The (.-lass Prophecy JANUARY 1933 SENIORS THE MANHIGAN 1933 IT was with great reluctance that I I left ihe Elysian fields, those lands of happiness, where I have been enjoying myself for a century, to return to this world of troubles to tell you of the present status of the members of the graduating class of January, 1933. The Lower World has not changed much since the days of the old Romans; every person having successfully reached the Elysian fields is free to devote him¬ self to that which he likes best to do. As you perhaps remember from your study of the Underworld, a person is compelled to drink from the river Lethe upon entering; this river has the mystic power of making you forget your mortal life. It seems, however, that we some¬ times sip these waters of forgetfulness in life. You must realize, therefore, what a great honor Pluto, the king of the Underworld, has conferred upon you and me by allowing my presence here today with the knowledge of both my mortal life and the life which 1 have jusL left. When the January graduating class of 1933 left this building, some of its members entered upon their careers in colleges all over tlie country; others set out upon the sea of life immediately. This last fact accounts for the shorter fingers of some of our girls, especially those who were graduated from the Commercial Department. They typed and kept hooks for so many years that their fingers were gradually worn down! Because they worked so hard while mortals, Pluto has arranged special conveniences for them, such as luxur¬ ious couches, varied amusements, and the most appetizing of the foods of the gods. But alas for those people who idled away their time on earth! ft is my sad duly to inform you that a few. a very few, members of this class have been sentenced to hard labor forever¬ more. Their tasks never diminish and they toil on and on. These poor un¬ fortunate people send a message to you: “Jake heed. Spend not your time in idleness.” Our class was full of athletic talent, and those who were fortunate enough to enter the Elysian fields arc amused by the antics of the old Romans, when they attempt to play such games as soccer and football. Our own members are somewhat handicapped in playing, because they cannot run; they can merely flit slowly about. Our class was not without its literary people, and from its ranks rose promi¬ nent authors and editors. Inspired by that divine power they rose to great heights and can now converse quite casually with masters of ancient times. Pluto has made reservations for these people, loo, and they spend their time Class History One hundred seventy-four. We entered Mansfield High. There were new’ toils and tasks For us to try. But each one did his best To unite with the rest, And meet fairly each test For Mansfield High. Some in scholarship and learning Rated high; In dramatics and in music We have strived. In athletics we’ve brought much fame To brighten our school’s great name. We’ve been loyal to Mansfield High. How we wish these high school Days could always last. When we realize that our Senior year has passed. When the picnic held last spring. And the dances we gave both bring Memories of the fun we’ve had At Mansfield High. Our senior party was unique In every way. Featuring prosperity. The lopic of the day. Our class play was a success; It was ranked as of the best. In our senior year We lake greul pride. The Manhigan wc have once again revived. May it not in future days he pul aside. For the Hypho wc wrote From news stories to jokes. Many clubs chose from our ranks Their able guides. Although some of our number have gone. Si ill new classmates we’ve welcomed right along. And on this, our last day of parting, This largest class of one-hundred this mid-year Is starling new tasks in the world to try. Marie Hoover Marian Keller Mary Margaret Richey Lois Stewart in reading and discoursing among them¬ selves. Their only regret is that they are unable to use the excellent material available in the Underworld for stories. Among that happy group in the Elysian fields are some solemn long- faced men and women with a benign expression on their countenances. They do not flit about gaily as the others, hut fly soberly as befits llieir station, for this group comprises our lawyers, our doctors, and our ministers. These mem¬ bers are quite satisfied with their life on earth; the lawyers feel sure that they have conducted many outstanding cases; the doctors arc confident that they have saved as many lives as the ministers have saved souls. The ariisls form a select group. All of their ambitions have been realized. They not only in life reached the peak of their profession, hut now are able to speak quite casually with such masters as Raphael; or if llieir talenl tended toward music, they will at last listen with rapture to Wagner and Beethoven. If perchance when you enter the Underworld, you see persons now and then looking at you with a smile on their ghostly lips, do nut wonder. They are in all probability teachers who are proud to see you enter llieir abode with laurels on your forehead. They assure themselves again and again that it is because they taught you that you won honors as a mortal. Indeed, they arc very distinguished professors in life. The scientists gather in another cor¬ ner and tell one another of the famous discoveries that each made—one found a new clement and another perfected the transmutation of metals. Taken all in all one feels quite awed in the com¬ pany of such intelligent men and women. Our engineers never cease to wonder at the progress made by the world since they left the print of their skyscrapers, bridges, ami dams upon it. Last hut not least come a group of tired business men who in life were so rushed that they were unable to enjoy the society of their families. Now they bask in the admiration of llieir wives, who wondered at llieir business coups in life. Having duly performed my duty, my lime is drawing to a close and I must hasten to a finish. It will not he long iill day begins to dawn, and by that time all ghosts must have vanished. In closing, I do humbly extend an in¬ vitation to you from the Elysian fields; for there in the lands of happiness, 1 will see you next. 13
