This looks like a hospital. Charlotte Bennett. She did become a surgeon after all. Look at all the nurses—Margaret Cullen, Reva Morley, Hazel Carpenter, Marian Haynes, “Jo” Tremain, and Vera Harding. Our class sure turned out a hunch of nurses. Something new and entirely different, a theatre. Ann Campbell singing a lead! or is she calling someone? There’s Bob Russell standing on a box in full view of the audience waving his arms, Oh! I see, he's conducting the orchestra. I wonder who those two young ladies are sitting in that box. They are Pauline YanSchaick and Gladys Rogers. They each have small pads and seem to be writing. Who is that man coming in there? Harlan Rowe again? The girls have just handed him their papers. 1 understand; they evidently are critics. “Greenwich Village. This is some studio. There are Elva Grant and Ona Mills painting and talking to Mary Struble. They are congratulating Mary on her success in selling so many of her poems. The scene changes to some other building. It is a radio broadcasting station just being dedicated. Look on that stage, Frank and I both gasp for there are ourselves. Wonder who we are. We both have to make speeches, by the expressions on our faces. Here's a program, Station ATHENS,” financed by Martha Lenox. There she is over there. Look at those clothes! She must have become a banker after all. “Civil Engineer Tom Spear.” So that’s the reason I’ve got to be up on the stage. Electrical Engineer Glenn Wilcox, I wonder where he is, oh! 1 remember. he’s probably late. Metallurgist Millard Northrup—he has just arrived. W hat does it say about him? Why, this is the first all-metal building ever erected in the world. Radio Expert Frank Schrier—There you are, Frank ; your career is a success and you are up there making a speech. Builder Kerniit Giess. He must have inherited his father's foundry. Can’t look at ourselves any longer, Frank, because something else is appearing on the scene. Well, would you look at all the cows! See that sign over the gate—“Maurice Decker, Dairy Expert.” What’s that, jumping over there? Can’t be cows. It's a lot of dancers. There’s Maurice talking to Esther Winters. Who’s she calling? What is all this anyway? What’s that sign? Oh! “Esther Winters. Aesthetic Dancing and Gymnastics,” of course, might have known it. Over in that other big field are a lot of horses; they must belong to Maurice, too. Someone is riding one; it's Virginia Terry. Great Scott! Do you see that sign—“Terry’s Thorobred Horses.” I wonder what happened ; there are no more pictures. The machine is probably busted: well. Frank, I gotta be going, so long. —Tom Spear ’28.

’Twas the night before April Fool’s day that 1 answered an urgent telephone summons from Frank Schrier. I made my way as rapidly as possible to his house. Frank, as most of you know, had just completed a perpetual motion machine, and being elated over his success started to work on a “fourth dimension machine.” As soon as 1 entered he took me to a room and showed me what looked like a mirror in a phonograph. He began explaining what it was and told me that he was going to try it out for the first time and wanted me there. W’e both sat down in front of the machine, looking directly into the mirror. Frank opened the cabinet and turned the dials. He put the main one on number 1938 and a smaller one on New York. After he had finished manipulating the various devices on the front, he reached down and pulled a switch at the bottom of the machine. At once we see a marvelous scene, not unlike the ones of future cities that had been drawn by our artists. As the lens becomes focused we see Wall Street and within an office there is plainly visible, j. Tracy Converse. He appears to be dictating to Alice Hughes. She must be his private secretary. On one of the doors a short distance away there is a sign, “Charles E. Mills, Jr., Criminal Lawyer.” Let’s take a look in here. Well, would you look at that! Playing pinochle with him is Donald Francke. You could tell it was he by the way he yawns. By the documents lying around it seems that “Don” is trying to patent a medicine. Oh! I see. There’s a sign on that building over there that reads: Donald Francke, Pharmacist.” What’s this building? Part of New York University? I wonder if anyone is here that we know. Do you recognize that person giving the lecture? That’s Catherine Ramey! Look how she’s scowling; just like a teacher. She’s lecturing on proper foods. Must be a dietitian. Another room ! Carol Rogers teaching Dramatics’ who is this but Marian DuBert teaching English? still another, and Can’t be anyone else here because the mirror now shows, “New York Press!” bet I know who is here. Sure enough, there’s Harlan Rowe at the desk of the editor-in-chief. There comes Robert Hoag. I wonder if he is an office boy. No, he is foreman of the printing department. That must be a copy of the “Press” that he has there. Do you see what the headlines say?” “Zip” Lynch and Owen Gerould Shatter Records in Big Meet. I always thought they would break something.
