JUNIORS THE FIFTEENTH REUNION OF THE CLASS OF 1940 The Class of 1940 is celebrating its 15th class reunion. Fifteen years-it seems but yesterdayl just see, some of the girls are already sprouting gray hairs Cpoor dearsj. Well, who's this coming towards us? Why it's Betty Pigott, and she certainly looks as though acting as fraternity mother at Meadville has agreed with her. And therefs Mrs. J. T., the former Virginia Bruce appearing remarkably young despite those six children. And Patsy McCrady and Ruthanna Weidlein QMrs. R. KJ are still discussing the affair of the ffhard-boiled egg which took place in the spring of 1938. Barbara Smith, hailed as the modern Garbo, strides dramatically in with Ruth Janney, who is explaining why actresses should eat apples instead of pears. Elizabeth Richey and Ann Bockius Qknown as 'fthe gay divorcees of 1950,'J are seen chatting with Mrs. H. K. W. CNatalie Mercerj and Mrs. P. R. CPatty Harel, and Elizabeth Hooker C., known as the Perfect Mother, is explaining to Jane Chess, the successor of Shirley Temple, why babies should eat strained carrots instead of raw ones. Betty Brown is arguing with Mary Jane Shuman fthe Sweet- heart of Sigma Chil that Cicero put an ac and not an atque in his third Catilinarian oration, chapter two, line six. jennifer Barbour, who has taken the place of Einstein, enters with her chief advisor and assistant, Marion Urling, and they question Ann Joyce Cowan and Betty Kohman for rather Mrs. H. D., who has just returned from her honey- moonj as to a certain extremely difficult quadratic equation. Mrs. D., and Ann, however, cannot remember ever having heard of such things and they let the matter drop as Carmie Jane Coleman Qwho has surpassed Sonja Henie inevery Way, glides over with a bowl of potato chips fthe class of ,40's favorite dishl and Frances Alford comes forward with a teapot in hand. She's forgotten any cups but a poor memory in genius can be overlooked and Frances' poems have already taken their place among the classics. Elaine McFarlane, this country's first woman president, dashes in for only a moment as she is on her way to deliver a radio message to America's people, and Joan Brill, her secretary, is very much worried for fear she will be late .... And last of all we see Barbara Flinn who won the 1948 Olympic trophy for waltz- ing and has since turned professional, trying in vain to make Mary Chandler Coften called the four Marx Brothers rolled into one J understand that 2 and 2 equal 4 and not 223 but she should know by this time that Mary is hopeless and will never comprehend, but will go on through life writing abominable reviews such as this.
