Senior C161 SS Poem. NS NY NS The Freshie sat upon a desk, He could not help but hear, And thus spake up that wisest man, The knowing wise Senior. I only wish to tell to you, The Senior then spake forth, Of trials hard and troubles great, And prove to you our worth. For four long years we've toiled together 'Mid sorrow, joy and pain, But when we're out into the world We'll all our victories gain. Our teachers we most truly love, And owe them all a debt. That all this great world's joys Can't force us to forget. We came in quest of wisdom, We always, always read, In many different kinds of books Of heroes long since dead. Oh, then shall we, the class '15, Step out upon Life's stage. And make the old school famous With battles that we wage. When sailing down Life's golden stream, And our future shines with light, We won't forget a classmate Whose fortune's not so bright. The Freshie felt like some one stunned, And was of sense forlorn, A sadder and a wiser man He rose Commencement morn. GWENDOLYN ARTHUR, '

genius who will develope from our classmate. A piece of paper larger than most of them had a line burnt nearly across it. Below was written: Remove all lines. Gwendolyn is to have the fate of becoming a beauty doctor. Arthur's Hair Tonic will be her gift to the world. Ifound an Easter Card shaped like a cross, which simply said, To Velma. A woman and a cross make me think of a nun, so that will be Velma's life work, which will be nun the worse for having her. This next one proved interesting. A red paper burnt in the shape of a heart, on which was the head of a beautiful woman. A. K. was artistically written near the bottom of said heart. So Helene, our class beauty, will still pose for artist Sally, altho 'twill soon be in a place far superior to the physics laboratory. Part of a paper proved to be a certificate giving Prudence the right to teach. She certainly will make a good teacher, because she is the kind of a girl children easily learn to love. Another business card read: Sarah Lenox, Voice Culture, Rolla High School. With the new building will come new studies, and Sarah will fill the above position. The figure of a ship completely filled the next piece of paper. For sev- eral moments I could find no connection between this and any member of our class. Then I knew that Sam will be a navy officer, and one of whom we all may be proud. Thru a letter I learned that Clara will soon become desperate, and in the fear of being an old maid, will start a matrimonial bureau. Red headed people are usually successful. After a little further search I found the last slip of paper. It seemed to be different from the rest. It gave me a queer sensation as I beheld on it the mystical figure of a beautiful woman, seemingly in a trance. Then in an instant it dawned upon me that our Class President, Dixie, was to be a seeress. Great events of the world she will foretell, and many are the souls who will be grateful to her for her wisdom and knowledge. DIXIE HARRIS, '15. 5' X TZ Za ' f Yr Q2 in -KX X A f
