The notes of an organ drifted, Wafted along with the snow; And the notes as they softly reached me Seemed people I’d known long ago. The organist’s fancy flew thither. And the rhythm seemed to increase. While in through the open window Came notes that were wondrously sweet. I thought of my friends at John Marshall, Of that last great senior year. Of old students who were always Faithful, trustworthy, and dear. I thought as the music gained volume And finally reached a great din. Of all the fine dances and contests We had in the good old gym. And then as the notes seemed to vanish And through the silence so dead A poor reed vibrated badly And the note faltered and fled, I thought of the football heroes When called on the assembly stage And asked to speak to the students Of whom they were all afraid. And then the music continued, A piece that no critic could blame. It seemed to paint a picture. But I could not remember her name. The notes trailed off in the evening; The organist finished his score; The world was again about me; And I was again fifty-four. JL TT pi r U ' 1 Page Twenty

And ray thoughts wandered idly Back through the years of my life. They wandered hack to my school days. To the time when I was young Back to my good times at Marshall, Back to the days of my fun.

 CLASS PROPHECY One day in June 1947 I desired to know what my classmates of 1927 wrere doing; so I went to the castle of the Blue and Gold where a lamous clairvoyant lived reputed to keep records ol all students graduated from the high school and 1 made known my wish. She called Fate, who gave i me a hook of Cardinal and White. As I opened the book, the first name I noticed was that of Maurice Putnam, a famous chemist. His specialty was making an eye wash to keep pupils awake in class. Rennie Horr had gone on to college and been graduated with an B. S. degree at the Agricultural School. He was farming in Iowa and getting 30 gallons to the acre. Margaret Rudesill did not like the way Doris Blake wrote her column for forlorn lovers; she was then writing one herself.

Bartly Wigby was caught by the police while selling Beeman’s pepsin gum in Wrigley’s hall park, Newr York. Meta Rohkohl was last heard of in Venice, selling patented post holes to gondoliers.

Selby Lee was a senator at Washington. It was rumored that he was put there by the suffragete vote. Dorothy Pile, Minnesota's only woman representative was opposing the Honorable D. C. on the question of ‘‘Should Dog-Catchers' Wagons he Sanitary? Helen Le Lacheur knew her face was her fortune; so she became a model for magazine covers. Jacob Barsamiam went in for motoring and was known as the second Barney Oldfield. Myrtle Anderson and Amanda Johnson had been advertising for two handsome, lovable, talkative, and congenial men. Object, matrimony. Frank Lenhart and “Swede Peterson tried their luck in the movies and were made stars without much ado. Page Tiventy-one
