CLASS PROPHECY CLASS OF 1936 Emily Yoh To me is given the enormous task Of assembling data true; So of this class, without a mask I prophesy to you. The task is done; the victory's won For these few girls and boys. For all their names within the sun Will bring delight and joys. Taking words at one hundred and fifty per Ernistinc Edris is willing to please, She is the world's best stenographer— A position she holds with ease. Our Sarah Lamm a nurse would be And heal the wounds of men; She is so gentle and kind you see Thrice; here, and there, and then. Over the books of a large business plant A portly young man is chief; For in his vocabulary there's no word like “can't' Tis Robert Epler—in brief. Some day a young man in medicine we'll find Henry Fertig is the name; There is not another of his kind Equal in skill and fame. Among the engineers of the world Is David Gring—the seer; By him were the secrets of science unfurled Making life happy, contented and dear. Soaring to heights unheard of before Daring demon of the sky; Richard Lutz is at the open door Of a notable career on high. A young man who pulls fifty thousand or more In a ringside melody; John Moyer, a red-blooded boy to the core, Three cheers from you and me. And so, I have given the prophecy Of those who arc dear to me; I've tried to make them full of glee, For they're my friends, you see. 1936 Page Eighteen
