THE PI E BIKR Page twenty-five Clas!£i ropfjecp The Prophet now takes up his pen To write of things within his Icen, And lift the curtain, now and then, On B. C. A. friends who are women and men. Harrington and Ives we found out then Are bringing to God their fellow men. And trying to show them day by day That He is the Life, the Truth, and the Way. So these few lines he hopes will show The destinies of those we know, Who journeyed thro ' this vale of woe In the Class of ' 12, as named below. Down at Fair Bluff, the strawberry land, Batson and Rogers have taken their stand. And won for themselves and their coun- try fair Prosperity and thrift and money to spare. A famous journalist is Robert F. Pace, He meets the world with an honest face; And living now with his better half, From morning till night sounds his happy laugh. Cole and Creech are practicing law — The greatest fellows you most ever saw, — While Clyde and Rollo, please take note. Are titled il.D. ' s, both in the same boat. New Jersey ' s business in imported silk Is largely due to Loudermilk. While Ruby Shields and Beulah T. Are faithful in work of charity. The Thoniasville Orphanage called friend Joe As General Manager to make the busi- ness go. While Humphrey in his Southern State Wields an influence far and great. Bessie Campbell and May .McKay In the world of music found their great joy. And since the year of ' 12. when they left here, They have entered upon a brilliant career. Annie Snoddy and Beulah J. Are teaching school in the good old way; While Lizzie Lynk and Cornelia Lanier Are living old maids — that is, so I hear. The prophet here pauses to get a new start. For he finds it is hard to do well his part, And in every circumstance tell the truth Concerning the future of B. C. A. ' s youth. Next comes Durema, slender and tall. Teaching to her is no trouble at all; And Ada Welch is a pedagogue trim. Who goes at her work with a vigor and vim. Stevens and Pope have joined the band Of those preaching Christ throughout the land. While Ingram and Mangum do the same In striving their best to His message pro- claim. Currie and Story and Ysalgue Are dentists of note, we ' ve heard some one say ; While Sutton of Latin is a master, And few can translate the sentences faster.

Page ticenty-sii THE PINE BURR In a foreign land across the sea, Faithfully serving, is Callie D., While J. G. Booe, on the same purpose bent, A medical missionary from here was sent. V. H. Harrell somewhere in life Is doing well (with the aid of a wife). Strickland and White and Sam, with the rest Among the famous, are doing their best. Among the Pages here and there Two you will find with ability rare- Bessie and Lela, with modest grace Each filling an honored teacher ' s place. Just let me mention, before I forget. That Nellie Driver is living yet; Indeed, we would say just on the side, That it ' s rumored she ' s soon to be a bride. U. Russell Perry is growing gray In a State high school that gives good pay. And though students differ, at the best, He teaches them all faciendum est. Of Jessie Butler we only can tell That wherever she is, her part is done well. We ' ve found out that Lina and Louise K. Both married and happy are not far away. Bazemore, in some way, has gone from our sight. Nor can we tell just what is his plight. Bell and Fales are in business together — A dentist is one, a druggist the other. Furney and Dickie have drifted from view. But still we ' re told that they ' re prosper- ous, too. And among life ' s throng, in word and deed. Are faithfully, earnestly, sowing the seed. Victoria and Elva, like England ' s queen. Are ever in deeds of kindness seen. Last, but not least, is a lovable girl. Who is still, as ever, a lustrous Pearl. And now the prophet ' s task is o ' er. He hopes to ne ' er be called on more. Class Prophet. ' Twas night, and Bess and Kitty Joe Were dozing ' fore the blaze. Said Bess, arousing all at once And lookin ' all amaze: Oh, pshaw! I ' ve had a dream, dear Joe. ' Twas ' bout the Senior folks — I thought the boys were digging stumps. And the girls were counting tlie strokes.
