Help me, O Muse, its future to relate! Tell me, O Muse, tell what will be its fate! Look far ahead and tell me what you see, And say what our Temorrows are to be Give me, O Muse, in this appointed task Your help, your guidance, that is all I ask. I see a group whose faces seem to call Back memories and days dear to us all. They meet onee more, once they met each day Before they go on their accustomed way. It is a motley group that here I seeg There's drama inter-mixed with comedy. But silence! Each his story now will tell In what things he has failed, in what excelled. When Janet Herrick plays, the world grows still And of her beauteous music drinks its fill. Tabby J ohnson, a general, world -renowned, Is ordering Private Pitney all around. Dwight Reiteel rises, with a weary sigh, Says he is growing wings so he can fly, And reach some place of safety and repose Where he'll be left alone so he can doze. And Evelyn Long speaks softly, Come to Mars, My home is far from aeroplanes and trolley ears. Everett Bjork groans, Listen, I'm a wreck! My talents left me, I can't even draw a cheek. Don Saunders hears him, says, Tell me your story My paper'll publish it and I'll gain glory. Chet Wadsworth was too busy with the cost Of our reuniong to all else his senses lost. George Cassel had gone to Oxford for he knew CMiSs Hershey told himj women went there too. And H errnine Behrends as a chorus girl Has set the world of Follies all awhirl. And Maude Young, called the best of nurses, In a great hospital grinned and then said, Durst-sl Each time I leave my Work for parts unknown Doctor Weaver calls me back by radio-phone. In Boston Ethel Barge is writing a Worldls history. Edna Itnyrels raising chickens on a farm near Milwaukee. Mary Bell is traveling, she's going ,round the earth, Shels traveling in an airplane that goes for all it's worth. With school teachers our class is very well supplied: Eunice Conrad, Esther Good, Jennie King, these besides Kreider Woods, Ccan you imagine'?j who is teaching aviation. And Lloyd Harting entered politics, his motto, Save the Nationlw And way up in Canada was found a trapper's home Where Robert H onens, it is said, spends all his time alone. And over in Europe, traveling all around, In all the queerest corners, Leora Black was found. Hazel Ammon, I have heard, is a desert queen 29 T i l 1
