I found that the energetic bell- hop was Russell Talbott. I remembered the terrific speed he made going through the halls at school.

As I approached I saw a large crowd gathered in front of it. I had sufficient time while trying to get through the crowd to find that they were waiting for the result of the heated debate which was in progress within. With the help of Harold Jordan, a policeman, I finally got. through the crowd and inside the building. I went to the library and was im- mediately accosted by Winifred Mauwaring and Robert Coghill, the outstanding leaders of the opposing factions. I was informed that the June ' 27 class had donated money to paint the club house and that the point of disagree- ment was the color it should be painted. Wini- fred was representing the faction which wanted turquoise blue and Robert that which was in favor of navy blue. I told them that I was going to be neutral and listen to both argu- ments. As I looked over the members I saw Mildred Hines and Mary Harness who had become lawyers and Dorothy Hoffman who is teaching English. I listened to the arguments of Albert Willem, Dorothy Coverdill, and Helen Breedlove who were supporters of the turquoise and to those of Irene Bailey, Martha Hunt and William Britton who were in favor of navy blue. Berthelda Corey, who was sitting next to me, was decidedly in favor of turquoise. As the time passed and the debate became more bitter every minute I decided to make a sug- gestion. To my surprise my suggestion of a compromise was considered and soon pencil blue was agreed upon by both factions. Earl Burger announced the decision in the club studio — M. T. A. A. — to a radio audience. Xolan Hopper owns a Diamond Shop on the Circle. Xolan was always on the square and he has surmounted the difficulties and is quite successful.
