning
of the large words which he
uses occasionally. After study
ing the lines of Mr.. Lemnitzer's
hand for some time, / finally
turned him over to Helen Beck.
She later sent me her report
which said, "It is no wonder
he won first honor as he es-
pecially is endowed with headi-
ness, and on account of his
strength and size, he was able
to study without decreasing his
weight" While watching Mr..
Romaine in class one day, l
discovered a slight enlargement
in the neighborhood of his tenn
pie. This indicates highly de-
veloped appetite. a noted phe-
nologist tells us that it is very
difficult to restrain this propen-
sity and to keep our appetites
in check; we should "eat to
live, rather than live to eat"
Mr.. Romaine has an enormous
appetite. Crackers form his
chief diet as they do not tend
to produce flesh. Mr.. Healy's
life line is very plainly marked
and without a break. He can
look forward to many years of
usefulness. Don't look so SOL
emn as your worrying is over
for | have found that you will
have good health for many
years to come.
You are all, no doubt ac-
quainted with Chester Gerry,
the genial carrier of the Inde-
pendent | find that he has an
enlargement on the crown of his
head which argues that his or
gan OF ambition is unduly de-
veloped. He is so energetic
that he has looked ahead far
enough to get lease to run
SteVens's milk wagon and de-
liver the Independent for twen-
ty-fve years. The organ of
comparison is denoted by a
prominent forehead. One pos
sessing this faculty has the pow
er to argue, compare and to
draw differences. Mr.. Osborne
is master of these powers and
has striven to cultivate them
by studying logic, chemistry, and
mathematics. In time to come
we hope to see him win as much
fame as Webster. One day
about a month ago represen-
tative from the Elevator Works
came to the High school and
asked the teachers to recommend
boy for them. The former
had noticed Dudley's clever
ness and recommended him for
the position. | determined to
ascertain if he showed the
characteristics necessary and
found upon applying my phreno-
logical tests, he had cultivated
the talent for construction by
writing and drawing. On eX-
amining Mr.. Harris's hand l
found that his love-line was
broken in many places which
indicates that he has had many
affairs of the heart.
The bump on Mr.. Soete's head
revealed that he has a strong
literary taste and in time will
become a great author, in fact,
"Out-Witman Whitman" Mr..
Krantz was next on my list.
l surely thought that he as we'll
as Mr.. Osborne would be an ora
tor but, l was mistaken as his
most prominent organ seemed
to be that Of color which is de-
tected by the finely arched
eyebrows. This faculty gives
Albert the power to distinguish
Brown" from every other color.
The last but not least on my
list is Mr.. Freund whose faculty
is represented facially by the
projection and breadth between
the eyebrows, and the down
ward cprving of the latter at
their inner corner; locating the
presence of the organ of individ-
uality. Mr.. Freund is a keen
observer and has the powers of
drawing striking personifica-
