WEE . . , Q ,, W Q, ., ,J g. I - '1ill!6?Ye'Q-E'. '!7 Q B ' CLASS PROPHECY It was June I, 1950-the Senior Class Day at Lourdes. All the members of the class were to be present at an historical exhibition in the afternoon. All had been requested to contribute some relic of the past in the form of old records or time-worn documents, and poor Daniel Meyers, the third, was still rummaging in old trunks for his share of the contribution, but his efforts seemed futile. Sud- denly his eyes rested on an old safe that had been removed from his father's of- fice. Without further ado he ransacked the discarded safe, and, to his unbounded delight drew out a bulky volume or manuscript, yellow with age, entitled REC- ORD OF THE CLASS OF IQ27. Ah, just the thing, cried Danny, why it must be father's graduating class-and now I'll have a relic worth while. An- ticipating a treat, Dan rushed down the stairs with a whoop and a yell-all fire and excitement C just a chip of the old blockj, eager to begin the perusal of these precious pages of ancient history. Locking himself in his den, to be undisturbed, Dan the third hastily scanned the first page, which read as follows: VVe, the Class of 1927, aware of the great sorrow we are about to inflict on our school by our departure, do hereby pledge ourselves to a class reunion in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty- seven, at which time we shall record our respective achievements and affairs. We affix our seal and pledge to this earnest declaration of purpose on this Ioth day of june, IQ27.,, RECORD OF CLASS OF 1927-written on the evening of the reunion, June 23, 1937: FRED PELTIER is now the chief radio announcer for station VVGN, Chicago Tribune.

China? - A ! t . GRADUATES' AUTOBIOGRAPI-IIES Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us. All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely playersg They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. The Lord wished to reward man, so He placed me in the midst of human- ity. My hair is exceptionally curly, slanting slightly toward the golden color. My sparkling eyes are my greatest attraction and my features are simply perfect. My talents abound in any line of knowledge and I promise to be a second Thomas Aquinas. I am happy to be able to bequeath my superfluous knowledge in science, music, and art to my sister and brothers on some occasion when they are old enough to realize the value of such gifts and the efficiency of the giver. The tact of stage performance comes to me naturally, and say, it's the talk of the town. ' I shall linger no longer on my endless line of rare talents and all I have to say is: Respect a man, he will do the more. DANIEL MEYERS, '27, I was born in the year 1908-I think the Lord surely made a mistakeg al- though I'm glad that I am here even if it is a Valley of Tears. From all details it seems that in my earliest boyhood I was the cutest little chap in the neighbor- hood, and everyone went into ecstasy over my golden hair. Time and appearance have changed. Now I am in the prime of my youth. It seems as though all my beautiful features are clinging to me, except my golden hair, which has been replaced by a heavy growth of black hair. Athletics, such as basketball and football, in my mind, are downright foolish- ness. I would rather, any time of the day, take a Latin book and study its idioms than play a game of ball. Since I am rather small of stature, feeble 'and weak, naturally every boy in the class loves to push me around. It is a great handicap to be thus situated. ' A little body often harbors a great soul. Lao Ronxowsxi, '27, I think it is simply preposterous to ask me, who possesses so very many rare qualities, to write my autobiography. If I were to venture to write an account of all my characteristics the public would judge me vain and foolish. They might not even give me credit for them. Everyone who has seen me knows that I am not noted for beauty, but I sur- pass all my classmates in talents and abilities. I have a great faculty for retaining the knowledge acquired. My chief delight is to sit by the hour and solve mathe- matical problems. But in this vast and constantly changing society of modern days if one rises above his fellow-creatures there is risk that he may be misunder- stood. Such is, sad to say, the case with me. 'Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Semproniusg we'll deserve it. LILLIAN MCAULIFFEQ, '27. VX g . , ' . 131mg 5 W -N , x r APE .,3isif 7N5?. Qstlgi 1 9 3 R f. -I 355 t T Page 33
