I’age 20 MIMIR ’34 iJrngluTii What ho! What’s this 1 see before my eyes, A newspaper from La Grande, this is a surprise— Who would think of it—our high school chums of ’34 How they bring back those days of yore. Twenty years have passed since the good old days, And here Kenny Webb is producing plays; Janet is still his star each night But because of the chorus girls they still fight. Marianne Boyles is directing, you know. And Glen and Carl light up the show. Between the acts on the flying trapeze Jack and Evelyn hang by their knees. Judy and Ralph in their adagio dance, Taught by the Zivkovich-Turn school in France, Are thrilling the crowds of Arkansas Where John Williams is holding his Mardi Gras. Here’s an item that amazes me, The Conner-Lockwood wedding at three Reverend Harold Munro will tie the knot And Harry Karns will sing, believe it or not. Here’s and ad for a funeral parlor, Where Irwin and Reynolds will take your last dollar. And right beneath it can be seen A smart shop run by Waller and Filin. And we were even more amazed to learn That Joanna, Melba and Betty have taken a turn Now they are great women athletes At swimming and other great feats. And beneath it was an ad of a different type “Old Doc Hogensen will fight for your life’’ And the nurses you’ll be surprised to see Were Muriel, Gene and Daphne. Our curiosity thus aroused about the class of ’34 We decided to hunt to see if we couldn’t find more. Over in a corner we found Stoddard and Berry Making men’s clothes under the direction of Larry. Another ad beside the local news Said the Singleton Severns were selling shoes; Strand Case run an ocean freight liner And a public market was owned by Helm Greiner. Here we find Snider Wheeler paving streets. And Alexander, Crossen Coalwell cutting meats; Here's an advertisement for home cooking at a cafe— Pretty nice for the cooks who are Jean S. and Ola Mae. The big bridges of today Are being built by Cummins Halley, they say; Dolores Stuart and Dixie Ardish are teachers, you know. While Rostock and Smith handle the hoe. Heres a double engagement announced for January, Allen and Whiteside, Dahl and Attebery. McMillan King are building houses to sell, The decorators being Verda S. and Powell. The Gekelers have invented something new— Their assistants were Twidwell, Cooper and McHugh; And who are the editors of the paper did you say? Oh yes, V. Stoddard, Becker and Bray.
