IQCHBSCU TQO We were about to enter a building, in which a political campaign was being held, when our attention was attracted to a group of men who were having a heated argument about Men's Rights. We easily re- cognized George Steineck, a prominent engineer, Cecil Rue, a high priced plumber, Marvin Clapper and Frank Simmons, farmers who had come to see what kind of animals were kept in the stock market on Wall Street, and Everett Emerick, an eminent statesman. We gained a position inside the hall in time to hear the last two speakers, Jeanette Cowden and Janette Henry. Both speeches were excellent. We learned that the young lady just in front of the platform was Hazel Kibler, whose duty it was to record the minutes of the meeting. Two of the many newspaper reporters were Ruth Bates and Eileen Labus. The men must have lost interest in politics, for there was not a single one in that entire building. Among the rising politicians who had come for the meeting were Helen I-Ietherington, Marguerite Lotz, Pauline Miller, and Genevieve Sexton. As it was about one o'clock we went to the Cross-Hahlen Cafe for our lunch. Besides the owners of the Cafe, Myrtle Cross and Laura Hahlen, we met Grace Unkefer who informed us that she was a teach- er of mathematics. From our conversation with Grace, we learned that Hilda Whitacre was an instructor of English, Clara Smith of Home Economics, Hugh Dietrich of Sociology, Glenn Lautzenheiser of Agriculture, and that Hudson Wright was a football coach. Having finished our lunch we attended a Movietone Theatre. The young lady who sold us our tickets proved to be Vivian Russell. We were more than pleased to find that the main features were vocal se- lections by Lillian Hellyer and several readings by Pauline Stonehill. We had traveled quite a distance from the hoter so we rode back in a taxi driven by John Davis. At the desk we were told that Clark Woolf wanted us to come up to his radio station on the roof of the hotel. This we gladly did and while we were there, Clark re- ceived a message and a map fby televisionl from Thomas Weir and Harry Rutledge who were exploring Mars. Just then Waldo Grubbs, an aviator, came up to us and invited us to go to Mars in the airplane which was ready to leave. Of course no one would let an opportunity 'of that kind go by, so we all piled into the plane. There we found Lindsey Tope, a noted veterinarian, Ralph Finefrock, an automobile salesman, and others who intended to set up business in Mars. The mammoth plane shot up into the air like a bird. We saw the earth diminish in size,-then-suddenly-the engine stopped! Every- thing grew black! I felt myself being hurled through space. All at once I came to a stop. I opened my eyes. I was sitting on the floor of our car! So it had all been a dream, but even at that, it had been an interesting experience for me. --Mary A. Thomas Class Prophet Pane T-nf.-nh fi r
