( LASS PROPHESY As I was wearily trying one night, The '0? class prophecy to write, A fairy suddenly brought to me A book—its contents you shall see. The book was entitled, ’07, South High, I certainly could not pass it by: And I’m very thankful that I did not. For this prophecy from that book I got. I copied it down, word for word. So if you think it is absurd. Remember wheie the blame to lay For 1 am innocent 1 say. Orilla Kraft now a member is she Of the famous Simplified Spelling Bee; And W ebster’s has been replaced by the Kraft, They say her position is simply a graft. Ally Josewitz advanced a new theory As to how the north pole one could see. And so to test the theory as put forth, Lobdell and Mosher have journeyed north.

T II E C I. A S S A N N U A I. O F t» 7 17 ENVOI 1Y ’07. When South High lessons are finished and books are no longer dry. When the oldest Epic has faded, and the latest lyric has died. We shall rest and faith we shall need it—lie down for an aeon or two, Till the dear old U. professors shall give us something to d . And those that were good shall be happy. They shall sit in a hardwood chair; They shall listen with rapt attention, which has lately been s i rare. To the words of the great old wise ones, which are wonderfully tall; They shall work all night at their lessons, and never be tired at all; They will enter as little Freshmen, but their quizes soon will state That they came to stay for four years with excellent “stuff’’ in their pate; And when at last they have finished, they shall shine as bright, bright stars, In the firmament of scholars, who take them for what they are.
