qrhe Encoala Senior Glass (prophecy ’Twas a glorious night of magic moonlight, When nothing seemed in troubles ’Twas not far folly but more melancholy That I engaged in blowing bubbles! Bubbles flew high in the sky. Dancing in the moonlight, Fantastic hues of reds and blues— But more than color attracted my sight. In one great bubble there was no trouble For me to read a sign, “Let thy mind drift, let it shift To nineteen-thirty nine!” The very next left me vexed For Lo! and Behold! In this bubble I discovered A playwright, Myrtle Rowe! In another I could see further The future of our class A painting grand done by hand And signed Ewell Bass. As the bubbles flew I successfully drew From them familiar faces Cluster, Jean, Vea and Maurine Working in beauty parlor places. Then Matha, Lell and Margie Belle And our beloved Minnie Mae Elma Gene and Katherine Were involved in Chautaqua play. In professional ball was Oscar McCall Guy, Wink, Rowe and Sam Charles Mizell played exceptionally well With honors in his crown, Those who ceased to tarry and decided to marry Were few and short in word Vivian and Sara, Lillian and Mary Including Bessie Byrd.
