The TRUMPET -o i l l I 1 1 T IQ.. lie llzrnngh my lips to 1ma7c'i1ln'm'd mrlh, The trumpet nf u f1rnpl1m'y. Sometime ago I had a dream, A stranger has ne'er been toldg I wandered through woods, and my guide, a stream, Led me on to a lake so old, That it seemed to belong in a fairyland. I rested awhile on a mossy mound, Strewing pebbles idly with my hand, One fell into the lake with a tinkling sound: The result, even now, I can scarce understand: The placid lake turned to a mass of soft waves, And its voice with all echo as hollow as caves, Proclaimed, that all visions which therein I saw, Would come true, And astonished, I gazed, rapt with awe: At first I saw the clear, blue skies, Then an aeroplane came into sight And the pilot, I scarcely could trust my eyes, Was Mulherny, renowned for his height. Next I saw a hospital, and from the men's ward mergin', Indeed, it was Stretch Martin, the famous surgeon. world-wide A large auditorium, filled, yea, packed Was the scene next to greet my gaze: Larry Farley never an audience lacked WVhen he warbled his roundelays. Attorney at Law the private door says, That the limpid pool now reveals: It opens, and Michael johnson comes out With a client close at his heels. john Brennan always wanted to be A sailor on the deep, blue sea. The wavelets softly murmured yes , Which meant that he'd do as he wished, I guess. A dancing school equipped in style. Ed Bunsa is the teacherg The classic dance is declasse, But the Charleston is a feature. Who is that teacher in tortoise-shell glasses Toiling and delving with high school Math. classes, Her hair is ebony black and shorn, Why, that's Marie Campbell, as sure as you're born. SHEl,l.l'IY. Matt Leib, a successful financier, Is keeping his prim little sec at work: VVhile she took his dictation, I saw, how queer, 'Twas really our Mary. Not Corrigan ,.... Cork . I next beheld a woman who was busily at workg She was writing clever journals, 'twas none other than Kitty Burke. There seems to have been an accident, A nurse is rushing to the scene To give first aid to the injured gent, NVhy the nurse is Rec jordan, perfection's queen. The injured man was Thomas Kelley, A retired merchant on a trip to Hazleton, his old home town, And without recognition, he looked with a frown And saw the cause of the terrible jar And there on the step of the Mcfkdoo bound VVas his classmate, the motorman, safe and sound, NVho merrily grinned. 'Twas Trolley Carr. The policeman I noticed for the first time Tom Sheridan, so strong and tall: He tossed in the air a brand new dime, Then took his classmate to City Hall. But luckily, Jimmy Garrahan, a lawyer who always saves his man, Rushed to headquarters in fighting mood, Determined to save his pals if he could. As if int'rested in the story too, The placid lake followed the four right through The streets of the city, and at the station, The mayor, Bert Browny , saw with elation, His fellow classmen all in line And was thinking the time they'd have, how fine It would be to have a reunion gay. But then he heard Tom Sheridan say, Public disturbance and accident, sir , And good-natured Browny , Cnow this is no slurj I saw in the lake that he gave a sign And his friends were acquitted for auld lang sync. Advice to the lovelorn given while you wait. I see Peg Riley hanging that sign on a quaint and creaky gate. i691

The TRUMPET l 1 i 1 A music teacher is Bonnie, McGeehin, to be exact, And in teaching, as per always, She uses the greatest tact. The schoolman rang a tiny bell, The children filed in lineg The teacher, Bet Feeney , loved them well, And they liked her just fine. Etta Kehoe is touring the country, up and downg Sl1e's doing Social Welfare Work, and by it, has won renown. The honored joseph Brislin, president of our class, Is a civil engineer supremeg There are no11e Joe can't surpass. Another wish granted, I'm glad to say, On a horse is galloping along, Saucer , a riding cowboy gayg X1Vho raises his voice in carefree song. Des , the detective of our class, Was revising the works of Holmes: VVhile Mary McNertney, her twin and chum, Lectures on Shelley's Poems. A vision of beauty now greets my gaze The waters have shown me a different phase: Peg McMenamin's kneeling in chapel ..... a nun, Whose work for God's glory is never done. Like slowly changing music, a Spanish garden looms. Flo Hoben is kneeling as she scoops The soil to plant sweet blooms. A busy ollice seems to appear The lake quite closely I must scang I see Joe Jacobs pictured there, A very successful business man. A stage agleam with mellow light The glass-like stream portrays: In concert is Lynchy with violin And O! how that man plays. It does not show within the pool What the future holds for me, But patiently I'll wait and try To bear what is to be. The lake has gone and l've seen the IHSI, The dream Qfor 'twas9, grows nazy As in the future does the past. And as a conclusion, I hope and fondly pray That our prosperous futures one and all, Begin this very day. Dokls lXflCKENNA, '26, P1'opl1f!r'ss. E701
