Across the meadows verdure Steps his wife so tried and true, She is our old friend ' s pride and joy — I think you can guess who. And from the nation ' s center, Heart of its joys and frets, Hear Clellah ' s passioned pleading, — for She ' s Queen of Suffragettes. But stop. A small voice prompts me, That tho her ways are set, There ' s a handsome gentleman on earth Who ' s bound to have her yet. And this worthy Walter Willson- As he ' s the one I meant — On earth is highest of that class, For he is President. In the government of this noble man Voices known of old I hear; And faces long remembered Begin now to appear. For here ' s a runt whom I should know- He was our High School ' s curse, But tho John dunned us boys of old, Now he holds the nation ' s purse. Boisterous tho he was at school, I there see Harold Brown; As a cut-up he had always been, They could not hold him down.

g!mj glrmnt Now I go ahead in fancy To years that are not as yet, And I see myself and comrade By the pearly entrance set. On which side I was standing, I cannot let you see; For I am quite uncertain. — And ' twould not be fair to me. But I can see quite plainly, As I look down from the skies. That which may not be known on earth But is seen from Paradise. And my comrade turning to me, Says in accents earthly keen, Say, pal, and could you tell me ' Bout the class of old ' 19? Then I turn my keen gaze earthward, Voicing events so true, Of the lives of my old classmates, Of your comrades, and of you First I see old Hussie standing By his worthy spouse ' s side; This staid and sober statesman Is now his country ' s pride. And ' round the hearth-fire reclining Is noble papa ' s joy, For thirteen children has he got, — And every one a boy!

J Marie Palmer and Ruth Creasy Work here with heart and head, Altho they flirted much of yore, They now must earn their bread. Maude Steele is an old maid as yet, Don ' t laugh! She is heart-sick; She had many a fellow long ago But by her they would not stick. Ah! Here ' s a girl who ' s happy In blissful married life, Ruth Slagle gave up long ago; She is a happy wife. Duck, friend. I know the villain. This aerial road-hog; ' Tis our old class aviator, The far-famed Roger Grogg. Again below your eyes do cast. Aha! I smell a mouse; There ' s speedy Bill, our long lost friend, Head of the old poor-house. There ' s Auburn ' s famous scientist; And tho she is a girl. The thoughts from Jessie Carnahan sprung Have set the earth awhirl. To every corner of the earth Spreads Jessie Moffet ' s fame; The greatest actress e ' er there lived, And greatest of her name. George Borst was once a ladies ' man, But now — sad to relate, George heads a young ladies ' school — poor things. They dare not have a date.
