Senior Prophecy Suddenly one day out of the blue An inspiration came, You may not want to listen But you'll hear it all the same: When Midge left Roycemore's hallowed halls She went to Russia's party brawls. She said she made herself that promise When first she heard of Norman Thomas. Mary Anderson went to sea With tackle and tarpaulin, She said she surely hoped that she Would catch a great Blue Marlin. In the soothing quiet of genteel halls Our Libby sits at ease. With dainty flowered needlework She says she aims to please. Sally spends all day at home Over the frying pan. She says she's proud of her husband 'Cause he's such a Andy -man. Above the clicking eastanets And greasy gamblers making bets, The rhumba dancer, 'mid the gale Of wide skirts, swings-and-there is Dale! Avie's got a true life work, Naught but perfection will please her. Because she's writing, in Latin, of course, The Life and Loves of Caesar. Betsy's our first ladyg She married Willkie's song She got her experience making Our Student Government run. Courtney's face on bill-boards now Is able to be seen. She's working hard for Lucky Strike, The Nation's Cigarette Queen. page I0 Nancy Drake's the quiet one- She never giggles, doesn't rung lt's not because she's on the fence: She believes in Passive Resistance. Poor Caroline Ericson! She saw So many photos she became A candid-camera addict whose Startling pictures gained her fame. Prim Darlene Foley order keeps, She stays alert and cool. One must, you know, she said to us When one runs a girl's school. Poor Martha Harbrecht! One could weep' She never had her fling: A fussy, tea-drinking Old Maid, Disturbed by everything. Liz Ferguson opened up a shop Intending to specialize- It's called Betty's Beauty Shoppe- Specialty: Hair Dyes. The hockey-balls are flying 'round, 'Butt janet Ingram does not stir. Intrepid janet gives no ground: Athletic Director. Her dreamy eyes and rosebud lips Are often to be seen, For Cary johnson is a Star Upon the silver screen. Marg E. johnston got tamed down, She grows Delphiniums out of town On her little country farm Where she can't do any harm. Connie sleeps through every meeting Of the Senate, which she rules. She always knows what's happening: Good training of our Roycemore Schools ROYCEMORE GRIFFIN

just a gay butterfly, Nothin' is doin', Let's guess who this may be- . Nancy McKewen. joy is Rivera's scholar Painting murals for a dollar. Though her prices aren't for surplus, Her murals have a Social Purpose. When you unfold the Morning News, Look to the funnies first, and choose The best-drawn one, and now you see That it is done by Peg Magie! Shirley Mellor's kindly wit Relieved her of her worries, She's writing little sunny books And also, Children's Stories. Molly with her Southern drawl Keeps on saying, Oh, you-all, Right back whence she came, no doubt, Totin' a gun around-about. janet dyed her red hair black, just so she can say, I'm janetska Richardsonovitch Of the Roosian Ballet. Comrade Ryan throws a bomb With the greatest of aplomb. For she's an Anarchist now, Likes to help in any row. Guess what! In 1955 Our Arlee Rue, no other, Became a shining symbol: America's Ideal Mother! Helen teaches in a lab. From her pupils she exacts All the answers,-'cause she knows All the Scientific Facts. joan likes the South American Way, Because she likes to dance and play. She also likes to play and sing. Shh! joany's got a wedding ring. Sully's gone to Hollywood Because her figure,s so darn good. When asked how she became so slinky Sully said, My diet's dinky. Teasley's in her element, Leads the lads with gracious hand- She's wife of Princeton's President, In Tigertown, University Land. Virginia's supple fingers O'er the keys do trill. She's with a hot blues orchestra, Giving jazz a thrill. My inspiration stopped here, And so I never knew just what the future holds for me, And, luckily, neither will you.
