tg'-X ..,,. 5 ' ii' 5 THE FL B H I I EEHEMUNY ir cLAss Poem i These colors, dear to us because the things Great symbol, lead us on and up to hold They represent we hold as good and true, The light of liberty for all mankind, We raise with fondest hopes and proudest dreams, Endeared with glories of a thrilling past And set their standards high against the blue. Wherein the brilliant light of courage shines. Impart to our young lives the vision splendid, And to our eager hearts and willing hands, Desire to carry ever on and upward This banner and the cause for which it stands. FRANCES RACKLEY I37l

Dressed as knights and ladies and led by Arthur, their class president, they take the Table Round and with it all the privileges and responsibilities of Seniorhood. They are as- sisted in this ceremony by their sister class, the Sopho- mores. PLEDGE OF THE TABLE ROUND We Pledge: To reverence the king, as if he were Our conscience, and our conscience as our kingg To break the heathen and uphold the Christy To ride abroad redressing human wrongg To speak no slander, no, nor listen to itg To honor our own word as if our Gocl'sg To lead sweet lives in pur- est Chastity.

A hasty glance into the future shows: Virginia Anderson as a noted astronomer. Her constant companion and helper is her handsome husband whom she lovingly calls The Man in the Moon. Earline Armantrout as a great producer-she raises rabbits. Recently she donated' to the National Zoo a pure purple animal which is said to be the only kind of that nature in existence. Bobbie Bishop as the inventor of an automobile that drives itself. The only weakness of the invention is that it frequently goes home in the afternoon before she is off work, making it necessary for her to catch a bus. Evelyn Cutts as a big-time ship builder. She would have been ranked with Kiser if her last ship had not collapsed when socked with the bottle of champagne. Agnes Carder with black hair. She grew weary of the endless whistles from the male half of the population whenever she walked down the street. Evelyn Frankum as the wife of a Latin-American consul. e Mary Beth Goldin as the director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
