-C , a ,- Very early, indeed came George and Ray, Perhaps to study, perhaps to play. More often the latter, for everyone knew What Senior class officers liked to do. But 'twas almost time for the bell to ring, When Bob and Virgil and Benny came in, Followed by Johnnie, each with the air Cf having worn his textfbooks threadbare. The C'ville Gang were there on time, They were always considered a jolly nine. Winfred, Gault, Favre, Holmes were seen, Mildred, Blanche, Abigail, Eola, Kathleen The Lenzburg four were also on hand, And could always do what a teacher planned. Cscar and Albert with answers galore, But Luetta and Aurelia with many more. Then Betty and Margaret, Helen and Bess, Grades were plentiful as you might guess. But Frances and Florence, Lorene and Mabel, Too, could be given an efficiency label. The P, K. Society was a trio quite bright, 1Twas said they studied from morn till night. Kathryn, Adrian, and Charles to be specific, Were ever on hand with theories prolific. Arline, Norma, and Nelda were cousins three, Wherever you saw one there the others would be. Cargill, Rolland and August the Chemistry sharks, NVere there all right when it came to marks Sam and Andy, who entered midyear, Worked hard to please their teachers dear. Walter the artist, and the violinist Bob Glenn, Were lads upon whom one could always depend. Mildred and Beulah as typists excel, Though Elsie herself did equally well. Alice and Rose good things did cook, Better than she who wrote their textfboolf The fire burned low, the lady awoke, And smiling, thought of the '26 dreamffolk, True friends they have proved, neier a duty did shirk, God bless each one in his chosen work. -MILDRED ANDERSCN 24

CE,--CQ .. . Senior Prophecy New York City, May 1, 1936. Dear Mr. Thompson: I think you will be interested in what I learned recently, concerning the class of 1926. Ten years have made a great change. While touring to New York I met Mildred Nesmith melting her frozen radiator. I inquired about old friends. She said that her radiator leaked so much she had to stop at several farm houses and at one she found Rose Krizo to be the proud mistress. Mildred had just come from Southern Illinois and had a Marissa Messenger with her. I eagerly scanned the paper. I noticed Andrew Varns had won the prize as the Wrirld's Fastest Flivver Driver, that Virgil Ranft has surpassed Flo Ziegfield in musf ical comedy and that his latest star is Wanda Church in Snakes Hips! Shorty Weddington is pulling down good wages as barker of trees in South Carolina. Charles Hall had just signed a government contract to fill a big observation balloon at Scott Field, with gas. I noted an advertisement of the NelsonfFord Agency at Centralia with Louise Young as chief demonstrator. Winfred Milligan's picture was on the front page. He had just been appointed head of the United States Chemical Department. Helen Miller is a famous florist-specializing in roses fRosiej. Frances Ankovitz has just patented her new nonfskid basketball shoe. Alice Flrod adverf tised ponies for sale, bred on her famous pony farm. Elmer Favrewas making his initial flight in an aeroplane of his own construction-a masterpiece in workmanf ship. I noticed a flaming advertisement concerning the glories of a steamer trip on the Great Lakes--George Gault was business manager for the owner of the company. Announcement was made of Robert Wagner Glenn's unparalleled success at the European capitals where he is playing his violin. Cscar Croh was running an ad' vertisement at his shoe store in Belleville-the chief attraction was his model, Arline Hacker who demonstrated, What shoes to wear and how. Mabel Gillespie, an eff ficient stenographer for the Mildred jetton Matrimonial Bureau of St. Louis, visited the home folks. In the church notes I read of Margaret McAfee's welfare work in Baldwin and was billed to tell of her work in her old home town. It further states that Kathleen Wilson was doing a noble work among the negroes of the South. I also found a letter from Florence Baker describing the wonders of France-Florence, you know, is now the Paris representative for a famous New York Millinery Shoppe. I glanced up from the paper to ask, Mildred, didn't any of our classmates get married? I haven't noticed a single announcement or reference to the matter. Oh, yes, Bessie Lehman, Norma Wolf and Blanche McNulty are presiding over the breakfast tables of our old friends, Jerry Holmes, Sam Boyle, and Leonard Svehla. 26
