SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY a famous university professor. She told us that Winnie Clover is decorating the senior hall dormitory of her Alma Mater, Fassifern. The next place on our list was the theatre Where Claire Cox was playing in Boarding School Life. Her costumes were designed by Tootie Lael, and the play was directed by Elsie Lee. Our last visit was to a duplex apartment Where We found Norah Ellen' Rucker and Lucy Anne Tate. Lucy Anne does all the gardening, and Norah Ellen does all the cooking. Nothing like cooperation, eh? By this time we were quite hungry, so Pat and I parked the puddle-jumper, and went to lunch. Over the hamburgers, which we had ordered in memory of those Tea House days at Fassiferp, we entertained each other with our best stories. I told about my experiences as a newspaper woman, and I gained some good stories from Pat's tales of her adventures as a census taker. We finally parted with the agreement to meet sometime Within the next ten years. JANET SIMPSON. Page Twenty-four

SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY While I was making my way down the street of a prosperous city of 1950, I ran smack into a noisy census taker, who turned out to be old gossip-monger Warner. She told me to jump into her sixteen-cylinder puddle-jumper, and to accompany her on her blood- hound assignment. While on the way to the municipal hospital, she confided in me that she had taken time out between trips to Holly- wood to offer her services to the government. On arriving at the door of the hospital, we were met by the charming receptionist, Bettye Perkins. Just as we were getting around to the questions which interest the government, Sissy Smith came rushing in to find out what could be the matter with a patient whose blood pressure went up every time she winked at him. We next went to the dietetics department. There we found Marjorie Moore, the dietitian, bossing nurses and cooks around in a very professional way. She informed us, however, that she was leaving next month to marry a professor in an orphanage. Well, the poor children will be well fed, anyway. Just as we were starting out of the door we met Dr. McFadyen. She had recently arrived from China, but she told us that she intended to stay in the U.S.A. for a good while. Our next visit was to a charming little house on the outskirts of town. We discovered that the lady of the house was Betty Bryan- we don't have to tell you the last name. While we were there, the postman brought a letter from Nancy Lowry. Nancy is singing opera at the Metropolitan at the present. She wrote that she was taking a tour this winter with Estelle Borjes as her accompanist. Next we went to an exclusive beauty salon, owned and operated by Dot Copeland. Under the drier we found Antoinette Robinson, Page Twentydhree
