CLASS PROPHECY 4- f-------'--- -1- 'Twas dark. The thunder rumbled deep and loud. The sky grew inky black with cloud on cloud. A Hash of lightning-then a horrid gleam! All ghosts and witches gave a shuddering scream. But soon the darkness faded-then came light. T We saw below a most stupendous sight! Old Cincinnati! My but we are glad! But 'stead of '20, the year is '40 now, by dad! We walk along and mingle with the crowd, And who should come along but Bob O'Dowd, A business man who's piling up the cash. He learned it getting ads for '20's class. Along come two all diked up in their best, Selby and Scorah! Dudes from spats to vest. Sal Meakin in a Packard draws all eyes, A famous actress whom we recognize. Off in the distance walks a stately creatureg 'Tis H. Lynne Barber dressed just like a preacher. With him there's Clark, who is with soot besmirched, For he's head janitor at Parson Barber's church. Lee Price and Mary Harper, suffrage speakers, Have gathered quite a crowd of trouble seekers. A speedster driving, Scheiffele comes-but stop! He's halted there by Theis, a traffic cop. Howard Herrlinger owns a thriving store It's great and high-we go through floor by floor. There Kreidler and Ben Evans pile up dollars For only demonstrating Arrow Collars. And in the French Room, Madam Fordyce, Modiste, Tries on Mildred Hurt, French gowns-35300 at least Ireton and Irwin 'neath some gay festoons Blow up for kids some bright red toy balloons. Here comes an errand boy with a big book, We look and find that it is Bill Lashbrook. In the hardware section Claraellen Lowe Displays to farmers a new kind of plow. And selling dye 'tis guaranteed 'twon't fade, All crowded round with buyers is Erma Kincaid. And at the-bargain counter a girl in a faint Who's overjoyed at bargains-Claire Le Saint. A nurse runs up, the patient to revive, It's Kitty Aiken, well my sakes alive! l146l

We leave the store and as we walk along, We come upon a much excited throng. Miss Koerdel and Miss Krippendorf-police4 Arrest a man for carrying forbidden fruit in his valisc Our feet then hasten where our thoughts do lead. We go to Hotel Sinton for our feed. A tall bell-boy our quick approach perceives. So he comes runnin' and its Byron Greaves, Who in his uniform indeed looks cute Because it is a most tight fitting suit. Gathered round at tables here and there We see folks that are noted everywhere. At highbrow lectures Fehl's in great demandg He used words too big to understand. Close by How Hebble flaunts a roll of bills. This lawyer gets it making people's wills. A great convention's being held in town, Of all professors who have gained renown, M. Kuntz and Charles Clauss and J. Kincaid, They're dignified and stately, stern and staid. The honorable Darragh, our old friend Vchome, He's now Italian ambassador, just back from Rome. A famous chemist there does sit-'tis Saunders, Who o'er his latest research deeply ponders. Now who should come along but Steve O'Neill. With his silk hat he's some great man we feel. A girl from out the cashier's cage does peer. She takes in cash, it's Manjonita Grear. We go and see the manager John Rose. He takes us through the place to see just how it goes. The Main French UD chef, oh, my! but he is huffy! Behold, but oh, how changed-it's Eugene Duffy. We leave the place. A buzz we hear o'erhead. Down flies Ruth Zinzer in a Ford airplane bed. Two banner bearers, Misses Melton and Mullinix, Head a band of fair strike breakers, up to bricks. Leaving other ears way in the lurch, She speeds by in a cloud of dust-Frances Burch. Here's coming with a pile of books Fred Ellis, A teacher at a business school, she tells us. Driving by in an old fashioned surrey, She's now become a farmerls wife-Ruth Clurrey. And in a hair store sits Mil Fennekohl. She makes for folks the latest kind of roll. In a branch library checking books, ls Katherine Gardiner who's not changed in looks. ll471
