Today we Seniors are stepping Through the arch of that open door Witlv strength in our hearts to travel The road that is stretching before. But we pause 'ere we start on our journey To turn on the threshold and gaze Through the door that is closing behind us On our happiest Salem days. Perhaps in the now distant future Weill come back from countries afar, And find that the portal of Salem Through memory still is ajar. fx Z S91 JMX or s JJ . , O I A 1 8 X ie X 5- A,

I'm sure you would enjoy going in for a few minutes, and I think most likely that you will see some of your old friends in there, my companion told me. VVe went in and had not more than gotten seated when a peculiar little elf came out and announced that the feature of the show was to be next and that it consisted of the two best women bareback riders of fairyland. Of course, we were trying our best to hear the announcement and to see the performers among all of the uproar and who should come running out and gracefully jump on the beautiful white horses but Gertrude Stockton and lvlartha Lee Copeland. Before they finished they proved them- selves to be all that the announcer had said of them, and, of course, we were mighty proud. VVe went over to speak to them and just before we left Gertrude told us that Frances Williaiiis and Claire Davis were with the same company that she and IVIartha Lee were and asked us if we had seen them. VVe told her that we had not, but that We would like very much to. So she took us over to a booth where a dumpy little fairy was yelling at the top of his voice, Step right this way, ladies and gents, and see the two wonders of this land-Frances the Fat and Claire the Slim. Upon en- tering we saw Frances and Claire grinning f1'om ear to ear, and just as we were about to speak to them we were interrupted by the loud clang of a bell which seemed to come from some distance. Our curiosity being aroused, we trailed off down the road until we came to a large crowd of people gathered outside of a building and upon inquiry found that the yearly revival of the elves was in session. VVondering just what one of these was like we went in, intending to stay for just a minute, but upon finding that Anne Brown was the evangelist and that Charlotte Duffy was con- ducting the singing for the occasion we stayed so long that when we came out the streets of fairyland were deserted and all of the elves and gnomes had gone in for the night. Suddenly I seem to recognize familiar sights-tall trees, a running brook, many beautiful flowers-of course, then I realized that I was back at Salem and that fairy- land was gone forever. 17 -,QQ 'rd if ' g i'-' .4 .. .2.-. i11'-f'f'f--'- -, -. il ff . 9 595 . . was
