111' 1355 Our class is seventeen plus four. We're loyal, brave, and true, And wefre the sages of the W. H. S., Great in fame and knowledge. First upon our roll you'll find, One to a farmer's life inclined Elmer say's his life holds no cheer For him without Bernita dear. Estella, so I hear, Is only in her seventeen year. Great brains has she for one so young. Far and wide her praises will be sung. Herbert our president we see, A man of force and strength will be. r Florence is learned, and wise, Her wisdom will surely take a prize. Emmert of a bashful mein, With vivid blush so often seen. Albert with countenance gay, Looks real wise and bluffs his way Treva is mischievous, but always kind, Where'er she goes, our Daisy you'll always find. Adam desires to do his very best, Don't be disappointed when effort is put to test. Glen holds the highest place, High in all our learned grace. Amanda is successful in what'er she tries, She should be happy and merry likewise. Ernest, 'too appears in our class, Interested is he in a Wakarusa lass. Fern is a gay bright lass, It's a wonder she isn't at the head of the class. Warren, Edwin and John, are country swain, Interested are they in cattle and grain. For Nelson it seems a waste, But gay times for those who taste. There's Maud, Esther, Linfred and Joyce too, Who, to the W. H. S. will always be true. Joy Marie now appears, Who vows that in later years, A millionaire intends to wed, And in luxury will be led. Now my tale is almost thru, - The tale of the class seventeen plus four, To new joys and sorrows our faces We turn But for old Wakarusa High we'l1 ever learn. Amanda Wenger '20 Twenty-six

beauty of Florence Strope and Treva Hahn has greatly diminished since their youthful days. The scene now shifts to India, there I see Edwin Weaver, now a great missionary, who with his good wife, Fern Hunsberger, have accomplished great things in educating the heathen. I now see a beautiful church in Rio De J aniro. This church is very fortunate as having for their minister, so great a man as the Rev. Emmert Roose. D. D. Now I see in Honolulu the office of a great Chriopractor. This is the ofiice desk is seated his noble wife, Joyce Garberich. ian Islands for his great power of curing the Hawaiian malady. At his office desk is seated his noble wife, Joyce Garbrich. Now, what is it that I behold, Oh yes! A great sign protruding from one of the largest offices in Chicago. All kinds of head trouble cured, such as Enlarged Skull, Water on the Brain, Girl on the Brain. Won- derful new treatments, astounding results. lf you trust me, 1 ll trust you. Welcome! Come in. E. C. Chokey M. D. I now see the vast interior of Chicago's largest threatre packed with an expectant throng. As the curtain rises a great cheer rings forth from the audience, before them stands the world's greatest bass soloist, Linfred Letherman, As the curtain rises for the next act, the audience is again thrilled as they see the greatest American dancer, Mrs. Linfred Letherman, formerly Estella Myers. ' I also see on the streets of this city, a small man who follows the dig- nified profession of an organ grinder. He is known by the name of Shorty Metz, his real name as is known by few is Elmer Metzler. In the Jewish district of this city, I see a sign hanging from a small Window which says, Highest Prices Pair for Furs. W. W. Wenger. At his office desk I see his faithful sister, Amanda, who has consented to stay by him until he makes his million, Now I see seated at a table in Congress, another of your classmates. He is filling the position as Secretary of Agriculture. He has long been known as America's Corn King, and has now reached his goal. His name as is known by the world, is John Birk. ln a large car outside of the White House I see his wife and seven children, l think his wife was formerly Esther Beehler. Now I see a large country estate in Long Island, where resides Joyce Lehman, wealthy lawyer and politician. With this the old man raised his head and looked at me. He suddenly nodded his head as in a trance and said, My son, I see in southern California a large mansion behind which is an enormous fire- proof garage filled with America's fire fastest racing cars all of which be- long to you, won by your supernatural ability at the steering wheel. As these last words were spoken the old man again raised his head and said, ah, the vision is past as the day that is gone. Being very well satisfied with the future of this wonderful calss of '20 I arose, left the building and hurried on my Way. Glenn E. Roeder '20 Twenty-five
