Class Poem Away back here and out of sight I'1l try to make this rhyme sound right. lt won't sound quite like Shakespear's plays But it will remind us of our days. I will introduce them one and all Including the short and the tall. We thought for a while there were only eleven But now there are twelve of '47 . Ralph Ashcraft, the first in line ln the Junior play as Mose did fine. In Chemistry he does real well If he doesn't blow the place to I-I--. Alma Bergman is next in line. You'1l find her laughing all the time In the hospital she foigot to write us, When she was there for appendicitis. Verlin Craig-mighty but small. On the basketoull tloor lio's on the ball! ln baseball hc is really swell. He makes thc- crowd stand up and yell. A six foot two lad comes along A handsome- guy and awfully strong. Marion Logan we're talking about, Teases the girls and makes them shout. Gerald Dickson is a quiet sort. In studies he's an excellent sport He is sturdiiv built and quite an Atlielete And never sais, I quit. when we get beat. Norman Tullis who is quite an artist In other subjects almostsmartestf He tries hard to get his cnemistry. Studies about atoms, one can't even see.

Class Prophecy No one knows what the future beholds, so we'll make a wild guess, without intentions of seriousness. Ralph Ashcraft, the great student chemist, known as Haskal Atom to public, discovered a new ray machine. In this machine, one can look into the future. We, the class of Forty Seven, were very anxious to see into the future, so Haskal turned the dial to ten years. As the machine moaned and the fog disappeared, we stood in a daze and then we could see the year of 1957 just as clear as if we were there. The nation's television sets were going to feature a great program. The President of the U. S. was to make a speech. The president walked down the aisle of a great building of beautiful design 3 beside him walked a hugh sturdy man. As the president came closer, we noticed the president was none other than James Monroe. The crowd was roaring, Monroe reigns again I Also we were shocked to find that the president's body guard was Gerald Dickson! The machine quickly changed to the wide open plains when Joan Myers sought her future. She owned a ranch and over a hundred horses. Riding down the trail came none other than Doc Craig. He was riding an animal which was part horse and part cow. He was raising these animals in great quanities with the information he had gained from Wayne Haffner's Ag. class. Glen and Keith desired to see their future. They were sitting in an office buiiding on the 199th floor in New York City. They had been in the automobile business but now were building rocket ships. They made two models, the T heurer Clipper and the Stein Streamer! They had taken four trips to the moon and found it quite livable there and planned to move there the next year. Marion Logan turned the dial and gazed into the machine. There was a great brick house and in front of it was a sign which read, The Friendly Undertaker. Inside the house, he was preparing a corpse. He had chang- ed physically. He was a little chubby and walked with a limp. He seemed to enjoy his work and had a fine establishment. The machine went into a fog and then cleared to find Alma Bergman posing as Norman Tullis painted her picture. Alma's face was on all popular magazines. Norman had painted her picture many times along with many motion picture and television stars.
