The Prophecy of the Clas Some folks as I've noticed in pleasure and strife, Are always expecting too much out of life. But we are a happy, contented, good crowd And are ready to hear the prophecy aloud. Our Joe Borzilleri is first on the list- As leader of Tammany Hall he'll exist. Next is Mildred Frank, so quiet, so sublime, She'll be a director of the Fredonia Air Bus Line. Blanche Johnson, as an author, her fame will win By writing such books as, How to Get Thin. While Harriet Mason so talented and neat s of 1926 Will fashion tailored clothes for wear upon the street. There is a music-girl, Doris Perham, by name, Who, as Padereski's rival, will win her fame. Joyce Secomib with her sweet little face Will soon be Librarian, taking Mr. Sitterley's.place. Velma Stebbins, I thought, would be a preacher But time finds her helping Mr. Jewett as Economics teacher. Another music-girl is little Alice Walters Who will lead a fine choir and sing from the psalters. Blanche Davis her teaching career will soon stop And help a young man set up an electrical shop. Mildred Allen, who in Brocton is a resident, Will honor us by being the first woman president. Allene Cowan will lead a most interesting life, As head of a matrimonial bureau she'l1 end many Kay Hall, so sweet and giggly, queen of queens, Will earn a royal livelihood by eating jelly-beans Naomi Johnson, as good as all golden rules, a strife. Will surely become Superintendent of the New York City schools. Marian Mossman, so little and lithe, Will be a ballet-dancer the rest of her life. While Newton Rundell, so patient, will be known To lead many musicians with a golden saxophone. 21 Janet Skinner will prove herself wise and prudent By spending the rest of her days as a college-student. A girl sweet and sincere is Olive Tanner, She'll be a poet-because of her manner. For Evelyn Wuerstle I see a varied life- She'1l start as a debater and end with married life. Caroline Anderson, as swift and busy as a bee, Will surprise us by being an Explorer of the Sea. Our tiny Gladys Davidson, as steady as a clock, Will discover a serum for prevention of electrical shock. Maurice Hammond with teeth like shining pearls Will dedicate his life to reforming Normal girls. Frances Little, with her tiny, shapely hand, Will distinguish herself as leader of a novelty Jazz-band. Alice Nelson is an artistic little lassie, As an interior decorator she'll be called classie. Smiling Polly Rykert will do many wonderful things, Like teaching princesses to sew and playing chess with kings. Rhena Snell by rights should be an Opera-singer, But as a tight-rope walker she'll be a humdinger. With her school-work Marian Tyler is never bored, But in later years she'll be a globe-trotter in her Ford. Mabel Carlson has shown us she would rather cook, Than teach little tots to read from a book. As a comedienne Mary Haag will shine, And with dukes and duchesses she'll dine. Florence Merle, another musical shark, As conductor of the Cleveland Symphony makes her mark. When we arrive in New York from the fashion review, We'll go to Mabel Roberts Tea Shop on Fifth Avenue. As an historian LaVon Johnson is a success, So, for the class, I wish her health and happiness. Because of her ability and sunny disposition, Yetta Shulinson will be the leader of a very fine home-mission Doreen Sondell, so piquant and petite, Will some day be seen upon the Silver Sheet. 22 As a dealer in antiques, Frances Wilsie will be, Well-known and famous in every land and sea. Anthony Borzilleri, a Very fine student is he, He'll go away to college and get a high degree. Ruth Bentley will change her mind about teaching, And clerk in the Five and Ten, sure as I'm preaching. As author of Philosophy of Love Gen Himebaugh will win, Even more fame than the noted Elinor Glynn. To Marian Lynch our praises are due, She alone to the teaching profession is true. Domicela Nowacki, a Hne girl is voted, But as a criminal lawyer she will be noted. For Bill Schliecker Fate has a surprise in store. He will teach BluHing for ten years or more. For Andrea Sondell, work will never cease, Till she gives up teaching and is Justice of Peace. Dorothy Vaill, not long ago, to Towne did change her name, With a little practice, as a cook will win her fame. Another politician, followed by a band- As Mayor of Dunkirk comes sweet Edith Brand. For this little girl there are many things to do, But as a fat lady in a show will end our Jeanette Frew. Qui.et Dorothy Johnson, who wished to fatten her purse, Will take up bacteriology and get a job as a nurse. Frances Keating is a fine teacher, I hear, And has a position at Columbia next year. Evelyn McCallum is short-not too tall, She will teach special dancing steps at the Elk's ball. Now comes Judson Pierpont-get ready for a thrill. He'll be a boot-legger, with a wonderfully popular still. Next we see Mop Eddy-we know he'll never fail. He's an A-No. 1 dry agent on poor Judson's trail. Esther Seibel, sweet, sarcastic, a mystery to all, Will pay homage to none-but a certain golf-ball. An energetic business-woman in our ranks I see- Ruth Strawser has prospered and bought the Ford Company Tall Betty Wilcox, so moody, so dear, Will soon be a kindergarten critic right here. 23 Busy Marie Boos with a voice sweet as honey, Will be Galli Curci's rival and make lots of money. Next comes Hollis Fisher, a music-girl she should be, But we will find her as a hostess at Newport-by-the-Sea. Vera Himeline, responsible, staunch and true, Ought to be the editor of the Pictorial Review. Isabelle Martin, always talking, never solemn, Will conduct for the Censor a heart-to-heart column. Marguerite O'Neill, so peppy and so sweet, Will make a fortune with her pretty dancing feet. Dorothy Pemberton, sure of all her Bridge rules, Will be the leading advocate of playing Bridge in school. Irene Scholl is a lucky girl, I'm sure we'll all agree, For in a year or two, the bride of Jud she'll be. Hattie Stanley has plenty of ambition, With the next president she'll have a fine position. Musical Dorothy Waller of a company is the star. She'll have a reputation that reaches near and far. Clara Allenza, because of her line references. Will be our delegate to the next Peace Conference. Pretty Eileene Daily, the talkative Irish maid, For telling stories to children soon will be very well paid. Lovely, Winsome Mabel Hall, Will be the prize-beauty at the Senior Ball. Rupert Reeves has settle down, From a Buffalo Bill to a circus clown. Interesting, lively Arlene Murray, Will build cathedrals in a hurry. We have a missionary among our ranks, Paul Ruttenbur will teach Hottentots certain F. N, S. pranks. Arlene Smith Eigme has this year changed her name, But as champion marathon, she'll win her fame. Dorothy Keating has such beautiful eyes, That she and a friend will be shut up as spies. Marguerite Turner will soon live in Buffalo, And be the star announcer for the Federal radio. Miss Gertrude Zaar, I know, I've often sat beside her, Will be with Barnum and Bailey as their best bare-back rider 24 In five years or more Miss Frances Baron Will be a model on which fine gowns are shown. I hear Verna Dodge has a very nice man, But she'll give him up to lead the Klu Klux Klan. Caroline Healy toward teaching still leans And finishes her career in the Philippines. Lively and small is little Helen Lord, But she'll make a car better than a Ford. As long as Lavina Neibel is full of joy and mirth She'll be an elocutionist and travel 'round the earth. Emeline Sandbloom has a charm so very rare, That she'll be happy as the wife of a millionaire. For George Snyder's future, I can only guess, He'll be a noted designer for fashionable ladies' dress. Mildred Uhl and a few of her chums Will do Social Service work in New York slums. Lillian Rich Johnson similarly said, Yes, The rest of the story is easy to guess. To beat Helen Burns you'll have to go some- She'1l make her fortune by testing new gum. Esther Green loves hair-dressing 'tis said But she'll give that up for dear little Ed. A member of Congress Edith Johnson will be And fight for the blue laws and real equality. Autumn McManus, finer than the finest laces Will go around the world sewing smiles on people's faces. Strong'Katherine Fradenburg, sturdy and sane Will be the first woman-commander of a navy airplane. Helen Sherman wins much by being so persistant. N For in a year or two she'll be a dentist's assistant. Eileen Sullivan will teach only for a year or two Then she'll be a lion-tamer in the Silver Creek Zoo. Irene Wilcox so slender and tall, Will be basket-ball coach at Normal next fall. Now life as we view it means pleasure and fun, And laughter, and singing, some sadness, more sun. So whether this prophecy rings false or true, We're ready to forget it and start something new. Angelene Keller 25 President's Address Classmates, Members of the Faculty, Fellow Students, Guests: As we are about to complete our work in Fredonia Normal School the future begins to take on an aspect of reality and we are led to speculate as to what service we may be to society and as to what our present equipment is. As I was considering a theme several ideas occurred to me which seemed worth While for us to consider. Each had possibilities of its own but all were conducive of one in common, that was thought, and its relation to ourselves. It we can get people to form the habit of thinking they will be enabled to gain more pleasure and profit from life for themselves and they will be useful to society instead of being hindrances. Everything is conducive of thought if we Will but stop in our rush for material gain long enough to think. It is true that today we have more things to do with and to amuse ourselves with than ever before and our time is quite well taken up, but it seems to me that thought offers about as great possibilities for constructive gain as anything which is possible for every one of us. Through thought we increase our appreciation of the higher and better things of life. For example: I believe if we would all spend twice as much time on one book and read only half as many, and think of what we read, that we would get more value from our reading. We have examples of thinkers here with us at all times, and I am sure we all admire them. All people do not think the same, but if one will only take the time, thought has possibilities of being a pleasant and profitable occupation. Good, clear thinking is a necessary attri- bute in performing the duty of a teacher. Muddled brains cannot teach others to think: Another idea that seems worth while is cooperation. I want to thank the class for this spirit which has been shown in matters per- taining to class activities. I also want to thank you for the privilege and honor of being class president for three years. I want to thank, in behalf of the class, the members of the faculty for their kind and helping attitude. It will be a long time before we forget the many pleasant experiences and friends we have met in our three years in Fredonia. In closing I hope we can continue to carry out the spirit of con- sideration for others which is present here in this school and I hope this Senior Day will be pleasant to you all. JUDSON PIERPONT, Class President. 26 Class Poem 1926 Our school life's meant much more to us Than lessons we have learned Than knowledge that we've stored away Or letters we may have earned. It isn't the honors or classmarks That welve gathered along the way, Nor the petty dissolutions That we remember to-day. But, the things that will stay with us And each year grow more dear Are the happy times, and the many friends That we have gathered here. Life after all is far too short To learn all we should know But there's always time to make a friend Or enjoy one as we go. Our school has given us her best, We'll carry her good work thru' And when others claim her we will say She's my Alma Mater, too. May our school day book of memories Harbor all the truths we're taught And the future that's before us Hold the treasure that it ought. OLIVE L. TANNER 27 History of Class of '26 PROLOGUE Three years of work and play, and then There's life to face, we'll face it glowingly, But ah! these three swift years will be well filled. Then we'll look back knowingly Upon ourselves as Hrst we entered here, The portals, Alma Mater, welcomed gladly, We were untried, unproven, hopes and fears. To realize half joyfully half sadly. CANTO I. Three years ago, the old refrain is told. We were so young, but felt so old. VVe tested all that Norn1al'i life could hold, Those first strange days at Fredonia. We were proud of our colors, so new and bright. Entrusted to us so solemnly one night. The blue and gold to us were just right. That first glad year at Fredonia. CANTO II. Juniors! with soberer tasks to be done, A harder stretch of the race to be run, But we played and we worked, and we had our fun Tlwas a happy year at Fredonia. We planned and we toiled, our marks to raise, Some brought us censure, some brought us praise. There were social events, many happy days, Which hastily fled at Fredonia. 28 CANTO III. Serious our faces, when first we bore The proud title of Senior, we'd been striving for. And all the while it had meant more and more. As we worked and played at Fredonia, But our final goal we have yet to gain, Under life's heavier tasks we will train. And carry on the torch which was set aHarne. At the Hre which glows at Fredonia. EPILOGUE Three years of work and play, And now Life faces us. We answer her call gladly, These three swift years, thou hast prepared us here And should We face life sadly? We leave thy well loved portals, Fredonia fair, Into a world we go, our heads held highg With deep assurance of a future blessed by theeg And courage in our hearts to do or die. LA VON JOHNSON 29 Class Song 1926 Words and Music by Mary Haag. 1. To our school, our Alma Mater We soon must say farewell But always thru the long years Will we her praises tell. Chorus: Dear Alma Mater-School of happy days, You are the one school we'll remember always. Oh! dear Fredonia Normal-Our youthful pride- The Class of '26 stands always true to your side. II. In your halls of work and play Loyal friends we have found. Hearkenl while our voices Your loving praises sound. fChorusJ Marching Song Music-D. M. Wallerg Words-O. L. Tanner. l I Happy days we've spent together in work and play With lots of smiles thru all the miles we've sped along the way Chorus: So to you our dear own Alma Mater, We, your children will elre be true While our guiding star above us Is shining white and blue. II. Always clear we'll keep our purpose, strong, clear and bright Lets give a cheer while we are here for our cause and the right. 30 CChorusD Class VU ill Know all-men by these presents, that we, the Senior Class of 1926 of the Fredonia Normal School, in the county of Chautauqua, and State of New York, considering the uncertainty of life and being of sound mind and memory do make, declare, and publish this, our last Will and Testament. First-We direct that all our cafeteria and library debts be paid also our funeral expenses by the Junior Class for they seem to have all the money. Second-We leave to the Juniors the honored privilege of looking after the Freshmen. See to it that no harm befall them. Stick close to them. Guard their tottering footsteps in order that they do not bump their heads against the steps of fame. Follow the example set by us and your way will then be smooth and you will be qualified to be called sedate Seniors. Cast away all frivolity, assume a serious mien, uphold the name and then the Alumni will be proud of you. Third-To all under classes, we do give and bequeath our set of formulas for excuses, trusting that these excuses may prove as useful to them as they have proved to certain members of our class. We would warn you only to use tact and judgment in your selection. Fourth-We leave the privilege of dancing the modern dances in the gymnasium. Fifth-To the Freshmen and anyone else that made need it a guide that you may be able to find your classroom before the second bell. Sixth-To the hikers we bequeath a lantern fthe one used by that ancient historical Creek you have read aboutj that they be able to find their way back next time they got lost in the wilds of Chautauqua County. Seventh-To the Freshmen class, that serious and dignified body of whom we see so much, yet hear so little, we bequeath the privilege of continuing its diet of pretzels and milk and of hoping to gain by that means our astonishing cerebral capacity. By the way, it may be added that some of the Juniors, judging by the absence of certain qualities, may well afford to follow those instructions. Not that it would do any good, but at least they will know for certain that there are no hopes for them. Eighth-To all the right to use the reception reason during the lunch hour as a meeting place for foursomes, duets and so forth. This will save walking up and down the halls, entering recitations rooms and 31 other places. The statue of Abraham Lincoln will be moved there to act as chaperone. If that does not suflice a sign will be placed where it is easily seen on which will be written, Let your conscience be your guide, if you have any. Ninth-To the Juniors the right and privilege to mark your own grade in Dr. Manzers classes. Juniors here is one time when you must not underrate yourself. Whatever mark you think you ought to get multiply it by your house number and add to it your age. This will enable you to get through. Freshmen if you hear of numerous Juniors moving further up the street, you need not wonder why, you will know. Tenth-To the English Two classes, a bottle of glue so that they may have unity and coherence in their class meetings and in their debates. Eleventh-The class as a whole requests that Ed. Cavanaugh give his well known laugh Cif it can be called a laugh? to Chester Barber, in order that he come into prominence, since it has served its purpose with Cavvy. Different members of the Senior Class have bequeathed to certain individuals of the other classes divers rights, requests, information and so forth, which are as follows: Paul Ruttenbur bequeaths to Herman Hawkins all rights both home and foreign, patents, and all royalties to his latest dance step called the 'fGliding Gallop Newton Rundell wished that Ed. Herrmann take the baa used in the Farce of the Worth Master back to the sheep when he goes home in Milwalkee His red tie he leaves to Doris McDonald to keep in memory the fact that he was after all true to her in spite of the part he played in Cinderella Married. George Snyder leaves all the girls in the art department in care of the only other man in that department, Ellis Gould. George hopes that Ellis will keep up the good work and that he will not mix too much perspective with his deep sea stories. Mop Eddy leaves his Olive in care of the best long distance walker in school. He requests that a contest be held under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Manzer to determine the fortunate one. William Schliecker leaves his job of delivering flowers to any fresh- man who can prove himself capable of appreciating beauty in buds and flowers, both tall and short, both in and out of school. Esther Green and Madge Newton do not leave anything material, but they do wish that no one else take their places in the forsome. 32 Verna Dodge and Carlyn Anderson bequeath their fur coats, gulashes and ear muffs to any needy freshman-iirst come first served. They anticipate warmer regions so will have no further use for them. Maurice Hammond leaves his art of telling stories to anyone who can keep a straight face while telling one. His last words were, let me tell you the one about the big parade. Heard it last night at the Stock- ton Department Store. You ought to have been there. There is bequeathed by some one of the Senior Class to Natalie Antz a stick of gum a day for the rest of her natural life, which means only until she marries someone. Anthony Boriilleri leaves his job at Kiantone District School to the one who gave it to him or to anyone who has a craving for the wilds and back to nature stuff. Judson Pierpont leaves all his cares, worries, positions and dram- atic ability to the first junior who deposits a hundred dollars in the National Bank of Fredonia. ' Maurice Hammond bequeaths his base viol to Mary Graser who must practice on it at least an hour a day in order to keep it. Special attachments resembling steps go with this heavy tall fiddle to enable Mary to reach the strings. He wished her all success and hopes she does as well with the bow as she did with the sword in the Dress Re- hearsal of Hamlet. The Senior Music Girls bequeath to the freshmen their pitch-pipes with which they must fill in the gaps made in the ranks of the band by the roving seniors. Last but not least to Tony Andolina the class bequeaths a copy- right on the phrase Something to think about? We do appoint as Executor the Hon. William S. Stearns living in Fredonia, New York, this 18th day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six. Signed, sealed, declared and published by the said Senior Class, as and for, its last Will and Testament, in the presence of it, and in the pre- sence of each other, we have subscribed out names as witnesses hereto.

The essentials of a business training can be mastered in a comparatively short time. A knowledge of the principles of Commercial Law, particularly that part relating to the many different kinds of contracts, should, by all means, be acquired by teachers. The elements of book- keeping are a necessary part of one's education. How embarrassing it often is to many not to know the correct forms of the various kinds of business papers and the rules of business procedure. Every young man and every young Woman, irrespective of his or her vocation, should have a THOROUGH course in business. During the summer this school will give a course in Secretarial Bookkeeping, which is well worth investigating. A Working knowledge of typewriting and of some other subjects can be mastered at the same time. Commercial Teachers, as specialists, receive larger salaries than those paid ordinary teachers, and equal to the salaries of other specialists.
