With instant swiftness, what the names may be Of these poor innocents who have been taught As members of the class of Naughty- Naught. Then said the blue jay, Maiden, would you know Which one of us can heal your mortal woe? In yonder hollow tree trunk you can trace A dim and shadowy figure, and a face Heavy with sleep. The centuries gone by And all the years that in the future lie Can hold no secrets from this sage old bird; Him we ' ll awake, his verdict shall be heard. We neared the old owl ' s twilight shelter dim, With summons shrill the blue jay wakened him Out of his slumber. Now the heralds came, And as each tiny bird pronounced a name, Deep from the tree trunk e ' en my mortal ear The hollow voice of prophecy could hear, Telling what future fate should come to pass To every member of the dear old class. To-whit, to-whoo! In wonderment I heard The solemn voice of this prophetic bird ; To-whit, to-whoo! Give me but time for thought And I ' ll supply the information sought. JAMES FOZARD This youth, whose name is dear to every heart, Will take in life a brave and noble part. Before his touch fly every pain and ache; He will a rich and kindly doctor make. LESLIE DOBBINS A well-known judge, in legal lore profound, In future years this schoolmate shall be found; His fame for equity and wisdom be Worthy example to posterity. AMY MOTT Her helpful life humanity shall bless, She ' ll wear the simple garb of deaconess. SEYMOUR HALL Although he ' s said the ladies to adore, This dapper youth shall be a bachelor, Live in a club, with no home of his own, And die a multi-millionaire, alone. 2 7
