Then Miss Henrietta Burch read
the Glass Prophecy, as follows: -
Being tired after studying late over
hard Physics = lesson / became
sleepy before I had solved half the
problems and my head falling on the
table in weariness l dreamed a most
peculiar dream. was in 4 lovely
garden and while wandering along
a path I overlook one of the sweet
est and daintiest little women l had
ever seen. AS she carried a book In
her hand. l supposed that she, too,
had been taking a walk all alone and
had been reading some new popular
novel.
MAY walk with your she asked.
OF course l consented to go with
such winning little soul as she.
She smiled as IL pleased and said,
You do not ask my name and as

you should know mine. / can tell
you many things that will deeply
concern you and which you would

You must not make any comments
and have permission to ask only one
question-one, mind yOu-no more"
The first one of 'The Eleven" men,
toned, she continued, is one called
Francis Kittrell, at first; but later
he is known as Doctor Kittrell, for
this munber of your class is going
to occupy the position as head of the
Chemistry Department of his State
University, where ne will later do
chemical experiments that will en-
able him to give to his country, and
the whole world, improved and new
methods in the Industries where
chemicals are involved.
Campbell Laney will some day
wake up to the idea that the combin-
ed knowledge of mathematics and
chemistry and the art of singing
might work admirably together in
fa,m life. He will think it worth
while to try the experiment for a
year. 1t will work SO we'll that he
will prolong the experiment indefi-
nitely. In ten years from now, il
you should chance to pass by his
farm, you would probably see.
A little farm we'll titled
A little house we'll filled
A little wife we'll willed.
"Your musical member has a bril-
liant future In store for, her. After
leaving Cheraw High school, Burtice
Rivers Will pursue her studies fur
ther by specializing in music. She
will reach the height of her ambition
In the position as director of music
at Salem College. She will soon find
however, that a career is not the only
thing to live for. She will meet her
ideal in a young violinist and she will
give up her career for a flreside."
In the political campaign in 1912
you need not expect to hear votes
for women for you will be given
your suffrage rights before that time,
but you may expect to hear Oh neatly
every tngue, the name of the woman
who does SO much towards bringing
suffrage to the women of South Caro-

class mate. Eleanor Gainey. will be
nominated by her party for Governor
OF South Carolina and she will be
we'll fitted for the place after a course
In law and the experience she will

been professor of foreign languages
in the University of South Carolina" &"
THE lawyer of your class is readi-
ly seen in Hen Ann Hickson. She,
too, will begin her life as a college
graduate, by teaching. but this will
be too dull for Helen Ann. She then
entered the law office of Mr.. r. T.

for the bar, she began her practice
In North Carolina where she soon be-

the State. She Is spoken of as a pos

Jasper, also, will attain the height
lor which he Is so diligently striving
Some day you will realize the signi-
ficance of your class when you hear
OF the noted DR.. Brasington who
thrusts aside all honors, coveted by
many OF like profession, and goes to

tropics of Africa. And you may well
