One member of our class has chosen the ministry- Adam Mann-is this a mystery ? For another Mann in our group I now answer, Yes, Doris is now a professional dancer. A movie idol whose glory extends afar Is Scott McDonnall, now a handsome star. Another member of the teaching galaxy is new. She teaches girls how to be modest-Stella Meridew. Bob Miley, oh-do you recall Tarzan, his nickname? Well, as Tarzan's double he's won his fame. Oh, my goodness-here's a boy in our class-Glenn Mock, I-lets always late for work-so Boss says, Dock! Seventeen It seems our class developed farmers-and then some more- Another member of the agriculture host is Marion Morr. A temperamental actress is causing a fury! Remember her? Of COUTSE, it's Gladys Murray. A football coach ilabeled a Rocknel to victory has led His team for high honors--who?-Wheat Olmstead. Luella Ruple is another successful sezretary, And I hear it whispered her boss she'll soon marry. Burton Ruple, also in our class-to Luella, no relation- As a business man has made his reputation. Louise Segrist is now a band director, Tune in on television and you can see her. Ed Staehling is now a prof-didn't you guess? My, oh, my! His class is always such a mess! The most successful surgeon, without a doubt, Of present times is Wally Stout. George Tedrow for his state is now representative And you should hear him-is he argumentative?

Bernard Wolcott-a professional escort is his lot: But for love, he says, No! Never! And Not! Vince Zimmerman's surely made his markg With his gift of gab he's put Winchell in the dark And now I suppose 'tis time to end this nonsense, I know this poetry surely makes no sense: But then it wasn't my purpose to be a Muse- But only you-when you read this-to amuse. I'd like to say to all-I meant no oifenseg And I hope that when you read this ten years hence It will help to bring back many a school-day thought. If such a purpose it does serve-it has done that which it ought.

CLASS PROP!-IECV Oh, my! What a heartsick feeling I knew When, for my assignment, this prophecy I drew. CYou, too, will probably have the same feeling, though, When you read the poor poetry written below.J Of coLu'se, NOW I know everyone in the class- But, the problem is-to know them after twenty years pass. In my dilemna I went to a gorgeous Gipsy girl, And the things she told me left my head all a-whirl. She, in Gipsy iinery was really lovely to behold. But, I'l1 admit in that mysterious setting I was far from bold. Upon some mercenary persuasion, she gazed into that crystal ball, And you'll be surprised-the things she told of you ALL! Starting with Jean Abbott, said she: Jean's name twenty years hence starts with 'B', She has children, home and husband-that's ampleg But-alack and alas!-she'd like to chuck it and do the Big App1e ! I see a sweet, gentle nurse-to many, a real god-send, Ah, yes! you know her-bless her heart-she was once Jean Aumend. I find an author-a writer of jokes by the peck, He wrote them when in school, too-you guessed him-Maurice Beck. And, oh! You should see Junior Bowerman irunning the farm nowl, Why, they play sweet serenades while milking a cow! Did you know Einstein's been having help lately? And his mathematical assistant's none other than Bernard Cately. Rosella Chamberlin's fame now extends afar, , For she is the wife of a pro-football star. There's a new black-face comedian who's causing a din- You remember him-oh, yes!-Leo Chamberlin. The president of the Umpah Ump Company has on his salary bill The name of a now successful secretary-Ivah Churchill. And now, Bob Clay doesn't go by his rustic name, For it's as a machinist he has won his fame. Our only old maid is Jeanette Connor, Raising dogs is now her only honor. Bill Cox made his mark as a grocery clerk, When it comes to courtesy, he doesn't shirk. Emma Jane Crisman's purse is swollen beyond all others, By rewards for an invention for torturing little brothers. A new book on how to rear your daughter and son Has recently appeared-the author's Alice Davidson. Ahoy! Bernard Dewey is now the successor To Admiral G. Dewey, his predecessor. In New York the most popular model now to be found Is lovely Lois Ernst-her success is renowned. Wendell Falor is one of the most successful farmers around, Honors for the best corn and horses to him abound. Helen Fashbaugh is giving herself a new reputation, Right now, writing books is her dissipation. Red Grange, DiMaggio, Joe Louis-their reputations are surpassed By Dick Fraker's all-around athletic ability they were blast! The next name is Mable Fuller Cvery appropriatelyl, I see she has been writing Advice to the Lovelorn lately. Merwyn Griesinger is in the West on a lecture trip- His subject is How to Lose Enemies and Not Aifect Birds -and it's a p1p ! Franklin Guthrie is now swinging out jazz, He's the leader of a band that's really raz-ma-taz ! Th-ere's only one platinum blond remaining of old, And that's Kathryn Harmon-a pleasure to behold! Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is being remade, My goodness-Clair Hines is Bashful rand being well paidl. Out of our class we have a factory worker-Joe Kistner, And 'tis said to sweet nothings he's still a good list'ner. A school teacher's salary may sometimes be lean, But not that of the one I see-Ilah Klopfenstein. There's another married woman in our midst-Norma Lindau, 'Tis said her husband before her rolling-pin do-th bow! Sixteen
