I ft . T JNCOLNIT R Class Prophecy My heart is heavy and I have the blues So I go to my home for an all night snooze. I sleep and I dream of my classmates, the dears! And at last I awake to find I’ve slept ten years. I’ll hie me to the old familiar school and see who now is there. I started my journey, the weather was fair. I opened the office door with a jerk And there was Jean Williams, the busy, fair clerk, And to my surprise in the corner there stood Vice-Principal Tannon Caskey in a pleas- ing mood. I next visited the gym and to my surprise There were Mary Warfield and Beatrice Culliver giving exercises. I learned that Coach Shepard had gone far away And now the coach was Mac Coleman, so gay. The chemistry room still with bad odors were filled And the new instructor was sedate Mar- jorie Hill. Then traveling on I saw many others, Nor did I stop till I met Harold Strothers. B. Richard was with him still handsome and tall. They made up the editorial staff of the notable “Call”. Oh how I begged them their paper to see And I saw many things that were start- ling to me. I saw in the headline, yes, of course, Mrs. Helen Redmond Mitchell sues John for divorce. And then in the Society Column I did see Mrs. Frances McCampbell Lyons en- tertains with a tea. I saw that Sergeant Hill with his wife and wee daughter Plad been sent to active duty on the Mexican border. I saw that Dr. Harry Johnson of this city Had an accident in his lizzy. Oh what a pity! He is now in General Hospital No. 2 Under the care of Dr. Arnold and Dr. Swearingen too. In the news of the school I notice that music Was being taught by charming Lois Davis, who uses Many compositions of the now famous Melvin Handsome Who writes sacred music and popular dance songs. I noted that Howard Bell and famous Doc “Fojo” Are being held for investigation, you know ' Until they can prove to the big, bold policeman That the famed Musician’s Club does not stoop to sell gin. But these were not all of my classmates so dear. Where were they? Strothers, what’s that I hear? Oh, thank you so much for your valuable time And now the rest of the class I will find. Down on the corner of 18th and Vine Is the beautiful mansion of Hortense Mackey, so fine. She now has a husband whom I do not know And two chubby children who play on the floor. Now I see in New York, on the stage Mr. Leroy Reed is now all of the rage. And Cecil Reeves, too, is there and very tame Singing his way to fortune and fame. The vision now turns to Hollywood’s pit And I see Thelma Johnston starring in “It”. George Hurse, F. M. McGinnis and Alice Johnson with skill Complete the cast and Oh! what a thrill To see Miss Calanthe Brown so petite Startle the audience with her light, pretty feet! Oh! who is that in the audience I see? Oh, it’s Marie Marshall with little “Ches” on her knee, And next to her sits little Ethel; “Nuff said” Her name is still Thomas for she mar- ried Fred. Now back to the stage I turn with a whirl And see Eleanor and Gabrella as famed dancing girls. And there I see in the orchestra fine, Gallant Bernard Goss who is keeping the time. Oh! he’s the director so graceful and prim And the hot Jazz orchestra is owned, too, by him. My vision now goes to another big state There I see a large college and what’s this? Oh, wait The champions of the world I now see approach A great basketball team with “Cliff” Warren as coach. After meeting the Principal, Arthur Her- ring, I see Anna and Roberta of the large faculty. Though all of my classmates I have not found I’m weary and worn and forced to lie down To sleep I’ll return where perhaps to remain, Till consciousness comes and I my dream may regain.
