Deciding to leave New York and see how the rest of the world had recovered and re- built after the effects of the last World War, we boarded a plane, and a few minutes. later refueled in Italy, when we flew to the Near East and then to India. We found Genevieve Hageman doing social work in Calcutta. From India we flew to Siam, where lerry Hevey, minister in charge of the Siamese Youth Guild was located. Also nearby, in Indo-China was Polly Harris, and visiting her on a tour of investigation for the U. S. Government was Miriam llgovsky. We took an ocean liner back to the states. Ed Prosser was our captain. On the boat we met Mary McCulloch, who told us of her life in Britain, and of the friends she had met at Buckingham Palace. We arrived on the West Coast and motored to Southern California. At one of the gasoline stations on the Alcan Super-Highway was Bay Fowler, and at one of the towns on the route, we found Iackie Hermann, married to Art Raiche and Editor of Fashion Magazine. We stopped in at a local canteen and found Duck Eldridge ready and waiting to serve us. Curious about where to go next in our travels, we entered a local travel agency and found lean Andrew, wife of the local agent, with her five little boys, quintuplets, who had been born several years ago. The travel folders which pictured the wonders of vacation- iflq in Florida, had CID CIC-lV9I'liSGI'I19I1l for DOWner's Dive, famous seashore resort at Palm Beach, managed by Edwin Downer. This resort featured surfboard riding and diving ex- hibitions by the world renown aquatic artist Dorothy Krawiec. Coming east, we arrived in Washington, D.C., and visited the Senate Gallery. We looked down on Senator Al Cavicchioli who had the floor at the moment. lim Harrington, press representative looking' for a scoop, was our guide in the Congressional Chambers. Across from the Capitol, we met Helen Kyriakos, who had just been made Librarian of Congress. We had lunch in Washington with Marge Costello, head of the Personnel Office for the War Department in the Capitol. From Washington, we headed north again, and decided finally to see what changes and developments had been made back at A.l.C. We found the campus had been enlarged with a new chapel and a large gymnasium erected, the plans of which had been drawn by the prominent architect, Helen Shuman. Leaders in the campaign to raise funds were our own faculty members, Dr. Muriel Kerr, and Dr. Ruth Stebbins. Working with these two professors was Ethelyn Cohen, newly-elected president of the American International College Alumni Association, and Peg Kiely, housemother of the new girls' dorm, McGown Hall. It was chapel time on campus and bells were ringing, so we decided to rush over to the O.K. Annex for our daily cup of hot coffee when suddenly we felt a sharp buzz in our ears and the campus began to fade out beforetour eyes. We looked up and found the dial on our precious time machine slipping backward rapidly and uncontrolably while Prof. Iacobson tore the last few hairs from his topknot and bit off the stem of his latest Meer- chaum pipe. An EXTRA edition of the American International College YELLOW IACKET has just appeared, stating that the control of Professor Iacobson's new Time Machine and the secret of its operation is to be given to the Security Commission of the United Nations Organization, because it is too radical for use at present and far too dangerous to be left in the hands of unreliable maniacs or TAPER staff writers. 125
