Claw Prophecy Twelve years they waited for the day to come, When report cards would come out and say you're done, They thought they'd be happy, but it isn't any fun, To be so far away when you don't know anyone Another twelve years are done, But where is that dear Class of '5l9 I spend my evenings in the twilight of my room, And Now The And And ponder over the days, as I sit there in the gloom the sun is sinking in the golden West, birds, and bees, and children have all gone to rest, I just sit here thinking of the Class of '51, wonder what they're doing to night and what they've done It seems as if I see them in their daily walk of life, I can see Dennis Thompson now as he's walking with his wife He tells her how he loves her and from her he would never part If she would only cling to him, for she has won his heart I see in my vision or rather a dream, Billy Smiley who is coaching a basketball team He is a fine fellow with plenty of vim, And I prophesy indeed a bright future fdr him Another face pictures itself in my mind, It is Ruth Parker, so I find, She has a dress shop on 42nd Street, Her costumes from Paris are attractive and neat Next I see Martha Israel as she came, She Her And Now lho who And edits a newspaper of far reaching fame editorials are praised by the rich and the poor, by the learned men of letters the whole country o'er the face of Ray Beagle, a civil engineer, has made a lot of money and made a great career, rides in special trains, and problems with great men does discuss, just to think, once he was in school was in school with us Into the picture comes Phyllis Galbraith, with a will and a way, She would have made for herself a great name someday, But along came a Romeo, who took away her fame, And so the papers say, nMr and Irs is the name 'Tis strange how lives are changed and turned, When Rita Smith met him, she met him unconcerned, But he convinced her then and there that love surpassed fame, And never a light on Broadway Square has advertised her name I next see Nita Wullenweber in the line, She is busy in school as she has been all the time, And now she is a stenographer for the firm of Brown and Ree I remember in school days in typing she worked for speed Next came a vision of our dark haired Carol Rumsey, She fall fxra dashing youth who wasn't clumsy, And she could not withstand love's sweet pleading face, So now she has a home in a quiet country place After they had all vanished, I awakened and was quite famished, Slowly I went to the window and there, I gazed into the night so wonderfully fair 9 fv o .
