crystal ball into which they stared intently, writing down the following observations the while
 Prophecy.
 He sat before the campfire
 Where ev'ning embers glow,
 Fond memories recalling
 Of many years ago.
 Amid the sparkling firelight.
 In gleaming scenes portrayed,
 The futures of our classmates
 The flick ring flames displayed.
 We drew our chairs up closer,
 Peered in that ruddy flame,
 And in that land of beauty
 Shone forth each classmates name.
 And as we gazed down Life's
 Long Corridor of Time,
 Across the golden fi0Or float
 Our thoughts of future time.
 And now there passed before us,
 In prophetic, clear review,
 The deeds of all our classmates,
 Of you, and you, and you.
 For the golden veil had lifted
 Slowly as we sazed,
 And there loomed in that far vista
 Bright visions, fire-em blazed,
 Which slowly glided over
 The golden floor of Thought
 Sweet dreams of that far future
 In fancy they were wrought.
 The laughing sparks flew upward,
 Tn brilliant haste they fled
 We gazed into the freight,
 And this is what we read:
 Abel Gross alias Count de Grass and Count of No Account, is one of the present-day orators. His favorite pastime is using big CD words and asking foolish questions. In the midst of a fiery debate, Abel arose and said: ''Mr President, I arise to q point o1 inquiry Why is it that a red COW which eats green grass gives white milk and yellow butter?'
 And as he spoke the wonder grew
 That one big head so little knew.
 Did you ever see two girls imper- senate Mutt and Jeff? Well, we saw Ruth Larson and Margaret Leonard doing that very thing. Ruth and Mar garet have become scenario writers and had it not been for the interven- ton of some iIl-behaved freshmen at the High school we would have been treated to a real live performance.
 John Hallabv and Abe Hornstein are now conducting a high-grade theater from the point of prices, but a low grade in performances. Abe does the active managing while John gets ideas from nearby theaters. One of the re- cent productions was entitled, ''When Earth and Heaven Meet" by the mid way man. featuring G. Hercules Doerr and I, Dem mosthenes Nair, both or whom are now known the world over as stellar performers. The play IS wild one and is made more so by the nIayers. The climax comes When Hercules Doerr and Demosthenes Nar play a football game. DemostheneS attempts to defeat Hercules by his tongue, but the game ends i'll a riot which is quel1ed only by the arrival or Cornelius Prior. chief of the Pla1nvllle police force. Chief Prior used both his tongue, his Drawn and a stout hickory club, and the play ended TOT the night.
 Thelma Danielson has now become an instructor in Spanish in bovs school. Needless to say, Thelma wears 2 mask which hides her furious b1ushes which come quickly and often. Tbelma still acknowledges the value of Arthur P. del Morals lessons, which she remembers distinctly.
 Mabel Glaves is noted for her splen- did rendition of vocal solos. The song she always sings as an encore IS en- titled. Charlie Shall See Me Home Tonight-Tonight.'
 Eddie Kalin, M. D., A. E.. LL. D., c. o. D., etc., and list of degrees which would fill the appendix Of good-sized book is some shark when if comes to education. He has lately received few more degrees, namely, a few D. S. " P.'s and F. o. E.. s ana now all he lacks to complete the al- phabet is a B. V. D., and as these can he had with q very little study, we are sure he soon will be able to add those letters to his name.
 Josephine Andreyko and Viola Mar lSie are now conducting school near the Bows club. The purposes of the school are numerous. but. strange to say, only grown-up men are allowed at the school It was while they were at the High school that Josephine and Viola betrayed their true feelings for only the grown-ups.
