Class Prophecy comm ned A hospital now comes to my sight, And I wonder if I'm seeing aright, When Junior Custer emerges therefromg So a doctor at last he decided to become. A moment later two nurses enterg On their work alone their attentions centerg Martha Jane Gates and Ruthmary Beane Each has become a surgical queen. Through the window I see Lois Petry at work As she types nothing seems at all dismal or murk When in walks Carl Shaffer and prepares to dictate And tells her to hurry so they wou1n't be late. My aim I now take to a state in the west, To Hollywood, yes. as you surely have guessed, For across the MGM studio lot Goes Howard Mayers the comedian, right on the dot. For a while in San Francisco now I shall pauseg You'll find that I have a most worthy cause, For at the university I have several friends, Each of whom some subject attends. The first that I see is a tall dark-haired man, Who as mathematics professor some years ago began, Bright people like him he hopes to incite, 'Tis Charles Overholser who has proved genius quite. The next whom I see as I still search around, Is Glenella Campbell who, I have found, Is the Englfsh professor we all had expected, With the sweet disposition time had not affected. Then I behold a teacher of history, Her position thereas does not seem a mystery. For Eleanor Woolf has a great history knowledge, Which one must have to teach in a college. The last I recognize is the music teacherg I know her broad smile and each other feature Fern Fourman has always tried her best, And puts forth an effort whate'er be the test. I glance at the harbor and see there a ship, That just is returning home from a trip, I see Hubert Houdeshell in captain's uniform, Who can handle his ship in sunshine or storm. Now I scan again the country over, For perhaps, in so doing, I may discover Some one else there whom I might recognize, And, indeed, I do, to my great surprise. I see Lois Kemp with pencil and paper, Who, in way of cartoons, has cut a new caper, For though she had told us that Herbert was dead, I'm sure in the comics of him you've all read. Next I notice a sign on a picturesque house, Which does immediately my attention arouse, It says Marjorie's Beauty Shop , then I well know Marjorie Smith in beauty culture has at last made a Ngo . Who's that who seems in such a big hurry, And who down the street does scurryard flurry? I smile to myself when at last I am sure, It's Charles Royer, the dog-catcher, very demure. I'm about to withdraw my telescope at last When in Washington, D. C., at the courthouse so vast Dale Miller to the Supreme Court is recently elected For him such a position no one had detected. I've become very weary and lay my 'scope down And think of the people whom, in searching, I found: I conclude that each one whom I saw there below Had been '39 seniors from good old Monroe. -Marjorie Strickler I 191

Class Prophecy A Trip To Mars After sitting and writing for an hour or so, I leave my paper and vow that I'll go And visit a while on Mars in the air, As in 1950, it's done everywhere. So I plan to leave the earth the same day In the new-fangled rocket, which I've heard people say Was invented at last by the great Hubert Ott, Who pondered and studied on this rocket a lot. On the way through the sky I pass a great plane, As it comes nearer to me, I see through the pane The pilot is someone I know very well- Yes, I know it's James Smith, I plainly can tell. When at last I arrive at my destination, I find a great laboratory quite near to the station, And I wait not so long until I discover It is Miss Norma Jeanes'-a classmate fanotherj. I hired me a guide and was shown all around And it happened, by chance, during this that I found Virgil House, who had come to Mars to explore, But who really on earth ran a hardware store. Then a thought of my telescope comes to my mindg At once I procured it and hastened to find Anyone on the earth whose face I might knowg And to get a bird's-eye-view of my home world below. As I sight down past the moon and the stars, I forget altogether that I'm really on Mars, For very near I see Ralph Lipps, on a tractor With radio attachments which is a new factor. And there I can see in a field of bluegrass, A large group of thoroughbreds.which none can surpass: I know them immediately and can easily tell They graze on the farm of Dick and Bertie Bell. To Cincy, just now, I direct my attention, For surely it is worthy of mention, For there I can see on the baseball field Rautsaw, who really his left arm can wield. And there on the side carrying the bats Is Meryl Pence, in person, who's saying f'Aw, rats! When with his arms full he takes a big spill, And slowly gets up and goes on with a will. In the great sea of faces I see in the crowd One face that seems most unusually proud She waves to the pitcher when she catches his eye, Marjorie Lou is content when she sees his reply. In the suburbs I see two cottages small And in the back yard talking over the wall Are Marie Howell and Mary Stiver living side by side, And ever their friendship shall live and abide. To New York City next I take view, And as I search the large city through, The first that I see is a great rocket company, The Parks brothers find that the dollars are many. The next thing to meet my wondering gaze, As I look down upon the great city maze, Is a designer's shop with most beautiful stylesg Emrick and Cable fashions are known for miles. Now whom do I see over this radio? CTe1evision has long been in use you knowj To be sure since the death of the late Major Bowes Leon Schlotterbeck took his place as everyone knows. And there goes Avis Hundley down the street Whom, I've heard it rumored, no one could beat As secret detective number fifty-five, Who always catches them, dead or alive. E181
