very swiftly in our rocket ship, we soon found Berlin. We located Berlin High and found Catherine llolysl teaching French and Dante Georgini working out a difficult physics problem with his class. Your physics marks were certainly envied by your classmates, Dante. The ranch of Lillian Collins, who was married to a big game hunter, was our next stop. We found Mary Fagan in a very familiar role — that of veterinarian, curing a tame lion of insomnia. Next door we found a Boarding House conducted by Alice Bodack. Raymond Riggott acted as doorman here. Helen Panasewich could be seen in the act of preparing the noon-day meal. The welfare of the inmates was supervised by Mildred Stange. Picking up the “Berlin Beacon” I was confronted by glaring head- lines — “Notables Return Home.” Reading on 1 learned that these were none other than Mary Pas- kawicz and Lincoln Ellsworth, famous travelers and Richard Fagan, tennis champion. Turning the pages 1 glanced through the “Book Review” written by Mary Horhal and noticed that a second volume of Gloria Haddock’s poetry had been published and could be obtained at the Sullivan Book Shop. Marie always managed to have a recent best-seller. The Sports page also informed us of the activities of Walter Mayer, commentator and writer, and Edward Magada, second Babe Ruth. Tired of seeing all our classmates inactive, we asked Dr. Reedheman if he couldn’t use the same sub- stance that brought us to life to bring them back again. With the use of powerful machinery he soon spread the gas all over the whole western hemisphere. An acid had also been added which would tend to make the person return to the land of his childhood. Soon Berlin possessed the same atmosphere and Berlin High echoed with familiar sounds. Signed HELEN KBIWACKI HELEN ANNE WILCOX

made by us through the ice until I heard a cry and realized that Helen Anne, who had preceded me, had fallen over something. Focusing the light in the direction of the cry I managed to locate her but she was below me. I descended the stairs to her and found myself in a simply decorated room. Along the walls were murals of life in the early twenties, painted by none other than our former classmate, Sanlina Tarca. Furniture, made distinguished by simple lines, designed by Harry Wall and his partner Edward Barswenski, was placed about the room. Glancing about the room, we discovered that this was the “Moore Escorting Bureau” conducted by Margaret Moore. It was indeed a surprise to us to find Mar- garet employed in this line of business. Mary Sanada, Cora Bernardo, Naomi Lehman and Bernadette Gerdts were employed by her. The letterhead of dark Boardman attracted our attention and we soon learned that he was manager of a similar bureau in New York City. Richard Bowers and Leslie Clark were acting as escorts in the “Boardman Guide Bureau”. We stepped into our rocket ship and in a few ' minutes w ere landed on w hat was once the most prosperous city of the world, New r York. Just as if it were second nature with the rocket ship, it landed in Roose- velt Airport. We espied a ship designed by Alan Dyer and piloted by John O ' Brien. We also found Lillian Taylor acting as co-pilot on this airliner and Ida Saravalli as hostess. We next came upon a hospital and the first person we recognized was Sylvia Culver, psychiatrist. Slow- ly wending our way down the corridor, we next met Genevieve Kokoski, technician and Lorraine Mc- Cormick, dietician. In the ante-room, we found Antainelle Simeone, head nurse and William Brusick, doctor, evidently discussing a case when the glacier came. The modern trend was noticed also in this hospital, for the patients’ hair was cared for by Florence Fitzgerald, hairdresser. Leaving the hospital we proceeded to Radio City. Drilling in, we found a huge Diesel trailer owned by the concern of William Dehart and Edward Zigmont. Reaching Radio City we immediately made our way to the broadcasting studio and found Mamie Bunko with the music of our class song in her hand. In a group we noticed Edith Baraltiero, director and oboeist, Dorothy Byrnes, first violinist, Adele Lukasiewicz, trombonist, and Bessie Biggolt, trumpeter, scanning the scores of Bismark Essa ' s recent opera. Old memories were awakened by the sight of our classmates and we longed for home. Transported
