The Viking JANUARY 1940 PROPHECY As we begin life's journey, we bear the ancient wail Of the legions gone before us, You will fail.” From every side one notices the mumbling and the grumbling Of those folk along the way who have been stumbling. But listening not to those who were vanquished in the strife, We know we will he victors on the battlefield of life. Then perhaps in some far-distant misty, future age We ll find our glowing record, and reading page by page Discover that this prophecy which was so long foretold, I las reallv been, in truth, our futures’ very mold. J Each person’s aspirations have completely been fulfilled, And Hving armv students bv Norm Adair are drilled. n While little Ella Armour working harder than before, Now manages and operates her own department store. Conscientious Warren Askew, who labored once at I ledges, Gained great renown in science analyzing hamburg wedges. The mystic cards before us,and here’s the news they tell: A famous aeronautic star is our own Murney Bell. Let's draw the curtain wider and find this great sur- priser. In neon lights, I I. Carlson, Business Advertiser. We sight a lovely citv on yonder distant hill O J J J And arriving at a festival we each receive a thrill. We’re escorted to a banquet and told to cat our fill. For Bankers Laurscn, Don and Bud, are paying for the hill. And there’s a champion golfer, Ken Cloutier before a throne, A nodding and a bowing in a sweet mysterious tone n o At the fairest of the beauties, a star of the silver screen; It’s Millie Bidigare, our one time I ligh School queen. A shivering galaxy of notes so wonderful and so fair, O O We turn our eves unconsciously, and in amazement stare At Audrey Weeks, the artist who plays with rhythm rare, A while we linger in the past, and hear Bing Crosby’s voice, But here we find Art Chaney's the people’s only choice. Because of the efficiency of a certain Chinese joss, Miss Margaret Carlson, secretary, has up and wed the boss. Then venturing down a highway covered with a gold veneer. We see a sign whose letters proclaim to far and near I bis dainty trail constructed by J. II. I lorner, engineer, As a monument to Cupid. I Iere people dwell in houses white And never once are tempted by the strength of Renos might. We see our old time sweethearts behind those shutters blue. Earl L x p, Ruth Taylor married, and Vera Clark is, t x . Mamie Werbicky, visited by Minerva in her dreams I las found her matrimonial, at least that’s how it seems. In the democracies of old. there was a world of graft. But justice here is free, my friends, because of one Grace Craft. Of late her work has suffered a most severe retarding Because of the election of Senator J x.' I larding. While standing at the court house we’re passed up by a racer, Our speed queen, Anita Christenson, dares all the men to chase ’er. Donald Weigandt, one time friend of Stalin, Is now one of Mr. Richard’s callin . And here the sun glows warmly on a silent, quiet spot. Also we find a-slumbering ambitious Wesley Watt And partner, Jim Vennard, is vanquishing all foes By controlling even interests in the sale of women s clothes. A clear soprano voice that comes winging from afar, Announces Bernice I kill, the latest opera star. Bill Trcthaway publishes fxxiks of humor really droll; Remember how he used to argue about the price of coal? Our little Phyllis McDonald, who used to make hearts pop. At present it’s the mannikins in her successful shoppe Who produce chapeaux and dresses, the real cream of the crop. Our quiet Elizabeth I lavton, who became salutatorian, Went on to college and became a recognized historian. That smiling, blushing girl you see was our Irene Fair- hurst, But now her place in one man’s heart will never be but first. Winifred England was a friend in whom you might confide. Perhaps thats why she’s famous and now a happy bride. In the center of the city there stands a monument Erected to a man to whom great happiness was sent. A magician, I loward C x pcr, who of Powers loves to boast. Is haunting Miss McCully in the nature of a ghost. So. people, do not be the ones to ask in mute surprise. Where is this fair city where failure never flies? What must one do to reach its portals up yonder in the skies? It’s simpK this, We build the ladder by which we rise.’’ Page thirteen
