The large red brick house is the home of Mr.A and Mrs. William - U nsion in the Lane who were also sweethearts in high school. The large imposing ma center is that of Helen Matz and Howard Reuter. They have been married re' h lttle stone cently and as yet have not returned from their honeymoon. T e cozy 1 - d bungalow is Mr. and Mrs. Donald Wilso1i's new home. They have recently retlre from teaching athletics at the Cathedral of Learning. The smart apartment belongs to Mrs. Frank Johnson. , d h t I 'kThat's the new National Bank The picutre of a bank entere t e crys a. A U of West View. Mr. William Dunn, a former member of Perry High School is president of the bank. Roy Hayward is assistant cashier. So we even have some bankers from the class, I commented. The next picture came very slowly and for some time I was not able to discern what it was. After peering at it for several moments I was able to see what seemed to me a large room with drawing table, easels, paint brushes and all the other paraphernalia of an artist. Two women and a young man were working very industriously. The tall blonde figure of the man, I recognized as Art Dimling. Are the two girls some more of Perry's former artists? I asked. k'Yes, the other girls were associated with Perry High several years ago. The tall, dark-haired girl is Rachel Mereness and the girl at the far side of the room is Mildred Wiltman. All of them are closely associated with the Parisian School of Art. - A fine trio of artists they were at school, I laughed. May they continue happily in their work. As the picture was about to fade, the witch urged me to look at it closely. Ah! In the far corner of the room, another artist sat' huddled over a table very deeply interested in the piece of work he was doing. Don't you remember him? He did a great deal of work for his school in the form of Perryscope covers and posters. Yes, it is our old reliable Shoup. A picture of long, white halls and doors opening into them slowly entered the ball. Whitefcapped nurses trod softly along the hall. I watched the ball closely. A nurse entered a room and proceeded to speak to her patient, a very handsome young man. Ah! The nurse was Helen Thompson and her patient was Charles Schar. At this instant the witch spoke, I suppose you remember, 'Courtship Under Difficulties? Mr. Schar is still very deaf and he is now suffering from an inferiority complex. I-Ie is improving very rapidly under the care of Miss Thompson. The door of the room opened and a doctor and three other nurses entered. The doctor proved to be our old friend, Craig Pearce and the attendant nurses were Lois Reed, Elva Cbermiller and Elizabeth Schirm. The picture faded before I was able to see what happened. The office of a large manufacturing concern presented itself in the crystal. The witch explained the representation before me. The door on the right marked 'Private' is the office of the President, john Ashcom. The many men and women that you see as stenographers, bookkeepers, typists and personal service men are his staff of workers. Rachel Murphy has charge of 'all the stenographers. You cer- tainly had a crowd of good stenographers in your class. Many of them have ref ceived written congratulations from the president recommending them on their fine work in the concern. Among those who received these recommendations are: Hazel McGlasson, Leila Medlin, Dorothy Relihan, Dorothy Jones, Flora jeffrey, Mae Kirschner, Ruth Sames and Esther Maier. Henry Knock is vicefpresident of the company and Harriet Jones acts as his private secretary. The scene shifted to the office of the New York Times. L'Miss Ruth Adams is editor of this great periodical. She is assisted by Blanche Fleming and a great staff of workers. The most outstanding of these workers are Ruth Curran of the advertising section, Lois Reno of the novelty section and William Kelley of the news section. These three have clone great service for the company.

I guess the main reason for such a feeling was that I didn't know whether I was going to meet my dream girl or just a bunch of ordinary girls. I had three of the best boys of the class to room with, but still I felt that I wanted to associate with some real nice girl part of the time. With this sub' ject on my mind I boarded the train. They say the first hundred miles are the easiest, but I d-on't know as I agree. Here's the reason why. The morning had gone rather slowly and every time I thought of the hours to come I felt a little chill run up my back. Soon I heard that lunch 'was to be served at twelve thirty. That sounded better than anything I had heard since I left Pittsburgh. I had it all planned that I was going to be one of the first to eat, because our car was right next to the diner, but-it was not so to be. After being disappointed by not getting to eat first, I flopped into the first seat I saw, and def termined to stand my ground and not be the last at any rate. Just then a gang came into our coach from some other school, so my room mate and hopped right up to the door of the diner and decided to wait until someone came out and then slip in. We had to stand in line for about half an hour, I think. Everybody else was feel' ing happy, but you can bet your last penny I wasn't Finally two tables were emptied. We were first in line so I knew we were to eat next. At last we were seated and what do you think happened? The table across from us had been vacant, so one of the boys of the trio which was left, fone member of our quartet had already found his ideal girl, j sat at this table and the other sat with me at a table for two. Now is the point at which the story becomes interesting. Three girls came in and sat down at the table with our friend. Right away I noticed a change in the atmosphere. The sun seemed to shine more brightly, the train seemed to be going much more smoothly and in fact every thing seemed different. Perhaps you are wondering why? In case you haven't guessed I'll tell you. One of these Girls was a wonder! Luckily none of the others picked the same girl as I did. Soon a con versation was started and I knew that from then on this was going to be a Hne trip I don't want you to think that we three good little boys did anything radical to get acquainted with these girls, because we didn't. Understand, everyone was very friendly on the trip, and you had to look out for yourself, so do you blame me? By the time we had finished our meal we had all become pretty friendly It happened that the other boys thought the other two girls very interesting, too Wasn't that nice? Oh Boy! Was it a grand and glorious feeling? Try it some time and find out. We told our latest acquaintances that as their coach was behind ours we would come back and see them some time in the afternoon. Here we parted, but not for long. You wonder why? Well here's the whole reason. We thought we had met the three nicest girls on the train and we certainly didn't want any other boys to gain the inside track. NVe stayed away for a little while. Gee! -it seemed like agessbecause you know it never pays to let a girl know you like her a lot. After we had waited until it seemed impossible to wait any longer, we went back to the last coach-not to see them of course, but merely to get a view from the observation car They must have thought of the same thing, because when we got there they were out looking hack towards home. Really I wasn't a bit disappointed anyhow. We greeted them with ,FL smile and the first thing you know we were talking about school Can you imagineit? After much conversation we got tired standing and someone suggested we go in and sit down-a very good suggestion by the way. Now every one knows, that six cant sit in one seat in an t Then the individual friendships started. It seems very queer, but we all acted as t Y rain so we divided into couples hough we had known each other -mile' i 'fav , . A :itz ,ff ,WW
