Glass lflifoplzecg Through the mirror of the future, we see each '46 grad In a gown and good fortune, has been generously clad. Let's look a bit closer, taking each in her turn, And see, of their future, just what we can learn. ULIZBETI-I CLARK, a piano is playing, A geniusli' the critics, far and near, are saying. She's appeared many times at Carnegie Hall 'Cause her marvelous music is loved by all. Ancl LOIS ANN, this was no surprise, To wondrous fame in modeling did rise, But gave it all up to marry a sailor And happily keeps house in a sea-going trailer. We see MARY HELEN, now here's a story, She's turned her back on fame and glory, To change Qwe knew it would happen, later or sooner, From a junior Miss to a Mrs. junior. Now BLANKY and GILMORE and CUMNOCK too, Decided to open an exclusive zoo, They've become more famous than you'd ever dream NVith a championship monkey basketball team! We find IACKIE PRUSS and MARY ANN BALL Slaving away at the City Hall, They work hard each day from eight to four For they both want to be a lady governor. RAUCI-I and LYONS are right up on top, They're joint owners of Ye Olde Hatte Shoppen Their dizzy creations have made them rich For they're worn by debs and stars and Hsieh . MARY ANN LUCAS, now a radio name, As a sports announcer has won great fame. She tells her news in such a way That her sponsors have signed her for life and a day. IEAN SWEENEY has married and settled down In little old Chicago town, But back to the Mount once a year she twirls To show Sister Carmelita her fine red-headed girls. MARY ADALYN LONG, no clock-watcher she, Turned out a successful executive to be, She's worked quite hard these years at Kress And now she's the manager's wife, no less! EMMA LOU, chose air hostess as her career And worked quite gaily for almost a year, Then she married the pilot, believe it or not, And changed her name to Mrs. I-Iotshot . On the New York Times, IOI-INNIE worked for awhile, Meeting each deadline in true Ross style, But she soon retired to write novels instead, She's done ten best-sellers so far, it is said! MILDRED METRAILER round the world went marchin' And in Australia made her fortune, Among the famed of the land she has a place, I-Ier pet kangaroo won the annual race! Our GRETCI-IEN had quite a short career, She posed for a Madonna painting, we hear, More offers? Sure, but Gretchen proved smartest, 'Cause lo and beholf! She married the artist. ADDIE WRIDER, always interested in food, Decided to study it as hard as she could, And now, for the concoctions she fixes to eat, She's known as a chef who just can't be beat. BILLIE DOWIJEY went off' to Newcomb College To gather more of ye olde knowledge, And sure enough, it wasnit in vain For she married the handsomest guy at Tulane! PARNELL and DORSEY and CAROLYN BAILEY Had a triple wedding and now live gaily In hillside mansions that can't be beat, While their hubbies make money on famed Wall Street. PA'I'I'Y MULI-IOLLAND, a Supreme Court bench graces, She's already settled many difhcult cases, A greater success could never be found Than our dignified Patty in a Howing black gown. In a nation-wide contest in art, our IANE SKINNER Came up on top as the number-one winner, The drawings she does are a wondrous sight And she's making millions left and right. What's this exciting announcement we hear? In Little Rock soon, the great KENNEY'S to appear. As a tricky magician she'll bafHe the town 'Cause 'tis said she can change up to down. MCSPADDEN and PATTON and MARY ANN ADAMS Turned out to be society madams, In the fanciest ballrooms of New York, they whirl With a king or a duke or a count or an earl. Our red-headed CAROL, so gay and witty, Settled down long ago with a guy named Smitty, They bougt them a ranch somewhere in the West, And both win honors in bronc-busting contests. A Metropolitan star is our MARIORIE I-IARTZ, She always sings the leading parts, It is no surprise though, we must confess, That our charming Sis is such a success
