AMONG MY SOUVENIRS Time: 1948. Place: New York City. Niece: Aunt Mae, what is in that trunk? It has not been opened for years. Aunt: That trunk, 1ny dear, contains treasures of my youth, souvenirs of my Senior year in High School. If you like, I'll open it and show you the trinkets. Niece: Oh, please do. Cl-30th open trunkl. Yvhatis that sparkling? VVhere did you get the diamond? VVhy don't you ever wear it? Aunt: Sidney Fitzgerald, the present governor of New York State, gave me that ten-cent ring when our class was in VVashington. It is quite tarnished now though. VVhat wise cracks he used to spring! They serve him in good stead now when he is making speeches. Niece: I often wondered how you happened to know Mr. Fitzgerald and always called him Sid . And the faded flower? Aunt: That was one of Mrs. Donald Deneen's, the famous singer's flower that she carried when she made her debut. She was formerly Ruth Zimmer. And wasn't she a clip in school? In our Senior play she kept us in gales of laughter. Charles Ditmas has become famous as a musician. Niece: May I have this yellow handkerchief, Aunty? Aunt: No, Merrill gave me that and I want to keep it. You know Mr. VVatson, the head of the chain of K'Genuwine Night Clubs, the largest one of which is on Summit Street. Two other members of my class are in- terested there too. Babe Hart is dancing there and Harold Marsh is Gen- eral Manager. You should see the cars he drives! These three have not changed much. They are as much fun as ever. Niece: Look at the pretty beads! Aunt: Yes, Mabel Johnson gave 'me those when I was maid of honor when she was married to Roscoe Straight. She is living in Rochester on East Avenue at present. Mabel and I used to have some pretty good times together. - Niece: Did you say you knew someone on the Board of Regents?
