History of the Class of ’25 The Freshman Class of ’21 Came “up the hill’ to have some fun, As they supposed, at Oakland High, But on arriving, heaved a sigh. The “Eighty” found ten teachers strong There to make them walk along The crooked path of Science and Math Until they nearly died of wrath. Much fun they had, oh! to be sure. In ways of mischief some did lure, And Mr. Kolb and Jenkins, too, So oft did wish to spank a few. As “Sophs” they acted ‘awful bad” And one fine day, Miss Ruth got mad And sent the boys from school a week. When they came back, they sure were meek As Jolly Juniors, they were great. Each thing they did, was done first rate. A dance, they gave the Senior Class, A treat, to date, still unsurpassed. As Sen iors they did work and grin. The Declamation, one did win. In all affairs, they took the lead And were “right there” for every need. The “eighty” strong were “thirty-six” When they had learned all high school tricks, The biggest class and far the best That ever left the “O. H. 8.” SHEE eee Russell Brown, Secretary Treasurer MULTE LLLLLLEOLLLEEEOUOUUULELOHOOT UU TOOPOO I TLOUHHTILIUNTUOTTTTMEEEE TTTTNTTNT ITNT TTT TT I IF AN CTA

24 Teo Eee oAmb 1925 CLASS PROPHECY “Pair is foul, and foul is fair; Hover through the fog and filthy EM “Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and caldron bubble.” A WITCH:— Ha! What’s this I see? A misty mist. Hm! Takes shape; I wonder what ’tis. A human form. Sisters, does look familiar to me. It nearer comes. A woman. A missionary nurse. She has gathered round her several small children and I see someone in the corner. A dying mother. The nurse ministers to her needs. ‘Tis our old classmate, Betty Buzzerd. She speaks. What does she say to the sick woman? Listen: “I will come tomorrow. Tis a pleasure for me to help anyone.” A shade passes over my eyes. I see no more. The shade takes flight. I see an- other form; I hear glorious music. A trumpet resounds through the air. Before a king and queen and royal company I see our old friend, Russell Brown, holding‘ all present spellbound by his wonderful music. A huge form darkens my horizon. It is a fat lady, reading loud a treatise on Physics and punctuating each sentence with a huge suck upon a peppermint stick. Ah! Virginia Casteel. Had you but realized what extreme obesity excess candy would cause you, you would put away peppermint sticks forever. I hear a mumbling sound. ’Tis counting, counting, counting. I perceive a stooped form over a high desk. Debit, credit, debit, credit; balance; loss. I do believe ’tis Carlton Chance. Poor soul, he is the bookkeeper and son-in-law of H. V. Leighton. Funny sight! Great legs! Strange! Legs, legs and nothing but legs! Whoever it is needs to climb no poles to put up telephone wires. Sufficient are his legs thereof. Old Niles Falkenstine saves the electric company, for which he works, many a dol- lar because it uses his legs instead of poles for wiring. Someone is helping him— another tall fellow—our old friend Edward Sebold. Now, what’s this? ’Tis Margaret Friend! What is she doing? Ah! there she is down in Texas, still at her old tricks—trying to rope the cowpunchers, A figure struggling through the odds and ends of life. Aha! It is our pretty little classmate, Mary Ours, displaying her beauty as a model in a very elaborate fashion shop in New York. I hear children’s voices. In looking closer I see Nina Foster, Audrey Lewis and Mary Scott all helping little children in school. These young ladies have won splen- did reputations as teachers in Garrett county. Bells! Bells! Bells! Ringing! Ringing! Ringing! They almost deafen my ear. What’s the meaning? Oh! ’Tis clear now to me. ’Tis a grand procession. A wedding! I do believe it is Rose Murphy and Walter Nine. Ah! Rose and Walter, who could ever have imagined that in their wildest dreams? The sound has died away. I hear no more, All is lost to sight. Something ap- pears before me. Why, I believe it is a ranch. Sure enough! But what’s this I see coming at such furious speed galloping and rearing? A bucking broncho and its rider, Let’s see who the rider is. It’s Edith Shockey, who seems to be having a good time visiting her old beau, Earl Sterling, in the West. Both she and Earl have be- come famous as bareback riders. She disappears over the horizon and the thunder of horses’ hoofs is lost in the distance. Another scene comes before me. It is a store. There sits a bookkeeper with his assistant. His mind does not seem to be on his work. Horrors! Look how red he’s getting. What is he looking at? Oh! Some young ladies! He punches his assistant and starts to run. If it isn’t our schoolmate, Paul Shultz. He is a confirmed old) bachelor and the sight of a lady makes him run a mile. His assistant is Bryan Browning. He, too, is afraid of the ladies.
