FUTURE OF THE JUNIORS I had been abroad for four years With a most trying patient of mine And I was feeling very weary But my patient was Ieeling tine. She talked of ruins and castles, Of rivers, animals and birds Until I thot I'd really go wild At her never ceasing words. I was dreaming of dear old Iowa And like a dreamer I must have seemed But on the Wiedric steamer I dreamed the best dreams ever dreamed. I dreamed about my old home About my friends so dear When I saw to my infinite pleasure A familiar form appear. I looked at the head and shoulders For 'twas only a back view I had But with that I was firmly convinced Could be none other than an Iowa lad. 6-13 Yes indeed it was. How good! But whom do you suppose it to be? I'm sure you'll be surprised For it was no one but Horace V. He had gone to London, he said, On business for the New York Sun He had been with them for some time And he was truly the chosen one. To go on very important business, And manage their stupendeous affairs. However, it didn't effect his head For I didn't notice that he put on airs. But during our trip he told me many thin About our dear old class, And, truly, I was most amazed To think what Colne to pass.

Mabel NlcBroom--- U Nlabel is rewarded for her industry by her grades. Nice girl. Grace Koobs--- To Grace we bestow the oliice of vice-presidentf lt would be superfluous to say that she is entirely worthy of this office no matter how mighty it might seem to be Vice-president of the class of 'ro. Arvilla Morrison-H One of Arvilla's greatest ambitions has been, for some time, Artist for the Junior annuals of G. C. Her friends were alarmed fora SHORT time upon hearing that Arvilla had decided to abandon Art, but now she has seen the value of it and has 'decided to study Art for Arts sake. Horace Vasey- - Little, but Oh my! What would we Juniors do without Horace. I don't see how we could have had this annual without his aid. He has large business abilities. Russell Gray--- Russell is one of our good Iookersf' He loves to get into long arguments with his teachers which can never be untangled. However, he is not altogether a bluffer. We are surely glad to have Russell in our class.

Of the Big Four road from east. Congratulations to Thearl on his success in life But heartier praise is due him ln his selection of a wife. Now whom do you think, Ably Hlls that place? Why sure you know her! Yes really, lt is OUR Grace. Residing with them ln their New York home ls another of our girls , Who is now all alone. Arvilla had married But alas! 'twas to Art And now they are living Far, far apart. Florence, Mabel and Opal Dispisers of boys you know, Tho't they'd show us a thing or two So let their chances go. After years of lonely living Each independent little lass. Thot, why be so lonely? And returned to our illustrious class. Not exactly to the class, I mean But to the friends of yore. Nlable went to Mooty's As Wesley had wanted long before. Florence went to Doc. Just as l told you 'twould be, And this left Opal ' The last of the three All by herself in this cold, hard world. Then she, sensible maid that she always had been, Tried with her eyes A gallant man to win. . Of course she was successful, Oh! yes, you just bet! And now in her man Does the sun raise and set. As we were talking about Opal, ' The great whistle blew So out on deck we hastened For fair Liberty was in view. Not a word did we say As we gazed at her there For our tho'ts were all of America OUR country so wonderous fair! But we felt that she held out her arms ln welcome to our native shore
