Well, maybe I'd better say nothing They'd just think I was trying to yelp. A bigger sensation than Lindberg Even though there's no boy to kidnap Is Harv-aviator of daring He's flown everywhere on the map. And always in the co-pilot's cock-pit May be seen Barbara Davis' head. It seems as though she won't trust him As a good wife would do in her stead. And Leslie turned out an inventor Perfecting an auto plane light The rays of which liquidate darkness- He was helped by Assistant Stan White. Now, Leland and Clarence are captains In the Expeditionary Force of the Air Their General seems to be Chaplin All three must have learned how to swear. So Arthur turned out a musician And Laurence an artist of fame And Marvin became a great banker, Employing as cashier, A. Rains. John's flying a 'bomber for China And may blow Japan off the earth. Jean Kinsler is covering the fighting And her articles are all filled with mirth. Blond Ernestine joined with a circus And tells fortunes for the sum of a dime. Elaine became a detective And forms a great menace to crime. D. Moulton is writing a story Entitled The Planet of Mars. It contains all her vast store of knowledge She gathered while visiting the stars. Now Adeline's running a hen farm, And culls all but double yolked eggs. Viola is running a tea shop.

PRGPI-IECY Last night as I hiked down the railroad For the pleasure and fun I derive I dreamt that I saw my old classmates Who were with me in the year '35, I used to believe they were friendly And when I sang why they used to hum But that was before I went haywire And started downhill on the bum. Who'd thought I was doomed to misfortune That I'd live to be an outcast That my dinner would be where I found it- I'm sure it was none of my class. Now look-they're all so successful, And me-a broken down scamp. We all had identical chances, And 'twas I who turned out a tramp. Now take Eleanor for instance. She's teaching at University of Cal. Who'd thought she'd ever get married, And least of all-marry old Hal! We next think of Caroline Anderson The girl with those deep somber eyes, And to think that she'd ever go Bake Shop And fashion out sweet apple pies. A topping her list of good clients, The name of George Wenglein appears. His weakness for pies not been fatal Though its followed him down through the years In the sports of each Sunday paper You can see Flash Ledeboer's name. Yes-his bones are becoming a bit brittle, But chess is an aged man's game. Perhaps his success is divided With his manager Bartow Van V. And to think that I once was his equal And had the same chance as he. And next we have Doctor Davis, A man now-reclining in years. He's married a nurse-Carol Nevin, And was endowed with three sons it appears. Evelyn's presiding in congress Oft times she makes the front page. It seems as though she's in favor Of Doc Townsend's Plan for Old Age. Well me-I'm certainly in favor If there's anyway for me to help

But the biggest surprise of my lifetime Is Ralph-he's coaching at Yale And heading his list of assistants Is the name of' our president-Hale. Now Dahlberg and Christy are serving As U. S. ambassadors to France, While Neuhaus and Morgan are teaching The Ukiah Freshmen to dance. De Carli is acting down southward In the movies for Schneider and Lang. When you see her, you're filled with emotion But you laugh when she tries to use slang. The chief of police is James Stoughton In the town of New York so they say, He once locked me up in his jail house And curse him-I'll get him some day. June Parker is working in London As special envoy to the king, And Georgie is living in riches She obtained from the stage-can she sing! Oh, Stuart is paving a highway From London to Antwerp it seems And Loren, an able inventor, Has developed a thousand good schemes. Perhaps the most erudite students That I ever thought there could be Are Butler, creator of Scruples, And Edie, pioneer of the Sea. June Williams is visiting in Paris To get rid of a million or so, While Victor is working as chauffeur For Romer, who lives in Oslo. Sylvia and Robert are married And live off the fat of the land. You should hear some of Sylvia's stories She tells of her loving husband. Next in my long list of memories Do our Betty and Doris stand clear. They both are White House Librarians, And have been so for many a year. Our Josephine, Lucille and Mollie Are three efficient, healthy housewifes, While Hazel has become very wealthy By keeping ten thousand bee hives. Now friends, I don't want your sympathy Nor clothing nor food nor your bed, But I think that I could stand a dollar Or maybe a five spot instead.
