ON TOMORROW IN cosmic WAVES of music under her arm, standing near the piano? Ah, yes, it's Miss Marjorie McComb, grand opera star. Speaking to Professor Lenora Longerich, head coach of the championship Tech soccer team, is Miss Rosemary Byrket, editor of that dynamic new daily paper, The Indiamzpolir Booster. Near her stand her business manager, Miss Nancy Newland, and her private secretary, Miss Clara Lohman. Robert Imhoff, revolutionizer of the movies through his new Technicolor, is leaning against one of the artistically decorated pillars. Near him is james Laney, district superintendent of the Indianapolis Sanitary Department, who boasts of the slogan, 'Not a drop of grease wasted between your scrap pail and your soap.' I am informed that Miss Tina jackson, noted missionary to Africa, will be here this evening. As yet, I do not see her among the guests, though I do see Miss Eva Hunt, who so capably managed the presidential campaign. A young man with a grave mathematical look, Albert Hughes, seems to be engrossed in deep thought as he stands apart from the crowd with his eyes focused on the ceiling. Doubtless he is formulating another diflicult problem for his next mathematics text-book. Hastening to find their places before the banquet begins are James Neale and William A. Brown, owners and successful operators of a large chain of drug stores. Six prominent young society matrons, better known to our Tech audience by their maiden names, Alice Bell, Carol Geisler, Jeanette Gar- rett, Marian McLain, Othella Foster, and Dorothy Fagin, are engaged in animated conver- sation with Miss Lois Henderson, bridge wiz- ard, whose new book, 'How to Bring Home the Top Prize,, has caused a real sensation in card circles. The ladies are applauding a young gentle- man who is just entering. It is john Pollard, the great crooner. Close behind Mr. Pollard comes Nolen McCrea, the big-game hunter, who has traveled thousands of miles through African yeldt, risking his life on countless ogcasions. He admits, however, that the nearest he has ever come to death was in an attempt to cross the street at Meridian and Washington. And here is that second Houdini, George Katzenberger. George boasts that he is able to escape from everything except bill collectors and subpoena servers. The brilliant Dr. Doris Kasting, who has just received her Ph. D. degree for valuable re- search work done on that vital question, 'Why does a road run both ways?' is among the guests. She is talking to Francis McCalley, the famous gem collector, who is possessor of every known rare gem with the exception of 'Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.' Dr. jean McNanny, widely known surgeon, has just joined the group. The room has suddenly filled with delicious odors of tempting foods. I am told that the head chef in charge of this banquet is the popu- lar and world famous Elbert Poarch, aided by his equally capable assistants: Roy Pope, Miss Eva Mae Ashcroft, and Miss Crystal Schuman. Their book of tested recipes is said to have net- ted them all a neat fortune. The leading photographers of the city, james Wyn, Russell Hollenbeck, and Albert Foullois, are busy making preparations to 'shoot' the crowd. Vernon Denker, renowned civil engineer, who with the aid of the equally famous Albert McColloum, has just completed an 'under-the sea' village, that modern wonder of the age, is laughing and shaking his head at the photog- raphers. Since my time is drawing to a close, I can but mention a few of the other notables pres- ent: The famous harmony team-the Misses Millicent Cummings and Anne Abrams, Guy Lumbago of the Royal Geraniums, Miss Lois johnson, head of the 'Keep-Your-Husband Cooking School', Miss Mariemma Gorman, the historian, Orvin Moore, the explorer, Dr. Clif- ford Watson, fingerprint expert, Miss Mary Frances Ogden, publisher, Gordon Young, sub- marine captain, Ralph Simpson, poet, Jack Gunnell, artist, Miss Thelma Greenwood, movie actress and niece of Charlotte Green- wood, McCord Oglesby, professional laugher for A. T. S. broadcasting station, James Silk- nitter, head of the Run Better Hosiery Mills, and Robert Hickman, president of the Presi- dential Board of Indiana Presidents. And now, ladies and gentlemen, let us en- joy the dinner music. THE VOICE OF THE ANNOUNCER ceased, but the expected music did not come. Instead, I felt myself being rudely shaken. Wake up! commanded my father. You have been asleep ever since you sat down here with the paperf' I rubbed my eyes and sat up. So it was only a dream! I wonder-Do dreams come true?

THE LAMP CAST a silver pool of light upon my easy chair and upon the arabesque pattern of the rug at my feet. Settling myself in a comfortable position, I opened the evening paper, my eyes scanning the headlines. Suddenly out of the mass of black print a headline seemed to leap at me: College President to Address Former Class- mates-President Glen Baker of the University of Greater Indianapolis will speak at the ten- year reunion banquet of the class of 1933 of the Arsenal Technical Schoolsf' THE CLASS OF l933! My class! I had heard of no reunion. This cer- tainly was a surprise! I reached over and turned on the radio, ad- justing the dials until the room was filled with the haunting strains of the Humoresque. How pleasant it was to sit there and dream about those schools days! Suddenly the strains of the orchestra died away, and a voice took its place. Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Radio Audience. This is Station A. T. S., broadcasting from the beautiful dining-room of the luxurious new Stuart Student Center Build- ing on the Arsenal Technical Schools' campus at Indianapolis, Indiana, on the occasion of the ten-year reunion banquet of the class of 1935 Surely I must be dreaming! Eagerly I leaned forward to catch every word. The voice of the announcer continued: How fitting it is that this beautiful building should have been designed by a member of the class of 19335 I refer to that famous architect, jack Cronin. Coming through the door are two of the best known actresses of the day, the Misses Elizabeth McCoy and Virginia Maier. Their latest play, 'Touchdown,' in which Miss McCoy is the football hero-but visit our handsome new Round Theater, now owned and operated by Albert Pugh and Roam Jordan, and see this remarkable play for yourselves. Norman Homeier and Willis Hostetter are just seating themselves at the speakers' table. At the Municipal Airport they have recently completed a new radio controlled rocket which has the distinction of having made the first suc- cessful trip to the moon. Watch their rockets! All eyes have suddenly turned toward a superbly gowned woman who is shaking hands with Miss Mary jane Barnett, dean of girls. Ah, I see now, it is Miss Esther Roth who owns and operates an exclusive women's Frock and Beauty Shoppe. T U N I N G I N YOUR PERSONAL FUTURE And there is the greatest track coach in the United States, Robert E. Lee. I must not forget to call your attention to the fact that this attractive banquet room was furnished by jack Larman, who owns one of the most up-to-the-minute furniture stores in the country. Mr. Larman is sponsoring this broad- cast. He attributes much of his phenomenal business success to the outstanding advertising campaigns conducted by the capable Miss Mar- garet Loudon. Conversing with the director of the high school orchestra, Miss Marie Schindewolfe, is Mr. Carl Kenner, who has risen from the rank of filling station attendant to that of general manager of the Standard Oil Company of In- diana. THERE SEEMS TO BE considerable commotion down near the main entrance. I see now that Miss Pearl Abbitt, candidate for mayor of Indianapolis on the Citizens' Progressive Ticket, and her campaign manager, Robert Crouch, have just arrived. Ac- companying them are the Misses Clara Mc- Closkey and Mary Lucas, internationally famous detectives. They are greeting the Misses Thelma Pugh and Carolyn Paine, executives of the P. and P. department store, and jovially referred to as the 'Mutt and jeff' of the business world. Well, well, and here's our national golf champion, Miss Fannie Atkinson. Over in the farther corner I see one of the speakers of the evening carefully reviewing his notes. It is judge Lewis Vogler, a power for good in our city. His pet theory is to keep young boys out of mischief by teaching them to fish. Walter Loman, Chief of Police, has just stepped over to greet judge Vogler. Tony Petric, world golf champion, is wav- ing his hand to William Belcher, known as 'Big Bill' in the law racket. With Big Bill are his law partner, Frank Anderson, and his attractive secretary, Miss Ruth Bandy. Here come John Armenoff and Robert Lamb. These young gentlemen are expert engineers, having recently perfected a most suc- cessful pocket radio. Shaking hands with Jerome McElbany, the renowned criminal attorney, is Warren Bald- win, inventor and perfector of the Razzle Daz- zle radio-controlled airplane, in which Steve Aslos made that daring non-stop flight around the world. Charles Taylor, millionaire commission man, and Victor McKinney, one of the worlds great captains of industry, are greeting old friends.
