For, in an airship he sails through the open air. And dreams sweet dreams, as the vessel glides Through the beams trembling on floating tides. Miss Gronwall has written a great essay, Which S. H. students will study some day. Mr. Donham over a boys’ school presides And most strictly their actions guides. Keeping all the bewitching girls away, For he thinks they are entirely too gay. Miss Aagot’s cakes are the village pride. For she as a pastry cook is doing fine. Fred Gilbert, who was an ’09 athletic boy, Being married now has another joy. The flat so rings witth a rumbling sound. When ice cream and olives are passed around. They bring to him a remembrance so gay. That it makes him happy all the day. Miss Fannie, who never was unkind 1 he children in a district school do mind. The children in a district school does mind. Miss Lajord in music still delights. Making the social so blithesome and bright. Mr. Olaison is governor of some state. Where Jasper Gibbs has real estate. Miss Christianson an oil painter is she. Dear Monsie has written a U. S. history. While Agnes and Lillie instruct in a school. Where everyone follows the old golden rule. Elsie A., as nurse girl is doing her best. While Marion is happy and lives out West. Irene and Helen have a dancing school. Where they teach all the waltzes and two-step rules. There Joseph, the fiddler, gently plays. So, all the dancers are happy and gay. Some Haslund is president of some big concern; No doubt as president of ’09 he learned I he many things that all wisemen do.

The Class Prophecy O, Hail! Hail! to thee who slumbers. For, I sing of the deeds and wonders Of the famous June class of 1909. Who seldom ever were blind To the lessons, smiles and frowns, Of the teachers whose heads were crowned With garlands of learning and wisdom— That glorified S. H. their home of study and fun. Who always were as bright as gold. Who never, never could be sold. No matter how high you bid You never could our consent win. The gods in mighty war wculd engage, Their anger in passion would rage; Jove’s thunder could tremble around. While Neptune’s bellows would deeply resound. For the Fates have consecrated them to fame. And in honor has inscribed their names. Lo, what is the sweet, melodious song. That seems to cheer my dreary march along? Why, it is Miss Gjertsen, whose singing is renown; Whose name is known in every city and town. Sam Kohn as a politician great Always wins in every debate (?) His parliamentary rules can never perish. For by Seniors and wisemen they are cherished. Misses Fall and Fraiken are teachers so stern. They force their pupils to study and learn The problems and theorems which they despised. For time has told them it makes pupils wise. The Fates have granted Mr. Sleeper’s prayer. •Page Tu'enly

But those that profited by them are few. Marian Woll and Ruth, trip it as they go. So lightly, gracefully on their fantastic toe. For, great fancy dancers some day they’ll be. And probably will perform for you and me. It is David Nyval who’s a great pianist star, And always on concert trips travels afar. Mr. Dewars as professor does command The respect and honor of all on the land. Many a tear has Winifred shed. For, alas, the Fates would not let her wed The one she wished with all her heart. So now she spends all her time in art. Miss Inez is teacher of a Western school, Where Agnes, Verna and Bertha help her rule. Miss Moe has abandoned the city life, She lives in the country and is a farmer’s wife. Both May and Gertrude in teaching delight; The scholars all love them with all their might. Miss Caroline Korthof is a society belle; Miss Bergelen to this land has said farewell. She now lives in Germany in great state. But Oh, it is so strange to relate. That Messrs. Hammel and Larason did sail In an airship, but, being hit by the hail. They landed in an island far in the sea. Where they live as cannibals in great glee. Mabel Hall is married, to whom I don’t know, I think he is a machinist, at least I heard so. Nellie, Marie and modest Evangeline Are spending all their wealth and time In far India, uplifting the Hindu; Elvera and Ruth J. are helping, too. Miss Jules accompanies those who sing. And with sweet music makes the piano ring. Mr. Jorgenson is so puffed up with pride. ‘Page Twenty- Tno
