It was early in the autumn, As the leaves were coming down, Showing off their gorgeous color Of scarlet, orange, and brown. The summer months had vanished And the air was crisp and cool, Which reflected fondest memories, Of the days I spent in school. II. I was seated by the fire side, In a downy cushioned chair, Thinking of those dear old classmates And it seemed I had them there. I was thinking of our follies And a certain golden rule That we honored, loved and cherished When we were back in school. III. The blended rays of evening Had faded in the West, The birds had ceased their singing nnnnonnuunouo ooo oo 3333 Page Sixteen Class Prophecy By ZELMA ECKER And gone to a land of rest. The gloaming stole upon me, The stars began to peep, My brain grew tired and weary And I soon fell fast asleep. IV. The gates to dreamland opened And I worked my weary way, Up a steep and rocky incline, Over mountains, hill and bay, Through forest, marsh, and valley, Through glen, of chill and gloom, At last I found a garden, where The flowers were in full bloom. ' v Down the garden paths I wandered Toward an ivy mottled wall, W When to my astonishment, I heard a gentle call. I looked about bewildered And again my wonder grew When I heard the same, soft voice say, We've been waiting long for you. VI. Slowly, the great wall opened, VVhat a sight did I behold, Twas of undescribeable splendor, It was new, yet quaint and old. The gate man was a brawny man With an air of surliness, Who told me of the city, 'Twas the city of Success. VII. He spoke with proud distinctness, Of the Honorable Mr. Stoller, Who, as mayor of the city, Had proclaimed himself the ruler. He began to reel off history Of some dizzy xylographer When, his speech was interrupted By my old friend, Mary Snyder. VIII. We left him with his chatter For our hearts were full of glee, As we talked of those old school days
