THE POLYTECHNIC MAID 21 Plank had won that. But then, I remembered that Charlotte had always been clever. In the winter of 1945 I went to Egypt where I found Margit Nelson, Lela Woody, Ruth Redmond, Jeannette Robson, Frieda Sinn and Leona King digging up the mummies of early Egyptian kings. Marie Maes was the supervisor of their expedition. She had discovered a way of making sand into a metal more valuable than gold, and stronger than steel. I decided then to go to South America. I went through the Panama Canal of which Eva Borelli was caretaker and Margaret Voll her assistant. The boat stopped at a Peruvian port, where I decided to get off. I heard that an exploring party had found some Inca ruins, that were, as yet, un- heard of. Much to my surprise, Martha Battin and VVilma Cromwell were at the head of this exposition. I decided to go home in a balloon. This method of traveling was made possible by Marion VanHook who had been given the fortune of Henry Ford. I got back to Portland in time to bid Myrtle Gibney and Helen Parsons good-bye. They were on their way to Scappoose as delegates to an Old Maids, Convention. One week after my return to Portland, Edna Jones, was elected Mayor of the City of Roses and Margaret Stone, Governor of Oregon. It seemed so good to be home again with my cats and birds and parrots. Last night I called Mrs. Grahame, who is still the Dean at Poly, and told her all about the girls she knew and helped so much when they were in school. I know that she and everyone will be glad to know that thus have various members of the june '25 class found their roles in the huge cast of life. -Barbara Kirkland -Ellen Schultz il I .
