THE BUZZER 9. Harold each day in his Ford took a ride With our Freda sitting so sweet by his side 5 But now, in the doughnut business they're seen, He bites the holes-she keeps the place clean. 10. George loved to shimmy, as everyone knows, He was always shimmying from his head to his toe But now he's dignified and more sedate, For he's in politics-the governor of this state. 11. Always laughing and talking she Went, Thus, many happy school days she spent, Now Ruth is leading a wonderful life, For she's in Harrisburg- the governor's wife. 12. She was always doing surprising things, But time always more surprises brings, Poor Helen always said she'd be an old maid, But already five husbands to peace she has laid. 13. She was our Senior so tall and sedate, Who came to school almost every day late, Though Anne was so tall and Clayton so small, They have been married and fooled us all. 14. You've heard how curiosity killed the cat, But really, it isn't so bad as that, Now Clayton asks questions, as lawyers can, And this is the way he supports our Ann. 15. He was the student with the peppy feet, And, as an athlete, he couldn'1: be beat 5 But if you see him, don't start to run, , For Russ in Woolworth's demonstrates Bay Rum. 16. Gladys it was who always finished her task, And better than she'd do it no one could ask, But time always changes things, you see- As an actress, she's the rage in gay Paree. 17. Where'er there were girls our Karl was seen, But never without paint, powder, and cream, And now at his place all ladies stop, For you see he is running a beauty shop. 18. Grace always talked like a mechanical toy, First McBride, then Grant, it used to be Roy, Louie, Ted, and many more she's met, But you'll be surprised-she's single yet.

THE BUZZER Gllass iirnphrrg, 'EH Judging the future by the past, As time reverses things galore, We'll give you the future of this fine class, For the class of '20, here's what's in store. Here's to those who expect to be displeased, Now just sit still and be at easeg For each thing that's said is meant in fun And was done with no malice toward anyone. 1. Teddy debated each hour, each day, And put the point across in his original way, But now, it's not his voice that furnishes the treat,- At Loew's he's successfully using his feet. 2. A laugh, a word, a hop, a scream, And right into View comes our jolly Norine That used to be, but time its course has run And now she's a missionary 'neath the distant sun 3. Harvey was one who talked every day But somehow we never could hear what he'd say, Now he can talk till his jaws are numb For he works in a place for the deaf and dumb. 4. Always prim and neat in her way, Doris came with her hair curled each day 5 That she could get 'em she always did boast, But we never thought she'd take a whole Gross 5. Ray successfully led each cheer, And above all, his voice we'd hear, But nothing like that-he's using his voice As a huckster--Hpotatoes! One dollar, your choice.' 6. Christine was the star of this famous class, And in mathematics, each one she could pass, She was brilliant, happy, and full of pep, And, as a teacher at Pitt, she's surviving yet. 7. Donald, our Senior artist so rare- At drawing things, he was a bear, But now he's leading the saddest kind of life Trying to draw income for home and wife. 8. All day long she vamped her man, As to her future, guess hard as you can,- She sits at home with her parrot and cat, Our Olive's a spinster-could you ever guess that?

THE BUZZER 19. Among the girls in the class of '20, Of good looking fellows, our Maude had plenty, But she was always a feared heart-breaker, Then maybe she'll be a good home maker. 20. For comic remarks and many a pun, You could count on our Danny for lots of fun, You'll be surprised, for now you see- Our Sim Batty ushering at the Gay-e-ty! 21. Julia, the happiest girl in the class, We remember her cleverness in the past, For the Pittsburgh Press she writes the jokes Just like she did for the Avalon folks. 22. Andy was big, the heaviest of all, He'd sure break the floor if ever he'd fall, But then his fame has spread over the sea, The greatest lightweight champion is he. 23. A piano player was our Jean, Tickling the ivories she was always seen, But she now plays for all singers of fame, Our Jean, though small, has won a big name. 24. Bright, popular, and full of joy - Was one of our Seniors whose last name was Toay Now she is spending money galore, For she is a duchess on a far foreign shore. 25. Howard was one in the class of '20 Who of admirers always had plenty, And still the people admire him daily, For he's a wild manwith Barnum and Bailey. 26. Blue eyes, light brown hair, and a pleasant way, On her face you saw a smile the live long day: You'll now see our Jessie in one of the big shows As leading lady, whom everyone knows. And now, dear folks, just a moment sit still, Although of this prophecy you've had your fill, Just keep in mind, as you read the last verse. If it wasn't so good, it might have been worse. Freshie- How did it come that just as he knocked on the door the house burst into flames ? Second Freshie- Friction,
