Ruth Burrus next of whom to brag As she is now a model of James Montgomer Flagg; Her pictures on canvas, and books covers galore What could we w ish for her more? Louise Bee, so seems to me. Has gained recognition in Gay Paree, As an architect of great renown; But now she has married and settled dow n. But H. B. Evans has not veered from the rule. And is now President of a Young Ladies school; Tliis position is of honor and — listen w ell ' Tis rumored he is to wed the village Belle. Tommy Ozment ' s fame now spreads As onward and upward fame ' s path w ay he treads As a Lyceum lecturer and orator, too Over the continents, both old and new . Music, music next floats to my ear As closer, yet closer into the future I peer I discern John Lax in his musical career As vocalist, violinist, and Professor, I hear. Next from the mist rises William Lancaster Now he walks beside instead of past Her , He ' s a U. S. Civil Engineer Achieving fame both far and near. Last from the shadow s a mirror seems to rise As I look, I greet a reflection of my ow n eyes, Let Lois be w hat this magic year brings But remember her as a true friend above all things. Thus ends our transient dreams Of visionary years so it seems; But let ' s mark each milestone as upw ard w e climb With good thoughts, kind words, brave deeds — for all time. —LOIS HAYS. 23
