SENIOR PROPHECY Behold! And look! Offhand we see these things! In threefold ranks imagination brings The sight of all the future. Gaze! Behold! And shiver at the things herein foretold! A. D.1935 We hear wild tales of county jails Sheriffed by Poly guys, And the wildest of all are of Herbert Kaul, Ray Conlon and William Weiss. And locked within, for a capital sin Is Joe Murakami, “The Killer,” And Arthur Morgan and Eleanor Horgan (Bootlegs) and Bob Escamilla. In quite a contrasting trade, with fasting, Mm-nuns, in fact—we read Of Junie Speck and Edith Quick; And a priest is Carroll Snead. In married bliss, with naught amiss, The following girls have gone: Adolphine Kearns and Dotty Ahern, Claire Castle and Vivian Vaughn. For the spouse of each young pippin and peach, Just gaze right down this line: Dave Lund, Del Shearman and Lifschiz (Herman), And Frances Adelstein. Movies for sure held a mighty lure For Vertress Vander Hoof; With a name like that and a slick plug hat Any star could raise the roof. Lee I.inwood, the peach, promenades the beach, Demonstrating “Peck’s Permanent Waver,” And Jack Rosenkind was saved from the brine By Milt Roesner, a bold life saver. Now, a male quartet that’s a dud, you bet, Claims the following kids of class: Bill Demartini, L. Tognazz.ini, Jack Perry and Albert Haas. Gunnar Johannsen continues his prancin’ Teaching R. O. T. C.; And Reginald Krieger is living most meager— A poor, begging pauper is he. Polytechnic Page Twenty-seven

Young Clayton Horn was just simply born To trip off the light fantastic, He’ll dance night and day at the Stoffel cafe, Bernice Windt is his partner gymnastic. Now Marion Brune’s a dealer in prunes, Pickles, parsnips, and also persimmons; Ray Smith and Ralph Quast are exceedingly “fahst”, And are said to be death on the wimmins! Washington Lacabanne works a moving van, Financed by one Billy Lum; Adele Kleinklaus grows plants in a hothouse; Carl Miller performs on the drum. Joe Johnson and Harry play melodies airy Upon their old saxophones; Gardner Judah sells books, gets by on his looks; Jack Hall peddles drugs for Sloans. Evelyn Cuneo got slightly looney, so Dorothy Nelson’s her guard; A chef is Bob Healy; at typing now really Ruth Sellman works most awfully hard. Dick Fuidge climbed high, he now flies in the sky, An aviator is he; Sam Slavin, a waiter; Jack Rhodes is his greater, The guy in the dress suit is he. A dealer in fish is the boy called Paul Fritsch; Rodney George sells apples beside him; Henry Tschopp tumbles still, and Bert Wolfsohn the pill Is a dentist—but still why deride him? Back on the farm, far removed from all harm Are Charles Heller and Stafford Briggs; Selma Lasky debates, Carl Schmidt plays the fates, He tells fortunes at all of the jigs. George Grunig plays golf during all his days off; Leland Crichton plays soccer yet; Marie Haub is a nurse, Ruth Chambers is worse, For she is a bold suffragette. Fidencio Barona sells steak and bologna; And Alphonse Beltramo delivers; Frank Daily’s a major; Ray Edlin, we’ll wager Invents new attachments for flivvers. Page Twenty-eight Polytechnic
