PURPLEAND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Stepping through the magic Looking Glass, I found myself in the Land Where All Things Are Possiblef' There was a large and beautiful building just a short distance away to which people in fantastic costumes were hurrying. As I drew near I heard strains of music of an odd tempo and mysterious harmony. The people were dancing about grotesquely in their strange garb, Looking down, I saw that I, too, was dressed in an elaborate pair of Turkish pajamas, and as I listened to the enchanting music, I felt the urge to dance and soon joined the throng of masqueraders. As the music ceased, the order came to unmask, and I soon discovered, to my surprise and pleasure, that most of the dancers were the friends and classmates of the Class of 1931. Naturally, we all got together and compared notes to find out what each was doing. Dean Balliett, I learned, had just returned from a trip to Alaska with his young bride, where they had spent their honeymoon hunting ferocious polar bears in the Alaskan wilds. Valeria Frederick is an Olympic star, having won first place in the girls' hundred yard dash at the Olympic Games held at Geneva, Switzerland. She is planning a lecture tour of the United States and Canada to show girls in high schools her medals and inspire them to great honors. Jack Horel is one of Uncle Sam's forestry agents. I-Ie proved his worth in protecting the government forests in Idaho, and is now the chief forester at Yellowstone National Park. jim Boehrer, who, as a youth, was designated by Bobby jones as his understudy, is now the golf champion of Little America, the country discovered by Byrd on his Antarctic Expedition. Agnes Senske, I was told, is now connected with the Heinz Company, makers of soups and pickles, where she has developed a new process for making pickled lemon rinds. Stanley McCombs and Arnold Works are big business men, owning a giant lumber company in Maine. I also learned that Lorraine Zank and Elizabeth Smith were employed by them as very competent bookkeepers. Pat Held, now known as the second Sherlock Holmes, told me that he was at the party on the trail of a notorious crook who had stolen an exceedingly valuable diamond ring from the famous aviatrix, Fern Derry. Fern treasured the ring because it had been given her as a prize for being the first woman to attain a three-mile altitude record. Doris I-Iaugh was absent from the party, but her American manager, Sylvia Wegner, informed me that she was touring Europe on her hrst grand opera tour. Doris was accom- panied by Sanford Johnson, who is her foreign manager. Both Doris and Sylvia have achieved I 9 3 I Page Twenty-One
