INTERLOCHEN Probabilities and Possibilities The bell had rung, the classes had passed When I entered the Physics roomg Two pupils were leaving, and both of them looked As though they had witnessed their doom. I hastened them on, for I had agreed To browse through some books that we'd found In looking through the official files When no one had been around. Enter Miss Daly, my colleague now, A professor in physics, toog For pedagogical lines were ours, And nought but physics would do. Enter Prof. Daly with under her arm A book of gigantic size, The records of people who'd passed from our clutch, Of people who'd really been wise. When we poked through the lines written over with names, Listed all, year by year, We found our old class under twenty-eight And 'twas then that our thoughts settled there. We thought of the days we'd prophecied When each should take the place We'd planned for him in twenty-eight, . But we'd little reckoned Fate. 0f all the people in that class, Professor Daly and I Were the only ones to follow the lines Laid down for us to try. Mary's a disciple of Edgar Guest And often versifiesg While Noris flits from coast to coast In the Curtis plane he flies. To the Chicago Civic Opera House Our talented have flown, With Lowell and Martha singing there East High continues known. On the stage we'rt represented well With Kay in Luey's playsg And the movies now are advertising, Paul Shields in the Fairbanks Ways. To a graver group our name has pierced Where Adah teaches lawg And Afric Missionary Ed Braves danger of tooth and claw. Wilma has taken Al Karney's place, She's an organist for life, While Howard's an infant specialist now And wields a wicked knife. We've one real musician of radio fame As he plays on his slide trombone, That's Howard Koster, announced by rill, Who's running his station alone. Mer- In Physical Ed our teacher is Ede, While Webby is coach at old Yaleg But for real feats of strength it's Tanis see, Laying bricks on a real-estate deal. we'4l Henry Ford has a most able factory man In ,lack Zant, who's head mechanician. ln an architect's office on Fifth Avenue Dorothea's fulfilled her ambition. And last but not least, in a famed college town, Where the latest in fashion is placed. 'Neath a sign reading Haiti Ye Sweete Beauty Shoppe - Is no other than Evelyn H. We gazed from the book, but the room had grown dim, We'd forgotten the passage of hours And had been for the afternoon hack with our class In memory's loftiest tower. Recalled to our senses by tests to correct, We discarded the cause of our dreams: But we kindled the spirit inflamed in our hearts And are lit on our way by its beams. -VIRGINIA CLARK. l26l
