,mg I v 1 u AN EXCITING PARTY The party given by Mr. Strafford Halstead to the other members of the graduated class of 1931 for the purpose of celebrating his latest million dollar clean up on NYall Street was a great success. Every member of that remarkable class was present though for a time Mr. Halstead feared that three would be absent, namely, Mr. VVillard Barthel, that snappy young E-Z Orchestra leaderg Miss Bessie Leatherman, the radio song bird, and Miss Marguerite Martin, whose remarkable piano playing is to be heard through station B-U-Z-Z. This difficulty was soon overcome when Mr. Delbert Stouder, the radio wizard, installed on a minute's notice a short wave length broadcasting outfit. By means of this, Mr. Barthel was able to lead his orchestra for the usual half hour of entertainment by television. lt also en- abled Miss Leatherman and Miss Martin to broadcast while attending the party. The party went along very nicely until Miss Doris Corson, the queen of American dancers, dropped her handkerchief while doing the latest thing in dance steps, the Dizzy Zola. Of course there was an immediate and mad scramble on the part of the young gentlemen of the party to have the privi- lege of returning the lost. The results were as follows: Mr. George Haas, the daring navy aviator, received one broken nose from Mr. Miller, the hand spring artist, who kicked him in the face while trying to do a flip to escape the grand rush. Mr. Miller received a black eye. Mr. Preston Scamehorn, the rising young civil engineer, knocked three teeth loose when he tripped over someone's toe and tried to bite a piece out of the Hoor. Miss Elsie Miller, the well known actress, escaped injury by fortunately landing in an arm chair when she was shoved with terrific force out of the way of one of the charging young men. Miss Elsie Stewart, the lady lawyer of New York. wished to bring charges against the young men for reckless conduct in behalf of Miss Miller, but Miss Miller decided to let it drop as a hopeless ease when the young gentlemen all claimed that they were for the moment insane and therefore not accountable. Mr. Paul Dausman, the electrical engineer, was the one that got the handkerchief, but he also got a sliver in the palm of his hand which caused Page twenty-six

l I l I him a great deal of paing however, he was soon relieved when Mr. joseph Mauck, the light-weight boxer, kindly knocked him unconscious. Of course Miss Corson was very grateful for getting her handkerchief back and insisted that Dr. james Meiser do something for Mr. Dausman. Dr. Meiser did not have his implements of war with him, but through the prestige of Miss Pearl Frank, who is a large stock holder in the Chicago Rapid Transit Company, the required things were sent by Rocket express on receipt of Miss Frank's radiogram and were received within less than ten minutes after the accident. XVith the trained-nurse assistance of Miss Dor- othea Fcamehorn, Dr. Meiser soon had the sliver removed and Mr. Daus- man's hand neatly bandaged. Though Miss Dorothy Johnson and Miss Vera VVhite, who are also trained nurses, were present, Miss Scamehorn was the only one who would assist Dr. Meiser. Miss VVhite was on her yearly vacation and flatly refus- ed to help, while Miss Johnson would have nothing to do with it because Mr. Dausman in his frantic effort to get the handkerchief had stepped on her toe. After the operation Mr. Dausman was placed in a dark room as sug- gested by Miss Grace Mosier, the color scheme expert, who said that this would be more soothing to shocked nerves. Dr. Meiser next jerked Mr. Haas's nose back into place again. After giving Mr. Dausman about three minutes for his nerves to become quieted, the party went happily on until it broke up a short time after the milkman had made his round. Everyone, including Mr. Dausman, remarked about the enjoyable and exciting time they had had. -Clinton Lowell SENIOR CLASS WILL fContinued from page 253 Elsie Stewart wills her ability to argue to Lucille Fisher.
