T II If M M China in connection with a travel film. She had just completed her third' world tour with MARGARETHA BUNDE as companion. BERTHA BRAVERMAN was featured with her orchestra. Among other hits they played a new song by RUTH LARSON, who has taken Irving Berlin's place in popularity. MARGARET LEIENDECKER was the pianist, SYLVIA FRANK, the saxophonistg EVANGELINE LARSON, the violinist. MA- RIAN ROSSBACH was in a tumbling act. Marian had taken up tumbling after being valedictorian as she was tired of being so brilliant. On leaving the theater they purchased some ice cream and found it to be manufactured by CARMELITA ASMUSSEN, who valued her company so much that ESTHER ANDERSON, president of an insurance company, found her easy to sell insurance to. Their appetites not being appeased they stopped at ANGELA HODGMAN'S Hhot dog stand, and consumed no less than seven hot dogs apiece, Of course, they felt queer after this so they located a hospital and were attended to by doctors PAUL LARSON and HAROLD ELWOOD, while LILLIAN BERGMAN and VIOLET ERICKSON, nurses, took their temperatures. When the crowd felt able to walk around again, they went through the hospital. In a private room filled with flowers, they saw ABRIELA MARCUM. She was suffering with a broken leg incurred by a fall from her horse. In the next room was GEORGE EORZLEY who had broken his collar bone trying to get to work on time: ALFRED ADAM, who is a bicyclist, and had fallen off his bike after winning the six-day's race: CHARLES MCMURRAY, who was having his throat treated, as he is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and his voice had deserted him. He was con- versing on his fingers with his nurse, HILDA ECKLUND. JAMES OLIVER was amusing the chronic patients with a chalk talk and finally was removed by Dr. LOUIS ODESSKY because one patient got a choking spell from laugh- ing. GEORGE COLAIZY'S drugs were used extensively in the hospital. After leaving the hospital, the tourists went to their plane and left for New York. Upon arriving in New York they were met by ART CHRIS- TENSON, the high pressure saleman, who meets all incoming planes in order to sell his bonds. Their next shock came when WAYNE PETERSON, a big political boss of New York, greeted themg his partner is ARTHUR HOCH- BAN, the champion talker of New York. Starting for Broadway, they stopped at a clothing store run by PAUL BERNSTEINg EREDA SCHULZE is his crack saleswoman and MARGUER- ITE SCHENK his stenographer. BURNEY THOEN, an expert accountant, was checking over Marguerite's books. while DORIS SWAN tried to sell Paul some of JUDITH SMOLIK'S dresses. Tired, the travelers adjourned to MAMIE EIORITO'S hotel. Mamie greeted them personally. RALPH KENNEDY, GEORGE SCHNEIDER and HENRY JOHNSON were the pee-Wee bellhops who showed them to their rooms. On leaving the elevator they met JOHNNIE MAE BLAKE and ORA JONES who were doing settlement work. The party sat around discussing the latest scandal. They were highly interested as ELLA MAE VAN DYKE'S husband, Count Roon, had been im- prisoned for larceny, stealing two cases of dill pickles as he liked them so, and his lawyer was ELSIE PETERING. They left the discussion in mid-air and went to dinner. They were conducted to their table by ITALO BERTINI, the proprietor. Two of the party decided to dance to the music of JOHN DOUG- LAS' orchestra, and BENJAMIN STERNOVSKY received loud applause for a saxophone solo. They saw JOSEPH EOLDOE, now a retired millionaire. At the table next to him sat MYRTLE NELSON, who was on her honey- Page Twenty- three

T II E M U financed by SAM BRAUNSTEIN, who is always willing to back a sure thing. Suddenly, Alice saw DOROTHY BRAVERMAN, who is the world's cham- pion shorthand writer, taking notes upon all that was being said. Alice rushed over and greeted Dorothy effusively. Alice asked Dorothy where she got the smart outfit she was wearing. Dorothy replied that she got it from the SIMOS sisters, ultra-fashionable modistes of Washington. WALTER ROSER, of pugilistic fame, was also at the port with his backer, FRED GRUBE, now a great capitalist. They were there to meet GEORGE AMIDON, the champion, and his manager, AARON SHADUC. The party decided that they had seen all the M. A. graduates in Wash- ington, so they set off for Philadelphia. Just as Eleanor was about to start the plane, the party saw a man rushing toward them. It was none other than OSCAR GITLIN, He asked if he could not join the party because he had to be in Philadelphia to put through a fur deal with IRVEN LINDEEN, man- ager of a midget show who was buying his midgets fur coats for the Winter. After arriving in Philadelphia and going on an inspection tour, they saw FANNIE RABINOVITZ, IRENE HETZEL, and MARGARET KOEH- NEN who were dressed as Quakers. The party was surprised-but found that they were merely masquerading. As the party walked down the street they saw a most exclusive looking establishment called the Schletty School For Girls. The party entered the school and were greeted by STANLEY HANSEN who helps the sisters procure good students for their school. He took the visitors to the office where DELLA AXLING. secretary, reigns supreme. Della was very glad to see them and immediately summoned HELEN and DOROTHY SCHLETTY. Helen and Dorothy took the group on a tour of the class rooms. They started from the basement where the dancing room was situated. MARJORIE ROHLF was teaching her dancing class a new tap step. Marjorie asked SARAH TORRE- DOR to stop playing the piano and they both came to greet the newcomers. They then moved on to the gymnasium, where MILDRED TOENJES was conducting class. They visited the rest of the classes and found MARION BERG taught scenario writingg BARBARA WHITE, spelling: MILDRED HAASE, physics: HELEN NURNBERG, Latin: HELEN SLATER, design- ingg VASSILA STRENGLIS, millinery: ALICE HAYES, dressmaking: DALE LEACH, oratory: FRED KLINKHAMMER, archery: LOUISE JAHN, elocution. and EDWARD CHRISTENSON, fencing. Helen explained that their school was noted for its wonderfully healthful and nourishing meals. This was owing to the fact that they employed two trained dietitians, ALICE OLSEN and MARGARET EABLE. The tourists enjoyed a delicious dinner and in particular the beans. Helen explained they always used Cohen's Beans -yes, LILLIAN is the factory owner. After dining it was decided to explore Philadelphia further. On a small side street they discovered a book store run by ANN AVRICK, while MAR- GARET TEGELER had a candy shop next door, where she handled the fa- mous HE-VI chocolates made by HELEN REITAN and VIVIAN BISHOP, a well known firm. They entered a floral shop and found that the owner was DOROTHEA OLSON. They found Dorothea visiting with DOLLY HAINES, Who has won fame and admiration as a policewoman. Dorothea was just putting up an order of three dozen roses for HAZEL PRESTON, famous dancer, from PHILIP RICE, now Mayor of Whoopee Prairie. Hoping to see Hazel, the tourists went to the LA FORCE Theater, owned and managed by LEONE. Here they not only saw Hazel but also BONNIE SHEPPARD, a well known ballerina. They were delighted to hear JANET UGGAN give a talk on Page Twenty-two

Dining with them were MILTON KAUFMAN, world renowned ora- torg RUTH REHAK, song writer, JAMES REICHOW, America's greatest trombonist, ELLA MAE LUEDKE, New York teacher of harmony, and her partner, MILDRED QUADE. Of course, the trip to New York would not be complete without a visit to Greenwich Village. They came to a huge, barn-like studio owned by MARIE MOONEY, and heard sounds of revelry so they entered and discov- ered a party of temperamental '29 graduates who were celebrating the return of GORDON BEAR from Europe where he had sung before the Crowned Heads. REGINA BLACKOWSKI and DOROTHY WHITBECK were there. They are now famous short-story writers. LAURA FROST, IRENE AMOS, THELMA HOIVIK and ARLENE MERRILL, Broadway actresses, were dis- cussing their favorite plays, GRACE KNACK and EMILY COOK have formed the corporation Knack to Cook. LEON BERMAN, saxophonist, played for the party. HENRY CASSELIUS, bustling politician, was round- ing up votes. His publicity manager, AULDEN CULLENS, was with him. Two mathematics profs., SANFORD FALBAUM and ARTHUR STOECK- MAN, came to the party to take some recreation from the grind of teaching math in New York high schools and to meet their former classmates. The morning after the visit to Greenwich Village the tourists left for London. They arrived there the following morning and were immediately lost in the fog. They finally located a bobbie and found him to be LOUIS ALTMAN. He directed them to the head of Scotland Yard, MARVIN COX. IRVING BERNSTEIN, Marvin's right-hand man, very obligingly directed the now bedraggled group to the HKIMBALLH hotel. LAURA made her fortune as a coat model and went into the hotel business as a side line. After a re- freshing nap, the party went to RICHARD ALLEN'S broadcasting station where Richard is head broadcaster. PAUL DERAGISH and BYRON NOR- LANDER, the two red crows, were on the air. Their number is listened to all over the world. Then Richard announced a talk on Chemistry in the Home by GERALD FRANKE. Gerald gave as an example of the perfect home, the house of MARJORIE BLANK, nee SJOBERG, the leader of Lon- don's 4'Smart Set, On their way out they found EUNICE HANDSCHUH waiting to give a lecture on A'Woman's Place in Politics. In the afternoon, the group went to a baseball game played by the All- American Team versus the All-English Team. The whole All-American Team was made up of M. A. 1929 graduates. The shortstops were DOMI- NIC PERIZINO and SIDNEY SWADEN: right iield, BLAINE WALL: left field, HARVEY PETERSENQ center field, MATHIAS FITZGIBBONS: third base, EDWARD FAYED3 second base, WILLIAM ROYCEQ first base, PAUL SAUBER: pitcher, RAY REIBESTEIN: catcher, JOHN HOISER: substi- tute, KENNETH HEDBERG. The chief trainer was GORDON VARS. The whole was managed by TOM DONAHUE, and financed by MARCEL- LA GRABOWSKI. MARIE REHBERGER was selling delicious pies, made by GRACE GORVIN, and popcorn grown by CRYSTAL GRAHAM on her model farm. After the baseball game the tourists went to one of England's famous steeple chases. MARIE CAPETZS jockey, PETER BOOS, was riding one of MYRNA CARLSON'S famous thoroughbred horses. RUTH FLOWERS and JENNIE FORSEEN were discussing RUSSELL GROH'S horse, Shot Put, while ELEANORE HAGBERG and RALPH PULKRABEK rode up to greet the tourists. After the Steeple chase they went to the famous Wimbledon Tennis Matches and found FRANK ALLGREEN star of the day, with LEONARD Page Twenty-four
