Page Ten THE BLUE AND GOLD Class II When thru the years to come. We’re far from Conshy High We’ll pause on the pathway Of life to cast a sigh For the Mem’ries past And for our high school days. These thoughts will we all adore Tho, we’ve parted at the ways. Ill To you. Oh Conshy High, We pledge ourselves in song. And we’ll remember you ith a faith that's true and strong, As on all these happy days We leave our minds to dwell. We must say good-bye to you. And we bid you all—farewell. I We entered here as Freshman As green as we could be Of all the ways and customs And of each thing we’d see. Four years have passed by Years of work and play And we turn our thoughts again To the joys of yesterday. Rose DeHaven ’27 cProphecy The evening was quite warm and I wandered about in my shirt sleeves I, had nothing in particular to do and a.l the time in the world to do it so I decided to go to the circus. Arriving at the circus I glanced in at the ticket office and saw a sign. “Man Wanted.”— “Mr. Harnum I want that job,” I said, “What do I do? “My boy you are just in time, here sit in that chair.” At that moment a curtain went up in front of me and a harsh voice called out to the waiting throngs. Ladies and the weaker sex, steo right up for the free exhibition of Professor Ghoofie.

He made a few passes and muttered a strange prayer over me, then suddenly my head whirled and buzzed and I felt light and airy. What was this? I was floating and was rapidly increasing mv velocity until I was l.terally flying. How long I flew I do not know but before I could realize it I had been dropped before the gates of a large city. I knocked at the gates and my call was answered by a dissipated looking man who clutched nervously at the neck of a bottle. I entered and was going to thank him when I saw that it was an old friend of mine, David Johnstone. Why Dave, I cried, how did you get to be in this cond’tion?” “Its the same old story”, he said, “Wine, women and song , and before I could speak he took another drink and ran away. I looked after him speechless, but I did not have a chance to tarry for I heard two voices cry simultaneously, “Taxi, sir? I turned and there stood Milton Jacobson and William Jennings, each driving rival taxis. They both tugged at me to ride with them till Milt saw a lady walking to him. he dropped me and took the woman, even in his school days Milt preferred to take a girl for a ride. I asked Bill who the beautiful ladv was. “That’s Elizabeth Wallace,” said Bill. “She is a star in the new musical comedy hit, “A High Old Time.” At I stepped into the car I mentally decided to see the show. I was growing conscious of a cavity in the region a little below my heart
