He had just put a bill before, the Senate for the re-establishment of A .in t l l slavery in the cotton belt so that he may be able to loaf more successfully. 1 gh ' Northward lies New York City, swarming with human beings as an ant hill swarms with ants. In one of the skyfscrapers is the office of Mildred Breece and Annie Bowles, income tax experts who are at present figuring out a knotty problem for Owen McColl Plutocratic Bootlegger. ' 5' In Aeolian Hall tonight a concert is being given by Ethel and Grace Clayton, Pianists, ' I Eleanor Lilly and Harold Hedgpeth, Singers, and Katherine Monaghan, whose violin has brought If li her to fame. In electric lights on Broadway are the names of Fay Brown and Emerson Humph' , v rey, stars in a revival of the old comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The scenery for this was ' designed by Elizabeth DeVane who is a rising young paintfslinger in Greenwich Village. On , - the opening night of the show seats in the bald headed row were occupied by Dr. and Mrs. X George jenkins-fthe doctor thought no home was complete without a Hall j-Mary Mc- I , Andrew, owner of the Baby Ruth Company, Kitty Williamson, first woman to edit a New , Q 5 York newspaper, and Wick Smith whose book of poems called Tin-Can Abbey, has made g E 35 him much sought after fby the censorsj. Y P In a spacious office on Wall Street sits Elizabeth Underwood, private secretary to a big SIX bicycle man from Wheeling. On his efficient staff are, among others, Zahdie Zahran, Annie S 3 Q, Bullock and Louise Strickland. ' l On Long Island, at the Weisiger Film Company lots, Glenn Newberry is busy direct- S 5 lf g ing Bill McQueen and Helen Kelly in a' decidedly strenuous scene from The Carolinianf' The Q l I lighting arrangements were made by Walter Webb, the electrical wizard, and the costmues de- S 33 I signed by Aileen Williams. R , Mitchell Lightfoot is professor of advanced zoology at Columbia University, and today is le ' J cturing to some special pupils, Pauline Felton, Zula Hough, and Louise McKethan. These three .f X young ladies are planning a trip to The Lost World in the near future, to bring home zoo' A 5 . logical specimens. Inez Dupree is the only woman ever to have a chair at Columbia and she Si A ' has annexed the degrees A. B., C. O. D., and P. D. Q., to her name. Q Irene Sheehan, author of My Puppy-a Short Tale, is seated in her apartment reading a E letter from Josephine Hodge, who is now in Hawaii, the land of shredded wheat skirts, look' rf., ' f- h ing for material for a book on cereals which she is compiling. The phone rings. It is Carrie l 5' Lee Lewis, famous woman orator, to tell Irene that the New York Giants have won the World ,S Series. The most exciting thing about it is that Bob Davis and Euland Canady were the most S 5 ' spectacular players. E .5 At a famous night club, of which Martha Clark is hostess, the sprightly entertainers Joe E E V Pemberton, and his dancing partner, Annie Mcllwinnen, are exhibiting folk dances popular many If , years ago. Their Charleston, Black Bottom, and Sansou, are the rage in the metropolis. H f Lo! The scene changes, and Fayetteville, N. C., appears. It is a great day, for Crawford Q McKethan is taking office as Mayor of Fayetteville. He is beautifully garbed in a pair of v l -j' muddy crimson overalls, to show his friends the dirt farmers that he is in sympathy with them. 4' f ' Seated behind the Mayor are his loyal supporters, Professor Iohn McLeod, author of a text book 5' on Beard-raising by an Amateur, and james Joyner. The latter is now Justice of Peace and 2 lives up to his surname for he has joined an average of 30 couples a week since taking , 1' Page Twenty-Five FX ' ' . .

Parnassus over which my plane flew, and in the foreground Q ' if? rises the massive Temple of Delphi, my long-sought destination. Thru the years since that ', June day in 1927 when the Seniors of the Fayetteville High School received their diplomas, I pi V have wandered the world over, and my thoughts have often gone back to the boys and girls tl' H 3 who so hopefully left their High-School days behind them in '27. What has LIFE held for .3 ' them? That is the question which I shall ask the famous oracle of Apollo. There upon the ill tripod sits the veiled prophetess, Pythia, who delivers the revelations to the priests who trans- 1 f l. late them. I must make a sacrifice to the Oracle, and for that purpose I have buoght a small i volume, reminiscent of my High School days. Its too familiar cover bears the legend New l Plane Geography. As I gaze into the flames which are consuming it, my brain is full of tri- 1 angles, circles, and parallel lines! As the smoke rises heaven-ward, I address the mysterious wo- lf: ' man before me saying: ,N P L' A Oh, noble priestess, through thy great knowledge of the past, the present, the future, con- l 7- A descend to tell me, thy humble servant, how my school-mates of F. H. S. have fared. p She inhales the sacred vapor, and falls into a mystic trance. Strange words fall from those V lips! At last I shall hear my question answered. Hark! She speaks! Q- ' A black mist fades from before my eyes, and I see a beautiful city. It is Washington, the .Q I Capitol of the United States. Here people gather from all parts of the worldg Fayetteville is ., M ' no exception. It has sent its full quota to the District of Columbia. It is Sunday night. In a w' A . . . . . . f AJ' 4. large church a handsome young minister is preaching a dynamic sermon, he is the Reverend C. Z C. Chadbourn, of whose congregation it is considered very fashionable to be a member. Oc- : fl cupying pews near the front are several well known personages. james McNeill, a wealthy cor- V ' poration lawyer is seated next to two fellow Carolinians, Congressman Archie Covington, and his V Q Secretary, Arlie Williams. Directly behind them are the Railroad Magnate, O. I. Mullinnix . and his wife who was Margaret Hobbs of Fayetteville. Tom McAndrew, Professor of Pro- A crastination at Harvard University, is between Charles Robinson, Editor of the Fayetteville Dis- 'TD V turber and Milton Tager, the famous sportsman and fight promoter. The soprano soloist in the choir is Carolyn Huggins, who is teaching voice in the Washington School of Music. Hazel I Porter is instructor in the same institute. Vg A On Pennsylvania Avenue a large sign may be seen which reads, See Washington with ll Dorothy Woodard. Bus leaves every hour. In an enormous blue rubber-neck-wagon sits 11 the smiling proprietress of the sight-seeing busses. i Keith's Vaudeville Theatre displays pictures of coming attractions. Sadie Shavitz, clever is I e character actress is the main feature of this week's bill, while others scheduled to perform are A- . , , Edwin Felton and John Croom, a successful comedy team, supported by a chorus which includes A 'A jf Lucile Scott, Dorothy Tucker and Grace Bennett. , ' In the Hall of Representatives a stocky gentleman is draped gracefully over a chair sleepnig. Q As he raises his head to inquire, When do we eat, I see that it is Congressman Victor Motz.

l sf office. Charles West, who sits gazing soulfully toward the clouds, now has a school of Synf thetic Dancing for young ladies. Doreen Alabaster has taken a day off to congratulate her former class-mate, Mayor McKethan. She controls the greatest cotton land in the state, so is rolling in wealth and a Packard-eight. Walter Campbell, cotton-broker, is seated beside her telling why it is cheaper to move than to pay rent. At the High School many old graduates are teaching. The Class of '27 is represented by Ina Davey, teacher of the Hunt and Peck Method of typingg Ina Louise DePoe, busy reading Monsieur Don't Care to her French class, and Mary Louisa Williams, whose course in Un- natural Natural History is making quite a hit . Flora McNeill is conducting a Charm School, for the Youth and Beauty of Cumberland and Harnett Counties. One of her able assistants is Catherine Morris, instructor in the sciences of IT, Katherine Purdie has all of these under her thumb since she is Miss Principal. Doctor Gregg Sutton has established a novel form of Hospital at Poe's Bottom, N. C. He refuses to accept any cases more serious than freckles for he says that troubles just ruin his naturally sweet disposition. He is ably assisted in his humanitarian efforts by several capable nurses, Katie Lou Holland, Bertha Sandlin and Mary Howard being among the number. Once more the scene shifts, and I see a tropical island. It is one of the famous Sandwich Islands. There under a palm tree full of monkeys is seated Raymond Cassidy. He is a full general in the army Qnot Salvationj and is in the islands to quell an uprising of the Sand Vv'itches. Jane Grassie, prize bathing beauty and Sand Witch is a leader of the revolt- the purpose of which is to keep the Sandwich Islands for the Sand Witches. Seated peril' ously on the tipftop branch of a datopalm is Paul1Cameron, the author of Dates With Sand Witches, an Excellent Diet. His dates with them fill several volumes! Coming up the beach is Alexander McGeachy, a missionary to the islands. A Sickly smell assails my nostrils as Pythia ceases speaking and I suddenly realize that someone is bending over me. It is mother, and she says: What did I tell you about going out riding alone on that outlaw horse? He threw you and you've been unconscious all day. With a tolerant smile I answered, Oh, well, he's a nice little horse and I got a great kick out of that ride.
