Athletics, plays, and music too, Don't think We've shirked a one, We've raised the scores, and made the But our Work here is done. The great world beckons tous now, QWe're not blocks of Wood or stonej VVe only heed the greater call, We must wander on alone. The World of men and women calls Where wheels of commerce humg We cannot linger here today, There is a race to run! Are We not sad at heart, departing? Sad to leave the school We love? Ah yes, these years were happy years, Years to cherish and to love. We sigh to leave these happy years, They will not come again, For happiness like this is found Not, in the world of men. Now you shall take our places here 3 You shall raise our banner high. Our, faith in you is strong and sure, You shall keep our trust-we die. Yes die: depart from Old South High No more to know it's joys, For all our high school days are gone We senior girls and boys. -Virgil G. Baker '24 hits, --41 E i ez ,z ,L lllll l l i il it 5-533

Q l W Twenty-Eight Senior Prophecy YANDERING aimlessly not long ago, I was attracted to a dilapidated shop by the queerness of its display. Nothing of any value seemed to be exposed throuugh the cracked and fly specked glass. A worn and deeply nicked scythe rested in the corner, While a spent hour glass covered with dust completed the incongruous exhibition. Upon entering I found Father Time seated in an old rickety chair sound asleep. Loud snores issuing from his cavernous mouth shook him to the depth of his gaunt and bony skeleton. Looking over his shoulder, I discovered a massive volume which I found to be the Book of Fate, its smudged pages glowing with prophecies that heretofore only Time could tell. Its pages were opened by some enigmatic chance to the year 1944. With all due deference to venerable Father Time, I still felt it my duty to my classmates to find what would be their fates. Appropriating a grimy notebook and a feathered quill, I hoisted myself on a three legged stool and copied down the following: Lima's own Susie Smart, is better known as Ruth Hanley. Her diagnosis of man's feelings in regard to women is very unique. Weagley and Waggoner's Wonder Circus opened an engagement at Skunktown Tuesday. Clarence broke his leg recently in lifting his feet. Helen Kaser-Andrews has bought the Spot and renamed it 'Kaser's Kosy Kitchen.' She reports that business would be very profitable if her husband and general nuisance, Leo, would stop eating up all the profits. A Coach Calvin Early of Yale announces that he is having such unprecedented success with his Mah Jong and Tiddely Winks teams that he will take them abroad. His star players are Dale Middlestetter, Ilah Dawson, and Helen Miller. William Carlton, water boy for Yale teams, is to accompany them. Barrington and Apple, commercial chemists, have perfected the first colorless rouge. Robert is also a good Fisher-man, while Henry announces his forthcoming marriage to Mildred Parlette, noted authority on unbreakable biscuits. Henry Giberson, successor to Al Jolson, is scoring an immense hit at the Green Blueberry Theater in his blackface work in the title role of 'The Baker-man's Chocolate'. Iola Rothlisberger, our peerless 'ed', after a disastrous love affair, has retired from the field of matrimony covered with alimony. At present she is supervisor of the South Rainbow, being the most capable supervisor since 1924. Marguerite Johns has taken over the Market House. She says, 'Try our fish once and yon'll eat pork the rest of your days'. Generalissimo Hilardo Pattoni, has become president of Mexico. He figures that only a million lllexicans were killed during his fight for election, this number being two less than were killed in the previous election. Evelyn Blosser has become principal of Google School. She says that Mary Arnold, one of her star teachers, is having great difficulty in teaching her pupils why Spark Plug should be more famous than Rudy. Dotson's French Flappers, Lima's only stock company will play before the members of the Arctic Circle. Alice Killian, the leadinglady, will give a short address on 'Eskimoes shouldn't Wear overshoes because they are in the Arctic's region.' Sheik Vergilo Bakero, has turned Arab and ascended the throne of King Tut II. Recently he captured the Missionaries to the Sahara Desert, Marie Bechdolt and i al fi ,Q .
