On a corner I saw Archie — He was now a traffic cop, He had just brought in a “flivver” That a “speeder” did not stop. Edith Hendry now holds office; Oh, how wondrous wise is she! None could make a better leader Of the Aid Society. Next I saw a brilliant ball-room, Heard sweet music rise and swell, Butterflies of fashion swarmed there, Of them — Eva Mae — the belle. Frederick ’s now a well-known singer, In every city, East or West; Find his equal — this you cannot — His glorious voice has stood the test. Then, once more, the wand was lifted, And I stood inside a bank, There I saw — Niles Ray, the teller, With monied men he soon will rank. Hazel Moore had never married, Pledged not “for better or for worse”, So she enlisted with the soldiers, And served them as a Red Cross nurse. Then the little fairy whispered, “The far future you have seen, But naught have I revealed to you Of the years that lie between”. Go; bid each one be faithful, In the work he has to do, Unto his friends, his fellow-men, And to himself be true. Make each life grow pure and holy, Keep the soul without a stain, And on Resurrection morning. We all shall surely meet again. So here’s to the far off future, To the years that are past — a tear — And here’s to the twenty-five Seniors Of the nineteen-twenty year. BIRDIE TUCKER, ’20

1 hen I heard a bugle sounding — Saw “Old Glory” wave on high, Merle McKisson — a brave young soldier, Soon came briskly marching by. Emory — devoted mother, To her children loves to tell, Of the day she graduated And to loved classmates said farewell. Wesley looked so very gallant As he gave a stern command I was just about to greet him When the fairy raised her hand. Then I saw another picture Dear to all on earth who roam Elizabeth — a lovely wife, Contented in her happy home. The world I’m sure will lose Jeanette As a famed player on the stage, For the ring that’s on her finger Proves to all that she’s engaged. Sara Nelson long was roaming Over fields so green and wide ; Some young farmer must have wooed her And won her for his fair young bride. Now the fairy waved more swiftly And my vision seemed to flee To the great and restless city Where I found our own “D. T.” Here we also saw Harold Jacob In a big old office chair, He was president of the company, And had made his way with care. All at once, I heard some music, Low and sweet — then loud and sharp ; In a music hall I spied her — Marguerite Woodell with a harp. Marie, a long time, has been busy Teaching school in Tarpon Springs; She’s been teaching French and English And a lot of other things. Lois Sutton’s raising poultry In a far off western state ; She has never yet been married But, out there, she’ll meet her fate.

is emor=5umor |Dnttp O NE of the great events of the year was the party which the Class of ’20 gave the Junior Class at the “Dunedin Dodge”. Special guests who were invited were the Faculty, Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Reece and the Palmetto base ball team, who stayed over after playing the C. H. S. team in the afternoon. When the guests arrived they found the large room beautifully decorated with palms and roses. Everyone was introduced to every one else and then several games were played. Several love affairs immediately loomed near in the offing and for the benefit of all con- cerned it was decided to have some music on the subject (music hath charms to soothe the savage breast). Then more games were played and last but not least, the refreshments were served; (for further information see the Kitchen Police force). Immediately after the refreshments were served Mr. Reece gave a short but much enjoyed talk. Tt was then made known that the Palmetto boys were leaving and the girls made a rush for the door, then came back with “rosy cheek stained by salty tear”, because of this unforeseen catastrophe. All things must come to an end and so did our “Senior-Junior” party and about 12 o’clock everyone headed for home and pleasant dreams. JASPER CROWLEY, 20. Thirty-
