Julian, whom we remember as having skated since high school days. Bessie Weaver and Lorain Jacobs are among the star performers. Looking around us, we recognize several spectators as our old school mates, among whom are Eva Glidewell, Mary Cahall, Carrie Clayton, and Florence Coman. Our next assignment is to cover the Independent Political Party convention at Philadelphia. Upon arriving at a large hotel, we are very surprised to see that Bob McConnell is the desk clerk, and when we turn around we see Gene Fritch, Allan Carr, and Otto Off are bellhops. After they recognize us, they tell us that their bridal suite is occupied by a couple whom we knew very well, so without further delay we decide to investigate. We are as- tounded to find that it is none other than Jesse Moore and Imogene Wells. After talking over old times awhile, we learn that Dora Williamson has become the secretary of a noted lawyer, Catherine Smith is a vocalist in Bill Robison's famous dance band, Mildred Winterrowd and Boris Chaleif have met in matrimonyg Maxine Burns is proprietor of a large tea room in New York, Mary Bodell and Delphine Leonard both have major parts in a new movie soon to be released by one of the most popular Hollywood studios, and Barbara and Nancy Brown are rapidly .gaining fame as a dance team. Following our sojourn in Philadelphia, we go -to Stockholm, Sweden, where the Olympic Games are being held. We are ushered to our seats by Arlon Park, who tells us that Chet Sterrett, Elden Nicholas, Olive Murphy, and Lulu Westfall are members of the American swimming team, and Marjorie Butterfield, Myra Gillespie, Gerald Parker, and Jack Martin are competing for spring-board honors. During the intermission, we approach the an- nouncer, who was none other than Joe Schrout, who gives us the results of yesterday's contests. He tells us that Grace Mead, Margaret Ross, Tressa Toler, and Ruth Wallace won the women's 440 yard relay swim, Alfred Stoner, Andrew Payne, Richard O'Haver, and Paul Light have gained track honors, and Ed Murphy has cap- tured first-place in the shot-put. As he finishes speaking, we notice an Olympic official walking toward us with an envelope in his hand. He seems rather surprised when we didn't recognize him at first, for he proves to be one of our old classmates, Eugene I-Iittle. The envelope contains a message from Mr. Alfred K. Jones, inviting us to come home and cover his presidential campaign. , It is impossible to secure passage on a boat, so we obtain seats on the Transatlantic Clipper. After disposing of our lpggage, we are introduced to the clipper's crew, all of whom had been members of our senior class, they are Raymond Harp, pilot, James Grayson, co-pilot, Robert Conger, radio operator, and Marjorie Schutte, stewardess. In a few minutes we are in the air and one glance at the passenger list shows us Lorine Humphrey and Melba Wick- ersham are holding seats behind us. During the trip they inform us that they are representatives of a textile firm, and that Betty Lee Thompson and Irene Vargo occupy similar positions. After reminiscing for several hours, we ask the girls where they purchase their lovely clothes. They reply that they buy them from an exclusive New York shop, owned by Mary Wheeler, and that she employs Dorothy Cossell, Shirley Mongan, Charlotte Long, and Vir- ginia Smith as assistant designers. While discussing the dress shop, they add that Frances Minger, Mary Ross, Jayne Sockler and Betty Stephens are clothes models, and that Mary Lanham and Kathleen Edwards handle the business end of the shop. ' The next morning we land in New York and take another plane to Miami, where we are supposed to meet Mr. Jones, our former class sponsor. At the airport we see Kathleen Smoot and Dorothy Mondary, who are see- ing their respective husbands off on a business trip, and they readily volunteer the following information about a few of our former classmates: Betty Mercer is superintendent of an orphanage, Mary Sinclair is operating a boarding houseg and Martha Redmond is an insurance adjuster. At the point in the conversation our plane numbesh is called, and we have to get our luggage collected and get on the plane before it leaves. In a few hours we arrive in Miami, and then go to Mr. Jones's hotel. Instead of being greeted at the door by our host, we are confronted by Jeanette McCreary in a nurse's uniform, who gives us the extraordinary news that Mr. Jones is going to abandon his political ambitions, because of a complete nervous breakdown. As she nn- ishes speaking, she nods towards a young fellow and says that he is Mr. Jones's doctor, and after careful scrutiny we discover he is James Orr. After wishing our former instructor a speedy recovery, we leave the hotel and go down to the beach for a swim. As we are strolling near the water's edge we hear a deafening cry for help and see a brawny life-guard plunge into the surf to rescue the endangered person. When the life-guard returns, we find that he is Robert Lane, and the damsel in distress is Rosemary Robinson. In a few minutes a huge crowd gathers around the pair and among the observers are Florence' Ritter, Earlene Prather, June Hansen, Eugene Hacker, and Bette James. After the excitement subsides we continue our stroll and rounding a curve in the shore-line we come upon Charles Hart sculptoring a likeness of his model, Maxine Robey, in the sand. He is so engrossed in his work that he doesn't see us, so we turn our steps toward a curiosity shop we saw previously when going to the beach. The shop has a sign over the door which reads: The Mac Shop, Madeline McCollum and Pat McKinney, Proprietors. Since the door is open, we walk in and begin to look at the various articles. In a few minutes the girls present themselves, and remark that had we come a few minutes sooner we could have seen Leon Gardner, Anna Lambert, and Bettie Jane Ellis, who had stopped in to buy some souvenirs, and are employed by a real estate company to choose a suitable site for a new hotel. The company they work for is operated by three old maids and one bachelor whom we all know as Marguerite Eadens, Margaret Evans, Eileen Edwards, and Blair Gibbons. Just as we are leaving the shop we stumble and nearly fall out the front door. However, we don't fall to the grounill, aut we fall down through the years and land in the middle of the stage where our graduation exercises are emg e .
