18 THE POLYTECHNIC IVIAID JUNE '25 PROPHECY For many years, I, Barbara Kirkland, being an old maid and living alone, had wished to take a trip abroad and see all the many wonders of the old world. So, in the spring of 1945 I started from Portland. I changed cars at Seattle, and the first person I saw was Louise Erickson. She was standing near theiticket office and I walked up to her and said, Hello . She was as surprised to see me as I had been to see her. She said she was just going to take a trip to San Francisco, later going to Honolulu, where she was intending to teach foreign languages. Her life- long friend, Edna Vandenberg, was also going to Honolulu, where she was to become head nurse of the Soldiers' Hospital. I had to run to catch my train but I succeeded in buying the Seattle Times . After I had found a seat and become settled I started to read the paper. In the first column I read about the great naturalist, Clara Jensen, who was going to Peru. As an assistant she was taking Thora Malmer. In the lower right hand corner, I was surprised to see a clever cartoon with another school1nate's name on it. This was Isabelle Gray. On the editorial page I noticed that the editor was Alice Schwartz. In the poet's corner was a cute little poem called Dreams by Dolores Alexander. In the stage column I read about Ruth Simpson, whowas taking the leading part in a comedy being given at the Star Theater, which was owned by Amy Tuller. I was sorry I couldn't stay in Seattle to see Ruth act, but I had to start at once for New York. I put the paper away and glanced down the aisle, and who should I see but Helen Shere. She was talking and laughing with a man who was sit- ting beside her. They looked so happy together I decided that they must have been married and were on their honeymoon. She glanced in my direc- tion and recognized me, said something to the man, stood up and made her way up the aisle to me. In our conversaiton I learned that she and her banker husband were celebrating their tenth anniversary instead of being on their honeymoon, and they were still happy. I learned that she had married a cousin of Edith Hanke's. Edith was now teaching millinery in Los Angeles Polytechnic Schools. Viola Fuhrer was teaching History there. Helen also told me that Viola Fuhrer's two friends, Donella Hadley, and Margaret Brugger, had become missionaries and were now in India. Helen had to leave me at Spokane, so our visit was soon over. It was two days later that I reached New York. I found that my boat would not leave until two the next day so I prepared to stay over night. I stayed at the Sicilia. Hotel, which was owned by none other than Rosina Sicilia. She happened to be at Palm Beach for the opening of her new hotel, so I was not able to see her. After dinner, I decided to go to a circus that had just come to the city. It was owned by the Bolliger Sisters, P. B. CAsE W. j.
