To The June Class of 1923 As we flounder on our way, And are weakened from dismay, When our battle seems the darkest And our goal seems off the farthest, Above we see a beacon light, Gleaming from a rugged height, And we hear a voice that's saying, As for strength we're humbly praying, 4And its message to our ears Seems to banish all our fears.i Find a way or make one And to you success will come. Heads erect and eyes upon the goal, Have faith within your weary soul For you shall never, never fail Until the cherished goal you hail With a hearty shout, and loud, As you sweep from view the cloud, With your colors flying free, You, June Class of '23.i, Chester Lafferty Class Dfficers PRESIDENT-Cleo Peterson VICE-PRESIDENT-SUZHHHC Kolhoff SECRETARY-Louise Rice TREASURER-John Fitzgerald SERCEANT-AT-ARMS-Carl Bernhardt Senior Committees ANNOUNCEMENTS: Chairman, Adrian Pierce: Rebecca Sweetland.

26 THE ARSENAL CANNON Prophecy of the June Class of 1923 Br VIRGINIA Rosa Foxwoariir AND LANE SCHULTZI-3 ffl' proplzcls of June. '23 class. Ilfitlz H3870 as our 1JOll't'l'. Present oursclres Iritli pleuszut In llzis goodly hour. Trip-mp-rap. and from Tech We flew to ,I!'Cf1 your roll And prcscn! our plzoplzecy. HEN Leon Destautel's last crops failed, he scraped together what ucoppersw he had and sailed for France to visit rela- tives whom he had not seen since early child- hood. Fortune changed its course, and in 1935 Leon became the heir of the well known MCastle of Dreamsf, Five years ago, Miss Suzanne Kolhoff began her tour of the world. In Africa, she found the missionaries, Dorothy Avels, and Emily Dunbar, making a brave attempt to instill Tech principles into the minds of the natives. Miss Kolhoff's songs so enchanted the natives that they have given the missionaries no further trouble. According to the New York Times, Miss Kolhoff is not escaping the attractions of the French uCastle of Dreams previously men- tioned. The most wonderful Paris gowns of today are designed by W. Earl Beyer. Miss Charlotte Gilman, one of his patient models, says that Mr. Beyer is so entertaining with his dramatic art that the girls of Paris go to see him instead of his display of gowns. Emily Brossman is the popular illustrator for Ed Ragland's latest novel, 'GA Story from the Victrola Needlef, Modeling for Miss Bross- man are Chester Demmary and Eloise Owings. The president of the I. W. W. is Walter Browning. His assistants are Don Gullion and Harriet Shoemaker. The Barnum-Bailey Circus has now come into the hands of John Loftus and Alan Majors. The personnel of the circus is to be noticed: Charlotte Reissner, the world's famous snake charmer, is assisted by Robert Webb who keeps Madame Reissner well supplied with snakes from the Tech campus. Iris Innis, the tight rope walker, has never fallen nor excited her spellbound audience by losing her equilibrium while in the air. When Margaret Troy found basket ball too strenuous for her, she took up the training of dogs. Having rounded up all the Tech 6'Fidos, she found it unnecessary to import dogs. c Vivian Stevenson is now the Boncilla girl in James Greshmanis beauty parlor. James guarantees that his assistant takes out wrinkles perfectly or money refunded. Regular customers are: George Bass, the fishermang John Bolte, the hardware man: Richard Bunch, the florist, Hazel Bell, the telephone girl. We are not surprised to hear that Ruth Trueblood is now a Latin professor at Wabash. Margaret Graham, the captain of the Old Maid's Basket-Ball Team which is made up of members who refused to do their daily dozen any other way, has now resigned since her oft-repeated prophecy that she would always remain an old maid was not fulfilled. Manual Leve and Mildred Murphy are de- lighting Fifth Avenue with their latest ball- room dances. Miss Murphy completed her course under Wilbur Keeler some two years ago. Mr. Leve received his training many years ago in Miss Phoebe's '4Blue Room. Bertha Green and Betty Lee, who were al- ways such quiet, demure little ladies, are spend- ing a peaceful life in a convent at Rome. Miss Green and Miss Lee, who never cared for the frivolity of youth, have been here since 1925 since they were unable to endure the strenuous American college life. Grace Elizabeth Lashbrook, a graduate of Wellesley, starred with Harold Elston Dukes in uPlays for Kiddiesw on Broadway for two years. Miss Lashbrook is now the head of the Latin department at Tech. H. E. Dukes is singing for the Victor records. g Robert Brooks. the editor of the Indianapolis News. recently said. Since the night 1 graduated, I haven't seen so Inany members of the June, 123 class as I saw at Keith's this week. Gladys Christie sold me my ticket and Herbert Sedam ushered me to my seat.
