PROPHECY As one is often apt to do When years go by and you are lonesome too, I tuned in my T. V. set to watch and listen To a Memento program called Reminiscing . And there before my very eyes, as if it were a dream, My former classmates, one by one, appeared upon the screen, The present status of their lives and what they hoped to do, In candid shots, were shown to me, in panoramic view. Joyce Adams led off and brought to mind, That her sole ambition was to help mankind. In politics, Ray Aldridge has made his name, On the G. O. P. he has ridden to fame. Jerry was working for his Uncle Sam, In his uniform he's a handsome man. In tilling the soil, John ranks high, Bet he hibernates when winter draws nigh. Ada Bowman, a barber she'd be, A barber she is - well Glory Be. In the role of a housewife I saw Louise, Her natural aim is to live with ease. I saw a Ian band, I watched it a while, And there was Daum and her big bass viol. That car Fuss drove was a wreck and a wrack, But I saw her today in her new Cadillac. Gable is drumming his way to fame, With the Air Corps Band I saw his name. Rodney's deft fingers flew o'er the type, As a linotype operator, he's top flight. Janet-an actress? I saw her instead, As a happy homemaker, married to Fred. Ethel Kinneman, now wouldn't you know, Is the new Dagmar on the Bean Bag show. Gloria Klinefelter was shown on the screen, In the cutest white home I ever have seen. In a white uniform jane Korver came to view, She's caring for babies and they love her too! Kessel, remember? She was still as a mouse, As a T. V. star, she brings down the house. To be a WAC or a WAVE, Krugy always aspired, I see she's a captain, and already retired. Pat Leip is a coach of a basketball team, Those college co-eds are sure on the beam. I saw Merle Long mid test tubes and flasks, As a lab technician she had many tasks. Joel in Hollywood is another Clark Gable, To play any role, he is willing and able. Ballet intrigued Patsy in school days, New her T. V. dance is a national craze. As a television model, Alma is solidly booked, Remember how neat her hair always looked? A sports program came, I tuned out the snow, And there was G. Mummert the star of the show Treva's blond curls were as pretty as ever, The man that gets her, will have to be clever. Newman's appetizing cherry pies, Are still winning contests and the prizes. As proprietor of a modern garage, Prutzman's day dreams were no mirage. Larry Racey has skyrocketed to fame, Flew round the world in a jet propelled plane. That camera of Ileichart's, remember its flash? Its magical lens has put Bob in the cash. Peggy so lively, so pert, and petite, Showed howto keep an apartment neat. A homemaker's duties had become Lorene's, She got her man while still in her teens. A shoe shine parlor is Phil Shadle's abode, But now he's the owner, so I was told. Robert Sibert, a professor is he, Has a Phys Ed class on the morning T. V. Bell bottom trousers and coat of navy blue, And they've got Bob Sowers singing it too. Nursing is Pauline's lifelong career, This humane profession she holds very dear. Joan Slough, you recall, a salesman supreme, She directed this program, a beautiful dream. Walter Wehler reached his goal in life, He now has a farm, three sons, and a wife. A Wolf she was born, a Wolf she be, She's the toast of the town on color T. V. And as the show ended, Each one a success, I was glad I had known them, In New Oxford H. S.
