And found a fairy, whose dress Was caught upon a brier so she could not get away. And when I had freed this fairy sprite, Not much bigger than a. bee, I'm going to grant you a wish. good knight, She turned and said to me. As a reward for your kindness and your brav- ery. For what to wish I had to debate. Should it be for wealth? No, for that is out of date. Nor shall I wish for health. Oh, I knowl' I wish I could see the students of the class of Then lo! the woods vanished from my sight And the White House at Washington came into the light, And Robert Fox. our once honored resident Was now our country's beloved president. I peeped into his Cabinet with delight, For, of great men there. there was a sight: Duncan Felts, whose prowess can never be told. George Miley. as ever handsome and bold, Marvin Bradshaw, looking so very wise We are sure that he is bound to rise. Then, hearing the old familiar sound Of a typewriter, I looked about me and found Lavern Sloane, his secretary And champion Typist of all the country 'round. Then, before I knew what 'twas all about, The building seemed to turn inside out. - It gave a jerk and flew 'way through the air And left me alone, standing there, And then I found that I was in The most magnificent buildiml' I had SWF Seen- Hearing music, I looked around And who do you think it was I found? Earliene Mitcheller. the Grand Opera Star, was singing . , , nd the melody she sang in my ears is still ring- ing. At the piano Lucille Atwood was sitting, While her fingers over the keys were gracefully Hitting. And waiting her turn, behind the screen, Yvas Helen Grable, the famous movie-queen. Then. like everything that is best, This had to vanish like all the rest. And then I was walking along a beach NVhich as a vacation resort. was sure a peach. There were many other people there. too. And many of them, I found I knew. And the fairy's voice, whispering in my ear, Told me their occupations, wonderful to hear: There was Mary Fields, the famous movie-star, Marilouise Elder, most celebrated dancer, with her at par, Aletta Mae Ferrell. the stylish social leader, Who was known to every newspaper reader, Casey Dempsey, editor of the New York Times, Daisy Covington, author of its rhymes. Grace Zvara had traveled far and wide, But had come back to America to abide. Louvena McClendon, as a housewife was happy. Gladys Hart as a rich married lady looked snappy. Billy Quick and Fred ii underlich, great concert singers Brought back memories which in my mind still lingered. Virgil Lambert had run many a race. And had won the Marathon for the United States, Glenn Armstead had taken Tunney 'round and 'round And now was the best boxer that could be found. Maryalice Hamby. Robbie Heaton and Ethel Riegel NVere artists' and fashions most-sought-for models. Clyde Baumgardner had speculated in VVall Street, And now had no trouble in making the ends meet. Henry Utter had worked as no other can And now he was a retired business man. Finis Wells, our one-time class artist, XVas now America's greatest cartoonist. Iogal and Bernice. our only class twins, XVere still together, doing the same things. That was all. I was in the woods once more Feeling more blue than ever before, For from that whole class of 1928 Only I had incurred the wrath of Fate. -Lucille Dixon.
