Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Arthur B., the model boy; Who in high school long did tarry. Repented of his early deeds, And became a missionary. As Jay Stewart gloried in class fights, And in football won such fame; He became a mighty pugilist, With bright and glorious name. Lorine ana Vernon next strolled by; Dressed stylishly, quite fit to kill; For they eloped one fine spring day, And then went into vaudeville. A noted lecturer is Margaret H. She orated now on Women’s Rights; Her eloquence wins world-wide fame; She’s a leader in the sufferage fights. i Rutn B. was always noted, For editorial talents rare; So she went to the South Sea Islands; And started a newspaper there. Helen Martin married an aeronaut; So now she flew quite high, She drives her aeroplane alone. Way up into the sky. Now Floyd Williams was much too good; On earth with us to stay; His wings did sprout so great until, At last he flew away. Mary W. went clear to Europe; For a poodle of high pedigree; But homeward bound it fell overboard, So she threw herself into the sea. Florence C. became a sad old maid; She now lives quit alone; And because she loves all cats so much, She gives stray cats a home. Vendla A. carried a satchel small. Filled with instruments so bright; For Vendla’s a noted surgeon now, To cut folks up is her delight. Corinne Martin and Hal Paris were wed; So we don’t see her any more; For she lives in New York and has a fine house, And servants and riches galore. Marie Berger alas! Can never dance; Oh, what a hard sad life! Play cards nor go to picture shows; She’s a Methodist minister’s wife. Page Twenty-nine

T ineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Qlass Prophecy One day as I looked in the hour-glass of time, I turned it twice ten years ahead: To see if the friends of my old H. S. days, Would be then either living or dead. And as I gazed into the crystaline glass, An exceedingly strange procession did pass; And I recognized them after wandering long. As those of my old Senior class. First there came a barber, With wonderous pompadour; And as he clicked his shears, I saw ‘Twas Karl Dressier, a friend of yore. Then came a dude with high silk hat And monocle so pert. He was dressed in the height of style. For Mark Simpson’s quite a flirt. A nun came next with pensive gaze, With rosary and small prayer book; And then from underneath her veil, Audrey Wolfe’s sad eyes did meekly look. A ballet dancer skipped along, With fluffy skirts and looks entrancing; And as she floated past I saw, ‘Twas Viola Duncan thus lightly dancing. Then came a man with downcast eye. As sad as sad could be; Earl Andrews love affair all came to naught And a bachelor lone is he. Then Ralph G. came so tall indeed, He’s a curiosity in a zoo; For every time he bobbed his head He one inch taller grew. Dick Penney is in prison, Though he’s not forced to stay; For he is now a chaplain. And all day long doth pray. A learned professor stumbled past, Ralph always studied much. And after much prolonged, deep thought, He became a teacher of Dutch. Now Ibi Me. has a title. And the social ladder doth mount, For she went over to Europe; And there she got a count.

TJjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Katherine got married two or three times; And then went to Reno for good. She’s now a hash slinger in a hotel; Though who'd ever think she could? Clark F. went to San Francisco; And became a fancy dancer; Taught the tango and the turkey trot; And no one won wealth faster. At three o’clock on each bright day. One of those swimming cranks, A. Stone, gives free exhibitions; And dives from the great high planks. Lucille K. was always much too shy, To speak in public or on the stage. So she’s a picture show actress now, And her pictures are all the rage. At the end of the line an old maid came; A homely bespectacled creature; And I saw to my horror and great surprise, Myself, as a Chemistry teacher. —Josephine McComas ‘28 Page Thirty
