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
