Come on in the parlor and sit down. Yes, yes. This room hasn't changed either. It's certainly great to get back and be here alone with you again . . . lVIary.', '6Well, Bill, tell me-what happened to you. Tell me all about it. You must have had some awful love affairs. Don't be afraid, tell me all about them. I won't be jealous. caSure, I'll tell you about those things. But first, how are you? And how are the folks and your friend, Jeannette. 'cOh, they are all fine. But . . . H c'Say, does Helen still go around with that guy, er-r-r, Berny, I think it is? uWhy no. But . . . uWhat happened? Another male or another female? He was-3' Oh, they just broke. You know the old commonplace stuff. It's really hardly interest- ing enough to talk about. c'W'hy I was always a great friend of Jean- nette'sg and that because of youf' c'Yes, it was another female. MDO you know who the other one is? Yeh, Ruth Thurtonf' '4Ruth! Yes-why- Oh nothing. But they make an odd com- bination. He always talks about philosophical. abstractions and psychological re-actions, and she's the stupidest thing on two feet. Well, such is life! But Bill, You haven't told me about your trip yetf' NSay, what about John Sortisky? Who?', John Sortisky. You know, the one who wanted to go out West to studyf' That fellow! He went out Westf' 'cWhere? How? uOh, I don't know, Bill. He sure is one line chap. L'Yes, Bill, but your trip. You still haven't told me a thing about it. Did you have any thrilling experiences? How silly of me-of course you did. Tell me, what were some of thernf, 'cWell, one night we were out in mid-Atlantic GC and a storm broke out. Yes, Bill. And what happened? Were you hurt badly? '6Hurt? No, of pened. The rudder was almost damaged. Boy, rocking. course not. Nothing hap- how that boat was uBut what happened. What did you do? Nothing happened. We fixed the rudder. After the storm we straightened the deck up a bit, and-well, that's about all. 4'How fortunate. And what else happened, Bill dear? Did you fall in love with anyone? I had a bit of a crush on a woman in Australia. Nothing serious. She was just a cute little thing-a whim-nothing ever came of it. uWas she wicked. I bet she was a real wicked woman. And Bill, was she white? c'Yes, no, sure she was white. She was too young and stupid to be wicked. I have to laugh when I think of that affair. 'gWhy, Bill? Oh, just-Say I meant to ask you. How,s your brother getting along? Ben Fischer I'M searching for Love With the lantern of Youth. Edith Alexander

THE DOME Page 7 INCIDENTALLY GGWELL BILL, what is it that you must tell me tonight? You have aroused my curiosity, by calling me up and telling me that there is something you must tell me. Come on, I'm dying of impatience. 'gMary, imagine me away from you for eight months. Imagine, eight entire months. And maybe forever. Who can tell? uNeXt week, Tuesday night, six days from now, Iim going away. Iim going to take a trip around the World. It's my great oppor- tunity to get material for a great book. You understand, Mary. uSure. But let me in on the secret. What's it all about? MWell, I'm all signed up. l'm leaving for eight months. I wonit even hear from you. I can write to you, but I wonit be in one place long enough to receive a letter from you. But -I donit know- uDon't know what, Bi1l?'? You know, Mary, Iim happy in a way. It'11 be great to see all the strange things in the World. But then again-I'm sorry. I won't see you, I wonit hear from you for eight months. I can't even imagineiwhat it's going to be like-without you. c'Bill, tell me. Are you happy about going on this trip, I mean completely happy, of course. Are you, Bill? HI donit know, Mary.

BOX 7 R. H. There is within us a faint longing-the sort of discontent that comes from wishing one had ordered a chicken salad sandwich instead of the inevitable ham on white. This time, however, it concerns magazines-not sandwiches-from the viewpoint of a Senior. Since the Dome publishes club pictures and Senior activities besides stories and poetry, it has been criticized at journalistic con- ventions for being a conglomeration of literary and scholastic events. The ten- dency in most high schools is one which has been adopted in all colleges: a publication by the senior class of a year book, entirely Separate from the literary magazine, well-bound, and con- containing-in addition to Senior pictures and activities-whatever a graduate would want to have in a permanent form. Pictures of teams, clubs, the faculty, the 'building itself might he included. Under such an arrangement in Rich- mond Hill, each Senior class could devote an entire term to the compilation of a really artis- tic book, while the Dome could proceed with one objective, the perfection of its literary standard. Wliether or not a Senior class could finance a publication, whether or not capable super- vision and reliable editorship could be found, are problems. It is not an easy job-this sub- stitution of a chicken salad for a ham sandwich, but here's luck to some future Senior class that has courage enough to make the 'waiter change the order!
