Everett A. Banks of the Commercial De-
partment, to whom Mr.. Simmons, in be-
half of the class, presented a valuable
cameo brooch, which was gracefully ac-
cepted with its accompanying good will
and esteem.
The prophecy was presented by Miss
Simpson and Mr. Morse. The former was
accorded the admiration due a modest
and sweet girl graduate as she began to
unravel the future of her classmates with
her arm encircling beautiful bunch of
American Beauty roses. AS she called
the names of the members she addressed,
she presented each with a single rose to
which was attached souvenir card con-
tanning a synopsis of the fate she had
allotted. Later she passed the remaining
roses to Mr.. Morse, who completed their
distribution and continued to assign fates
good, bad and Indifferent, to his half of
the task. Both availed themselves of all
opportunity to make the most of mirth-
provoking memories and class secrets,
and were very successful in their en-
deavors.
Miss Spear and MIR. Simmons were
