Class Jtoem i. We are the Seniors of C. C H. S., We have studied four years, We have stood all the tests. We have fitted ourselves For the cold outside world. And now we are ready To enter life’s whirl. II. When we entered as “Rats” We were thirty-five strong, We were mean and mischievous And full of our fun. The Seniors made fun of us— We were “pecked” on by all. But we studied our lessons And were Sophomores in fall. III. As Sophomores Our class was not hardly so large, There were a few new pupils To enter that fall. Miss David was out teacher, W ith ways fine and slowT, And when she said “rice” And showed her white teeth We were all glad enough to go. IV. As Juniors Our class was dwindling down There were only a handful In the room to be found. We had the room with the clock on the wall, Also a pupil who was rather tall— And when the teacher left the room We’d run the clock hand a little round. And the school got out earlier every noon. —UNA McCORD.

 I pulled another petal and saw a large college. Peeping into a class room I saw Jessie Armentrout teaching chemistry to a crowd of sleepy looking pupils. Ah! Had Jessie fallen thus? Just then Ethel came into the room and I soon discovered that she was teaching Economics in the same school. On looking in another room I saw Lena Wilson, who was vainly trying to get a large boy to understand a propo- sition in Geometry. Po’ Children! But I was anxious to find what the rest of my classmates had become so I tore another petal away. I saw a small school house and Paul McCullers was teaching a bunch of chil- dren to sing, “Go Feather Your Nest.” Just then a small boy went up to Mr. Mc- Cullers and told him that his father said that he must come home at noon. “Why does Mr. Cleckler need you?” The small one answered that he had to help plow. Plow! Had Garvice our ladies' man really become a farmer? I saw the little boy after he had reached home, and to my surprise found that Garvice’s wife was Hazel Smith- Just then I saw a man coming, carrying a basket filled with shoe-strings, pins, powder and other things. He asked Mrs. Cleckler if she wished to buy anything, and imagine my surprise when she answered “No, Mr. Powell, I believe not.” So Lisha had become a “traveling salesman.” I looked at my daisy and only had three petals left. 1 quickly pulled one and there before me sat Curly Roberts in a barber shop. What was the use of being surprised, I knew Curly would always follow that trade. Just two more petals. In my haste I pulled both of the petals at once. I should have known that something dreadful would have happened. I saw two trains coming at break-neck speed- Then ‘Oh, Goodness!’ They had run into each other. Terrified I saw them bringing out the injured and placing them on the ground. I noticed or.e girl who seemed to be hurt very badly. Just then a young doctor came running up and I knew him at once. It was Williard McCIuney. He knelt near the girl and gave her restoratives. “Who is she?” asked one. Then I heard the doctor say that it was Allyne Moon who was travelling with her own Shakespearan Company to London. Had Sonny really realized her life-long dream? I gazed at the stem in my hand and when I looked up everything had changed. The sun was down and I realized that I must have been dreaming. —A SENIOR. P
