I heard the boat's whistle faintly, then louder and louder, and I finally came to consciousness of the present again, but my store of knowledge was greatly increased by the amazing facts that I had just learned. Some day I shall have to take another voyage. MARGARET FARLEY and PEG GERE.

ence school for all girls who desire to learn the secret of her success. Com- plete satisfaction is guaranteed within three weeks by conscientious practicing. Here certainly is the opportunity of a lifetime, girls. The most amazing sight of all. almost, was to see Rosalie Dann, of all people, selling cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum and what not in the Seneca Hotel, which is now owned, along with a string of taxicabs which race around the town at breakneck speed, by Charles Durnin. But to get back to Rosalie, she certainly is handing the local sheiks a mean line” and drawing in a load of trade. Leta Caswell and Marion Sadelmycr are teaching in good old B. H. S. They couldn’t see how it could get along without them, so they decided to give the faculty and students a break and come back. There surely is reward for those who persevere. Before I could draw a long breath, the waves shifted, bringing with them a vivid picture of none other than Paul Allen. He was washing ELEPHANTS in Ringling’s Circus. But then, Paul always did want to do something BIG!!! Marie Lawrence has chosen as her profession that of a demonstrator in a Rexall Store in Liverpool owned by none other than Elmer Clark. She is demonstrating how to grow, keep and take care of extra long hair, bne should be quite adept. I perceived mistily through the spray of the waves a rather large group of peopic gathered around two persons who seemed to be expounding some dif- ficult theories. You could never guess who it was, so I’ll tell you. Candy Doran and Doc Cenci, attempting to teach Hester Larkin, Catherine Muldoon and Marion Kelly how to play tennis. Here’s success to them! Clanging loudly over the roar of the sea, I heard the tin-panny sound of the calliope and there was a circus troupe. The ringmaster appeared to be our famous Chuck DcLyne. Among his company were Helen Gertrude Per- kins, as the dainty bareback rider, who startled the many audiences with her daring stunts. Lorin Mathewson, too, was there. He trained lions and tigers especially well, probably because of the very smooth line of hypnotic chatter the lad possessed in high school. Outside of the main tent I heard an im- mensely loud bally-hooing going on. Turning my attention to this, I found that Rich Decker was telling the interested public about Queen Zaza (Edith Albro), the snake-charmer; Eddie (Eddie Nesbit). the tattooed man, and Madame Henrietta, psychic of great renown, whom 1 recognized, nevertheless, as Henrietta Thompson. Esther Loveless is at present advertising Lux Toilet Soap at Connell’s, and there, too, I saw Helen Louise Dempsey, now traveling for the Woman’s Home Institute as their official dressmaker. Must be she gained her ski.l in the Domestic Science class at B. H. S. As yet I hadn’t seen anything of Laura Orvis, George Fowler, Velma Crook or Winston Baker, but now the waves brought them to me in the fol- 1 owing careers respectively: Laura is composing love letters for the Penny Arcade at Long Branch; George is in big business in a big way; Velma is doubling for Greta Garbo; and Winston is teaching Intermediate Algebra in Warners. Red Blanding and Dick Price, with Alice Henderson as assistant, arc ex- perimenting on some sickly looking concoction that is guaranteed to tone ™'i!' ! u air 9 lose unfortunates blessed with carrot tops. 5ud Mercer is, as I saw, running a ferry boat on Dead Creek and it seemt o me that he was still trying to find out why all the motors he had would» I have all the parts running right at the same time. course I couldn’t miss Elizabeth Barnett, who graduated from Syracuse c niversity and is now teaching infant psychology in Ossining. . .l Cronin and Grace McGann, having discovered how really clevei tneir literary talents were after writing their part of the Lyre, decided to g«vc witlf alfthe local “d t » ats w iat an( are editing a very select weekly papei pxntfJL Ut ,.lot.

THE CLASS OF ’31 Here in dear old B’ville there’s a group of boys and girls Happy as the day is long, Brimming o’er with spirit tried and true, Gifted with the gift of song; Surely they were dropped from out the skies above, Boys and girls, just full of fun, Never was a class so rare and blest As our Class of '31. Now the closing days are coming When our paths of life must part, When no more we’ll be together, Speaking heart to heart; But we 11 have the precious mem’ries, Memories of the friends we’ve won, Friends that are dear though far away, Our class of '31. School is not to them a bitter drudge in life, Lessons are for them no dread, Onward, ever onward, staunch and brave, Seeing better things ahead. Fortune, so they think, comes only to few And not to everyone, But they re all content for they belong To the Class of ’31. K. 24
