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.
