Luther Curtner, smallest of all, Will be a teacher of basketball Until he marries, then for him Life will be one continual din. Berenice Rogers with rosy cheeks, Has no use for tall .young “Geeks;” Uses her knowledge on many a score, A beauty doctor in a store. Howard Cunningham of musical fame, W ants to fly in an aeroplane. Let your ideals be so high They help your airship reach the sky. Cora Warden, of saintly mien. Out late at night is never seen; In this world of trouble and strife, Her highest aim—a preacher’s wife. A brown-eyed girl, Lauretta Hale, Large in mind, in body frail; In life she has a purpose rare To comb sis kiddies’ golden hair. Picture a youth with sandy hair. Freckled face and dimples rare; He is generally called Hunt Hix Hart, Now a victim of Cupid’s dart. Black hair, rosy cheeks and flirty eyes, The latest Senior at Caruthersville High; Joe Michell will never teach a school. His stock in trade, Missouri mule. In closing, simply let us state. We hope you like your future fate; If we have not foretold aright. Try to change with all your might. —M. G. JR otto: Aim Ever at the Best Colors: Nile Green and Old Rose jflouicr: Sweet Pea -21-

 Class Prophecy Here’s to the class of Seventeen (Based on things we’ve seen;) A few words to prophesy, Things .you’ll do bye and bye. Sylvia Stancil, a poetry “shark,” Always ready for a lark; Her ideals do not reach far, A brown-stone front and a touring car. Pauline Wolfson, a damsel fair, The lass with a wealth of curly hair, Her ambition—who can tell— We think she’ll be a society belle. Mildred Warden, silent and deep Is quite a walker in her sleep; She will teach for four years more Then stop, ’cause teaching is a bore. Gladys Nichols is quite a sage, Young for her looks, in spite of her age; She will live by keeping books, And be the very best of cooks. Paris Cunningham, we can say, Far from home he soon will stray. In some far town he'll make his stack. Then pay his bdls with yellow-backs. Emma Shepard, stately and tall, Her fond hope: to make some man fall For her yellow hair and grey-blue eyes. Those winning smiles and clever lies. Roy Farrow, that bold, bad lad, Around his eyes he looks so sad. He has prospects by the score To be chief clerk in a grocery store. Picture a head of auburn hair, Edna Cunningham so debonair; She will have such stylish clothes. Never will be passed by a beau. —20—
