SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One night, after going to bed ; A queer idea came into my head. It was the year of nineteen forty-two, When the Senior Class came into view. In a large city, a street I behold! A newspaper man is being very bold. He's taking a picture of Hitler, I see, And he doesn't even so much as look at me; Stepping closer, I notice he is rather short, “Why its Jack McGorray!” I exclaim with a snort. Away to a ritzy night club I’m taken, I can guess who is there, if I’m not mistaken ; The strains of a jazz band reaches my ear, I'll bet Jim Robbins is chief engineer. Knowing he would be surprised at my appearance, I walk across the floor without much interference; He looked at me with great surprise, Who I am he can’t quite surmise. Later on, over to me he walked. And then we talked and talked and talked. Then to a broadcasting station I go, A well-known program is giving the show. Annabel Faith is doing real well, I hear; She’s playing for Jack Benny’s program, and has a large Next, to a courtroom, I go in a cab, Why Drexel Albert is on the stand. Edwin Rogers, a noted attorney-at-law, is here; He has won all his cases for many a year. Finding he is going to win his case, I ride away—ready for another chase. To the airport, I go in a flash. My, O, my, there has been a crash! Nurse Rodgers is there with her first aid kit, She’s always on the job when someone’s been hit. Much to my surprise the pilot climbs out; “Why its Bill Perkins,” I cry with a shout. With him came Mary Elinor Pease, She’s a stewardess now for T. V. E.’s. After conversing with them for a time, I find they are going to be married at nine. Next, to Barnum and Bailey’s circus, I go, They are in Chicago with a great show. The star performer, who is Thelma Kent, Does bare-back riding to a great extent. She has won great fame the whole world round, Although she is modest, and don't like renown. Keith Janvrin is a famous news commutator, He’s working now for a large newspaper. Later, I wonder if this will all come true, These careers, that I have dreamed about you. —By Mary Elizabeth Williams. 1957 career m
