noticed a familiar figure in the school yard painstakingly giving exercises to unwilling pupils. Giving vent to my curiosity, I entered the school yard and saw Mary Helen Perkinson. (Maybe she will go to Columbia Univer- sity some day.) After chatting a while, she told me she had a surprise in store and thereby led me into the principal’s office. Seated behind a huge desk was Alvin Hungerford. Well, I’ll say that was a surprise! Alvin informed me that Mabel Terrell and Peggy Hagen were also mem- bers of his faculty. He advised me to stop by the Girl’s Junior College where Julia and Janie Snead were deeply engrossed in drilling French into the heads of poor, misguided, innocent pupils. Bidding Alvin farewell, I strolled into the business district of town. Father Time urged me into a large bank where I was confronted by a type- writer, behind which labored Dorothy Walker. She led me into the office of the president; there I perceived W. J. Moore, dictating a letter to his personal secretary, Betty Roberts. Shortly afterwards, I departed for the movies where Virginia Barden and Thomas Snellings were co-stars in a new musical hit produced by War- ren Cunningham. After thoroughly enjoying the picture, I was brought the “News of the Day” by John Guill Flash! Admiral E. 8. H. Greene leaves on a good will tour of the Americas. Next I was faced by Thomas Bury and Alice Salmon, missionaries who had just returned from South Africa. Robert Powell and his assistant, Margaret Clark, then appeared on the screen, smiling proudly because they had found a device for curing “‘swell-headedness.” A stage show was next on the program. The master of ceremonies was none other than Junior Harper, and in his girl’s quartet I heard the voices of Joyce Floyd, Margaret Perrin, Christine Barden, and Rosie Lee Burnham. Upon leaving the movies, I was confronted by Dorothy Pettway and her group of Girl Scouts. In a garage farther down the street, I dis- covered Gus Stein working industriously on a limousine while Jean Bowery, the successful owner, stood by helplessly. After we had chatted a while, Jean suggested that we go down to the department store while her car was being repaired. Putting action into her words, we paused in front of the store to view the displays. Lo and behold !—Percy Curtis—a window decorator! We next ran the risk of the revolving doors successfully and found ourselves in the midst of a mad scramble. Three clerks, Virginia Eyler, Nellie Gemundt, and Gaynelle Parham, were trying to satisfy, without success as yet, Teresa Pleasants with a new hat. We thought the hats of ’41 were terrible—but these??? For some strange reason, I began to be very thirsty. I found a water fountain and bent over to quench my thirst—at that instant, I became aware of the fact that water was pouring all over my face! I sat up and looked around. Why, I wasn’t in a department store after all! Here I was under the same tree where I had sat down to rest, and the rain was pouring! So it was alla dream! With these thoughts in my mind, I wearily trudged down the path in the rain—homeward bound. MARY SUE PALMER GORDON MILES

why, no wonder! It was Gilbert Martin! While I was walking down- stairs, Ernest told me that another of my schoolmates was his dietician. She was none other than Alma Traylor. Glancing at the clock, I found it necessary to hasten my departure; so I proceeded down the street with Father Time. Catching a bus driven by Vernon Neblett at the street corner, I went downtown and proceeded to engage a room at a modern hotel. I was wel- comed by the hotel hostess, who turned out to be Beatrice Vaughan. Imagine my surprise to find Lynwood Tiller as desk clerk! After greeting me, he enlightened me to the fact that the hotel manager was Henry Spiers. When I decided to eat dinner, my waitress turned out to be Katherine Cousins. In answer to my inquiry, she informed me that the hotel had recently been re-decorated by Cornelia Lowe and Mary Fisher—lInterior Decorators, Inc., from New York City. After a restful night on mattresses from the W. J. Underwood Mattress Company and a delightful breakfast cooked by Chef Thomas Wilmoth, I settled down in an easy chair to read the daily paper edited by Louise Garton. Of course, I turned first to the funnies, and there I found Spike McFoodle drawn by George Jinkins—Jinx and his brain-child seem to be doing very well! Upon reading further, I found an advertisement for a famous concert at which Anlouise Brand would play. In small print under the advertise- ment, I discovered that Billy Pickhardt’s successful theatrical agency was sponsoring this concert. The fashion page edited by none other than Lily Hancock—why, she was the best dressed in our class! Turning next to the sports page, which I found to be edited by Levi Johnson, I noticed a picture of Hillebrand Jones who will again play pro- fessional football this fall. In the meantime, Coach Edward Isbell is seeing that his star player doesn’t break training. “ROSE MARTIN TO BE NEW COACH AT WILLIAM AND MARY” —was the next headline that greeted my eyes. She succeeds Jane Goyne, who has taken up the holy bonds of matrimony. I also noticed a baseball score—Philadelphia Athletics, 14; Washing- ton Senators, 10. Much to my surprise I discovered that Luther Chandler was coaching the “Phillies” and was supported by his players, Louis Farmer and Lee Johnson. Suddenly the radio blared forth and I heard a melodious voice, which I recognized as John Kellam’s, announcing: ‘‘Duane Curtis and Her Sum- mary of the News” from South America sponsored by the Ethel Birdsong Cold Cream Company. Deciding to get some fresh air, I walked slowly down the shady side of Main Street. In dropping by the library, I spied Louise Beckner behind the desk. After talking with her a while, I started looking over the books. I was very pleased to find a novel written by Carolyn Putney. Her ambi- tions have at last been realized. Glancing through the book, I found it to be illustrated by Mary Thornton. Louise called my attention to an auto- biography—“US”—by two veterans of the old days in the R. A. F., Frank Curtis and Philbert Neatrour. Father Time, who had been lurking in the background, beckoned me on once more. Passing by the school several blocks down the street, I ae thirty-one “Whe Reflec tor
