F L - I I I I II I CII I I ADREAM The following is uselection from a diary of one of the 9A's, twenty years hence. You may be as interested as we were. Dear Diary, A Apr. 1. 1953 I, Helen Moskos, just returning from a visit to Greece, and still marveling at the beautiful works of art in the capitol of that country which contributed so much to civilization, determined to visit the capitol of this great country of ours. Traveling alone as I was, I de- cided to spend my sleeping hours at the Y.W.C.A. Imagine my sur- prise when the tall stately secretary smiled her recognition as she greeted me. It was our old mate Pauline Pascher. Except for the fact that her hair was waved instead of straight, she looked just as she did when we knew her so long ago. Little did I dream that our capital city was attracting so many of our former Eastern Junior High classmates. I visited the Con- gressional Library and found Dorothy Mortenson poring over books just as she did in the Pontiac City Library: and in another room I discovered Mary Gerzanics, who was doing research work in her usual painstaking manner. She has several degrees attached to her name now. Remember how we used to envy her the A's?

As I walked down Pennsylvania Avenuel was attracted by a huge-electric sign in front of the play house- - The irresistable Evelyn Eastman in Brunetts Come into Their Own .And on a sign board in front I read, Coming AttractionsLouise Hayman, the great- est emotional actress of the modern stagef, A little farther down the Avenue I saw a theater, and feeling a bit weary, decided to attend in order to rest. The picture was rather mediocre, but the vaudeville repaid me amply for the time and money I spent. Our old friend Mary Plake was directing the jazz band and proving herself the comedian we prophesied she would he, she an- nounced a pair of tap dancers as Mademoiselle Grande and l60'l'l-t'i7L1l.6d on page 255 ' I ' I I I I I I I I I 14 X el
