CLASS PROPHECY One day I wondered about the fate Of each and every old class mate. Where were they now and what did they do Who graduated in ’32? Accordingly I looked around. Of them, no traces could he found. An inspiration came to my mind I’d study the stars their fates to find. 1 studied the stars with much success And learned strange things you’d never guess. The greatest circus of the day Is Rothenherger’s! Hip-hurray! The strong man of the circus troupe Is no less man than Johnny Stroup. He has with him his favorite flower. An Iris at which he looks each hour. The fat man now is Edgar Ray; Seven fifty does he weigh. The hare hack rider’s Minnie Downs; While Roy Surface leads the clowns. The lion tamer, brave and hold. Is Sam FitzHenry, we are told. The eater of the fire, Rex Eaton, Is seldom equalled, and ne’er been beaten. But the thing that causes most of the talk Is E. Gillespie’s tight rope walk. IVdigo and Pickering arc on the air, More famous than Amos and Andy there. A very great actor’s Jim O’Rear, Who’s noted fer playing mad King Lear. His stage is managed by Francis Lane, Who’s tried for years to please him in vain. The best known journalist in the land Is Virginia Fowler, we understand. Her article, “A Nice Long Ear,” Brought her this great renown, we hear. Her faithful servant is Studie Locke, Who leads her dog around the block Once in the morning and twice at night. And sees he’s tucked to bed just right. Our friend, the talented Bob Norris, Now is leading the Broadway Chorus. M. Patrick heads the Ladies’ Aid; All people of her tongue are afraid. Mary Kelley’s love was art Till the call of religion invaded her heart, And so a Parson she became. The list of her converts is long to name. Next on the list is Ethel Boyd. Who acquired habits all should avoid. Deciding she’d had enough bad fun, She went in seclusion as a nun. She did much good in guiding right Irene Larsh and Dora Goodnight. Converts too were Yuill and Fee. Bad bandits all would dread to sec. For the good of humanity, Louise Crain Has given her life to help the insane. A Young love affair tragically o’er. Bill Mohr is a hermit in Laborador. Our great adventurer, Thyrlin Cline. Discovered an African diamond mine. But Harold McKinsev—the real man— Ambassador is to Afghanistan. Don Thatcher has a good job. too, He’s editor now of Ballyhoo. Hannah Emmons lives with her parret, A gift from her good friend, William Garrott, A brave, had soldier of the best sort, He has a girl in every port. Shipwrecked on a lone isle for a year. He’d nothing to eat or drink but beer. Elma Clendenning and Thelma Emshoff Spend all their lives in playing golf. A great bridge player is Dorothy Smiley, How slyly she plays with her tricks so wilcy. Mary Goldsberry and Martha McKown Are nurses now of great renown. Having made a fortune by selling ice packs, Then Edna Smith retired to Colfax. Helen Ryan was a great skater they tell Till she slipped on a Surface, and, oh, how she fell. An airplane was built by Ferdinand Maish That went ’round the earth and back in a dash. And pilot Martin flew this plane So fast lie nearly went insane. In going ’round the earth he flew Three times around befere he knew. Jlunsicker, in science renown. Playing in his lab blew up a town. All people, ’twas thought, would die of burns, Till on the scene came Dr. A. Kerns. John Swearingen was very wise. An authority on spider’s eyes. Alas! One crawled upon his head, Bit his ear, and he fell dead. Completely nertz” is Richard Carr. He carried out old “pi too far. Two million places he did go; Then thought that lie was Cicero. Her chances so many she couldn’t decide By which fair youth she’d rather abide; So D. Rothenberger is an old maid, With each gray hair her hopes now fade. [ 23 1
