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

As I left the school I met Katherine Gaibreath and Rosalind Cantz. who weze making a visit in the part of the city. I learned that they were conducting a branch of Walnut Hills High School in Cali- fornia, for those who desire a higher education. Near the school I noticed a large publishing home where James Tull edited his magazine, iIVVoman's Work Outside of the Home. The special feature of the current issue was an article by Dorothy Koch, entitled, HLatin a5 a Cure for Prussianism.n The latest bulletin in the window announced that Carl Koch, who had been shot to Mars ten years ago, had just been heard from and that Charles Lane was starting on a flight to rescue him. On the main street of the city stood the huge building erected by Stanley Mills. where the Executive Council of the League of Nations was holding a session. I was rather surprised to see that Robert Biltz presided. and that Walter Broker was one of the prominent nine gentlemen about the table. Bob was standing upon a chair, leading a cheer for Agnes Rutherford. who occupied an honored place as the first woman member of the Council. On a suburban street I noticed a dressmaking establishment conducted by Dorothy Cooper and Mary Sarver, the famous costumer, from Paris. They were interviewing Margaret Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Rugg, the designers from New York. in regard to the season,5 styles. On the second Hour of the building Elizabeth HelEerich, in partnershiip with Heien Rolf, offered treatment in HReal Red Hair, Guaranteed to Curl. Here I saw Evelyn Stewart. who was having a brilliant career behind the Jfoot- Iights, and I accompanied her to the home of Katherine Hungarland, who had formerly been one of her companions, but now was busy in a home of her own. Farther along was a domestic school established by Leda Roberts, Martha Jones and Jessie Greer. The work of the school Was a great success, for twenty out of the twentyvtwo graduates had entered the state of matrimony within a month after the date of their graduation. Across the street, Erma Erwin and Pauline Jackson were just establishing a rival vocational school according to the plan of the famous Boys' Vocational School. conducted by Ivan MCLEOCI- As I walked along the street I met Marie Wager, who had just made a tour of the world as ac- ccmpanist for the famous Shoulder-Shaking Vocal Quartet, directed by Rowlette Youngt I went with her to Redland Field, where I saw the championship Reds, under the leadership of Captain Fishback, playing the final game. Of course, Dorothy Ammemnon was there. unchanged through the years. cheering her uFish as usual! I seon left the ballheld and came to a large theater, where John Harding was appearing in his new play, The Dinhalacker. with scenes by Dutro Blecksom. The attraction for the next week advertised Herbert Fast, the famous villain, now appearing with Helen Sigafobse, in the Latin play which waa discovered in the ruins of Walnut Hills High School. and translated by Anna Schlan. I entered the theater in time to hear the closing solo by Gilbert Ornelas. V As the music ceased the lights died out, Ieaeving me in utter darkness. I was just beginning to wonder if any such glorious achievements awaited me in the years to come when I saw before me in Flaming gold the words, Sursum ad Summum. This acute reminder of Latin brought me to my senses. and at sight of the open book I returned with a sigh to my lesson. Thirty-One
