Class Prophecy Down to the busy docks we go Adventurers are we, Leaving in the ship Commencement To cross the grey-blue sea. Our companions they are many, Graduates from old N. C, Leaving on the ship Commencement To cross the grey-blue sea. We first search out the captain Two days ' beard upon his face, Who would think of Paul K. Cooney Occupy lug such a place? Near the middle of the deck With his easel and his paints Stood the artist, Mortimer Kelliher, Painting picture of the saints. His model sat there like a statue Carved out of purest gold, Harriet Stickles! I cried out, My discovery I could not hold. To the cook shack then we sauntered Just to see who cooked the grub; In apron white, sat Wynn DeGraff. Peeling ' taters on a tub. I heard the shout of Ship Ahoy Come from the lookout on the mast. The sailor-boy — Lor.in Hiehey; His high school days were past. Thus we spent the first half-day, And everything was nice, ' Til the sun went down at four o ' clock, And the breeze turned cold as ice. Frances I mcker was aboard this boat And took occasion to get sick; Shouts burst forth from the cabin door, Call a doctor, quick ! With a grip in his right hand Came Doctor Leyda down the stair. He had lost his hat on the first flight, And the wind uncombed his hair. From the farther end of the deck We heard the wedding chimes, And to the melancholy tunes Were sung the sacred rhymes. To the strains of Mendelssohn ' s wedding march The bridal pair walked to the rail — We saw the bride was Twyla Blair And the groom was Kenneth Nail. Fred Kasline was the chaplain And there he solemnly stood; His prayers for the new-made man and wife, Were short but very good. In the crowd we espied a lady fair On her holy mission bent; Kathleen Coffman to be sure, A missionary to the Orient. The sweet-toned notes of a clarinet Floated out on the evening breeze; We saw Sam Knight a-blowing As he deftly fingered the keys. Kenneth Keller on the kettledrums Kept time with the bridegroom ' s heart; The fiddle played by Kenneth Storey Squawked out a counterpart. Into the dusk of future years, The good ship sailed away — Like a happy dream it passes To leave room for the coming day. And when a story ' s ended, There ' s nothing left to tell. If we find no good in prophesying Then Time alone will tell. LTNN FYHK1K U ' 91

Glass mil | K, THE class of January ' 29, JtWylj! being very small, but very brill- W Vj iant and having no other disquali- | F IJ fications, wish to will to the next S jBf class all those whose mental ca- ll tM Sj; pacit ics could not compete with our progress in the grind. We leave the executive abilities which our small hut illustrious president, Paul KET- CHUM Cooney, inherited from the previous class to whomever aspires to these honors. Twyla Blair states that she wishes to leave her curls to Evelyn Mowbray, and hopes sincerely that Evelyn may use them in her dancing career as Twyla has. In hope that Hoy Berggren may soon be able to tower above the multitude as the worthy president of the Conduct board has done in the past, we leave Bob Ball ' s height to little Koy. We certainly hope that Harold Wilson will not leave his capabilities of pulling off rank procedure such as that at Walla Walla to anyone (inclusive) of the senior B ' s. Neil McLain seems to have been very much concerned about George Davis ' over- taxing himself carting that enormous bass saxophone around, so Neil condescendingly wills Cieorgc his little pipe. Betty Dickerhoff leaves her ability to make goo-goo eyes at the traffic cops and get by with it to Dorothy Barton, but don ' t take advantage of them, Dode. By special request George Sander is leav- ing his false teeth to Pete Graham in the hope that Clarence may use them in fooling others in a way similar to that in which he was tricked. The beautiful and talented Jean Peterson wishes to leave all the dramatic parts in which it is necessary for her to appear homely to Oscar Browst of the senior B ' s who would more readily carry the part. Even though Linn Fyhrie is a wonderful and talented fiddle player, he wishes to leave a small part of his ability to poor Ruth Berg. Freddy Harper leaves his sufficiency of strength, skill and resources for getting home from a certain house in the sticks at the southeast portion of the city to Clyde Vigil. Kathleen Coffman, who has tried long to gain the mighty elocutionary powers of the far-famed Milton, bequeaths her endeavors to I.ucia Whitcmarsh. Chuck Mason wills Thelma Lovejoy to the tender care of his infant brother, Tommy. Since we feel that Milt Wyatt should wear school colors, we ' re leaving Sam Knight ' s raven curls to set off the blushing locks owned b our yell king. Wynn DeGraff wishes to leave the boys at North Central to any girl who thinks that a North Central fellow is good enough for her. Brick Sims, in a moment of generosity, consented to leave his way with women to I -en Foster — goodness Only knows what Leonard will find to do with it. Since Tracy Adams has been left to each senior B class since ' 22, we have decided to break the tradition and take him along with us. We have felt the tingling and exquisite sensations caused by the reverberating tones of Virginia McGuire ' s vocal box very keenly, so we very condescendingly leave them to Lois May Ferris. Winged Mercury, alias Kenny Howser, unwillingly relinquishes his meteor-like swiftness to O ' .zie Dahlen. As a finale we leave little Loran Richey ' s overworked traffic authority to Bob Davis. But please be sensible and use discretion, Bob. To all those whom time and space pre- vent our mentioning in this, our last will and statement: we leave our true North Central spirit and our sincerest wishes for a happy life. SIGNED KATHLEEN COFFMAN GEORGE SANDER LORAN RICHEY [281
