■ ■ Ii ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ « ■ ■ ■ ■ m k k m ■ ■ H Class Prophecy) By Mable Wallin X WAS present at a meeting of our Alumni Association of Wynne High School, and was surprised to hear that Dr. George Snowden had just discovered a successful and instantaneous cure of tuber- culosis. He was helped in his experiment by his two efficient nurses. Hazel Blair and Jeannette Primm. Billy Meyers had entered the movies and lived in California, but was interested enough to attend our meeting. We expected him to bring a wife with him. but he still pretends that he does not like love making. Mary Catherine Hall is a teacher of music in a young ladies’ seminary. Ruth Dorris is a concert player and an accompanist of Pauline Howell. They rendered us a beautiful number. Audrey Couch and Tommie Thompson are stenographers in the railroad office. James McKie owns a large farm west of town, and is very happy. Bessie Hale is an expression teacher in one of the State colleges, while Mary Alice Crawford is a Latin teacher in the same school. Ernest Brawner owns Barwick’s Garage. As he is making so much money, he had to hire Ruby Ethridge as his bookkeeper. Louise Stewart had married a farmer, and is very happy. Another wedding had taken place in the past week. Wade Halk had finally got up enough courage to propose to Irene McGinnis. She had readily accepted. Joe Carson had studied chemistry so hard and worked in the laboratory so faithfully that he had pre- pared some patent-leather hair tonic, which was guaranteed to keep your hair stuck down longer than any he had ever tried before. Charles Dibble is a rich bachelor, who hates all women, for the simple reason that a movie star had refused to marry him. Alpha Scott is a saleswoman for Stillman’s Freckle Cream. She sold each of us a jar before the meeting was over. Tennyson Howell is directing athletics in an Eastern school. I am sorry to say that Sadie Steinberg never got married, but is still a prim old maid. Heimie Saripkin is the owner of a large department store, and is doing a flourishing business. We are very surprised to hear that Sam Gooch Is making a good record at college. It took him three years to get out of the Freshman Class. The meeting closed after we had exchanged reminiscences of our school days at Wynne in 1925 and 1926. Senior Poem Classmates, one more day and then good-by. Through these twelve years we’ve toiled together. But now we depart with a sigh. And stand alone to brave life’s weather. There’s a sadness in each and every heart. As we leave our classmates one by one; But life’s game we all must start. Though in the past we’ve shared our troubles and fun. We can never thank or forget our teachers true, Who were always willing their share to do. Sometimes memories will make us feel blue. As we think of our classmates and teachers, too. Ha .kl Blair. Class Poet.
