ECHOWAN 19 3 0 CLASS PROPHECY It is the black of night; Winds shriek and seem to light There on Olympus' top. Weirdly they shriek and howl Like some strange fiend or ghoul Through the God’s palaces. Sounds as it spirits move. What brave will try to prove It is but fancy? Spirits in trailing robes Hurry about in droves Calling with voices weird To one another. Thunder with deafening roar. Lightning the mountain tore; Stabbed they the black of night, Tore back the mists with might To show a castle. High on a crag it stood, Seemed o’er the world to brood. Mighty the picture. One more great crash of thunder. Like earth was rent asunder. Then fell the quiet. And slowly ’fore our very eyes We see the banquet hall arise At first all filled with misty vapors Sucked up slowly by flickering tapers. Around a table long and narrow Sit spirits wavering in the light. Slowly they grow clear and clearer The Muses arc the first and nearer. Sung in ancient song and story, Nine in number full of glory. Spirits ancients never knew From out the mists still clearer grew Called up by business needs today. One o'er Business has full sway. Capital and labor arc under his control. The Spirit of Healing then unfolds. She takes care of nurses Who keep folks from hearses. Diane next at the festive board. Goddess of Chases and all outdoors. Jupiter, too, the mighty king. Has full charge of political things. Creative Genius is here, too. And mighty things can this spirit do. Venus, goddess of all beauty, Waits to claim her students truly. The Goddess of Justice next we see; She has charge of the jury. And Psyche, goddess of the mind. Waits with look deep and refined. Mercury, spirit of the air. Slowly folds his wings so fair. The Wizard of Light And the Sou! of Sight End our list of jkxts. Why this mistic spirit council? Why this gathering strange and weird? List! the leader now is speaking, ’Tis the Spirit of Success. “We are come, my fellow spirits, At the honored call of youth. In the paths of fame and fortune Ti$ our duty them to guide. We gather now, my friends to a senior class assign In the mighty occupations ’Tis their lot in Life to find. And to give them to the spirit Who must rule their work in life. We will take this class in order. This fine class of twenty-nine And the mighty year of thirty Also comes at this great time.” The Spirit of Big Business Named the following people so “Anna Sundblad, tall and slim, Many a tale in type will spin. Helen Nordin, her dearest friend. Will her days in an office spend. Margaret Smith will keep the books. Genevieve Flatten after files will look. Alvf.ra at her side will Ik To help her with the A’s and B’s. And Elinor as secretary Will be their friend and never weary. Jane M rtin will be her assistant trusty. Bernice will use a telegraph And be the highest on the staff. Robert Pilcher, businesslike. As President of a big concern, And Pearce Ciiell will teach his son The rules good scouts must follow. f 18 1
