Life’s Race For twelve long years we’ve studied, Labored, loved, and laughed, And now we’re nearly finished— Our days of school are past. When we have finished this course, There are others to be run, But all of us are ready— We await the starter’s gun. The race of life is starting, We each have drawn a place, And now it’s up to each of us To run our greatest race. As this race of life is ending And the last lap draws in view, Let’s each of us be up in front- Proud that we’ve come through. Walter Bates ’34 The Caldronette 1934 nine

Class Prophecy Saturday, June 2, 1950: Well, little diary, it has been a long time since I last consulted your pages. You will forgive me, I know, when I tell you of Mary Levak’s and my experiences at the Cleveland Century of Progress Exposition. (Mary is cap- tain of the world’s champion women’s basketball team.) The Exposition was opened by Theodore Heinrich who was president of the class of 84. Besides being Speaker of the House, Ted is famous for his many poems and essays. He and Keith Neuman are still pals; they are plan- TungTo run for Preident and Vice President respectively at the next election. One of the main features of the Exposition is an electrical maid that Keith has improved. It cooks your dinner to perfection, serves it, and says “Yes ma’am” when you scold it. As we entered the fair grounds, we were greeted by Theodore Corle who was selling tickets and answering a million questions at once. Just as we were handing our tickets to Ted, we heard a hearty laugh behind us. We'turned around just in time to see Georgia Easterbrook, who is now the world’s cham- pion swimmer, laugh at one of Dick Marsh’s numerous jokes. He has had a contract with the Fox Movie Corporation ever since he graduated from Madi- son High. We walked into the Hall of Science and there we saw Professor William Gabor explaining the life cycle of a flea to a group of awed old maids. We listened to the remainder of his lecture and at its conclusion William in- formed us that he is now a professor of Biology of Chicago University. Upon inquiry, he told us that his brother, Edward, is an announcer for the National Broadcasting Corporation. He is the highest paid announcer on the staff. In another part of the building, Louis Kellogg was telling an enthusiastic audience of his wonderful radio. Besides having television, this radio auto- matically shuts itself off when there is any advertising or when a boring speech is given. In the House of Religion, alter Ferguson wras delivering an inspiring sermon to his foot-sore audience. Walter seemed glad to see us and asked us to come to the rest of his series of talks. He is now the most famous evan- gelist in the United States. Over in the Agriculture Building, we saw Ed Havlor explaining a marvel- ous exhibit presented by the Green-Garret Dairy Farm. Maree Fomev and Elinor Johnson had charge of the Ville Francaise; Marec has been teaching English in a French school for girls and Elinor has been dietician there. While we were discussing old times, we heard a gay, “Halloo-oo, girls,” come from somewhere. We looked and saw coming towards us Mary Louise Greenman followed bv several shy youngsters. She said, “How do you like my brood? There are my prize kindergarten pupils. We-ell, I never—. Here comes Hattie Strickler; she’s principal of the school where I teach.” Walking down the mid-way, we were stopped by a breathless salesman w ho convinced us to buy $15.00 worth of women’s jewelry in the latest mode.
