U .L .M ,..,.,-u.AL.lA- IMWFEIHIEW CLASS POEM A finer group yo-u've never seen Than Mother Lantz's chickensg Just. ho'd your tongue about that class Or she'll flog you like the dickens. There's James Ellingeir, tihe President, Who guides us through to fameg And mischievous Billy Harrison, Who usually takes all the blame. Then Martha and Mary, the Akrm twins, Whrm you never can tell apart: And Orville Clouse, the comedian, Who stopped one of Cupid's darts. For being all-star captain, Bud Wise' will take the cake: Bob Bickle's another good player If he only could keep awake. There's Esther Brown and Edna Dean, The dizzy blondes of the classg And Annabelle Davis, just oppfsite, But a very friendly lass. Ida Hoffman and Marjorie Blush Are endowed w'th intelligenceg Louraine Roller and Ruth Matthews Also ,have plenty of sense. Betty Newton and Pauline Florence Are just stuffed full of humor: VVhile Mary Ellen Putman, true to friends Never l'stens to a rumor. I think that wel will all agree That Alys Rice is a good sportg And Warren Exline, alias Babe Ruth The baseball team will support. Alan Bolenbaugzh, a very short lad, A farmer boy will make: While David will probably carry on The work of Papa Drake. Gale Higfh will graduate A year ahead of time: Dorothy Hovernian was ve-ry sure She couldn't write a rhyme. Together in life es well as in verse Are Betty Fowler and Naomi Foorg Lois Ifckes, captain of the basketball team, Is a whirlwind upo.n that floor.

F.ll!9'ml'!! M -,-Nu A.-A - -Au .A.-.-l' 'L!'l.-fill.-.A.u .ggsmmllgy PROPHECY FOR CLASS OF 1939 Last week I returned from a trip around the world. I'm sure some of my ex- periences will interest you. M'ss Lantz a-ccompanied me to Hollywood, where I went first. VVhile there ue found two of my girl friends, Louraine Roller and Edna Doan. Edna was a stand-in for Alice Faye and Lourainel was private secretary for Clark Gable. I had to continue the trip alo.ne because Miss Lantz fell in love with a :handsome movie actor. A few days later I left Hollywood and went to New York. Ilere I discovered a classmate, Maxine' Place, who is a houseinaid for Mrs. Hobart Profit, the former Mary Ellen Putman of Ohio City. I a'so saw James Ellinger who was New Ycrk's outstaad- ing lawyen It wfs soon time for me to journey o.n. My next stop was Florida where I stayed at the O'son hotel. Mrs. Olson was the former Betty Fowler. In Chicago, my next stup, I ffund the Brown and Mi:h1n Step High, Light and Quickly Night Club . Two nfiny fonner dasmnates AnnabeHe Davm and Pauhne Fhmencq umre engaged there as participants in the Hcor show. Annabelle was their great swing dancer and Pauline wvas the r fanious blues singer. . While I was making the trip to Europe, the Ship's Dance Band, under the direc- tion of Bob Bickle, was awarded a radio contract to play on the Krugh and Bolenhauuh Nutcracker Program. During this voyage, I also saw the former Lois Ickes and her husband who were making t.heir annual trip to Europe. . , ln PaHs.FWance I wasinuch surprwed unsee Ida HoHnwn and Ehada Hensfn Ida was studying a subject called, The Selection of a Good Husband and ,Elzada was studying opera. In that beautiful country of Switzerland, where I visited a short time later. I found Orville Clouse, David Drake and the Akom twins who were vacationing there. In Detroit I heard Major Albert Wise's Program where Kenneth Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lantz, sang a solo. To my surprise I found that the pianist was the former Ruth Matthews. A young boy and a girl did acrobatic tap dancing and they won much applause. I learned later that they were my former classmates B.ll Har- rmon and Beny Newton I hardly recognized Ohio City when I returned because so many things were changed. I rcde by a large basebaH dimnond and standing in the nnddle of the held was the second Babe Ruth, Warren Exline who was batting furiously. Base- balls? Nol A Swarm of bumble bees had just gone over his hend. I went into High's Restaurant and ordered chicken and .noodle soup. Gale was so long br'nging niy soup that I decided he niust have gotten hungry and eaten the chicken. I went in to vistlt some of my friends where my former classmates and I used to be held as prisoners. I discovered two of my former classmates, Alys Rice and Marjorie Blush. Marjcrie, a science teacher, was trying to tell Robert Koch Jr. what a worm is and Alys was the famous coach of the outstanding Souaws. The next day I returned honie washing I inight start on another trfp to again see all of my classmates. DOROTHY HOVERMAN. -T1 ll l 1 15iY71 l lT6IGVN1l 1l - ' f c t - f - n o- fc' mmm. .am .ffmfgf 5
