McKENDREE YEAR BOOK 25 Prophecy of the Class of 1914 By Mabel Crump Since this hard task was given me, To write the Senior prophecy, I hied me to Apollo ' s home And there high in a lofty dome I looked into a crystal well. And what I saw, to you I ' ll tell. First, right before my gleaming eyes, A face looked up in glad surprise. The fK rm, I saw, was sadly bent As the long hours in toil were spent. I asked, Sir, what is that you do? Said he, From doughnut ' s holes I chew. ' Who was the man you ask of me! Old Bob Peters you may see. Next I beheld a circus ring. With girls and clowns who dance and sing. And walking on a tight-rope there. Was Bemice Wait, I do declare. Whom next do you suppose I saw, Afar from native home and ma, A ' teaching little heathen girls? Miss Berry ' s face, all framed in curls. Along a stream my gaze now strayed — There stood a man, his clothes all frayed. And as a means of livelihood This man caught bull frogs as the could. His name — I tell it you with pain — Boy Deffenbaugh, our German Swain.
