ODE T0 THE CLASS GF '22 Hail! class of '22 so bold, With flowing banner of brown and gold, To reach this goal our hearts have yearned, We've scratched our domes 'til they have As Freshmen We were rather green, ' Though not the green class often seen, And at the close of the Soph'more year, Improvement vast there did appear. In the Junior year of '21, , We sure had plenty of jolly fun, For the Seniors of that year we spread, A banquet rare on which they fed. And now in this last but not least of ours, Has the Senior Class enlarged its powers, And as this year is almost past, burned We leave this token, the annual-our last. As the years go by we shall keep this book, So that we may turn to look, And see ourselves as we used to be And bring to us sweet memory. Hail! class. our flag has floated high, Now do not let it slump or die, Draw her up and and let her fly, E'en 'til her corners reach the sky! '-T. W. H. '22

l gms.. CLASS PROPHECY' g As the end of the school year of 1921-22 drew near, the president of the Seniors wondered what would be- come of the members of his class af- ter their graduation from M H One evening, as he sat before the fire in his room musing over tl1e future, a strange drowsiness overcame hini. He saw himself standing i11 a large field. A loud b11ZZil1g filled his ears and, looki11g up, he saw an' aeroplane approaching. It stopped near him and a beautiful 1112lidQ1l beckoned him to her and told him to enter the plane of tl1e good fairy of the year 1932 and see the future of 11is class. Soon he was soaring over the coun- try. He was surprised to see the many other planes flying about. Looking d0NV1l, he saw a college ca111pus. Tl1e plane came to earth, and l1e was directed into one of the buildings of lVellesley College. He entered the offices and saw aifamiliar figure seated at a. desk. It was his cousin, Vtfilma, who despite all expec- tations to tl1e contrary, had laid man aside, and 11ad accepted tl1e chair of Englishin one of our greatest col- leges for women. Resuming his journey, he was soon soaring over a great city-Medora. They alighted near a magnificent church and the fairy led l1i1n to the entrance. He recognized the drawling tone of the masterful orator in the pulpit, who took for his text, Lift up thine eyes to tl1e 'Hills'. After the services a beautiful woman came forward like a Beem,' of light and he recognized her as the tiniest member of theclass of '22. Sl1e was tl1e 111i11iSi2G1',S wife. . Theinext stop was on the roof of a large, impressive bank building in the busin-ess'sec-tion of the city.' The fairy directed l1i1n to the pres1dent's oiiice. , He entered and-paradoxical as it may seem-saw' a Crocker occupying the president's chair. The following fiight was rather long and when they came to a stop he found himself in New York City. They en- tered a beautiful a1't studio. Before the easel, palette in hand, stood a fair-haired artist. He was painting a portrait of l1is wife and was work- ing painstakiiigly to get just the right tint of auburn to her hair. On the walls were pictures which had won first prizes at various art ex- hibitions. Surely this was the Hall of fame! They then flew out over the ocean The fairy pointed to an ocean liner and gave him a field glassf He focused it on the people on deck., At the railing stood a young man and a very Grace ful youugwoman, who looked exceedingly happy. They were apparently on their honeymoon-to Europe. The woman was a former classmate. - Again they entered New York and landed 011 the roof of a large depart- ment store. He entered the building, which was filled with fashionably dressed ladies, one of whom he re- cognized as the Stewart of the class of '22, She had become the wife of tl1e millionaire, who owned the store. The final stop in New York was on the roof of a large
