vioioioioioioioifvioioi T H E M E LTI N G POT lboioioioioioioioioioio SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Listen my children and you shall hear Not of the ride of Paul Revere. But of the fates of the Seniors dear Graduates of E. T. H. S.-'27 the year! Ethel Lawson, who, no doubt You'll all admit was very stout, ls now keeping new styles on the hop As n model in a New York Shop. Rachel Barnum is winning renown By playing her piano in that town. Her dimples and her lovely smile Have knocked some millionaire for a mile. Ike and Red, now groom and bride With Murphy for their latter name, At Monte Carlo have won much fame. And Nancy Karr in all her jollies Has made a hit with Ziegtield Follies. Nellie Garee, I'll 'tell you true, Is also in this grand Revue. Next we jump to Russia-by gee, The home of the Bolshevist-and here we see, Elmer Wasman, and his game Is shooting Reds, much too tame. Burrell Walden, a once peaceful boy, ls helping Elmer to the latter's joy: And with the soap box for his stand Can be seen addressing a Bolshevist band. Gertrude Ratliff at quite a rate ls in the land of Palms and Dates. While Ruth Bledsoe from absurd to sublime, Is seen in the barber shop most of the time. William Sigler is often seen His Rolls-Royce eating up gasoline, , And many a girl would give here right hand To be riding with William around the land. William Dooley of the '27 class Is married to a LeRoy lass. He spends most of his time galore, Selling clothing in The How store. Margie Patterson now plays the part, ln the U. of I. as a Physics shark. The sight of Edna Gassner, would no doubt Make a deaf man hear and a dumb one shout, For Edna is now in the ministry, Quite different from what it used to be! In London the popular Prince of Wales Is no longer balancing on horses tails, But sure enough-she falls- For this time it is Marjorie Deffenbaugh. Sartain 8z Walden is the name of a firm Established in Boston, with money to burn. The fruit of the business, through funny it seems Is can after can of Pork and Baked Beans. While Beatrice and Pauline. threw down several bids To tell bedtime stories to little kids. Now drawing this nonsense to a conclusion The writers wish to keep their names in seclusion. -'27 oioiozoicvieriixicvicvioiozoioi 1 Q 2' 7 ioicixoioioioifvicnicvioicricnin H81
