. fat LEGENDE PROPI-IECY, CLASS OF '27 Round about the caldron go, In the poison'd entrails throw. Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Swelter'd venon sleeping got, Boiled thou first in the charmed pot. Fillet of a funny snake. In the caldron boil and bake, Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog. Adder's fork and blind worm's sting, Lizard's leg and awlet's wing, For a charm of powerful t1'ouble Like a hell broth boil and bubble. Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf, Witches mummy, maw of gulf Of the rain's salt sea shark, Root of hemlock digg'd in the dark. Liver of blaspheming Jew. Gall of goat and slips of yew Silver'd in the moon's eclipse. Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips. Finger of birth-spank babe Ditch-delivered by a drag, Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger's chaudron For the ingredients of our caldron Double, double, toil and trouble Fire burn, and caldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good. -Sll!lfx'l'81l6Ul'C. I D! ll 1 Before we left our gypsy camp Mother' Rawlins danced around the caldron and forsaw our futures in mists of steam which issued from this concoction. When Louise went to see Mother Rawlins she learned that she would be a fam- ous musician. Olive dancing through the woods came upon the camp when Mother Rawlins was at the caldron. The second mist held Olive's future. She will be the president of an old m'aid's meeting. The next to visit the mystic caldron were Marjorie and Beryl. They heard a strange muttering which they discovered was Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble. A mist appeared visible only to the eyes of our wise prop- hetess who told Marjorie that she would be a society queen in London and would enter- tain lavishly for one of our tribe. It must be Beryl because another mist appeared which foretold that Beryl would be Secretary of Labor and be sent to London.

LECENDE Ta . held for her, she learned that she would be a novelist. The vision showed her receiv- ing word of the success of her first book. Some of our band will wend their way through college. Clouds of mist pictur- ed Della occupying a chair in Smith college as a professor of Latin. The chair of Mathematics shall be filled by Eunice, another of our tribe. Happy-go-lucky George visited the mystic caldron and learned that he was destined to become famous in Histori- cal Research. We hope that he will enjoy history better than he does now. The vapor mists were escaping fast when Myrtle went to learn her destiny. She will lead a merry life until she leads a more serious one teaching Physics in R. C. H. S. John sauntered along not caring much about his future. But a mist foretold that he would be a great statesman if he was a bachelor. It will be strange if he does not discover the key to some charming ladies' heart. Laughingly, Mary heard her fate. She will be a nurse, following in the foot- steps of Clara Barton. Two others entered the camp at the same time. One was Thelma who will make a promising financier, the other was a Ward. He will fall heir to an English estate. Both will do much for the camp where we spent four good years of our lives. The Siamese Twins will be separated. A mist placed Frances in Hollywood, a movie star. The last mist is for Geraldine. She will remain in Roodhouse and raise a family of true American citizens. We predict she will be most contented. -EUNICE GILLHAM. The roll did call, we answered all For all sixteen were there, And we're the ones who've always tried To do our every share. Now all sixteen and one and all Right loyal girls and fellows And each does strive to earnestly Uphold the whites and yellows. With all sixteen and every one So loyal and so true, To make of ours a banner class Decided we would do. Class pride had we and 'twas our aim, Victorious to seem In every sport and every game To rout the enemy. Thus have we worked and played With thoughts of great success To leave kind thoughts of '27 To those of R. H. S. Page Twenty-fou 1'
