CLASS PRCDPHECY ln nineteen hundred sixty-five, in Sawtelle far away The noble class of thirty-five held its reunion day. Their faces showed the marks of time, a fate both good and bad And most of them were happy, and just a few were sad. As general in the army Brave Clyman was the best And rookies Clark and Campbell, with medals on their breast. O'Brien and lVlcClanahan both would be thespians fair To London sailed to learn the art--got lost in a fog somewhere. Patton and Giff johnson work in lndia's sunny clime They dance upon the festive grapes to garner Priday's wine. Lacy and Rog Erickson, the windbags of the class Earn their bread by blowing designs in colored glass. Frances Smith and Keeler have known unique success Defeated Hynes and Steffy in running for Congress. Hoffmann is a lawyer of very great repute Lert always calls on her to settle a dispute. Harry Wall and Warth those two unparted pals Work in Ziegfield follies judging all the gals. When Cline crooned to McGinley on High School Color Day They started a combination now singing on Broadway. Schopf the master mind of all has made the horses pay, Stable keepers, Wolfe and Blount, get fifteen cents a day. The motion pictures took Salisbury and Betty Potts They illumine every scene with famous baby spots. Wallace, Taylor and Parrett are living quite content They drive the wooden stakes that hold up Ringling's tent. Buckner and Pruett whom the boys all loved so well Still vie for the honor of queen of old Sawtelle. Odenthall sailed the ocean, Faulconer crossed the pole Sloat tried to race a train, but never reached her goal.

The Ambassadors who earned the distinguished honor of being seal-bearers were: Ellinor Hoffmann, Dorothy Keeler, Frances Smith, Patricia Thompson and Wolfgang Lert. The senior class contributed great- ly to the high membership achieved by the Meledonian Society. Both as spectators and active participants, the class gave its ardent sup- port to athletics, track, football and basketball, and tennis also found much useful material among the Seniors. The class broke all precedents by being the first ever to defeat the Faculty baseball team and win the Senior Brawl in the Senior year. These events illustrate better than words the athletic prowess of the class. The officers of the class who worked faithfully on committees for pro- grams, parties and graduation affairs spent much time on class projects. 19
