Cecil Olson is a nurse, to her work her soul she gives. Every day in sincere service, happy in the realm she lives, So content in quiet labors, you would hardly know Cecil, But a nurse is what she ' ll be, or my prophetic gifts are not real. Annavard, a Dean of Women in a University, Where her labors bring contentment, with their great di- versity. What she wants and what she orders to her charges is their law And with her they ' re very happy, and they hold her in great awe. Mabel sets the pace of fashion for the people of Broadway, Is the foremost foreign buyer for some company, they say. Spends her winters all in Paris, returning home usually in May. Bringing word of latest fashions for our summertime array. Then quickly to the Grand Canyon brink I seemed at once transported ; A hotel hostess met my view, a good one so reported ; I found her in the office though the liour was very early. And recognized our old-time friend, none other than Elinor Shirley. And Almina as you know her, you would hardly place here here; Dolled out in a prescribed costume which made her look so queer. But it was a swell hotel that catered to the wealthy And Almina made their menus trying hard to keep them healthy. Then it was I saw Maria in such finery regaled Going from a hotel desk where some letters she had mailed. And I asked the bell-hop nearby, who this dignitary could be. Why the wife of Senator Somebody, was the answer he gave me. Madalene ' s eyes still sparkle with their bit of suppressed glee And her suitors and admirers flock yet prolifically. But their presence doesn ' t phase her, the old adage doesn ' t hold. First the best, is what she claims now, at least that ' s what I was told. Hattie finally with persuasion has returned her diamond ring. And H. has won her over, not an unexpected thing. Their abode is there in Central and their crops are doing fine ; The rumor that I last heard was they ' re kiddies number nine. Eloise is a librarian in a library of some size, Says the work is something that she knew she never could despise.

Porothy Jones, oh yes she maiTied, that was Charley I could see. Living- there at Teachers Coiie ;e, ho has got his Ph.D. U ' ith her hiisl)and a Professor, Dorothy wants to study too, Until she can teach beside him : her degree is almost due. Georgia was not near the old place, in a i)lace unknown to me; South America was where she lived, strange to vou as it may be. Wedded to an engineer whose fame is spreading wide. And it pleased me much to find her such a blissfully happy bride. Mary Kramer, still so luu)py works and sings and sometimes plays. Reads the deepest of all reading, goes clear back to Homer ' s lays. Then imparts the knowledge gathered in an immense lecture I ' oom Where Ted Bushby sitting nearby looks as solemn as the tomb. Elizabeth has found a man whose after her own heart. I see her going down the street a pushing a gj-cart, She ' s taking sonny for a walk, and also to meet his dad ; 1 saw him grreet them as he came, they all seem very glad. Becky is a secretary in one of the large concerns, Real content with her position and the salary that she earns. Businesslike I thought her manner when someone came to confer. And she has a dozen stenos who are working under her. l Xx- ' A. - Idabel it seemed in science, had chose to specialize. Many theories she ' d exploded, many more she ' d criticize, So that by her tireless research, and by working like all fury She had gained a reputation that rivaled Madame Curie. Then it seemed I saw Myrtle, talking to the manager of a store. When the manager ' d say something, she would say a whole lot more. And with her persuasion, what a saleslady she did make, Buyers simply had no say, her goods they ' d have to take. Jerry still lived here in Flagstaff, and her husband bossed the mill And their home was real pretentious, jjerched high up ujion the hill. When I saw her, she was hostess at some elegant affair. And in formal entertaining she and Bob sure do their share. Florence Naegle looked so funny since she ' s got so very plump ; She ' s a country superintendent, really has made quite a jump. In her county where she ' s serving she is liked so very well. That no other they ' d consider, so she ' ll be there quite a spell.

' { A 1 Flacks of childivn round lior daily asking what they next shall read, And her careful, wise suggestions they are always glad to heed. May Webb ' s life is rich and varied as an actress ' always is; Even she can never say that her career has been a fiz. Roles so thrilling, quite unlike her, have long since become her line, And her poise and inteiijretation are considered very fine. Lucy Mae has got a fine jol) where she keeps dolled up all day. Wearing the finest clothes in the country, in a store on East Broadway. When the prospective buyer they want to please real well, Lucy Mae displays the costume ' cause she always looks so swell. Mrs. W ' illiamson ' s a matron in a girl ' s home in the west, Where her discipline and methods are unquestionably the best. But her powers of endurance have been put to the test, So I found her on the sea shore, enjoying a well earned rest. Alzada ' s been so lucky as to manage to live abroad. Long since elevated o ' er us who are just the common sod. She made a move in matrimony with some agility And got engag ed and married into real nobility. And Jake sits at the helm, almost of our ship of state, At least he controls the finance, and decides on Wall Street ' s fate. By queer turns and wise maneuvers he has gained monopoly. Which was just what we expected with his rare ability. Lynn has long since married Helen, but they don ' t live in Winslow ; Far from such suburban life it seems they prefer to go. And I find them midst the bustle and the hurry of New York, Where their life is one grand series of a honeymooning lark. -Xlwen now has eclipsed Sousa with his famous concert band And right now his field of labor seems to be a foreig-n land. Work unceasing, endless labor is what has got him there. But some old friends from the Normal in his present glory share. Paul of course turned out an artist, since for him that road was shortest To the height of fame and glory where he wanted most to be. And if you visit real exhibits, whei-e the very best is shown You ' ll come across the paintings of a school mate of your own Morris Richards is another who also achieved some fame. Along with Sir Lsaac Newton, the whole world writes his name, Tedious old mathematics, absorbed into his very soul.
