THE SCHOOL SPEAKS I’m the school called B. B. I. The tales I’m telling cannot lie. In the fall of ’46 Came the ’48 graduates. Yes, they came by two’s and three’s, And started working like busy bees. Jobs were sought out here and there. A wonderful feeling was in the air. Many classes in Room 303 Bring back fondest memories. One Haas is remembered especially, With Mr. Barram in Theology. Another teacher was by all adored. He never could stand with two feet on the floor. Chapel, too, was a wonderful place With spirit-filled meetings time cannot erase. There was also a man so small and round Who in funny remarks did always abound. The reception for new students came in October. The teachers found tire judge very sober. I remember the day not long ago When exam time came, and they studied so. All through the years Christ’s Spirit prevailed, lie never forgot them — He never failed! I heard the graduates say as they left, ‘‘His bidding I’ll do, and give Him my best!” Yes, I’m the school called B. B. I. These tales I’m telling cannot lie. —It H.

PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '48 We. the class of ’48, do prophesy the following events for the future years: Ten years from now the various students of ’48 will be in distant lands telling others about the saving grace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Our beloved instructors will still be teaching, and perhaps Mr. Pardee will still be making his occasional visits to ibe drug store across the street. Mr. tjuincer surely will have a new stand to lean on by that time, and maybe some rich student will have purchased him a hat with ear-flappers. Miss Knol will have added gray hairs from worries put upon her by the girls of Van Osdel Hall. Fifty years from now Anita Zabel will still look like sweet sixteen, and maybe Donna Harris will have cast into the winds her ten good reasons for not getting married. Within ten years Maxine Dunithan will be the wife of the famous Reverend George Goss. Carolyn Anderson and her husband-to-be, Harold Knickerbocker, will be missionaries in China. Mildred Henke will be trying to reduce her cooking to three or four instead of thirty or more. Maxine Miller will he playing a pipe organ in a great church in New York City. Wilma Dean and Mary Zegelicn will be working diligently with children in the hills of Kentucky. Nelladele Henke will probably be in some distant land across the sea, but not alone. Muriel Cappon will be working, not only with other people’s children, but also her own. Alice Champion will be somewhere laboring in God’s vineyard. Cur class president, Louis Ames, will have great aims for Elizabeth Ann. So ends the prophecy of the Class of ’48. If our detailed predictions fail to come true, we know the graduates will be somewhere in the service of the Lord. Maxine Miller Thirty
