...mtl The prosperous town of Atlantic Highlands lay garlanded and expectant beneath the lune sunshine of the year 1972. Crowds of gaily dressed people were gathering in the auditorium of the spacious high school. Today its seats were rapidly filling with the hundreds who wanted to have a part in the reunion of the class of 1952. A fine class. asserted gray-haired old Mr. tMeinert. As fine a class as the school ever sent out. I was the Principal when they graduated and I was certainly proud of them. Are most of the members here? asked Mr. Van Brunt. I'm told they are expect- ing a large representation. A large number are here. replied Mr. Meinert. Why that is Iohn Edwards over there. He came in his own airplane this morning. He certainly has a fine one- darts along the sky like a bird. You know he's the orator of the day. He is a cor- poration lawyer, spends most of his time in New York, though he has a fine home up the Hudson. They're expecting a large num- ber of the old class to come in on the Limited. That will be in soon now. He spoke truly, for in a few minutes eager faces were watching the approach of the early afternoon Air-Line Limited, whose swift flight along the blue of the overhanging sky was accompanied with a whirring like the beating of many wings., The band began their exultant melody of welcome: handker- chiefs were waving and excited voices call- ing out greetings as the great passenger plane came to a stop. The members of the class of 1952. who were already present. were instantly welcoming the new arrivals and presently the company turned in the direction of the school. The stage was set and all was ready for the reunion of the class who -had graduated twenty years before. The old-time members gathered for the opening march. There were heads with graying locks-if the truth is to be told, there were heads beginning to lose their locks. but the old fires of enthusiasm burned in eager eyes and perennial youth glowed in their hearts. The band finished the introduc- tion of a lively march and the class of 1952 of the Atlantic Highlands High School took its place on the flower-trimmed platform, with perhaps more dignity but with the graceful ease of twenty years before. As the large company looked upon these men and women who had returned with laurels for the old school they broke into deafening cheers of welcome. a welcome so hearty that those of the class who did not blush with pride blushed from sheer excitement. The music changed to the strains of America and the assembled members be- gan the song written for the occasion by Za . Ruth Madden, who had been given to the writing of verse in high school days: They started out bravely, but even the voices of Iacquelyn Williams, and Martha Machette, who had been noted singers of the class in the old days, grew trembly, and Richard Kleva, who had been notorious as cr cut-up. was seen to blow his nose with great gusto and then furtively wipe his eyes. As the song closed, Carolyn Gehlhaus. who had gained much poise from presiding at class meetings. stepped forward and said: Ladies and gentlemen, I have the great honor to introduce as the speaker of the day, Iohn Edwards. who has left his work in the.busy New York law office to be pres- ent at this gathering. We are proud of Iohn: he has gained wealth and distinction: he has also gained a five-foot waist line and an accumulation of avoirdupois in keep- ing with his dignity. He flew over here in his private plane: his next flight will be into oratory that will hold you spellbound- we know .... ! When the cheering had ceased Iohn came forward with his old-time assurance multi- plied several degrees, and began: Ladies and gentlemen, schoolmates of the good old days, and friends of bygone years, I see before me many faces that are new, but I also behold many that were present at the graduation of this class twenty years ago. To you who saw us go forth upon that auspicious occasion, bearing the trophies of Commencement, I would say that we have returned-not upon our shields. but bearing them laden with honors for the best school a class ever left, Atlantic Highlands High. Before I proceed with the address of the occasion I wish to present the members of the class of 1952 who are before you, and give you a few facts concerning them. I will start with Shirley Andrews and Virginia Meinert. In high school they used to advo- cate better order in the assemblies: they wanted the lralls kept clean and the school grounds beautified: they also wanted half of the girls to hold school offices, so it is not so surprising that Shirley and Virginia went in for civil reform. Then here's Sebastian Muratore and Calvin Frazier. Both have prosperity written all over them: it says not only do- they have money in their pockets but also in the bank. Yes, Rollis Bock is a plumber and he can retire any time he wants to. Iohn Malon- son is a well-to-do baker: he started in a humble way at home because his wife- you know he married Elaine Maxson, on whom he used to be sweet. wanted to be in business. She started a hat shop: Iohn had to get so many meals that he finally started a public bakery and is doing fine. Karl Van Brunt, as you know, is principal of your school at this time and Solveig Friden, who has refused many offers of marriage www- rw.-v-'H because she's in love with teaching. has charge of the English department. They both wanted to teach in this school in order that they might be revenged on future classes for the roastings the Faculty gave them during their high school years. Iames Kehoe, and lane Kugelman are part of the backbone of the country-for if good farmers are not the country's backbone tell me what is. Iames married our capable lane. who always had a fondness for chick- ens. calves and baby baa-baas. She is also caring for several who as babies, boo-hooed. Here also are Lois Muir and Edwin Custer who have won much notice as chautauqua speakers: Donald Bradshaw. who is a fam- ous cartoonist for leading city dailies: and Richard Agee. whom people love because he pulls teeth painlessly. Margaret Richards. Marlene Barber. and Carlene Petersen have become rulers of the world-according to the line which says, The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. They are all hap- pily married and are well supported. Our Morton Ioy is a worthy doctor. He is an allopath, and while it's said that all paths lead to the grave. l want to tell you Morton doesn't lead patients there very often. Charles Anthony is a railway director: Peter Guzzi is a noted inventor: he got out a good car that is cheaper than a Ford and he's doing fine: Thomas Dobson and Theodore Hall are architects: Barbara Ely is a land- scape gardener: Henry Feste is the thief of the class: he stole an office from his 'op- ponent: he stole a march on the voters and got into the legislature-now he's in Con- gress no 'telling what he's getting. Alida Voorhees is in the State Insane Asylum-she has charge of it. Doris Leonard. Antionette Barbetta, and Virginia Spicer taught school for a time but the numbers grew tired so they all took schools of one scholar and are making splendid home-keepers. Arthur Seig- fried now has his own Photography Studio and is doing quite well. Richard Snyder is now starring in the play Lover Boy which is on Broadway. Richard is really a fine actor. Michael Cinkosky has tried his pen at writing for the public. You've all read his articles and stories. Ardeth Williams now has her own Beauty Salon in New York City. Robert Geraghty has settled down in Texas. He owns a beautiful ranch which is envied by all. William McGowan is a stock car racer. He has won many medals and we hope he continues to win them. Now dear friends. having introduced the old class of 1952. I will proceed to the address to which I invite your attention. Here the recital of the class reunion ends. for if we endeavor to recount what the flow- ery orator of the day said, the farmers in the audiences will not get home in time to milk the cows tomorrow morning.

WA Ill GTO TRIP Where the avenues come together at the heart of Washington, D. C. stands the Capitol, its iron dome rising 300 feet above the city. It is the home of the Senate and House of Representatives, the scene of great debates and decisions: it houses the old Supreme Court chamber and a historic collection of paintings and statues. But to millions of Americans the Capitol is neither Court nor Congress, neither forum nor gallery. It is the symbol of the United States itself. When the Capitol was first occupied, the House and Senate shared the same wing, but in 1807 the House was able to move into its new chamber, now Statuary Hall. Here the acoustics were so bad that curtains were hung between the columns in a vain effort to smother echoes. Congressmen were so upset about this that they actually introduced an amendment to scrap the Capitol and move into the White House. But it was defeated 75 to 27. The solution was finally found in 1857 when the House moved into its new wing, leaving the old chamber to silent statues. Statuary Hall served as House chamber for 50 years but finally became so crowded that members could not get out for refreshments. They therefore, had to have food passed down to them from the galleries on long poles. Statuary Hall is now a gallery of sculpture. The great dome of the capitol, weighing nine million pounds, is made of iron shells painted white, and is topped by the bronze Statue of Freedom, which stands 19 V2 feet high. So excellent are its proportions that many state capitols have tried to copy it. The dome was built by Thomas Walter, and it is not only an example of beautiful design, but also a miracle of construction. Its cast-iron parts are so put together that they can slip back and forth as changes in temperature make them expand and contract. At the top of the dome is Brumidi's mammoth fresco. The fresco, covering 4,664 square feet, was done by the Italian refugee, Constantine Brumidi. Inside the building, the great circular floor is rimmed with statues., and the walls are decorated with eight huge paintings showing scenes in early American his- tory. But the strangest feature of all is one that Capitol visitors never see. Underneath the floor behind locked doors is a vault with a black-draped bier.
