For foreign lands one will depart To live a while close to nature's heart And bring back statistics which will show How plants and herbs of those regions grow; This brave one you all have met For 'tis none other than Violet. Roy tho’ silent, reserved and still Has a place which none else can fill. He like a bird shall fly in the air And win many a prize at carnival and fair. For Elizabeth so gay and free A pleasant lot in life we see A friend of many, disliked by none A loving wife in a happy home. She so gentle and demure Tis Louisa you may be sure. A neat stenographer will be, Oh! none can work as swift as she. To strive for honors which ne’er will come Is perforce the lot of some. But not for William who 'tis clear Will be a civil engineer. A lawyer quick and clever too To win many cases and lose but few, One whom many will patronize Tis none, but Audrey could be so wise. Lovers of music will come far to hear The playing of one who ever sincere In her work, great success will attain And win glory and a world-wide fame For Margaret, when with home teachers through In other lands shall her studies pursue. In a bright and sunny room Where many plants and flowers bloom Among the children at study and play Florence and Eugenie will work each day. It will sometime be our pleasure to hear Catheryn with voice sweet and clear As large audiences she sways Both with her words and her winning ways; But this only will she not do, She will endeavor to teach others too. Now, classmates, this tale is ended, I pray you none will be offended; If you like not some things I’ve said Pray think of others in their stead; The race of life has just begun, So let us count with each setting sun An onward step toward the goal which we seek, When with our long sought success we shall meet. F. R.

CLASS I Listen, my classmates and you shall hear, The voice of the prophet sounding near. As in accents clear it is borne to me From the far-off years that are yet to be, This prophet travels on wings so fleet, That he sees all things which we are to meet. And methinks he oft laughs as he hears us plan Things for the future, which come, never can. And he ofttimes is sad, when instead of the joy ‘Tis sorrow he sees for some girl or boy; But to me no inkling of sorrow or woe Comes to dim the happiness of those whom I know. So here, each in turn, I will tell the fate Which will come as you journey either early or late. So, with Alfred will I first begin,— List to the prophet concerning him, He to the sick will give much pain But only to make them well again. Ah! a surgeon 'tis plain you see This clever one is destined to be. Tis next of Lorraine that we hear; Before a crowd she doth appear; High on a platform this figure tall Speaks, and a hush reigns over all: For you my sisters, I’m here tonight To trample the wrong and uphold the right. A Speaker she, of great renown Whom we are proud to call our own. PROPHECY Two shall gladden the hearts of men, One by her voice, the other with pen. Marian a great singer will be While Leona will write poetry. Into the depths of the ocean deep To waken the creatures from their sleep And find out things the world does not know, Adelbert so daring and brave will go. Now look pleasant and do not frown, Sit up straight and look not down. Silence—it's over and the one whom we heard Speaking so gently, is Gertrude Steinberg. 'Tis next Irene whom we see In the pulpit, a minister she; But instead of the sermon what does she say? “A missionary will talk to-day, A missionary from Africa,” She introduces Miss Mina Fach, Who talks to them of that heathen land And urges many to join her band. Of the next one these words tell the story, “As the father so shall the son be” This is Lyman whom we all know, In business matters is not slow.
