Class Prophecy A DREAM I Once upon midnight dreary, As I studied, weak and weary O’er many a curious volume of forgotten lore; While I nodded, in fact, I was napping. Suddenly there came a tapping As if someone gently rapping; Rapping at my study hall door. II Ah, distinctly I remember; It was in the bleak December, Ten years after the date we best remember, That I heard this knocking at my door. Now, I began to think and wonder, Of the meaning of the door-knock thunder, Suddenly I saw my blunder. III Enter my old friends, the ’15 Class. Now in fluttered Archie; from East to West, “Sanders’ Little Pink Pills” are known as the best. Behind him came our Mary, Who her aim in life did reach; No one seemed more happy. For she had a license to teach. IV Bessie Farmer, with her smile, was present; And perhaps that was as it should be; Because as a Red Cross nurse she was serving, Down in the region of the River Dee. V Before me then appeared Robertson, A man of whom our class can boast; He’s coaching the Howard Football Team; And he’s known from coast to coast. VI Now there was pretty Martitia Reynolds, W'ho still her beauty did retain; She was selling complexion powders From Grand Texas up to Maine. VII In walked our friend, Thad Boswell; Without whom life would be one sad strain; For without his jokes and gestures, Life wouldn’t be worth—living again.

 VIII As a teacher of Latin in a country school; Now comes in Miss Pearl White; She seemed to greatly enjoy it, For she translated both day and night. IX Bess Shipe and Rohan Bonham Came walking in, side by side; “Scotty” could not keep from smiling Because Bess was his suffragette bride. X Then here Irene Kenny, housekeeping, I forgot to tell you for whom; Here he comes now; Carl Cavender, For she has taken him as her Doom. XI The man of big business now enters, He's Lester, Mr. Watson by name; He's pleasant to all his companions; And treats them all just the same. XII The next of our class was Edith Turner ; She now came walking in; She said she had been earning a living By selling her needles and pins. XIII Last of all appeared Bob Mathias, Who had succeeded in winning fame; He was a member of that Baylor “Eleven, That never had lost e’en a game. XIV Good will now prevailed in all things; As it should in such a fine band; When suddenly I awoke from the vision Which had carried me to many strange lands. XV Dear chums, classmates, to you all My greetings and love I extend. And hope we may ne’er be severed. But go on thru life as good friends. IDA GREINES. I was there and I saw Ida. our dear little wit. Whose part as Touchstone had made a great hit; She was returning from London, the famous old town That always has honored great men of renown. L. B.
