SENIOR PROPHECY We were traveling in Boston, ancl towards reading we were bent; After sizing up the city, to the library we went. ’Mong the books that met our vision, there was one of value much For each chapter of its contents, of our classmates all did touch. As we took this book and read it, we saw those familiar names, Of the class of ’24 and the record that it claims; We now shall try and tell of it, all contents to rehearse; The story as we found it, nicely written into verse. There is Frances as of school days still a dangerous shark at math, And Frederick is a minister in Spain’s untrodden path. Then Ethel, so the story goes, has spurned each offering mate, But with her cat and parrot, dwells in lonely spinster state. She, in touch with younger people, gives advice to those in trouble Who do find the world quite heartless, as they hunt themselves a double. Louis Mapel, as of school days, has a mind that’s keenly bent He’s toiled forward, onward, upward, and is now our President. There is Martha who has also marched along to beat the band, And now we find her honored, as first lady of the land. Then there’s Clayton as a banker is just salting down the kale And Roy as coach of football is widely known at Yale. There’s LaVeme whose voice in music, with the best is to be heard, No one can outdo her singing, she can warble like a bird. Calvin is still bright and quiet, just the same as when a lad, His voice rumbles in the pulpit, as he hits both good and bad. Arlene’s said to be as happy, as she e’er was in her life For Cupid pulled her heart strings and she’s now this preacher’s wife. There’s Mildred S. and Clara F. both traveling afar As missionaries in the East these classmates both do star. And Lois is the Matron at a country children’s home, The youngsters are so happy, as with her they daily roam. Next there’s Richard, who’d have thought it, makes his living on the stage; He’s been married but a fortnight—like the rest, a bird did cage. Mary has had joy and sorrow, scrambled in a mirthless state, To divorce four jolly husbands, has been this fair lasses’ fate. Yes, and there’s our smiling Harry, with his hair so pale and hue He, they say, has joined the navy, looks and feels each day so blue, He’s still single, who’d have guessed it, that he’d be without a mate, He’s quite rich, but Oh, so lonely! To have met with such a fate. There’s Marie who with her humor, makes her hearers fairly burst When on stage she makes those faces, peoples’ blues are soon dispersed. Mr. Smith who back at C. G. taught us Math and Speaking too Is now head of Ft. Wayne College, and has students not a few.

±-—±- 3 etc. As we now glance back over the last four years we conclude that they were most meaningful to us and we shall always have happy memories of our years in high school. As our closing sentence may we say that while we regret deeply to leave our high school we are at the same time ready and anxious to move on to the next nd more responsible stage in our lives where we hope to labor for our own betterment and for the betterment of mankind. —LaVerne Sink.

Yes, Miss Hoffman who in History, surely could not be surpassed, With the best of all historians, her retentive mind is classed. Mr. Peters, strong and sturdy, now stands well up in the world, Has gained much renown in Science, good career he has unfurled. Of Miss Williams, you may find her, happy, yes, you bet your life; In a massive home at Akron you will find this preacher’s wife. Then Miss Bubar from Wisconsin, journeyed many miles to teach Is now in the halls of Congress, many people she does reach. And Miss Gossard as an artist, with her canvas and some paint Touches many scenes in Nature with an extra beauty taint. As to us, Lucille and Alice, we’re still girls in all our ways And expect to carry always, memories of our school girl days. —Lucille Fruchey, Alice Jones. “IF” Edgar Beggs does Esther Steele? Louis is a Mapel, is Richard a Busche ? Bread rises does LaVerne Sink? Lavaughn is a Cook, is Guy a Miller? Sheridan is the Best are the rest of us bad ? Caruso was a tenor, is Orrin a Basinger? You want to know the Stiles, see Pearl or Earl. Marie is a Stump, is Lucille a Woods? Charles were to go hunting, would there be a Killen? Budd were fast, would he be Luce? Nolan were to Heidlebaugh, would it be found near the Teegardin ?
