East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-05-29

There are but two kinds or proph-
cts that I have ever had faith In,
weather prophets and class prophets,
and the latter interests me now more
than the former.
One pleasant afternoon In early
MAY sought the seclusion and quiet
Of the woods and while l sat In the |
cool shade trying to center my |,
thoughts on the mysteries of science,
| little old woman appeared before |
me as If by magic. Her costume re-
sembled that of a wandering gypsy
(and there was queer expression
on her face.)
I gazed at her in wonder and as
tonishment when she asked me If l
were a member of the class Of 1911
Of the Pendleton high school. An
swering her in the affirmative, I was
still more surprised when she said,
"I have this day, while delving into
the mysteries of the Future, discov-
cred the fate of your class, and know
ing that you were interested in your
classmates, I will tell you of my dis
coveries and trust that you may tell
others. Your class was the most IL
lustrious that ever graduated from
high school, You can readily see
this from what l am going to tell
you"
1t was indeed so interesting that
when she finished l felt like one who
had been dreaming so wonderful did
1t seem and I will try and tell you
in my feeble way what she declares
is true, or at least will come true
in the future.
She began with our own Industrious
Lewis Anderson, who graduated from
the state university, then went to
Harvard and after he received the
NJ. A. degree and several others, re-
; turned to Pendleton to become a
, professor of agriculture in the high
) school,
E Next she told me of Cressie Baker,
= who became a member of the female
\ police force of Stanfield. Cressie al
ways eccentric in her tastes and her
a choice of occupation was no surprise
I to me.
t Beatrice Rrownell had a rather odd
career. She joined the woman suf'
fragettes and after several defeats
n was finally elected governess OF Ore
t gon.
It Charlie Milne married unhappily
: but had nevertheless won fame as {
d baseball player and delighted th'
e Chicago fans with his clever twirl
n ing.
l. Dale Cheeseman's married life wa!
d also unfortunate. He married tn,
l. daughter of Pilot Rock millionaire
e who sued for and secured a divorc,
G because she declared that Dale di,
IS not love her and had married he
J. only for her money.
,e Seeing the fate of his fellow men
N Arthur Jordan remained single, Civ
lie ing his time to scientific researche
s, and thus discovered a form of oder
IS less II. S, much to the delight Of fu
ID ture chemistry students.
lie Unlike Arthur, Lyn Livermor
ID sought a life of adventure. He be
/ came an aerial anarchist, terrorlze
lie the world by his daring deeds, bu
ID while sailing through the heaven
lie one fatal day, came in contact wit
Of rain cloud, got water on the brai
t. and was sent to the branch asylur
ut at Pendleton to be put under Il doc
as tors care in hopes that he might re
MS cover.
r, This was all very interesting, but
le was surprised when she told me tha
n Richard Divine had married his ides
and invented a new model of sui
marine. 1 was glad that there was @
m least one person who could reac
lp such a standard of perfection as
r be dudes IDEAL as 1 had given 1t u
er long ago.
Se The surprising thing which sh
hit told me, however, was about Nell
he Anibal. Nellie had married twice b,
III both her husbands had died and b'
e. cause of her great beauty and popl
1t, larity she was forced to spurn HI

c. etic to relate here that Harvey NJ,
nd Pherson was among those whom 81
es, had spurned. Harvey, who was q
