The Blue and Gold - 1917 yearbook cover for Linden Lake High School
Scanned text:
THE BLUE AND GOLD, '17. 37 torials are superior to those of George Harvey in the North American Review. It's literary articles are master pieces of thought and composition.—and the athletic department ! !—well, there are few publications of its kind issued today that are better than this section of the "BLUE AND GOLD." The class of '17, as seniors, has pulled together on all occasions and their teamwork has been admirable. Class meetings have been singularly free from wrangling at all times. As a class we have much to boast of. In athletics, there is an unusually large percentage of Seniors on all teams.—there being five members on both the football and baseball teams, and four on the basketball team. In Forensics we have among us, Wilfred Hocking, who has had the honor of representing the entire district, which includes the whole of the Upper Peninsula, in the State Declamatory Contest held at Muskegon in 1914. In scholarship the class shines brightest. Despite the fact that it is by far the smallest, in point of size, it seldom fails to have more members on the honor list than any other class. And last, but not least, the class is patriotic. Our President, Milo Wiesenatter has enlisted in the U. S. Navy, while several other seniors are expecting to join the colors in various other branches of the work. Thus endeth the history of the fourteen girls and the ten boys in the class of '17. Some will pursue a broader vocational training, while others will immediately begin their life's work. As we go out into the world, what more fitting than that we should remember Shakespeare's immortal quotation "But this above all. To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as night the day, Thou cans't net then be false to any man." PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '17. Prudence Turner. Listen, O, ye men and women, youths and maidens and children! Listen all ye people of Lake Linden and Hubbell. to the words of wisdom from the lips of the prophet. who now speaketh unto yon what hath been revealed unto her, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. For it has come to pass that the veil of the future bath been rent in twain, even as it was so rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the spheres to envelope my soul with its mystic power. Aye, I say unto you, men and women, youths and maidens, and children of Lake Linden and Hubbell, it hath been given unto me to reveal the future. Then when it was decreed that the future of the Class of '17 was to be given into the hands of this, your prophet to do with even as she listed, that she cried out in a loud voice of lamentation, saying, "Who am I that the future of this great and glorious class should depend upon me? What am I that the fate of these most fair and beautiful damsels and these most sturdy and manly of youths should rest upon the decision of one so humble of intellect and so infirm of purpose?" But behold! even as the cry of weakness did ascend from the long suffering soul of your prophet, a voice from the heavens spoke unto her, even in the words of old, saying: "Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you I will make myself known unto him in a vision and will speak unto him in a dream." And straight-way from the clouds of the centuries gone and from the shadows already "cast before" by the "coming events" of the proverb there appeared unto me the fair and lovely spirit of prophecy, the angel of things to come and lo ! she did with her mystic touch roll back the curtain of the dim Beyond from before my prophetic vision and did permit me to gaze at will down the long vista of things yet to be. that I might behold all things that now are, transformed into all things that they shall yet become even as it was so granted to the wise men of the past. And lo! as she drew back the curtain she pointed with a long transparent finger down the avenues of a strange land, saying; "Look ! Listen ! Prophesy unto the young men and the young women of the Lake Linden High School even these things which you herein behold." So, even as St. John the Divine said unto the world so I. your prophet of the Class of 1917 do say unto the people of this audience in this the twentieth century. "Blessed be she that readeth and they that heareth the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which
