Class Prophesy As I sit by the fire in my far Northern home Where love and obey took me years, years agone, My thoughts seem to wander to the year nineteen-ten, And the chums of my school days-now women and men. And in fancy I see them, not then, but today, Each plodding along in his or her way. x-Q. There's Damon, old boy, just the same as of yore, But he's grown, O so wise in cow-college lore. He lectures on tests and Jersey bovines, He's the great science man in all rural scenes, V He travels about in a big aeroplane . The envy of each and every old swain. al .31 N yn W if 32: l f A? ff lit , 57 f Mi' i Y- I 'Q f JH -Mg' lx .tr W jfn' JN YY X I 1 W- . .4 a fig V f ' Q If R 'wi V fy- K., :PN -1.6.3 KT' J ' IPX A 'I 5:-..eiI -':?1 xf,i,, ' - 'Q' N V : Y, .ai??imr- ulvwwic, tx W ll . I I see the home village, once quiet, sedate, A city of millionsg 'twas made wondrous great By bridges and railroads and oil good and bad, While Millie, a spinster, here follows her fad Of teaching and helping the heathen Chinee - Ah! a crown she will wear through eternity.

It is, sure it is, our dear Anna May, A society pet in the high upper ten- Around her there's gathered a dozen rich meng But she spurns all their gold, for sure it will fadeg So goes back to the farm to die an old maid.

ledge. In this year we organized our class, electing Claire Monroe as Presidentg Anna May Kelley, Vice Presidentg Lizzie Boynton, Secretary and Treasurerg and Annie Andreason, Sergeant-at-Arms. VVe also chose our colors, cardinal and gold, and as a class flower, the American Beauty rose. Our motto became Lest we forget-lest we forget. Then did we send for our class pins, which arriving filled our hearts with joy for now 'we could proclaim to all who saw them, We belong to the class of nineteen ten. One day in May we busied ourselves and gave the Seniors and Faculty a Progressive Dinner and a right good time did we have. Our editorial staff for the Tomahawk of 1910 was chosen as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Claire Monroeg Business Manager, Arthur Giacominig Literary Editor, Rose Scottg Art, Lizzie Boynton: Society and Assistant Art, Anna May Kelleyg Joshes, Mildred Smithg Athletics, Otto Harbersg School Notes, Alumni, and Exchanges, Annie Andreason. The closing event of this, our junior year, was a reception and dance given in honor of the graduates. When we gathered in the High School for our final year who should joyfully greet us but Miss Falk, come back to us again, for this year our Faculty was increased to four in number. Miss Smith had left us and we made the acquaintance of Miss Bell our new English and Latin teacher. We were sorry to find that Annie Andreason had also left us to attend school in Berkeley. We remained only seven in number. Annie's place as Sergeant-at-Arms was filled by Arthur Giacomini, otherwise our class offi- cers were the same except that to Mildred Smith was given the duty of Treasurer. On the editorial stafi, Sumner Damon filled Annie Andreason's place. The duties of the year were interspersed with several class gatherings which gave us much pleasure. The members of our class have taken active part in all student affairs and from our ranks have come several Student Body officers. And now having completed our work in the Ferndale High School we go out to win honors for the class of nineteen ten. ' M. S., '10. ,f ,y as iffy , of PAGE THIRTEEN

PAGE Oh yes, and there's Lizzie whose mind was so calm, I To her aged cranky husband, she's Gil- ead's balm. Her home's in a mansion of stone gray and old, For her ancient old lord has a fortune of gold. She plays the long day on her Hue baby grand With a sigh in her heart for the old homeland.

But now, as I see her, she's risen to fame, For her thesis on maths has honored her name. FIFTEEN . Y 4 N -.
