CLASS PROPIIEUY C I 1 9 0 9 7 LILLIAN STEVENS, '25 From mouth to mouth crept the word. Each time the guard turned his back another one was told. Soon they all knew. The president was to be appealed to for their pardons! Doubtless she would act upon the advice of her cabinet and the men knew that in that body there must be at least one or two who would try to help them. Why this confidence in the lawbreakers' minds as to the aid of these chief lawmakers? Because-'twas the girls of the Class of '25 who were i11 the Cabinet and the boys of the class who were in Sing Sing. Mary Austin was the first. woman president. With her tact and serious mind she had quickly worked herself into the hearts and minds of her coun- trymen, and their confidence in this, the youngest president ever elected, as well as the first woman to hold this office,-was unlimited. She had been elected unanimously and was called the Mother of her Country. With admirable loyalty she had chosen the girls of her old high school class for the members of her Cabinet. Their course i11 the Problems of American Democracy had fitted them admirably for their positions and they had all entered into this field to earnestly try to improve our country and perhaps the world. Lillian Stevens' interest in foreign affairs had led Miss Austin to make her Secretary of State. She and Miss Austin had worked up their ability to argue to a positive genius and they made a team that no one could down. Ethel Goeb's skill with money matters, developed in high school, made her a wonderfully efficient Secretary of the Treasury. Ruth Newton was made Secretary of War and she was thot to be in league with Thor and Mars. The fact that she looked like a splendid daughter of the Vikings heightened this impression. Nevelle Hawkins' interest in and tactfulness with men led her to be made Secretary of Navy. Burta Beers' well-known sense of justice made her a fine Attorney General. Lorene Brown was made Secretary of the Interior because of her love of good food and she handled her varied duties with remarkable ease. Ardis Birnie had always received so much mail that Miss Austin was sure she would be interested in the postal department, so she appointed her Postmaster General. As Esther Judkins had always lived close to the soil and knew the needs of the farmers she was chosen Secretary of Agriculture. Cecily Crane's remarkable affection for bookkeep- ing and commercial affairs had led to her appointment as Secretary of Com- merce. Last, but not least, Dorothy Hardy was made Secretary of Labor, for obvious reasons. Many, many hot discussions followed the plea for pardons. Elwin Farrington was in for kidnapping and cradle-robbing. He said that his love for children of all eges had made him do this but that he'd never do it again, if only they'd make him head of an orphan asylum. Sidney Magill had been arrested for agitating. His soap-box speeches were famous. He said he was willing to confine his speeches to the non-English- speaking people, if they'd let him out of Sing Sing. Raymond Eisenbise had invented a. beautifying cream, with 407 nitric acid in it, to peel off the dead skin, leaving the lovely new skin beneath. The only trouble with it was that it peeled the lovely new skin off, too, and the women of the nation rose to arms. He promised to confine his beauty schemes to himself, thereafter. Maurice Oliva 's experiments in chemicals blew up half of New York, but no one said anything till he poisoned his brother with a new concoction. He had to make several sets of promises before the Cabinet would even consider his case. Oliver Breese was up for blocking traffic with his mules, but he insisted that the mules ought to be in prison instead of himself. He didn't do it. Curtis liocke's vanity kept him continually swiping ornaments for himself and he was up for grand larceny. Ile promised to buy his adorn- ments thereafter. Albert May became a society t'Ratfles and was so fascinating that no one suspected him for a l011g time. Eve1'ett Fenny had invented a new religion called the Giglashades. The members giggled
