I also heard that the man who was leading the orchestra was a very famous director, so I decided to notice him when he came in again. It was Neale Hollingworth who occupied the Director's place: when I next looked there was Carrie Mae Johnson as the pianist! After the first act, I went to the stage door, in the hope of seeing Iva and Achsah and collided with Milton F itch amid a motley array of corsages and flowers. He dropped all his flowers and snatched at me, babblingg at intefvals I caught the words- house- party - One more needed - dirigible . My youthful visions of a houseparty on a yacht came before me-but in a dirigible!-I cast aside all my plans and accepted. I bought myself some suitable gowns. One of them was a gorgeous affair of sparkling beads on a background of blue. In the shop where I got it, Wilma Jones was the man- nequin demonstrating the latest styles. Margaret Patterson, true to her instincts, owned this stylish establishment. She told me that the night before she had listened over the radio to one of the famous Miss Lora Mabel Jones' talks on Social conditions in small towns. Due to her ever persistent efforts Granville and Newark had finally cleaned out all Ford traffic. - The House Party assembled at the American Embassy in Paris. There I met Red Barnes who was at this time acting as the American Ambassador to France. After two days of wandering about this huge dirigible, I met the American members of the Olympic teams. Among them were Margery Latta, the world's fastest swimmer and Cecil Johnson, who had recently run off easily with world's records in the 440 and 880. I had a long talk with my pal Margie. She told me that latest scandal-how Thel- ma Vorhees, a popular movie actress, was involved in a million dollar suit with her com- pany. Milton took the party to Monte Carlo and there I saw Barney Latta who, since he could not make a fortune in any other way, was winning a fabulous sum at roulette. Have you heard whether Alma Thomas is still holding her annual square dances at the Yellow Canary in Alexandria? They had become quite famous affairs the last time I was there. I found out that Sara Broughton is principal of this famous Beaux Arts college for girls, that we have heard so much about recently, and Josephine Jamieson is assisting in the stenographic department. I've heard that Vera McClain has perfected a new chewing-gum even far superior to the famous non-parkable. C-ive my regards to Laurabelle, who I hear is head professor of mathematics of the Podunk College. Congratulations on winning the National Womans Golf Championship for I937. Your affectionate friend, Milly Bigelow. P. S. If you have heard anything else about our old friends, do write and tell me at once. A Bit of Senior Gratitude As the advisor of our class Mrs. Shepard has won our lasting affections and grati- tude for the efforts she has put forth to make our class what it should be. Also at this time we want to exprefs our appreciation and love to Miss Jones for the time and interest she has devoted to make this Annual a success. Page Twenty-four
