MARGARET GU55 WAS patiently poring over my allotted lines of Virgil for the next day's lesson when suddenly I seemed to stand beside Aeneas oh the brink of the river of forgetfulness. Across the stream I saw a beatntifui city 3.116 a voice whiSpered to me, that as I had been faithful in following Aeneas. I was now to take a journey myself and survey the future lives of my classmates in the HCity of the Years to Come. I was immediately transported across the river in a submergible aeroplane. which bore the trademark of HRosselle 3t Company. As I walked up to the gates of the city I heard several girls singing a song whieh sounded remarkably like llSemper Fidelisf, and I recagnized Dorothy Croswell's voice rising above the rest. I entered the city and the Flrst thing I noticed was the new edihce of the classical high school, the memorial Ieft by the class of I920. The walls of the building were covered with advertisements. the mute testimonial to Mellville Tlmnfs business ability. and the Hours were laid with pennies from the class treasury collected by Alice Huerkamp. Here I saw several classmates who had risen to honored positions on the faculty. Kathryn Pichel was head of the Department of Modern Languages, and Julia Parker. Professor of Science. had just received a pro-meritus badge for her work in Chemistry in the school. but was about to abandon this wonk to write a book on The Crisis in the MiniStry. Virginia Mayer was interviewing the principal of the school in regard to a position in the Sc'ence Department as successor to Miss Parker. I inspected the laboratory on the fourth Hoor, where Max Le MS was working out a patent medicine, iII-Icvw t3 Grcw Tall in TwentV-four Hsurs. He was assisted by Paul Cook and Robert Dooley, who prepared the distilled water. The crowning feature of the building was the gymnasium on the tenth Hoar, where Sophie Nasun and Katherine Wickware ruled supreme. In the auditorium, John CampbeII. who had just returned from a trip through the Alps. was delivering a lecture on uGlaciers.H Thirty
