When we march to class in line, Freshies say, Gee, they look fine! We've got the whole bunch at our feet- Yes, that's a fact-we can't be beat. For if there's any work to do We're right at itfpeppy too. Now, Who's the life of Akron High? No one elseellovina-Why? The Way she gets arolund the boys, 'Tis nothing slow, it just annoys Us girls to see so popular a Miss as she! There's Kelly too-the Physics shark, Works in the Lab till after dark. An all around girl, we must agree- One like her you seldom see. V Anita Maynard's the girl with the eyes That never fail to vamp the guys She likes them all4yes very Well, i i Especially Chick, but you never can tell. There's pretty Edith Nelson, too, A shark at basket ball 'tis true: Bobbed hair, goloshes, smile and all, No wonder all the boys do fall!

Not Iiaving thc power lnyscll' of dirining so far into the future, I was greatly dcliglitcd one day, not long ago to meet a miraculous personagc, who was gifted with that insight. She was holding consultation at appointed hours in a reception room of the Mart'n Hotel, Sioux City at the exhorbitant price of ten dollars an hour. I was admitted to learn the fates of our Senior class. Leading me into a dark room with mirrored walls, I was designated a chair just opposite the mystic person, You will of course pardon my curiosity in regard to nn' personal welfare as I could lnirclly wait for her to begin her disclosure. She -had a small sphere with which she worked. After some minutes she asked me to keep my eyes on the glass mirror and then began revealing the fates of my friends. The first was our old class president, Lovina. She said she coulld see her in an orphan's home as the matron with a large number of small children around her. She next revealed Clifford Aalfs, who was in the kitchen of his home, a large checked apron on, washing dislhes with two little boys and a small girl pulling at his apron strings, while his wife, all dressed for club, was giving orders. I was quite surprised when she said she could see Phil delving in books in Oxford University, working upon a masters degree.. I could hardly supress a simile at finding Kelly an old maid school teaclher, jacking up several handsome, yet unruly school boys. Duc to deploring financial conditions Anita appeared to be Chiok's cook as well as stenc grapher. Old Happy Coyle had taken a course at Harvard and was now collecting bugs for some Institute of Bugology in New York. The rnce demure Inez appeared to 'be walking down the street of Chicago, a charming society flapper. A Sibyl was staging in one of the most popular movies of the day as leading lady. Orley, a very pious looking man, the fuxturistf' reported to be preaching in one of the largest churches of San Francisco, highly esteemed and loved by his parish. Muriel I see her just appearing in a large circus tent as bingo's jazz baby. And Edith Nelson tihe happy wife of a farmer, cheerfully feeding the chickens and milking the cows to help her loving husband. Elsie Johnson is in New York managing a flaming school and one of the besl teachers of her kind in the city. Alpiha we see in Canada, slinging flapjacks for a large camp of Canadian lnnibermen. Richard Kyle seems to have migrated southward and is the Shiek of Alabamf' Still watching with intense interest the mirrored sphere, I was much surprised at seeing myself settled in a similar apartment as the one I now occupy, revealing like pictures of the future to other inquisitive characters. +Gladys Harris ' w LJ :Tu cn t ':i, g - - ETJL1 L...,.q Lint

Always stands to the very last, l To make things better for her class. Inez Cobb, she's smallest you know, Intends sometime to start to grow. And some day, too, it'll be eggs and ham She'll be cooking for some lucky man. 5 Another Johnson-Alphas the name, , Thru thick and thin she's just the same. l l And she's the exception to the general rule l Of talkative women in the modern school. I , f l Orley Hanck, tho' not much to talk, 2 But girls, did you notice that cunning walk? 9 They say that in science he's won much fame, And we hope some day he'll have a great name. Everett Coyle is the man with the smile, I He's known as Happy for many a mile. I And oh, girls, you know he has a big Revo eight, Though his mama won't let him stay out very late. I Clifford Aalfs, tho he appears to be slow, V Would really like to be somebody's bea-u. He may feign to be studious, buisineisslike and smart, i But we'll say that dancing-fun and girls is his art. Philip March quite lives up to his name, , l And he's no slouch in playing a game. I He likes all girls and especially some i ' And when they come round we'll see some fun. l Richard Kyl, height is his great fame, l T And really, girls, he has a high aim. it Yes, he's a Senior, but we fail to see 1 Why he has studies with the other three. f Sibyl McCorkell, tho' she hasn't m-uch to say, Has everyone captured by her winning way. U When it comes to efficiency, she's there from the start, iq And anyone might be proud of her heart. 5 5 -Sibyl Mccorkell --l Q 'l W ,NME-Q-M1-1-.H A-g -, il-J , U -t-s gf -f--,g-M C1 rin C..Ll3.L1v1A L
