19 THE THALIA 30 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One afternoon as I lay under a tree wondering what had become of all my Senior Classmates of 1930, I spied a squirrel with a bag of nuts. There was someone with the squirrel. Oh! an elf. The elf had a hammer. They sat down and started to crack the nuts. A slip of paoer was pulled from each nut. The first was Jane Barnhart, our president. Some one said she would be an old maid, but that isn't right. She is the wife of a million dollar gas man. The second slip bore the name of Grace Stout. She still has that pretty smile. She is now a school teacher in Chicago, and has renewed an old acquaintance in the west. The third slip was that of Chessie Chapman. She is married, and has a fine group of children. She is happy as a lark. The next was that of Rosa Belle Dunfee. She has a position as a Stenographer. She has a large income, and in a few years she can sit and watch the world go round. She is not married: she has better sense. Hazel Place came next. You can't guess what fate has done for her! She is now surrounded by politicians, and is the first woman president of the United States. Here come the boys. The first is Dale Gibbs. Who would have thought it? He is a preacher in the best church in New York. My! He looks dignified. The next was Guy White. Guy is a scientific farmer, and has the most modern farm in the country. The next was Joseph Chase. He is a mechanic in the largest garage in Spring-field. and is doing good work. The next slip taken out was that of George Gilbert . He is carrying a 45 Colt watching for smugglers along the Canadian border. He plays the part of a hero. Clinton Burdette is a traveling salesman. He sells a complete line of dry goods and groceries. Well, here comes Ralph Calaway. He is a pugilist, and he is married. It is a good thing his wife doesn't fight, too. Here is Harold Callaway. He is an architect and has drawn the plans for several large buildings. He is now well off. Next is Lester Murrey. He is married, and is an aviator. He owns a large plane named Wren”. His wife insists on flying with him. so he has to take her along. And now comes John Runion. He owns a large bus line. John has renewed his faith in girls, and is to be married to the prettiest girl in Columbus. Here comes Dale Blair's slip. He is single, and is a big game hunter. He is now at the head of a large expedition in South Africa hunting elephants. The next is Kenneth Dunfee. He is a comedian in Hollywood. Kenneth is always popular. Well, well, here is Paul Kinnen. He is a broker on Wall Street, and has many million dollars. Clive Bailey is Henry Ford's assistant, and has control of all the factories. The other member of the class, Verlyn Travis, is one of the modern poets. We all knew that Verlyn had some hidden talent, and he showed the world what he could do when he tried. And now I must tell the fate of Miss Knecht, our class advisor. She has married an English teacher, and has quit teaching school. She is now the head of a happy family. Oh well, she deserves it. after being with this class for two years. Page thirteen

19 THE THALIA 30 CLASS POEM Our high school days arc very near ended And the thought of saying goodbye. Fills our hearts with sweetest of memories Of days we have spent at Troy Hi. The days are drawing nearer and nearer And commencement is not very far off. We think of the things we have accomplished. With the help of the teachers and all. Now as we leave Troy Hi School And start on our journey alone. We will never forget the good old days That were spent at Troy Hi. A SONG FOR GRADUATION Tho' our paths may be dividing Leading us apart. Still shall trust and full confiding Claim the friendly heart. Recollection still shall treasure Each familiar face. While the thought of by gone pleasure Bridges time and space. Although farewells are spoken. School days left behind. Memory's chain unbroken Keeps them safe in mind. School, we love, we say goodbye. We will keep your standard high. Our purpose firm and true Knowing we can serve While we repay the debt. We owe to you. Page twelve
