As she uttered these words I was turning the leaves of a green Memory Book sadly worn by habitual use Our eyes wandered on to a white ticket pasted in the corner of a torn page which read The Princess presented by the 4A Class December 12 23 What a beautiful princess Esther Thomas made' remarked Stell after a moment of recollection Yes and can you ever forget what a prince charming Bolan was? I added laughingly Your brother Florian certainly was a fine actress Ste claimed Pondering for a moment over scrap of wax paper on the same page I suddenly caught its significance Do you remember what delicious candy Janet used to make for our dances? And how that candy soldl added Stell No wonder that our dances were so successful fman cially Can you ever forget the Four Friends Orchestra? I wonder what orchestra Robert Asdikian plays in now? Evadmg the query I regarded two baseball tickets of Z3 and 24 on the opposite page It certainly used to get monotonous watching 'Vinne' Cummings strike home runs. Stell' glanced from the baseball ticket to a receipt reading-' Received payment from Ida Buonanno for class dues. We both agreed that Ida was a treasurer of unusual executive ability Turning the page Stell laughed heartily as she observed a wrapper f Wrigleys Spearmmt Chewing Gum Surely you must have put that there she asserted for a reminder of our old classmates Eva and Louise An envelope with Providence Opera House printed on lt and 4A Theatre Party January 19 1924 in my own hand writing next at tracted our attention I don t believe I can ever forget that last ensemble of our class said I At the time we thought we were selfish spending so much for our was proportionately little compared to the sum we liberally disbursed for our gift to the school library A picture of Cranston High School as it use to be I declared beholding Cranston Without the newly built addition I-Iow they must be benefiting by the new library gymnasium lunch room and auditorium' Ste ex claimed which seemed but a golden dream to us DORIS BURBANK February 24 .- - .- ..- - .- : 1 - 1 I I 1 - - : 11 - - - 1 - - 1 - - - , . : ' ll If I ' 1 : . 1 I A - : H - 1 - : - ' u ' O : ' ' ' n E YY Y li .

I wouldn t be surprised if she were a great artist or actress I-low odd' grated another voice I belong to another actress Ger trude Potter She was wonderful as the stately lady in the plays Of course We remember her agreed another hook in a voice that was very peculiar It seemed to be try1ng to choke down a giggle. There it goes said some one indulgently. You know, my dears. a young lady used to hang her coat on it. The young lady was gifted-- or afllicted-with a very acute sense of humor-very acute, indeed. The hook caught it-that's why it talks that way. Dorothy Clark, giggled he hook, she laughed and the world laughed with her. I belonged to someone else like that--Tommy Wade, grated an- other voice nearer the stairway. You just wait till you hear who hung his coat on mel James Allen- son, President of the Senior Class and Manager of the Hockey Team! said another voice loudly, 5. gr g 1 1-4 .,.. - My my' Well you just listen to me I was used by Miss Kathryn forward she was' Got your dues? shouted another hook Who do I belong to? Albert Johnson' shouted the others Yes that was his mama He was perfectly normal otherwise But he made a good class treasurer Talking about good oflicers' What about Helen Droitcour as class secretary and secretary of the G A A ? And she was smart in every thing else besides spluttered another hook Well I guess Arlme Dyer was as sma1t as anyone anybody could men tion She was good at basketball too And remember the dance she managed? And her Latin transla t1ons were perfect dreams so the girls sald the hook Hnished with an ecstatic sigh. All the voices started to clatter at once, shouting their favorites: What about Lillian Blanding's English? And Cummings baseball? And Dot Drowne's mathe- matics? And Al Taylor's athletics? Irving Bates' singing? I was so startled that I got up too hurriedly and fell downstairs with a terrible crash. I opened my eyes. My mother was looking at me. Goodness, did you hear that awful thunder clap? Your window was wide open during all this storm. MARGARET RYDBERG, '24. Sllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllml 'IlllllIlll'llllllll?lllllfm? 2,
