Senior Class Prophecy While gazing in the crystal glass, The future of the Seniors to see The things that I saw will come to pass And the events of the future will be. I saw our friend, jolly Marian Seated on a stool in the choir Playing a large pipe organ Accompanying the song and the lyre. She'll B-flat. Moreover--who would suspect that Ruby A gay leader in most of our fun, Is slated to help run the nation, And sit in Congress, in Washington? She'll tell them things! The next thing I saw was a. picture Of Lillard whose duty is plain: He's to settle right here as a doctor And relieve folks of suffering and pain. He won't kill off very many! Next came a picture of Fred Ou as fine a large farm as you've seen: He makes use of up-to-date methods, And pails cows with a milking machinc. He certainly is a busy man! Right next to Freds' farm, on a larger Lives Mary S. so robust and keen She's married now to the Prince nf Wales And some-day hopes to be Queen. She always did like to rule. Next Carroll was shown as a lawyer Winning cases and fame, without doubt, Well, we're not surprised at his calling He always did like to argue and spout. I bet he'1l charge big fees! Now I found out that merry Cynthia Became a trained nurse with the trick Of conquering malignant diseases, And of taking good care of the sick: But Harold, a real estate dealer, Cast o'er her his powerful spell, So she wed him and spends all her time In keeping him fed up and well, Maybe he'll live to be ninety! I saw Dorothy, a stenographer, But her office days soon will be pastg She's engaged to a preacher in Kansas And she s filling her hope chest up fast. She'll make him stand 'round! My sakes! Noble is planning to run Next election for the governor of tate: Well, our class always had a suspicion That like as not he'd do something great. I hope he wins! Here's Mary W., who didn't like boys, And used to say she'd be an old maid, With a husband and four sturdy child- ren, And looks very contented and staid. She married a barber over at Medora. Renaldo, I see in Chicago, Where he started as clerk in a store But now he has bought out the business And each season his profits are more. He married his best-looking clerk And lives in style on Michigan shore. He always was lucky. Ah, me! Soon I found Ruth Who was always so loving and kind After graduating from College, A career of great service did find, She's a teacher over in China, Where she s training the soul and the mind. Little Ruth, a missionary! Now friends, I hope you've been duly impressed With affairs that will come to pass In the future lives of the pupils Of this great and illustrious class. QA Crystal Gazer.

gsl,,,........ . .. .. .. Class Will We, The Senior Class have felt for some time that our demise was near: we have felt that school was beginning to disagree with us and that the mem- bers of the faculty had conspired to ac- complish the death of the most aston- ishingly brilliant class the walls of Me- dora High and the teachers thereof have ever frowned upon. The bitter doses of lessons we have taken with daily regularity have hastened rather than prolonged our class demise, and we know with sorrowful certainty that the hour of our departure is near at hand. Therefore, being so soon to pass from these scenes of educational activ- ity: -being in full possession of alert minds and memories that put the most extensive encyclopedias to shameg hav- ing faculties keenly sharpened by many contests with flinty instructors, we would publish to you upon this funeral occasion ,the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1927. To the members of our beloved facul- ty, who look upon our demise with smiles of joy, we bequeath the satis- faction which comes from duties well performed, and a peaceful rest from the weary task of making our graduation shrouds. We also leave them a large amount of sympathy for their depress- ing attempts to pound knowledge into our cranium-s. In addition we bequeath them our regrets that their work with us was so barren of results, - we leave them, but we don't leave them much! To the school library we leave the collection of volumes setting forth the charms, the escapades, the achievements and the startling knowledge gleaned from our examination papers. To the Junior Class ,as our rightful and worthy successors, we leave: Ill. Our seats. Occupy them, but do not try to fill them. 123. Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it with becoming seriousness, endeavoring to overcome their usual hair-brained and frivolous flippancy. 133. Our tendency to make a little knowledge go a long way in the class room: also our ability to throw faculty members off the trail when they imag- ined we were bluffing. 445. Our honored positions as mod- els for the school-models of wit, wis- dom, charm of manner, excellency of be- havior, physical development, and ln- tellectual expansion. May heaven help you to stand up under this strain! 1153. Lastly, that which gives us the greatest pang to part with-our strong- ly entrenched places in the hearts of the faculty who have loved us devotedly because-they cou1dn't help it! Com- fort them ln their loss, but don't im- agine you can mangle their hearts as we have done. To the vivacious and exuberant Soph- omores we leave the right to prey upon the Freshmen, out of season and with- out reason, to unceasingly torture them -with the liabilities thereof! Our proficiency in spelling which has seldom been equaled and never bee-1 surpassed, we bequeath to the primary grades. The following valuable personal bc- quests, freely and fully given, should be treasured as a continual reminder of the abundant and overwhelming gener- osity of the class and the individuals thereof. We trust these responsibili- ties Will be assumed promptly and bring important results. 113. To our faculty member, Mr. Lewis. we bequea.th a copy of Amateur Detective Suggestions, which we feel will be of great assistance in ferreting out the pranks of various students. We also leave him a new 1928 Sport Model Ford. C2D. To the principal of the school, we leave the unfailing good humor of the entire classg we are certain he will need this in dealing with the seniors who succeed us, 133. To Miss Brother, who seems too much wedded to her work as a teacher, we leave the book belonging to the girls of this class, How to Win a Husband. Eventually-why not now? I45. To Mrs. Peters we grant Dor- othy's luck in making delicious eatables in the Domestic Science class. They satisfy! Dorothy leaves her glasses to those who have trouble in finding their books and their lesson assignments. 1153. To Louise Davis, we bequeath Ruth Massena's ability to put on a fine -19-
