('lass Prophecy See that sign on the window pane? The one that says Neargarder, Buschur and Cain? “Crystal Gazers’’ beneath it you’ll see (Course we really don’t claim to be) Gazing isn’t our true profession But with our ball we’ve had a session To get results you must know the right phrase And into the ball steadily gaze. Say slowly and clearly, so it can be heard, Say it distinctly, distinguish each word, Crystal ball, O, Crystal ball Withhold nothing, tell us all, Send your spirit from on high Tell us of our classmates dear, Who are spread both far and near. A puff of smoke, a burst of flame The spirit yelled out “Just call the name!” So we asked about every member of the class And this we learned as through the ball they passed. Old Doc Barga cures all ails— His favorite patients are pretty females. Romaine Berger is flying through. With a truckload of eggs long overdue. Farmer Charles Bergman, so they say, Would rather raise sheep than take in hay. Thelma Bey is a housewife happy, She loves her husband who she calls “pappy”. John Connaughton, Banker renown. The sly old fox now owns the whole town. Dorothy Didier and Virginia George are housewives, Guess they’ll be busy for the rest of their lives.
