THE YfcLLOWJACKET 1923 CLASS PROPHECY By GLADYS LEW IN Ten years had passed o’er gently, Ten years since eommeneement day. Years filled with joys and sorrows Filled with study, work and play. I then told of news hack home, Of the success of classmates there. Of the I). II. S. we loved so well. And the town to us so fair. I. too, ha l had my play time, My disappointment on life’s way. When lo, a lost legacy was found. That brought me wealth one day. Tin thing for which I’d always wished, Out never Imped to do. Was, take a trip around the world, To see things, old and new. In St. Louis I walked along. I’ast a shop very smart and fine. On going in to see a Gown, 1 discovered a Classmate of mine. On the staff of the famous Vogue. Is our dear friend Catherine Knaur. Her word is law on hats and gowns, She is busy every hour. We chatted and talked as women do. Of our dear old classmates of old, She related some very interesting facts, And to you they will now be told. She said the Oiarraputo Sisters Were a wonderful dancing pair, Their act was entirely their own. And none their laurels could share. And Bmest Fleming, one of our class. Is a professor at A. and M. With College Teachers and Students too, He’s most popular of all the men. And at iv recent contest for beauty. Alma Geiscnhoncr led the list, We agree with the judges’ verdict. In choosing Alma they couldn’t have missed. For ypu know in the Denison High Lenorc Hanks stands at it’s head. She was always fine in the Math Class. And now she’s a wonder, it’s said. Jewel Mason, I said, was teaching. She was principal of Peabody School, Out where Miss Pil'd trained thctr fathers. To be good and obey every rule. Frank Johnson is in the Navy, lie sails the sea so deep and blue. He’s brave and very gallant, And he’s the Ship’s Officer too. Harold Douglas was the first to wed, Of the boys of Class ’23, He has a home in Galveston, And in his yacht sails out to Sea. Stephen Bruno is a great coach. In our Class we thot him a star. His fame has spread thru’out the state. He is known both near and far. She knew Gov. Chas. Hill of Texas Had vetoed a very great hill. But nobody dared to comment. For not one opposes his will. But soon our time was flying. And then we had to part. 1 gathered my baggage together, For the clock said time to start. Arriving in Chicago, 1 found the town gone mad Over a Mystic Oriental Who could tell of friends one had had. Twenty-Five

THE YELLOWJACKET R 1 found him very skillful To answer whatever I’d ask,. He could show what each was doing And how great or how small his task. At oncy 1 saw a glittering sign And Kennedy and Reed was the name, Rtfssell is a rich lawyer now And Oscar, his partner, the same. And “Betty” Suggs I saw also, She is now a governor’s aide, She is sought very much by political men, Because great success she has made. Mildred Beveritt we found was teaching In a school not far away, The people say that she is fine That her classes grow better each day, Charlsye Bulloch seemed quite a success I’.lit more in a different way. She is gay and popular at social affairs, And is sought for all the day. Another is Eleanor Calvert I see, Who is winning many a heart. She’s a Follies Girl on old Broadway, With costumes exceedingly smart. Thcry next appeared our Classmate Spec, The Famous Architect Dean, Whose houses you have heard about. But which you have never seen. My travel took me to Washington Where lived many from our own state. My hopes were fairly soaring 1 knew I’d find there a Classmate. For our successful Murrin Clark Holds there a position high, People whisper when he passes That he’ll be president by and by. Alexander Gullet, a senator, Whose ambition is very great; The Senate thrills and listens To this orator from our state. Anna Bay is a noted chemist In the Nation’s Capital I see She’s working for the Government And as rich as she can be. Of course, we all know the name Baker Whose aii-ship is great to behold; It was made and perfected last autumn. By Baurenco, a Classmate of old. .If pU go to the Washington Bibrary, .Mae Brown is there, don’t you know: She’s efficient and ready to help you. Any book you desire she can show. In New York were many more Classmates, About whom I delight now to tell; They seemed contented and happy. And each one was doing quite well. First, Buta Andress, a girl so dear. Is a bride of a month ago; Her husband is a king of finance. So she’s rich and happy we know. Robert Tinsman is an explorer. And he travels the billowing waves; Strange lands and countries he sees quite oft, And his famous trophies he saves. At New York in a school for young ladies, Robbie Brown and Onice Cook too. Are giving the girls high training. And teaching them just what to do. Hazel Williams has a school for boys, They truly cause her some pain. But after all she doesn’t mind. For much money she can thus gain. Ora Hardeman has settled down In a quiet way you know; Her husband is a financier, They live in Millionaire Row. Elmer Maples, an aviator, Makes flying trips the whole world o’er. He is well known for his great skill, And a favorite in the Corps. Twentv-Six
