In my flight I came to the walls of a little village outside of which three men were arguing, Hpon inquiry I discovered that this town, peacefully named L'topia. was inhabited exclusively by the Class of 1930. As a result. Deeds Collins, i icial gate-keeper. refused to admit Evelyn O'Iieefe, Helen tiamble. and Florence Schlitter because they '.-:ere hitched up to the afore-mentioned gentlemen. Hailed as census-taker. I registered first at the city hall where Debsky, the mayor. was holding a com- mittee meeting to revoke the Eighteenth Amendment, In the adjoining office. Charlie Soderstrom, big shot of the 'I'ri-City Iilectric Co.. was laboriously checking and diiuble-checking his incvme tax. while Fred Sill '.-round up the eight-day clock.

But one night he tackled the interlecutor and now he's back in town trying to wake up Sparky , Capece. SparkyI' has retired from ac- tive life to catch up on sleep lost during fire drills. :Xt this point 'I'onnny Van Etten stopped the bus, and I decided to alight. Tommy has apparently stepped into his father's shoes. Not far up Main Street I entered the largest edifice in Utopiaf' the Murphy Building, and to my great surprise encoun- tered George Berman, head proprietor, who confiden- tially whispered that he had changed his name for business reasons. From what I heard, Anna Zacharwitz, Alice Early. and I.illian XYallace are charter members of the Uplift Society under the able supervision of Margaret Deg- nan.
