Class Prophecy (Mother Goose enters, very tired) My, this has been a busy week for me, But it’s been well worth it, I can see; Although I am tired( and quite worn out From traveling the United States about Trying to find members of the ’27 throng— I knew they’d be helping the world along. It’s been great fun for me, ’tis true And I’ve succeeded in finding all but two. Now you can rely upon it, and safely bet That I won’t give those two up, just yet. (Yell off stage) What is that? Listen! Hark! I hear a cheer from the ball park. (Chorus gives school yell, Mother Goose peeps out) Now who would guess that here, at home, McClelland Dixon, who never liked to roam, Is cheer leader of Oakland’s big ball game. At this position he has won great fame. The name of the rivals I can’t tell yet, But Oakland’s winning the game, don’t fret. When it comes to playing, you them can’t defeat With Mitchell Franklin as coach and star athlete. At last I’ve found all, so an account I'll give Of how the Seniors of ’27 help others to live.

Class Will Realizing that we are about to pass through the portals of our dear Alma Mater and enter into the vicissitudes of life, we pause, to express our hearty appreciation for the benefits we have gained here and the good times we have enjoyed. Inasmuch as we have been examined and pro- nounced of sound mind and body, and have ample time to do so, we herein make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First: After careful consideration and appreciation of the opportunity it has afforded us we leave to the School Board of Garrett County the bus lines, without which many of our class could not have obtained their high school education. Second: In return for what they have done in preparing us for our life’s work and guiding us onward toward our goal we will and bequeath the following to the loyal members of the High School faculty: To our beloved principal, Miss Katharine, who has been a true friend and helper throughout the past four years, we give a chauffeur for her car, with the hope that James may find employment elsewhere. In remembrance of the many enjoyable evenings we have spent in Mr. Jenkin’s forty-minute class, and realizing that without us he will become lonesome, we have decided to bestow upon him a parrot. Owing to the fact that Miss Archer is constantly growing fonder of that color known as red, we have pleasure in presenting her with the popular song, “When the Red-Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbin’ Along.” We give to Miss Brown, our domestic science teacher, a book on “‘diets”’ to use for the benefit of next year’s cooking class. To Miss Cox, we bequeath a new record, to be played in the typewriting department, in place of the one she has worn out. To Miss Ruth, who has unselfishly given her musical ability toward the improvement of the School, we cede a stack of old ““Brown” books. We bestow upon Mr. Graser an engagement book in order that he may keep straight his many dates. To Miss Johnson, who has loyally done her share in the development of United States Citizens, we leave next year’s Democracy Class. As Miss Fulgham is exceedingly fond of insects, we present her a book on “Bugs.” Upon receiving the information that Miss Underwood is greatly interest- ed in agriculture, we have decided to, throughout the coming year, send her a monthly copy of the State Agriculture Bulletin. Third: As we pass into the great beyond we realize that there is one thing we have acquired in High School that we cannot hope to take with us, this, our title of “Privileged Characters,” we heartily bestow upon the Junior Class. a the Sophs, we give the pleasure of carrying all bugs to Biology class. To the Freshmen we give all the Oak leaves around the school house. Fourth: We leave, individually, our private possessions, as follows: dl
