G. H. S. SPOTLIGHT 11 And Arthur, as police, guards traffic The aeroplanes of the northern sky, After this I looked, and, Behold, Charles, a pilot, on trans-Atlantic line, With Roy Angle, his assistant, Is making trips always on time. Through the intensity of my vision The door of a home swung wide- There I saw Bess, wife and mother, With her family by her side: What could be more sweet than that When Katherine and Ruth decided, too, To settle the question, and create A home like Bess's, through and through. I also happened to find myself, In a city of that far-off time In a large office of patients, Where David is working sublime- A doctor, a surgeon, his profession, How greatly he is needed by man, And Margaret Heffner, his help-mate, Is assisting him all she can. Again my spirit was called away To a lofty Cathedral fine, Where strains of sweet music came pealing By Virginia's power divine: And stationed up on the rostrum, Aloft from the rest of mankind. Was Glen Haldeman, the pastor, Preaching by help Divine. After this my mind was carried away To the Court of the World, Supreme, Where Dot and Abbe together worked, -Isn't that a most glorious scene?- Giving divorces to married folk Who, like them, could never agree: Such sights kept entering my open mind And I thought they could never be. When, all at once, I saw with amaze In Hollywood, known of old, Anna Elizabeth, in her characteristic ways. An actress, sturdy and bold: And Helen, too, with fluency of speech, Giving orations from east to west- Preaching and demanding women's rights, They're as capable as men at best. As I beheld this scene, a building, Visited by many and known to be free, William Kline's hospital, was unveiled With a staff of nurses of highest degree: Isabelle Shuman, the Superintendent. Assisted by Florence-the happy two- Gave their best to the Institution, And served there many years through. Lucille and Margaret joined the staif, To serve for the cause of many While Nellie with her angelic voice, In song lends a helping handg Elliott, the inventor, chanced along To meet my sight-how changed things are - Just push the button , 'twas all he said, The invention's improved by far. Once more I gazed to the far-off land- When I saw Lois, an author true, Writing poetry, prose, and essays, And of poems, not a few: And Nora is still going further- A dentist she aims to be: While Thelma is private secretary For the League since thirty-three: And Isabel Henson's a teacher Of Economics in Marion's High, And Dorothy Lenharr, how near me, A hair dresser-do you know why? Africa's permanents are too lasting- She's greatly needed down here With civilization at its highest No savages she need fear. As I beheld this scene and marveled, The veil was drawn over my eyes, Shutting out the Things that are To Be And say, to my great surprise- I could not help but feel The vision I had witnessed Could be otherwise than real. So now, dear friends and classmates 'Twas nothing but a dream That I've been telling, how'er natural And real it to you may seem, But in this curious world of wonders, How often have dreams come true? So, who knows but this, my vision, May be realized by you? -Lois Grove
