S., or the exces- sive fumes which filled the Assembly Room on our hrst entrance or merely the s largeness of our numbers in those early days, which necessitated our being divided into two groups: something 'from the start indicated that A4 of 'og had its roots in very . unusual soil. Asiwe look back upon that period of our childhood, several things are especially worthy of note. Here we were Hrst initiated into thc mysteries of foreign tongues and compelled to learn French or German verbs. History, physical geography and the novel study, gymnastic exercises. Allllillecl our youthful minds with knowledge and a growing sense of our importance. Wie learned not only good things here. but what some call bad habits. NVQ fell victims of that cardiac trouble for which our school is famed. There are indeed said to be young ladies who pass through their entire course with- out a touch of it, but they are hard to find. She who has not had the joy of bringing American Beauties, six-for-a-quarter, even though they proved to be on wire stems. and .fl21Yin3' them unseen ou some desk-lid-has not trulY lived. 'lfheu there was another school epidemic which affected many of us sorrily in our .Freshman year-namely the late room habit. This was all very well after you got used to it. and it got used to you, but who upon innocently signing her first hour teachers name where signature t 9 of teacher was required, has not been considerably alarmed when advised that committing forgery is illegal? And so passed our infancy-that is our first year in the great, green prison-and we soon assumed the dignity of being Sophoinoresg those mischievous, over- bearing beings! Our most interesting teacher was our dear! dear! English one-Miss XX'ilder, and as we spent a great deal of time on Hawthorne, we appropriately called her Hepzibah. after the venerable dame of Hawthorne. Qui' next best times were with Miss Otis. who expounded the genus and species of tiny little insignificant Howers and, oh. dear! in whose room the most dreadful calamity once occurred. Miss Otis was dis- tributing ink, near where Minnie was industriously drawing. Totally unconscious the good child raised her head and was iminiediately bathed in a dark Huid, XYe will not dwell upon what followed-we just imagine Minnie having the ink scrubbed off. Then too. as Sophomores we first enjoyed the recess privilege. Salty pretzels being still some- what of a novelty. we purchased in great numbers: and it was as Sophomores that we had morning assemblies-and listened to the suffering Seniors recite. Many other joys we had, but we must speed with Father Time to our junior year. Ah! that junior year! year of joy! year of study! year of sorrows! especially ,year of study! Now. indeed. we felt justified in holding our heads high, for not only had we the opportunity of studying two foreign languages, but moreover, practically everything else which has been designed for the reformation of the juvenile mind. Our chief joy this year was the period with Bliss Evans, whom we knew had a soft spot in her heart for us. tlUo you notice how liloreunce Crowell and Hazel Colhoun blushl. On the other hand. our greatest misery was the elocution room. XX'hen we nrst came into that room we were told that we were tongue-tied, talked through our noses, stuttered. stood badly and other innumerable things. Truly Miss Smiths most prominent feature was her frank- ness. But soon our fear wore oft and we no longer got up with shaky knees and proceeded to recite in a weak little voice with tears in our eyes. No! we grew brave and learned to wax indignant. to earnestly beseech and to be sorrowful. But too soon sped our junior year-the year of hard study, yes. of many joys-and we began to realize how near the end of our stay in school was drawino' 10 6. :Xnd now we come to our greatest year. lgiy some mishap many of- us were under the impression that this year was to be a slight change for the better after the turmoils of the former years. but not so. Having gotten past the metric system which did indeed' turn up in a good many rooms, things went at a speed comparable only to a Bates or Biswanger recitation. Mark those names! To be serious. these children are our mathematical stars and might always be counted on to have all their algebra done in the easiest possible mannerg so that the rest of us learned to sit kind of low in our seats that Miss Linton's eye might fall on one of them. llut one would think we had only two .stars. which is not at all the case. Take for instance Martha Bond. who is very quiet, but pretty sure of her facts. Didn't we always feel glad when the sticker in chemistry or physics came to her-where it would be answered! Then again. there is Mary Clayton, who knows more on either of these subjects, and art and literature than any one else. but is too modest to let it be known! At a certain time this year, the members of A4 almost collapsed on hearing a message from Miss Smith, Girls A3 has almost finished reciting! Be prepared to give your platform recitation at any time. Hfell. we all went into the dreadful battle and came through with flying colors-. Many are the catastrophes which have occurred during this year. One day. while we were diligently searching for the impurities in water, we were startled by a crash of glass in one corner of the room. Upon rushing to the scene of action we found that it was Eleanor at heriold tricks-breaking test tubes. 'But instead of breaking only one as on former occasions, she thought to save Dr. Miller the trouble of changing a quarter by smashing five at once! That Eleanor has not been bankrupt by those chemistry teachers is a wonder to the whole class. Here in this same room, some evil designing person spilt that awful I-LSO4 across the floor! W'ho can tell what may have happened had not Miss Bramble discovered it. and rushing frantically around for the janitor. had the dreadful destroyer cleaned up? Here also Zummie and Eleanor got in dreadful disgrace by leaving the room without permission in company with the two demoralizers.! Mary and .l'igger -but we excuse f'Zum'mie because her heart has been stolen and in this room. she cannot control her- y 11 self. But Zummie's conduct in other rooms is sometimes' amazing, considering who she is. At one time she appeared with a little brown mouse which hopped around on a string. much to our amusement. But A4, as a class, is noted for its fondness for amuse- ments. Our dearest sport was Captain Ball. which so filled our minds during the first part of the term that the teachers tore their hair in rage that such a thing should be. Never mind if we did lose two games out of three, we were' the best team in the gy1n'r' Qso there, A7j. Many the times we yelled our siren-by which we are all knowng and after our own games were over, made known our presence at other games by this yell. Wfhat a wildly exciting time we had on the day of the game between A7 and the Specials. W'e' were in the basement with .-XS, last hour. and we knew it would take a long time to get to the fourth floor. .So when a bell rang, which we took for the last. everyone made a mad dash for the stairs. Wife reached the second Hoor but got no farther, for here we were met by scowling teachers, who. in their iciest tones, ordered us to march back to the basement. XLVhy? Because the bell which rang was only the second. lVe went back the best way we could, some of us, however, collapsing on the stairs from laughter. Noisily we trooped into the chemistry room. and were having a hilarious time, when in walked Miss Pincheon. CSilence.j After tearing us to pieces for our.most unseniorlike behavior, she left with the cruel statement that we were to remain until she sent word for our dismissal. And meanwhile the gym was filling up! At 2.15 the signal came for dismissal and up we rushed. and squeezed to the front of the crowd and watched the game. Wfas this all? Maybe we did more: during the intermissionyled by our's and AS's captain, we gave the siren for Miss Pincheon. Our hours spent in the Latin room were verily a legend of Sleepy Hollow. There was a continued cranning of necks by those who sat nearest the door, in order to see the clock in the hall, and a perpetual whisper of what time is it? from their less fortunate friends who sat further away. But when things were getting a little bit too sleepy. we were usually aroused by a violent sneeze, and a voice demanding that the door be closed. she felt a dranO'ht. Oh, yes! we all smiled for we knew it was .li0fCfer'f' 35 - ' bb ' for she was affected with a most peculiar cold all winter-one which only manifested 12 itself in a desire to sneeze. Poor dear! Wfe sincerely hope she will not be troubled all her life with this trying cold. . -liggeru is not the only one who is alfected in Aa, for one Thursday-on which day we had a test in elocution -ten of our number were missing. When handed the attendance slip, each teacher anxiously inquired as to what epideinic had broken out in the class. Meekly we, the sufferers, replied. a test in elocutionf' and they understood. Strange to relate the next day Miss liroiner conffratulated us on our 0-ood attendance. C v ,V bp C 6 ,. i Then We have another sufferer-Mary Cordingly-who is affected with lunibago, which she feels so keenly that in reciting to Dr. Keller, she said carbon has the forms, diamond NlL11lll33.gOH or graphite. Poor Mary! And so. with our days Havored with many excitenients, passed this, our Senior year -and now, as we draw near the end, we sigh that no longer can we heap llowers on the desks of our afhnitiesg' no more shall we quake second hour Thursday. lVith reluctant feet we leave the building which has sheltered us in so many joys and sorrows. and we leave with the firm assurance that never can there be another class as brilliant and as strono' as the illustrious HA4 of 'oof' 6 , 'mg H 'Q f X fied. 5 X?

Dance, held in Mercantile Hall, February IQ., 1909. The 19th proved to be a rainy, disagreeable evening , and we greatly feared the attendance would be fainall. But the large hall was crowded, and Missy Mann caine, notwithstanding the weatherp Wfe were very sorry that Miss Booth was unable to be with us, and inissed her very much. Our play was a great success, the girls, Marie Bowers. Marguerite Carrigan and Marian Bertolet, displaying '-vonderful artistic talent. The young gentlemen, under the super- vision of Mr. Taylor, addedgreatly to the interest of the play, 'especially Mr. Finn, who inipersonated the ininister. The other young inen who took part were Mr. Boyer and Mr. Keastg and to all of these A4 extends the heartiest thanks. 19 u xt 'args Q if 'I 'll' jim Q Qlgl ffm f t S i ieex h ylgag ge all iw 1,530 'Ht n .4 6 N 10 Y m f' , f- ' - 1154 ILM 'f 5,3 Q' f V -f lMl ll'i Flin- 4 i ,I 1 1 9 WW Q ff f ' it xfl.'f .N 4, i ff WW77 ' ab In WW A is iff Wifi! till A 'ff A pf if.

Here we meet with the Grecian goddess, and when at timies we fail to realize the importance of Ariovistus and Divitiacus, being so taken up with dreaming of-QMiss Mann once sug- gested boys -but-ach! neinll-we are gently called back to the presence of these nobles by f'XNill you give the principal parts of that verb? Wfhat that verb is we are sometimes doubtful. Ur again by the incessant question in Caesar, Can you explain why that verb takes the subjunctive ? Occasionally Caesar writes a joke, and though it must first be explained to us, still we laugh in agreeable appreciation. Wfednesday last hour, being our unprepared day, we are lulled to sleep by passages of sight Latin, and in the rear of the room by the occasional 'songs of Iigger. And here, on the eve of our depart- ure, let us express our abominations of sight Latin. How we dreaded to hear the request, 'KXfVill you try a little at sight Miss --? to which we must graciously submit as if it were an untold pleasure. Here again at regular intervals we hear it said, W'ell girls, I really think we'll have to begin taking longer lessonsf' to which we answer, Ch, Miss Mann! you said that last weekll' but to no purpose. On the whole, this hour is our most peaceful and serene, and in Room 4II we have no unseemly behavior. lt is with sadness that we draw near the time when no longer we shall be able to pass into this fourth- Hoor room and give Latin constructions and principal parts of verbs. 44 sei any 5 I g a ll A ' E bf -' ' A xxx Wx Q Q 5 r S1221 lRLS! girls! l could 'just shout at you, Miss B- began in her still, small voice, and the girls, properly humiliated by this scathing rebuke and by a pathetic glance from a pair of beautiful blue eyes, calmed down the usual quiet dignity of A4. Thus the first scene of our English hour ended, and the next actor. Wfilhelmina Biswanger with phyche and calendar, reluctantly came before the footlights and read CPD the passage of the day. I think-that's a ve-ry beautiful little Selection. She looked around for awhile thoughtfully and then said, Read it, again-XVilhelmina. Then the curtain, and the end of this performance. One day we were honored by the reading of a few choice classics from the literary efforts of our classmates. All were applicable to' Coleridge, but each one gave an entirely dihferent conception of him. For instance, in one, Coleridge industriously polished his style -why no furniture polish ad followed this, we had never ceased to wonder. An- other spoke of the world's beautif1ers, and we naturally expected to see Fritzi Scheff recommending the purest perfumed pink powder for pale people. But although these essays never ceased to distress our dear, teacher, they never ceased to amuse us, and pro- vided many giggles, all of which go to make up the bright side of a High School Girl's life.

For here, according to the little wee bear, an un- necessary word indicated certain weakness and lack of character on our parts, for which we of course lost heavily. Wfhether in the solving of problems, in which we DU stin- guished ourselves, or in the drawing of steam engines. or merely in the Wfednesday morn- ing recitations we did not show to best advantage in these quarters and now and again our best intentioned acts were received as but insults to science-whence unlooked-for conditions arose. But hate the sin and love the sinnersf' being our motto, we will enlarge no further on the former, and from henceforth entertain of the latter only the tenderest feelings, which, however, it must be added, vary directly as the square of the distance between us. 46 fguu r aw - 1 I K ff 1 X H !!

Most truly do we find it so-and here we pour into Miss Linton's sympathetic ear our troubles, especially those in the physics laboratory. At times we grow noisy in our tasks herein and are called to order by a gentle tapping on the bell and a low whisper, Girls, why do you suppose I ring this bell-for mly own amusement? Sad to relate-some of us fail to hear the bell. Wfe are a most brilliant class in arithemetic- indeed we are renowned-for in our midst are Lillie Bates and Minnie Biswanger, mar- vels in mathematics. If you get the same answer as Miss Bates in a test you're sure of an A+. But sometimes we grow weary of our good reputation and seek to destroy it- that is a part of the class situated in the southeast corner ofthe room-and are repeat- edly told that if a paper is sent around asking for my opinion of a girl, I cannot say she is satisfactory, if she talksf, Again, this unruly corner has been informed that one arithmetic paper is decidedly too small for more than one girl. Strange to say it is from this quiet roomi that we pass to our worst places of torture-elocution and physics-and we sigh resignedly when we hear the bell and pass with Huttering hearts to either one of the dreadful places. 47 l I VIIS i E , ' , .

Nothing could induce us to forget that a liter of hydrogen at OOC under 7601T11H. pressure at 450 latitude weighs .O8988 grams, or that nitrogen while being fourteen times heavier than this, which is fourteen times lighter than air, is yet lighter than air. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays! Wfhat pleasant surprises these days held in store none of us ever knew, for not only might we as 'well expect recitation, lecture or experiment, but moreover, it was never known beforehand which of the Graces would presideg at all events, during the winter months we could count on departing with a sore throat and the snililies. Qn the whole, this was for many of us a tough proposi- tion, for though we had our brilliantines,- we had also-some who must blushingly confess that if again called on for the method of collecting ammonia, as in memorable days of yore, we would he as completely stumped as if asked for the method forxroots, which in all too many cases, was only through 'fout-the-door displacement. 48 f ,-- ' ,Z rS? y 2535 ',7 Y-,Z RRR! My, but it's cold! Tm just so nervous my teeth are chattering! l know l'll forget my piece! Thus the second hour of Thursday began. Doubtful mutterings and strange miumblings of Browning filled the room, the temperature of which was about zero degrees Centigrade. Finally, after the last ,struggler had come reluctantly in, the door Was closed, shutting out all hopes of escape, and leaving, as it were, a group of young volcanoes ready to explode. A strained silence followed, broken only by the irregular beating of over thirty hearts. Then the master of mysteries, Patrick Henry, and William Pitt in one-appeared, and after a short breathing exercise, which lacked only the Uexpel with a Whistle, of a Hgyml' command, took her station at the- end of the room. Miss Crow- Miss 51- began, and with a sigh we realized that the ordeal was at hand. 'glvho was to be first? Miss Crowellfl the voice continued, will you kindly change your seat, T can't see very well. Then, after a pause, Do you all know your num- bers ?

Get awake and stay awake. Wlhether funny or not, the class laughed, and the young lady in the question, now fully convinced that her skirt was the right one, clasped her hands behind her back and slowly but surely, bravely and courageously trotted to Aix. Our shining light, Marie Bowers, was then called upon, and walked proudly to the front. Starting from Ghent with a nourish, she arrived safely at Aix, but then, to our amazement she Continued, i'And all I renieniber is friends flocking round. As I sat with iny knees twixt his head on the groundf, A gasp went around the room, and, visions of the brave horse, and Marie in a most ungraceful attitude hlled every mind. However, the thought of our own recitations brought us back to Room 304, and each girl determined to outdo the one ahead of her, that is, to talk faster-to gallop inore swiftly to Aix. Consequently the period following our elocution hour was, of necessity, a recitation in hoarse and very weak tones. So surely elocution is a wondrous thing, and the girls of old A4 were wondrous orators 50 Q'LPnanr'a' Svpvrrh UR class has always been noted for its good judgment in all important questions UH, but once, and only once, I fear you have niiade a sad, sad mistake.

' Nora. and Odo come first. This is a queer combination and it is a question in nay mind whether we would not have had a better history had Nora's case not been so desperate. But it was only on a girl. Had it been one of the opposite sex, we fear our history should contain a thrilling account of f'The Elopement of Nora ins'tead of Ellen, As for Odo, she's just alright, and it is our wish that some day she will not only have an opportunity to write history, but also to make history. Dorothy-here's our Dorothy and her poem. The poem is a dream and a marvel. How she did it,' is hard to tell. But great bodies represent great minds. It is now my purpose to see that the honorary title of Poet Laurate of the United States be conferred upon her for such distinguished service. Elizabeth is next. Hail to Zummie, the High Phophetess of Aa! Wlhere will the lapse of years find her? Do you think the Fates have designed her to be a teacher of chemistry?

Last but not least is Bessie, our Presenter. l think we could have done much better, but under the circumstances, we shall have to be satisfied with her. She must have been either in a dream or a trance when she made her selections, as they do not seem to fit in any case. However, as she was elected at the last minute. we shall have to forgive her. As for her assistants-the shock of their election must have produced mental inefficiency. r But taking the class as a wliolejit was the jolliest, the brightest and most Wide- awake 'fA4 ever enrolled in G.

All during the play'I had noticed a pretty, light-haired girl, Who, unlike anyone else present, seemed more interested in the girls of the class than in the play. I noticed that she had quite a conversation with our secretary and, as the Hoor was being cleared for dancing she came to me and asked if I Wasn't prophet of the class. I sadly admitted that I was and she informed me that she was Valeska, assistant to Astro the Seer, and that she was very anxious to see if Astro couldn't help me out. I had not known before that Astro was soliciting High School trade, like the photographers and printers, but of course I was only too delighted at the suggestion and I eagerly accepted the offer. She left me, after telling me to bring around something belonging to each girl in the class, so that Astro could put himsely in touch with their ethical vibrations, and thus prophesy their futures. Several day later Florence, Bessie and I, laden with packages. started off, and many and wonderful were the things We learned. The first thing we produced was a well-worn arithmetic, and after Astro had turned its pages for a time, he turned to us and said: Before me is a school room, Hlled with worried looking girls who gaze imploringly at a small, dark-haired teacher, who is saying, 60 - 'Girls, be sure you carry out to twelve decimal places or your answers may differ one- ten-thousandth. and for to-morrow, take the next two, pages of problemsfu I hastily turned the pages of the book, and sure enough, the nameyon the first page was4-Lilian Bates. She was teaching arithmetic in High School, with Minnie Biswanger for assistant. ' Our other treasures were just as successful and we soon found that Hazel Calhoun, rather than be separated from-was it Minnie?-was teaching in High School too-but her room was on the second Hoot, and her subject-history. For Elizabeth Alloways we could find nothing, for her books had been so seldom in her hands that we knew they would bear no marks, so :Xstro resorted to crystal gazing. An expression of great awe passed over his face for Qur jiggern was indeed a busy lady, but, alas, she came to a tragic end. Cn leaving school she had attempted grand opera, but all her managers, one .after another, fell in love with her and spoiled it all, because, of course, Tigger would never think of marrying. Wlhen she had tried them all, even Hammerstein, she and Mary Clayton started a dancing school where nothing but the drop step was taught and where there was a Home for Crippled Sykies' on the second floor. This was very successful, but, alas and alack, in an unguarded moment, they allowed Dr. Wfeir Mitchell to see them and, within a week, they were safely lodged in a private insane asylum, to the relief of their many friends. These revelations were too much for Astro and he spoke a few low words to Va- leska, who immediately disappeared into another room. Wfhen she returned she bore a tray on which were three tiny glasses. :Astro passed one to each of us, bidding us drink. As we sipped the potions our surroundings grew dimmer 'and dimmer, then the clouds seem to blow away and we found ourselves outside of a great railroad station. The sound of the automobiles was drowned in a great whirling noise that seemed to come from overhead. Looking up, we beheld great airships, that seemed as plentiful as Ds in a Halogen test. By turning our pocket-books inside out, we managed to get a penny to buy a newspaper with, and low and behold, the date on it was .lune 24th, 1919. On the first page was a notice of the publication of the much heralded book, The Vegetarians' Handbookf, by the great author. Edith l. Coggins. - 61 x VVhen we recovered from this astonishing piece of news, we followed the crowd up a wide staircase, into the railroad station. Looking around for some place to sit down, we noticed one woman who seemed particularly anxious, evidently looking for some one who expected to make the train that was just about to leave. Presently a dark-eyed woman with a flaming red necktie came puffing along, heavily laden with packages. She had almost reached her friend, when the wind caught her hat and sent it whirling into the air. In her haste to catch it, she forgot her packages and down they dropped, one of them coming open, allowing potatoes to roll in all directions. By this time quite a crowed had gathered and, with amused but sympathetic faces, helped to recover the unruly murphies and other belongings. Her much excited friend tried in vain to hurry her, but the train, with a loud whistle, pulled out, leaving them behind. Thats the way with you-late as usual. Wfere you ever on time? .But her friend was giggling so that she couldnit answer. Looking closer we realized that they were Florence Bodine and Virginia Brownlee. As there were no other trains for an hour we had time for conversa- tion and we learned that, being so fond of home themselves, they had become matrons of a l'Home for Infirm and Aged High School Graduates. Tears filled their eyes when they told us the pathetic story of Gertrude Bottoms. She was one of the most feeble in- mates of their home, having become premat.1rely aged through overstudy in her youth. Gradually this scene faded away and then from a distance I heard a cry of, Atten- tion! Right dress In and then as the View became clearer I found myself back in High School 'lgymf' That dear old gym, w'l'ere Miss Young had- reigned supreme in my time. But such a change, surely this was never Miss Young who was skipping about the room, although I noticed the same propensity-toward decided ideas on all subjects. For a time I was puzzled over this girl who was so different and yet so like Miss Young, and then I knew-Beatrice Balbirnie. Wfe found out that she was not only teaching -in High School, but had an advanced class in Captain Ball outside. Ethel Baker was captain of this team, with Mary Cordingly for captain guard, While Emma Boswell and Ethel Burns were star players. They had just won their tenth cup, as they had lived up to the good cxamiple shown them by their class team in High School. G2 As the next scene appeared I saw standing before us, our President. Surely, I thought, Eleanor will not be connected with I-Iigh School, at any rate, but alas, her career had been almost as varied as Iigger's.', After graduating she had tried, first a chicken farm, then trained nursing, and then a 'fCat Home. All these were unsuccessful and so. .O irony of fate, she had started to manufacture chemical supplies and furnished all frequenters of I B, G. H. S., with test tubes, free of charge, for Eleanor always was a kind- he-arted girl and she remembered her own troubles in that delightful CPD room. And then I thought I heard someone say Berdine, please! in resigned accents, but, as the view grew clearer, I found that it was only Clara, who was an elocution teacher, making a specialty of the correct pronunciation of proper names and the difference be- tween long and short i. The next scene came in with a blaze of lights and for a moment our eyes were dazzled, but then! O then, we saw a wonderous sight. ld7e were in a theatre and the attraction of the evening was Le Petite Danseusef' On the stage was a most attractive dancer with a wonderful coiffure, who was executing a rem.arkable dance to a song that was a cross between the Yama Yama Man and Hfungle Townf, It didn't take long to find out thatit was Marguerite Carrigein in her element, acting in Martinls Theatre. In direct contrast to this, the next scene was a church in which a missionary meeting was being held. VVe saw many familiar faces in the audience, among them Florence Burkart, Eva Bernstein and Martha Bond, who had all become fervent women- suffragists. The service opened with a deep contralto solo, by Carrie Cockcroft. The chairman then announced that a great treat was in store for us. Anna Campbell, a missionary, had just returned from her field in Burma, and would tell of her experiences among the heathen. The thing that interested us most was her account of an earth- quake, during which her fellow missionary Qdo Bull, had been the only calm one. During the shower of stones from falling buildings Udo had stood bolt upright, never screaming and not losing even one hair pin. The next thing we realized was that we were standing at the corner of Seventeenth Street and Girard Avenue, and in front of us was asign, emblazoned with Susceptibility 63 Specialist. This was new to us and we decided to ind out more about it. A passerby told us that it had been started by a High School graduate, who had an over supply of susceptibility, and by a secret process she transferred some of this to hard-hearted per- sons. Feeling greatly interested in this we determined to investigate' the matter, and on entering the house we found our worst fears realized-Nora Cashel had ended as we had always feared she would. After talking to her for some time, or rather after having her talk to- us until she had to stop for breath, we asked her why she didn't call her place simply a Love Beaureauu and she cried out in amazement, 'fDon't you know what else 'S. Sf stands for? and at the mention of the initials I seemed to recall a eer- tain captain at G. H. S. On seeing the next scene I drew a breath of relief. at least all of our class were not confirmed old maids, one had risen supreme over careers and vocations. Before us we saw Bess', Cameron, who had been married the day after commencement, and this, we all confessed, was no surprise to us, and it was indeed a pleasure to see Bess again, looking so happy and, wonder of wonders wide awake. , Hardly had UBess faded into space when we saw a carriage drive up to the Academy of Music with great Hourish, and out stepped a girl, attired in a white dress and carrying a bunch of American Beauties. Ilknew that it must be Commencement Day, ten years from now, and then I heard an exclamation from the other girls. It was Ethel Carrell, and she thought she was just in time for our commencement. But then, it dicln't clisconcert her, at all. to learn the truth, she just said. Better late than never, and went in to graduate with Class 'I9. Going in with her we found that Margaret Berger had written all the music for the commencement exercises. Peg was a very famous musician and we remembered that she had won laurels in harmony at High School, the only girl who 'had marks anything like hers being Eleanor Blackstone. The next scene was a luxurious furnished library, but after the irst glance I felt a wild desire to leave, for everything in the room had a decided French appearance. The titles of all the books that I could see were unmistakably French, and a French woman sat reading a French magazine. The only American looking thing in the room was a 64 gentleman reading the Evening Bulletin. At last the lady spoke, ulidquard, permez la porte, s'il vous plaitf' I was not mistaken, it was Marie Bowersg she had adopted every- thing French, and was married to-the delight of her many friends. Then we found ourselves out west where there was a troop of United States soldiers stationed. An officer was showing us through the garrison, when we saw approaching us a very familiar figure, it was Dorothy Bowman who had gotten tired of editing a NVoman's Rightsu paper and had married an army officer. The next scene was very familiar. It was the physiology room, with dear old Brother Bones hanging from the same old nail over the blackboard. In Miss Kramer,s place, however, was a very dihferent person. She had no time for Pro-ceed,', ap-par-ent or Cer-e-bel-luni, and her lectures were full of slang, so we had no difficulty in recognizing Marion Bertolet. Last, but by no means least, we found Alice Barcalow, the inost successful member of the class. She was principal of a girls' boarding school, and the only trouble was that being sent to the office was considered by the girls to be more of a privilege than a punishment. She still had that same bright smile that had won all her classmates, and the girls had one and all fallen victims to it until there was not one who was. not willing to do anything for her. , Gradually my surroundings began to take shape again, and I found myself again in Astros tapestry lined room. Astro himself sat before us, calmly smoking his water pipe, as if our startling experiences had not all been caused by him. As we rose to leave he asked permission to tell us our own futures, but we told him that we knew we were all destined for a sudden and tragic end. which would come when we told the Class of our experiences. As we were passing out. however, he whispered to me that Florence Crowell would keep a dairy and that Bessie Borton was going to teach kindergarten, be- cause the 'lyoungu always had attractions for her, and she would generally call all the little girls in school Elsie Cn our way home we agreed that some of our girls would prove very successful, but. after all. nothing could be too good for a member of A4, '09, ELIZABETH COLHOUN, BESSIE BORTON.
