In return for their kindness, we

who could then tell that their
wrath's might be aroused when II
came to the final exams. But little
did we care at times. This was our
last sailing together and we rightly
intended to navigate the waters as
joyfully as possible.
"In the meanwhile, a half a dozen
of our brave band, not content with
sweet silence, formed a glee club
and named it in honor of Orpneus.

comrades, at the very mention OF
that name, do not recollect tnoje
melodious sounds-that harmonious
music we heard to come from their
rosy lips and tuneful mouths as We

Now, o queen, the fourth year
was quickly drawing to a close ~hen
we ran into the greatest group OF
rocks we had ever approached In
our long wanderings. They were
those final exams. With them, we
strove, contended, battled, and
fought desperately until at last they
have tossed us on these shores of
success and into your realms Of
pleasure"
The Glass Prophecy.
The class prophecy which was de-
livered by Miss Elizabeth Weinblatt
in full, follows:
Introduction
Long, long ago, in the days Of my
youth, when endowed with all the
gifts that friendly Nature could be-
stow, Apollo in a momentary passion
Of admiration promised me the full
fllment of any request that l might
feel inclined to make, and twas this
| answered:
20, Apollo, God of Augury and all
prophecies, make me, | pray you,
your most trusted servant. Place
me over the oracle of Delphi, that
might be the most renowned OF
soothsayers, that l might be %entrust-
ed with the secrets of man and
nations!"
Apollo granted that wish-ah,
had | but asked for eternal youth,
Alas, that was many, many years
ago. Since then my earthly charms
have faded, yes, withered like the
scar and yellow leaf, but 1 have pow
er, power, power! Men come and
throw themselves at my feet, men,
yes kings, for I have power.
Messrs. Kelley, Couden, Major,
Therkelson, Toolan and Wilentz
Hail, Orpheus GIee Club, be not
for the prophecies of Apollo, it is
for this purpose that you have come.
A great future lies before you, fol-
lowing in the footsteps of your illus
trious patron Apollo, you will charm
with your music the golden doors of
Fame, so that they fly open at your
bidding. But mark you, it is not
by any individual efforts that you
will win your way into these cherish
ed realms: Omitted you stand,
divided you fall" and your success
depends solely upon your talents as
a musical body and not Couden,
upon your good looks. Major, you
alone will gain individual distinc-
ton, for eaten out of house and
home by these, your commanding
companions, you will be forced to
set out for yourself and shall make
your reputation as a great Italian
impersonator, starring in The Sign
of the ROSE"

And you too, bear In mind that /
am but the instrument of Apollo and
merely interpret his words. For
some ! have joyful tales, for some
sad tales, but for you l prophesy pig
tails, since you shall pass your time
upon the shores of China, among a
strange people, strange customs, de
voting your lives to the illumination
of darkness, to the march of civiliza-
ton. A noble motive, a praise
worthy undertaking, but China is q
large place, so take care Osma that
your companion get not lost!
