On through the until at last, like a mighty bird, we swooped down to the earth. was I? Ah, the familiar tip of the Washington Monument. I am in ashington, but who is this trusty gentleman who has so safely piloted me to my destination? No other than Eugene Plummer, a member of the class of '31, Memories rushed through my mind and I was destined to recall many former members of the class ere my trip had ended. As I alighted from the airship, a snow white plane was swiftly ascending. An attendant mentioned the fact that it was Mildred Boone, famous Trans-Atlantic flyer. I had not noticed my companions as we flew over towns and fields, but now I turned to see them as I waited for my baggage. A familiar face?-oh ys-Mlle.

I Went to Chapel Hill-Annette Ward was acting as a chaperone at a dance given by the Phi Alpha fraternity Strolling over the campus I bumped into Professor ,Thomas Sutton who deeply engrossed in Languages of the Ages by Ronald McNeill. I was attracted to Durham by the prospect of hearing the Rhodes Ben Rose. While there I attended a concert by the great violinist, Derby. Dorothy Burger was her capable manager. The Governor, Murray Howell, had helped Fayetteville by building the lock on the Cape Fear. But Fayetteville is the same in that it still has Ye Ole Market House. I had a short chat with John S. Armiield, Bishop of East Carolina. He was making a series of addresses on the Philippine Islands. Monroe Evans is teaching French in dear old F. H. S. and Mary Polick is head of the Commercial Department. I 'went into the bank to draw a check and met Annie Mae Pate. She is secretary to the president of the bank, Harold Cameron. McPhail Geddie, cashier, very kindly cashed my check. I decided I needed a new dress and walked into a very exclusive shop. Rebecca Jackson owned it and her models were Lillian Baker, Allene Deal and Shirley Barrett. Lessie Mae Malloy was her Paris buyer. Odell West and Fletcher Newell are operators of ships, belonging to Bill Scott, which go to Wilmington with freight and passengers. Dorothy Thompson, president of the U. ,D. C., had just completed a histoy of Fayetteville. Louise Nimocks had been an eiiicient helper. I heard of the sensational operation performed on Bill Crawley by Dr. Cecil Alligood with Urbana Cromartie as his head nurse. ' The Fayetteville Observer of which Roscoe Strickland was editor, carried an account of Kate Bai1ey's inheriting 31,000,000 and founding a Girls' Academy. On her teachers' staff she has Nannie Biggs, Elizabeth Crane, and Grace Stringield. I went into a beauty parlor to have my hair dressed and to my surprise I saw that Mamie Johnson was in charge of the shop. Her skillful assistants were Eleanor Fann and Ruth Phillips. ' I later went to Over-Hills to a golf tournament. I saw Bert Alabaster and Kenneth Harley, the former the proprietor of the estate and the latter the N.B.C. of the event. Among the outstanding players were John McBennet Bascom Brett. ' sun was so bright that it hurt my eyes and I rubbed them. To my great nt it was morning and the sun had just risen and I was still at my camp. I went to a fortune teller and told her my dream and asked what it could she told me it was only a fragmentary' view into the future of the class RUBY BAILEY. Twenty-tive 'Egan'
