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

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
