Prophecy Traveling alone through the “Isles of Neverwas”, Pondering and searching for new story materials, I came upon a statue, huge in dimensions, Standing up near a cave in the mountains. A tablet of stone lay immovable beside it, And I paused a moment to decipher the writing So painstakingly scratched in the hard surface. 1 started unbelieving at what I beheld. Roger Bennett has achieved greatness; He's a modern dairy man. Netty Dyke is his assistant; And she helps him all she can. Grant Carpenter works very hard. His life is full of strife, As he struggles in a factory To support his dainty wife. Keith Busman teaches history In a little southern town. 1 le’s a shiek among the ladies, And they flock from miles around. Nellie Kaufman is the owner Of the “Snappy Beauty Shoppe. She keeps Jenniemae and Florence Always on the hop. Jeannette Kraai is growing stouter For she hasn’t much to do; She merely issues orders of 1 low to bake and fry and stew. Jessie King teaches kindergarten Up at the Double Bends. Earl Grunwell always loved her So that school he now attends. Page Twenty-SiX

nearing the pinnacle of our hopes, and we felt it. A competent corps of ollicers was elected. Henry Derks was chosen President; Jeannette Kraai, Vice-President; Frank Brown, Secretary and El- vin Shook, Treasurer. We were well represented in athletics all through our high school days. We are proud to claim stars on both the basket ball and foot ball teams. When the declamation contest was started, we carried away high honors. We took an active part in the Debating Society, Glee Club work and Camp Fire organizations. At a class meeting we decided upon purple and gold for col- ors, lily-of-the-valley for our flower and “Onward, Upward, ’Till the Goal We Win as our motto. The Senior play, “Peg ’O My Heart,” was a grand success, with Neva starring as “Peg.” The Annual Staff, having been elected earlier in the year, work on the annual began in earnest in March. The history is soon told. As the end draws near we realize that we are but one wave on the seashore of school life. We come rolling in, greater and more magnificent than our predecessors. We enjoy a brief moment of exalted power, only to be dashed on the rocks, but our place is soon filled with another wave of perhaps greater magnitude, and our high position is but a memory to be treasured for the remain- der of our lease on life. We can consider the four years we have spent in high school as having been successful; and yet it is with regret that we lay down our books and take up our diplomas to start in the greater battles of life.
