Senior Class Poem The end has come, as come it must To all thingsg in sweet April days The teacher and the scholar trust Their parting feet to separate ways They party but in the years to be Shall pleasant memories cling to each As shells bear inland from the sea The murmur of the rhythmic beach So shall the stream of time flow by And leave each year a richer good, And learned lovliness outvie, The nameless charm of soholarhood And, when the world shall With gracious lines and link your nam e manners fine, The teacher shall assert her claims, Lnd proudly whisper, 'They were mine L' 9

CLASS PROPHECY It was a cold, bleak December night when I sat looking out of our liv- ing room window watching the soft white snow flakes hastily making their way to the ground. When suddenly, the snow flakes melted into view a warm and cozy cottage near Thornhope. There sat Don Fahler, who is now an aged bachelor and mayor of Thornhope. From here, I saw into the office of Robert Korner, who followed his life's ambition to become a dentist. There in his office in New York, he is working on a set of false teeth for Mrs. KornerfMrs. Korner was formerly Margaret Raffertyj. Margaret's teeth were knocked out as a result of one of their many and fam us fights. Ah! The interior of a church, where an organ is softly playing, 'I Promise Youn. Here comes Harold Knebel and Hilda Mitchell marching up to the altar to take the vows that will forever bind those two hearts as one. I then beheld the soft rippling waters of Florida. On looking up I saw posed a young auburn haired girl ready to dive. It is our former classm te Mae McClain, who is now the champion girl-diver of the United States. Then a great explosionlll looked and saw a great factory with the neon lights announcing to all that it was Raub's Scientific Laboratory. That explosion was just one of Dick's atoms that got loose. We always knew that Dick would be a great scientist some day. In a large courtroom at Reno, gavel in hand, D. P. Surber, formerly my principal at Star City High School, is granting a divorce to a young cou- ple. The couple I recognized as Leroy Dearmond and Mabel Vanscoyk. He told the judge that she had been running around with other men. I now perceived Alice Bonnell standing before a microphone. What is she doing? Why, she is giving her hour of recipes on the 'Cook awhile Hour'. In the background are her cooksg they happen to be her two smiling daughters, Alvina and Margaret, who mix the ingredients as she mentions them. Do you think their husbands will have to slip the biscuits under the table to Spotty after all of this experience? Well I hope not, but I shouldn't be surprised. Mary Helen Smith had a very hard time, it seems, deciding between a career or a marriage. So she, after much debating, chose to be a beauty parlor operator. As you all remember, Mary Helen always was a beautician. The next sight to meet my eyes was that of a school room, and at the desk, ruler in hand, sits a very young teacherg it is Wilma Good. Wilma, it seams, has forgotten all about school days, for she is sending a small child up to the office, and as the office door opens, do you know who the principal is? None other than Mr. Thomas Densborn. There is Burl Bonnell, knocking on doors. He is selling toothpicks that won't break or bend and he is really convincing the people. When he flashes that smile, the women will buy almost anything from him. In large horned rimmed glasses, I see Harold Murphy taking a course at The College of Bugology. Harold always said, 'Thu bs down on being a teachern, but he must have changed his mind, for he surely is working hard for his diploma. The clicking of a typewriter attracted m attention so I looked hast- ily, and saw a familiar face. Who was it? Why, it was Pauline Bonnell, and her employer is Herbert Galbreath. You know the old saying,'She Mar- ried Her Bossn, but will she? Only a few more months at work will tell. Mabel Moon runs a sm ll knick-knack and candy shop. Someone walks in and Mabel chases the large yellow angora cat out of the candy case, long enough to sell the candy. Thinking of the destination of m classmates, I compared their sit- uation with that of my own. I am now coaching the Star City basketball team, and we have just won the hardest game of the season easily, and, for an instant the vision returned and showed us playing in the sectional ------ but the snow has started heavier and my vision is completely blinded by it.
