Twenty-two AQQQ IBETOHII y Both Mary and Phyllis Tabaka, Those two little maids so demure, llaving- vamped everything in this count! i Are going abroad 110W for sure. Troy Phillips is peddling bananas, Every block 211141 a half he will yell, But he needn't yell quite so loudly, You can hear him a mile just as well. Blanche Catlin, 'way out in Nevada Is teaching piano, she said Now the cattle are taking the country Because all the cowboys are dead. Oh! lVhere is Elizabeth Dobson? That answer there's nobody knows. The last I knew she was in Texas Exhibiting: hand painted hose. Joe Sloan was last seen in Miami I11 real estate business, I Qguess. Did he get the girl he was after? Yes! Beulah is his, I confess. Now Doris Lucille's in Chicago. An expert marceller is she, Folks say she's marcelled everybody, But she couldn't wave I-K-E. I go to the ball game tomorrow Hold Homer will surely be there. NVhile Grange is laid up with a Charley lle's playing left half-back for fair. Oh! XVillie is still just a farmer NVho gets up quite early each morn. Ile sits by the fireside till evening And speculates prices of corn. They've lost all account of Jim Nally He's gone like invisible ink. If facts all were kIl0Wll on the matter, They'd fi11d him in Racine, I think. Now what do you think of Glen Durbin Since he and Pauline ran away? I sure am surprised at the Rev'rend Hut preachers will do that they say. , 19fQ -

' C Yes, we enlisted for a four year term, and soon we shall have served our time out, for we are Seniors now, stationed on deck ttnumber four, the very top-most part of our rigid craft. ln this positio11 the light of the sun shone full upon us at setting, and illuminated all our surroundings, 211111 there, not three leagues ahead of us, we discerned the welcome shore, upo11 which, in the very glare of tl1e setting su11, we read, written in flam- ing golden letters, the 0110 g'reat word, 'fSuecess. 111 a few weeks we shall land upon the shore of aceomirlishment, from which we can look back over the wide expanse over which we labored happily and braved alike the hardships and the pleasures. During our Senior-ship, through which we were guided by the faithful co-operation of Mr. McClellan and Mr. Kron- sagen, our worthy advisors, we were joined by three faithful classmates, Blanche Catlin, Cora Lowe, a11d Russel Waters. We were also deserted by Ralph Shively, Cyril Shively, Nate Smith, and E.hel Iladden. Our of- ficers who served us faithfully during this fourth and final voyage were, Owen Hanna, President, Glen Durbin, Vice-President, a11d Lola Swick. Secretary and Treasurer. Now we must part, each of our crew to man his ow11 craft through life, but never forgetting his delightful days spent in old Bement Town- ship High School. , Senior Prophecy I passed through the door of my chamber Made warm by the fire's ruddy glow, Then suddenly chanced to remember Occasions of years long ago, XVhen, capped and gowned, we assembled, Before from the High School we'd go. The fire shot its merry tongues skyward, My chair to the hearthside I pulled. With smoke from n1y fag curling upward, lVas dead to the external world. I saw 111y friend Hanna, a hobo, And Marshall was close by his side, lVith marvelous deeds to their credit, They both from the cops must hide. Harold Adams now sits in the XVhite House. He's l1oldi11g his job pretty well. But how in the world will they wake him, A deaf and dumb congress cantt yell. Howard Hill, now a great ladies' barber, Paid tribute today to the stork, But they sent him home Monday morning- He tried to eat soup with a fork. Twenty-one 'AG DI 1926!
