At the wheel Alma Lyseng smilingly sat, A And she could well smile for her coffers were fat. Her billi-on dollar company was hard to beat, Its specialty was synthetic pickled pigs feet. Again my attention was called to the st1'eet, To a car which the crowd did demonstratively greet. In it rode Lindbergh and Leslie Walden In aviation togs as chic as could be done. From a trip to the moon they had just returned The first ever made, and great glory they'd learned. But the remarkable part of the tale told by these Was the astounding fact, The moon really was green And chancing to smear some on their faces, they Found it superior to the best facial clay, And a great fleet of ships was going to start soon T-o open up business with the man in the moon. A shifting' scene in the crystal, and lo I saw the procession gathered in a park below. On a low platform a great organ was set,- And I saw that a treat the crowd was to get, All 'at once the great organ pealed forth an air, And I wondered what genius sat at the keys there. She rose to acknowledge the applause of the crowd, And I saw Violet Heigg as she smiled and bowed. Then a brave portly igure in a neat suit of grey Stepped forward, hand lifted, and said, Let us pray. His words were earnest and encouraging, by far But my lips were repeating, That is Charles Jahrf' Far off I seemed to hdar a trumpet loudly blow, And a blue mist seemed about the crystal to flow: The walls and the room seemed no longer bare, Y 'Twas eve, and I was sitting in my soft easy chair. cheese.

V, ,nu CLASS PROPHECY Sitting one eve in my s-oft easy chair, The gum was eternal and never had a flaw All at once the walls and the room seemed bare, And a clear, crystal globe suspended hung Before my gaze, and a radiance flung, And deep in the crystalis clear embrace I saw the future face to face. Listless 'at first I must confess, Till I recognized faces of H. H. S. Then I sat e1'ect with watchful eye, For now I could truthfully QU prophesy, And a load of care from my shoulde'rs slumped, For that class prophecy had for days had me stumped. With wonder I gazed and withhiwe beheld The faces of those I had kn-ownsof old, lt seemed that of years, about thirty had fled, Since I to my classmates goodbye had said, As we left forever our dear Hitterdal High, With a sigh on our lips and a tear in our eye. The village of Hitterdal now metropolis grown, Was known o'er the earth for its children's renown. D-own its wide boulevard with flags bedecked Came a great procession I was fain to inspect. Far in advance on a mettlesome steed, A herald called out for all the people to heed That this day, for Hitterdal, had been proclaimed A Home Coming Day for those who were famed, And who once graduated according to rule From various classes in the local high school. As each car passed by a legend appeared, That informed the concourse how each personage fared. Looking closer to see who the herald might be I noted, tho olde1', a close resemblance to me. But the h-orse pranced on and I was feign to see, Who in the procession might be known to me. Leading the procession, as I am alive, Came a banner bearing 'tTlie Class of '29 And close following the banner in 'a limousine gay Came May-or of Hitterdal, the noted Harvey Melbye, Who once had been our prexy, and full of odd tricks, But now rises high in state politics. Close followed a Rolls Royce -of green and gold, And a cheer arose as onward it rolled. Within was Otto Nybakken with hair dark and wavy, Famed Rear Admiral of the Swiss Navy. Seated beside llignwwith looks sad and harried Was the author ofa best sel'er, How To Be Happy Tho' Married On acc-ount of her sadness I gazed at her some And w startled to see that it was La Vanche From. In th ack seat H trio engaged my attention, Eachbf them noted for some great'inYention. The :first was Hazel Hansen, who in a wrigglv way, Had invented a chewing gum, the fad of the day. ' Q could be chewed undected without moving the jaw. f egecond was Rhoda Jahr, who a fortune had made, po this had put optimism in the shade. Fortthat which had filled her coffers to the brim, ' ' Was a savory doughnut without any rim. I 'H
