(§m Utaian (SENIOR PROPHECY) As the Seniors on their way Go from Normal on Graduation Day A thought arises to bridge the sadness, Which perchance may turn to gladness. A question arises as to what our Seniors shall be As each sails onward o ' er life ' s turbulent sea; From the present w e shall ask no more But eagerly seek dame future ' s shore: — H. K. Grantham first greets our gaze As I discern him ' mid the maze; Grantham now as I behold Different, yet the same as of old. Grantham now graces as host The position of Ambassador to a foreign post. In the land of sunny Italy He now holds preeminent sw ay. Una Mai Adkins ' form comes into view As I pierce the darkness through She now, O wonderful to say. Is leading a parade as she comes this way. Preceded by martial band Closer draws — this first lady of the land; For Una Mai as thus you see Is our President ' s w ife — they tell me. Ada Branson now holds a seat In the U. S. Senate when-e ' er it meet Ada, too, is beloved by all As she hears the cry of politics call. Mildren Pyron next trips into sight ' Tis hard to distnguish her as I try my might, Oh yes, here she is — but by her side Is her brand new husband — Mr. McBride. And next w e find on fame ' s high scroll Our former classmate, Cecil Cole; A well-known writer beyond the seas The English public he strives to please. In the garden spot in far Japan Comes into view a tourist man; Rollin Wilson of aerial fame Who is an Ace in the International game. Andrew Ki ncannon now doth appear Accompanied by shouts far and near; Now the Governor of Tennessee By the last election of the year ' 53. 22
