Class Prophecy ND now the year of l31 rolls Jround, Our tenth reunion finds us on the ground Of 0. C. 8., scene of past honors won, And still our brilliance doth eclipse the sun. Our President, the well-loved Laura Lee, tA foremost socialistic leader, Shel Arrives the first to greet the gathering throng Assembling after separation long. The Muhlhausers, inseparable pair, Are next to come. Virginia has the air Of one whose conscience says hers are the rights In Soda Fountain Abolitioni, fights. Then Charlotte speaks up very proud and bold, Her rtflfth and youngest child is one year old? Delia arrives, sculptor 0f world-Wide fame, Whose work the ages better will proclaim. Her close friend comes, amid a mighty fuss, Judy twho would not graduate with us But waited for a one yearls later classJ A Prima Donna now, whom none surpass Unless ,tis Maydee. Wedding bells did ring Early for her, who yet doth gaily sing. 29 With Maydee, Anna Webb, the fair, arrives, Her business wrecking young men's hearts and lives; Though many hundreds seek to give delight She's not yet found the man Who is just right. Yonder in bonnet stiff, and blue attire, Quiet, demure, and sombre, sits Bee Dyer, She's been by the Salvation Army claimed; The pretty doughnut girl, she now is named. We have the absence of but two to mourn; Virginia H. and Edith have been borne, By way of Adele Heitz's HAir Service Route, T0 Russia where will Edith soon search out, New members for her famous t'Ballet Russe. Virginia local color seeks, for use In the new Russian movie shels to write. We all ask Cecil if the rumorls right That she's to star in this new photoplay When Doris gets production under way. tD. Griffith was succeeded by D. Baur. Whose fame increases with each passing hourJ Cecil, the latest vamp, most graceful curled On a soft couch replies, tiThe other world

with her line drawings. The year 1919 saw our class in possession of the school vamp, Anne Belle Arthur, who left Texas to be with us; sweet-voiced Maydee Guedry came from Kentucky to Win her way into all our hearts; Dot Kent, with her liknow any jokes for the Annual? and Mildred Haines, who became homesick for Tory and left us; Ruth Hillenbrand, Ruth Smith and Dorothy Helmes entered as specials and will not graduate this year. Mary Louise Hummel and Helen Duhlmeier stayed with us for a year. The fall of 1920 was a memorable time in all our lives, the last fall that we all would gather together to have Miss Kendrick watch over and guide us into the right paths of life with her loving gentleness. Sue Stanage joined our ranks but was taken ill at Christmas and compelled to leave, Bee Dyer With her coal black hair arrived on the scene; Hazel Dixon who never can manage to be in her seat at the ringing of the eight-forty bell; Ruth Standish and Agnes Van Arsdale both were special students. Ruth left in February but Agnes has stayed through the year and we all love her dearly; Virginia Herman studies hard so that she may enter Miami next year. This ends the history of the Class of 1921. It has been a happy twelve years for all who have shared in the work and joy of our life at dear old Oakhurst. E. L. U., l21.

15 known to Agnes. Let her prove her claim As spirit medium, or give up her fame. Agnes, in proof, her wonders doth parade, Proving that there are tricks in every trade. Dot Kent sweeps in, quite grand and so blase We fear that she will scant attention pay To us small mortals whom she used to know Ere she became the belle of Buffalo. Yonder, beneath a gorgeous hat, we see Alex, just now returned from Italy. Her latest fad is taking baths 0f dew, And soon she will be up to something new. Her voice and ease of manner on the stage Make Eloise the latest Broadway ragel In I'Follies gayest dance she wildly whirls, Most popular of all the chorus girls. Here Gail, great scientist of HHousehold Artsf' Assured and easy, Wisdom great imparts. Hazel looks jaunty in her blue attire, The mighty power she wields we all admire. Now at her slightest wish we start or stop, For shes the Peebles Corner traffic cop. Clib shouts her grand and glorious news afar, At last shels been admitted to the bar. After ten years of labor night and day, Perhaps a little fame will come her way. lTis thus we meet upon reunion daye May glory such as ours neler fade away. C. E. F., 21. 30
