Herein lies the tale of many persons strong and true. Some are politicians, others housewives thru and thru Some are famous circus people, others have a Ph. D. It has all been written in fun for the Senior Prophecy. Principal Chuck Beaver in the R. H. S. rules with glee Inspired and beloved by his wife Vella Lee. Respectively courted by many hut alas Finally she wed a member of her own class. In a small neighboring town the Phil Wood clan lives I he 1 ucky wife is—just one guess we ll give. Why Pauline Tonner of course whom in school days we knew Sang at all public functions hut now there’s baking to do. I he cities bright lights flash two familiar names Kay Clodfelter and Bett Carton have risen to fame. 1 here s jolly Helen Kanne, a blushing young bride Of a prominent Wabash doctor, who stands at her side. l or Joe Smith there is versatile fame We recall athletic ability along with his name. He s tops as a coach for at dear old Notre Dame 1 lis and Bob Ely s teams are above shame. Paul Myers is a salesman for the Ford V8 firm. He does pretty well, hut Elmer Lashbrook (the Worm) Offers still competition with his super-bus eight For alas and a day, his car holds ten dates. 1 lartman, Anderson, Amsler, McDonald, a fine or- chestra make Aw ay from Jack Benny, they’ve taken the cake. Spurgeon, Rowen, Timmons, Zillhart, a fine female quartet Have stolen away Ina Ray Hutton’s pep. Martha Scheurich, Ida Moosmiller, and Lola McCoy I lave all wed, each a very handsome boy. Herman Nagel, Louis Nagel and Herman Reed, in order they took. Now little Nagels and Reeds fill every classroom and nook. Beau Brummel Shirer, with that Clark Gable look Has entered the movies, a star doomed to he. George Tudor’s his chauffeur, Mary Herr’s his chief cook. While Mildred Blaze and Ceil Abbott occupy first-maid’s nook. Betty Bausman Morion and (Mrs.) Donald Webb With their exploring husbands are in some foreign stead. Edward Sayler, and Don Shumaker, are our big financiers I hough their taxes and their house rent are far in arrears. Millicent Rose, a swell Latin teacher did make I ill Carl Jordan came and his love she did take. Editor Brushnahan of the Evening Sun has been sued. Because she would not publish Ethel Sage’s novel, The Dude.” A hospital dietician is our own Gwendolyn Platt. She has tested so much food she is now very fat. Dorothy Martin, no occupation could she take For her demand as a bridesmaid is really quite great. Betty and Geneva Yeoman in a famous trapeze act With their bouncers Taylor and Ray Brown, nothing do they lack. With their business managers Bachelder and Barlow Their s is a life of great grief and awful sorrow. Philip Fisher and D Maris Haniford lor the good old Monon toil. While Lois Kingman and Ethely n Hamer their lovely wives do boil. For many a time there s a week, two or three Before they get a vacation and a good old spree. Louise Harding and Vivian Jacks a swanky dress shop do run Their best models lone Overton and Sara Karnowsky get a neat sum Emma J. Eldridge a seamstress of noted linality Makes designer Gilmore s dreams a reality. Boh Walter, Glen Stalh and Bill McEUrcsh a chicken farm run Austin Moore is janitor of the place, (the old bum) He sweeps up the dirt from a floor with such pace 1 hat makes Preacher Dean Johnson ashamed of his race. Melba Peach, Lila Pullin, M. E. Rockwell, our politicians Arc wondering why their hair s turning gray. They’re leading campaigner’s for this year’s election To make Jack Carman judge of this section. Harley Bufkin, the old slicker, is full of remorse For his Dodge was stolen and he now rides a horse. This ends the Prophecy for the class of 38 . I’m sure you’ll agree that it ranks first-rate.
