303325 HISQEGS Prophecy of the Class of 1925 One bright sunny day in June 1930, I was walking through the garden. I spied a large red rose. Plucking the rose from the bush, I saw to my surprise, that on each petal was painted a picture. I noticed' at a glance that the pictures were of boys and girls that were graduated from the Swataira Township High School in 1925. The Hrst petal pictured a pretty little cottage with'Dot Aungst acting as wife and keeping house for Lester Forney. The second picture showed a large music hall. Here Mima Paull was seated at the piano and Mary Hallman was entertaining the audience with vocal selections. The third petal revealed to me a large Commercial School. Here llflary Walter presided as teacher. Petal number four was a court scene. The lawyers were Roy Reed and James Schmidt. This was not at all surprising, for in law class, they always had reasons for arguing. The fifth petal showed an operating room in the Harrisburg Hospital. Here I saw Gladys Aungst all done up in a white uniform. The next petal I tore from the rose was a large one. This was a view of a baseball Held. Lester Wolfe, the great ,athlete making a home-run for the American All-Stars. The next petal was very small, but not of the least importance. It pictured Shippensburg Normal School. Here Elizabeth Hocker was crying very hard for her mother, and I remembered how homesick Llib used to get. ' Petal number eight pictured a large church. Harry Hoy presided as minister. This was a surprise,'for back in 1925 Harry was very trickish. ' The ninth one showed Miriam Gerhart seated in a Ford with her Sammy. And also pictured a trolley car with Frank Wilsba.ugh as 'lNickle Snatcheru. The next petal was torn, but by putting it together I saw that it showed the 5 85 10 in which Annie Hoover was a clerk. Petal number eleven also pictured an automobile. But this one was a 1211
