Class Prophecy Thru hazy mists of future years, it's been my lot to see The fates of all my schoolmates, the class of '23: Miss Goodbrake, high soprano, is the latest Broadway Rose, Walt Creed now runs a laundry and cleans and presses clothes. Miss Krull, trapeze performer, does many daring tricks. The laundry run by Walter Creed is owned by Madra Rix. Dean Judd is in the follies, Pete Hessmer's on the screen, And impersonating Rudolph, he surely is a scream. Poor Blondy Wittenberg, alas! his fate we must bemoan, His family numbers thirty-six Che runs an orphans' homey Our friend Fred Sterritt goes to sea, and joins a Pirate Crew, But settles down and marries a dark-eyed little Jew. John Handy and friend Johnson have spent ten years in jail As the sad result of meddling with U. S. bonds and mail. Miss Sandberg's name when mentioned connects the minds of most With a certain traveling salesman who sells the Evening Post. Van Horn and Mullett, doctors, will sell you home-made pills, Cure headache, colic, rhumitiz, or any other ills. Miss Fulcher is a leader of our country's suffragettes, And has placed a bill in Congress to abolish cigarettes. Maude Withers owns a circus, the best in all our land, While Warren travels with her troup and runs a peanut stand. Young Armstrong is a lawyer, he's never lost a case, And Corwin's with the Giants, he covers second base. Miss Burns and friend Wynona run a very swell cafe, Their sinkers, hash, and java are known for miles away. Miss Churchill is a palmist, she knows you by your hand, Miss Whitesell is the leader of Sousa's famous band. Miss Tobler owns and operates a moving picture show, Miss Ernest is U. S. Treasurer and guards our country's dough. Miss Roberts is a Red Cross nurse in far off sunny France, She amputates or sits and mends the soldiers' worn out pants. L. Sisco drives the street car to Centreville and then, Transfers his badge to Ione Hess, who drives it back again. To write and publish novels is B Wagner's great delight, While Mildred Sweitzer's in the ring and swings a wicked right.' Miss Frisk, Miss Nash, and Reiling are all typists for the firm Of Literary Brokers, Whonsettler and Kern. While all I do is smile about the fates of all my chums, And stroll about my residence, The Home for Busted Bums. -Malcolm Ralm, '23.

CAST President. . . .... . . .Pauline Goodbrake Secretary- - . . . . ....... .Helen Fulcher Treasurer ................... Evertt Hessmer We are still thirty-five and our trials grow greater. Death again enters and takes one of our cast, Eugene Alber. As the end of the act draws near several members of the cast wear a weary expression, others one of fear. The action becomes hurried and the play nears the climax. Two plays are presented by the cast. CCURTAIN3 EPILOGUE In the future the cast sees a graduation and the social activities connected with commencement. At last each member of the cast goes his own way, carrying always the memory of this High School drama. Their fellow-actors have changed with the setting, for their stage is now the world. -Pauline E. Goodbmke, '23. To Gut Football Players You're as fine a bunch of fellows As football ever knew, And I wish to tell each player The school is proud of you. Although you may have lost a game, I am sure we all can boast, With our fellowship and spirit, We deserve the,honor most. Upon the field you all prepare To meet the coming strife, In reality you're being trained For bigger things in life. Which do you think the better, To capture every goal? Or to master fairness, squareness, And the use of self control? You've done your very best, sirs! You've given us the joys That come from every clean fair play, The school's behind you, boys. gCorwin Drew, '23.
