BOSS “Alice Shepherd did find a man and despite all she said she would like to do, made an excellent wife. “Elizabeth Smith whistled her way to success as a bird fancier. “Vivian Smith became a Salvation Army lassie and consequently a famous doughnut maker. “Lillian Staffhorst pitched for the Braves. “Violet Stewart illustrated the comics for the Boston American. “Velma Sweet—sweet Velma engineered and directed the building of a portion of the tubes from our Atlantic Coast to France. “Irma Tatton planned to be a teacher, but became an interior decorator instead. “Mildred Tewksbury was employed as the hair-dressing expert at the Court of the new English President. “Alice Thompson was sent to the Legislature and did her best to pass new laws against dancing, hugging and kissing, but it did no good—these evils could not be abolished. “Eleanor Vatter discovered a country where even the old-fashioned tele- phone had not been heard of. “Cora Vose did a flourishing business, renting men out to girl students in Boston for such affairs as proms, hikes, etc. She did know some nice ones. “Alice Whitmore sailed all the seven seas as ‘Commodoress’ of the latest undersea vessel. “Naomi White became a manufacturer of pencil sharpeners. “Marion Woodlock, famed economist, launched the ‘no-Tax’ plan, which solved all financial difficulties of the age. “Marion Webb was an Egyptian archeologist. She was probably attracted to Egypt by its beautiful moonlights.”’ At this moment, St. Peter turned suddenly about, looked at me directly, and announced in a thunderous voice: ‘‘Class of 1924, enter Ye for Judgment!” A hush fell on the gray-headed women, and their merriment ceased. Fearful, yet happy at their ultimate reunion, the Gates of Heaven opened to admit them forever. And that was the last St. Peter ever saw of them.
