Glau ff In the crystal ball I look to see Where ten years hence this class will be, What will happen to hopes and dreams- The lovers, scholars and school-day teams. A mumbo jumbo glumbo frumg Look closely now, for here they come. Ah, now who can this be coming near, With face and hearing of an engineer, It's-yes, Robert Cartwright hammering away On the bridges which he said he'd build some dayg And out of the mist Jack Zeitler strolls, But the mist conceals its mystic scrolls, It covers his career, so I must stopg I can only see that he's in Ridgetop. Fred Carnahan is the next to appearg On his arm Ann Lankford l see quite clear. We all believed this would happen some day. Ah, yes, but now they have turned away. Buck and Helen now come into view, Still having fun like they used to do. New York City then looms before me, And suddenly I am able to see Evelyn Ralph in a high sky scraper, Surrounded by books and iles and paper, She's bookkeeper for a large company, Happy, successful and fair is she. Evelyn Bowling is also working there As stenographer to Mr. Re Vaire. Her life is interesting, stylish and gay, With lots of work and lots of play. In a smart dress shoppe on Fifth Avenue, Miss Dorris Sanders decides the line and hue That Madam will wear this Spring and Fall, For her authority is respected by all. Liz and Lady in the old home town still, Sit chatting about happ'nings in Goodlettsville, Liz's son wants to go to college out West, And Lady's daughter has just won a beauty contest. Vida is coaching Goodlettsville girls this year, And Senior English is taught by Miss Greer, Yes, and her engagement was announced today, He's very handsome and very rich, so they say. Burney Bond has invented a new gadget Which makes learning stick in one's head like , magic. Alice Courtenay moved into her new home last weekg lt's furnished beautifully-all in teake. Ah, but there's Lady rising to go, So I guess we just as well beat it also. The next scene which flashes on the crystal ball Shows just exactly what has happened to Paul. He paces the floor with paternal pride and charm, With a small pink blanket draped on his arm. KP. S.-It must be after midnightj And here's Sue Curtis dressed all in white Helping humanity day and night, ' As head nurse in a famous clinic, Cheerfully relieving pain and panic. Mary Miller too is a graduate nurse, Some patients she cures, but she makes none worse. Lecturing in schools the country o'er Is Mildred Midgett teaching facts galore. I. B. Troutt, a man of wealth and zest, Has made gobs of money in oil out West. Into Hollywood my nosy crystal goes To spy upon classmates here disposed. Mary Ellen, best stylist in town, Decides how to ornament one s crown. A style commentator is Margaret Porter Wood, Telling what you shouldn't wear and stressing what you should. Temesia Dilleha is a famous singin star, Thrilling millions of fans near and far. Praised ever is the beauty of Dorothy Dean, Whose pictures make the covers of modern magazines. The crystal leaves Hollywood far behind. I wonder what others it will find. It flashes inside a transport plane, And reveals Goodlettsville's Torchy Blaneg It's Dorothy Kemper of the New York Star Reporting murders, politics and war. And on this very same plane is posted Birdie Thomas, a cute little hostess. Many miles away from these two classmates, Other members of our class and their lives await. There's Evelyn Joyner happily teaching school, Teaching readin' and ritin' and the golden rules. On experiment farms the country o'er, Mr. Crowe's class is represented by four. There's Douglas and Albert, Bob and lack, Making plants yield more and land less slac. Joe Langford is playing professional baseball, And Ed Dunn will coach football again this Fall. Ruth Bowling is a competent secretary, And Cecil works in the Congressional Library. A private secretary is Norma Pughg Yes, and Doris Ferguson is one too. Annie Cartwright's a milliner in gay Pareeg Jane Anderson is married and a mother of three. Ernest Clarke, an instructor in an aircraft school, Is informed on the use of print and tool. He teaches men to make motors for aeroplanes Which'crowd the modern American air lanes. Mr. Tune and .Victor Ellis are in the army now: Ann Rawls is an army nurse-and how! Mr. Tune looks sick, tired and pale, Carft somebody get him out on bail. Thus has been revealed by my crystal ball The lives and fortunes of one and all. Of our dear classmates in the years to be, Is it a true revelation? We'll wait and see. -jean Russell. Page T-wenty-one
