fit X Eilv j SWMQUKS Class 9 H f5bc fpropbccy The Prophet with disheveled hair Sits at his desk with gloomy stare, He trieslto look in future land Into the destiny of our clan. With nervous hand he ponders o'er The parchment for this matchless lore, Not knowing just how to relate ' His visions dim as to our fate. When suddenly did a muse appear His hand grows calm, his brain grows clear, Across the parchment, line by line, The pen is drawn by the muse so kind. It says, that in this joyous land Can dwell not long our happy band. Tho high our purpose, true our acts, We must travel over the sea of facts. Tommy, twenty years from now Pets and curries his Jersey cow. Carl Liebers with his big fog horn Merrily calls the pigs to their corn. J ennie's fame is- soaring high Manufacturing lemon pie For her Rosie, out of doors . Busy with his evening chores. , Russel Jose, now on the stage, A distinguished actor of his age. Ivan Carp is a lover true, Obeys the girl with eyes of blue. Freda's work, so elevating, Spearmint gum is demonstrating, Hall in the art is not efficient, Wintermute is more proficient. Of course McCormick with a will ls selling his famed reapers still, And Carver sells tickets to the show' Throckmorton is the one to go. Y 46, .. And Hazel Haskell, across the way, Is selling popcorn, day by day, Near by Alvah sits and nods, A full-fledged member of the retired squads. Cramb, with deftness, art and skill, Turns the' crank of a lice powder mill, 'Goodie', of the same institution, Now affects its distribution. Guy Talbot is selling fat producer, Lillian Elfeldt vends weight reducer, To their customers they say, See, What results it's had on me. ' . Robert Vorse, as bashful as ever, Popular with the ladies, never! Must his life be single woe? Quoth Miss Bouchard, Nay, not so. Clifford Hotchkiss, scrawny and bent, You'd almost think his life was spent, But just you watch at an old barn dance, Spryly still, with Helen can prance. Jessie Hepperly, that use to be, Sews and tats contentedly, Georgia Brich follows a teacher's life, Fern Dickson is now a cobblers wife. Christie's altitude, a little, bent, Electioneering for president Of a tooth pick factory, High official would he be. Kohler and Moseman, tooting loud, Draw the attention of the crowd - To Lloyd Hanna on the street, Calling home the straying sheep. Byron Cochran's wrinkled brow, Like a wash board is it now, Helps Marshie and King in bold array In Salvation Army-all are they! l I l

V1 .QQ l 7547 cfs-ff P Q t .- C' The ship was loaded to the gun- whales by a great number of new voyagers who cast their lot with the ship. The captain soon heard rumbles about having a party, so a stop was made in November at the old port, Ag. Hall. The voyagers upon arriving in December at a distant land, began to explore the famous and widely noted Robbers caves . After many thril- ling experiences they all climbed aboard to continue their journey on the high sea of education. Things began to grow dull, so in February the voyagers assembled onl the deck for a dance. Those that did not care to dance spent an enjoyable evening on the lower deck, where a theater performance was given by the natives of that region. We sailed on smoothly until April 21, when we beheld the old battered ship of 1915, anchoring for the last time. In remembrance of their well meant kindness we invited them to a recep- tion under the beams of the smiling moon. The old ship was again docked on April, the twenty-fourth, for another six months rest. When October 11, 1915, rolled around, the old ship started out to sea with twenty-nine weather beaten voyagers who had sailed with the ship from her infancy and seventy-one who had in latter years cast their lot with the good old vessel. The last trip ever to be made by the ship was captained by our old weather beaten voyager, Paul Thomsen, and with him his efficient oflicers Hazel Haskell, Marjorie Hall, and Ivan Carpenter. The voyagers were a happy -lot. They made their first stop at the Oliver Theater in November. About three weeks later another stop was made which resulted in the Senior dance and cave party. One glorious Slouch Day was celebrated on the decks on January 25, by the joyous voyagers as their passage had been safe the week before over the reefs and breakers. Another stop was made at Ag. Hall port on January 29, for the Senior party. The voyagers next displayed their dramatic art as it had been taught to them by the vast sea by presenting to the world on February 19 the Senior play, The Crucible . The ship pulled for foreign lands in April, by going to the noted place Crete. Here the voyagers spent one day in exploring unfrequented haunts and dells. V The ship, much battered and weather beaten, returned safely ashore with its hundred voyagers on Friday night, April 21, 1916. It has been resolved, that the ship shall never again leave the Port Uni., but be left there in memory of those who were so success- ful on the long tedious voyage. ummm:

X S3 i as fl ,af I X A Qt Johnny Harrison's smile, so wide, Is known all over the country side, While Renard, on the other hand, . Has the deepest frown in all the land. Frank Pierce lives a grocer's life, Mary became a grocer's wife, In their home you'd love to be, 'Cause they live so cosily! Pollard, with abox for seat, Absorbs the grocer's meager heat, To Clegg, upon his barrel mount, Wonderous tales does he recount. Ethel Magee a name has won, Now a Foreman has become, Lola Marshall with all her charm Settled down. Now, free from Harm? High up in the business race Germany Warner has a place, Hot air merchant, as of old, H Sanborn helps him, we are told. Violas', both without dispute, Are artists grand, of high repute, Before the mirror with powder and uif, 1 P Artisticly, they ply the bluff . Allen Kennedy, an actor grand, 'Stars' upon his homestead land, Nor a Birdie has he caught, Q Tho' with labor a cage has wrought. Jenkins at last has foundhis call, As chief detective in the lower hall, Also a sponsor he has found, Tho many a day he searched around. Gentle little Violet Pierce Beats her hubby something fierce, Never dares he stay out late- John knows well what befalls his fate. Miller, Ginther, Biba, and Brown On large estates have settled down, But Mammen cannot peace attain, Chronic globe trotter does he remain! Arthur Rogers is a peddler man, Solicits the trade of generous Kavan, The wildgoats that in youth he did sow Very good bread did make? Oh, no! Campbell, on a foreign strand, Is watching the interests of our land, Louis Hector aspired to the place, Back to Germany his steps he would trace. Swanson's given up the 'weed' And's a temperance man we read, 'Buddie' helps rescue from the flagon People not on the water wagon. Gannon in a lard campaign Over Texas, he would reign, But he made an awful blur, Mintling became the governor. Birdie still keeps up the pace, h Declares she'll never give up the 'Chase', To her Ozark Mountain school Faye Parker journeys on a mule. Marj. Hall and E. Carp. with a fancy dance Do hosts of people all entrance, And on a platform ten by two They sell patent medicine and glue. Sandstedt wants that crime should cease, Has been chosen justice of the peace, Tries cases hard, like Harry Russell, - Prize fighter in unlawful tussel. And now the muse's work is done, The epistle is ended as begun, The prophet awakes with deepest sighs, The matchless lore before him lies. 'Dear classmates, harsh as this may seem, Remember, it's but a prophet's dream 3 May future bring you joy and peace, May all your trials and hardships cease. D. J. D. M. P. Committee F. M. w. J
