HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL liar so I asked a bystander who he was. He replied, “Why that is Father Walrath.” This illusion passes away and I am in a modern college of the far west. As I visit each one of the faculty I find that Clinton Jones teaches Latin and Lela Dake has specialized on Geometry. Again the vision changes, I fancy myself in a small town and I notice the following signs upon one of the buildings “Drs. Delong and Joels, faith cure used extensively.” Now I am strolling along the shores of a river, I come upon a woman busily engaged at a tub filled with clothes. As I approach I recognize her as Margaret Brown. Suddenly the scene changes and I am be- yond the golden stairs in a land of paradise. I eagerly scan the faces of the joyful throng but alas, I find no former inmates of the Hammond High School until as, I am strolling down a shady lane I meet Prof. Jones and Miss Sipher. Their first words of greeting are “Have you seen anything of Maggie McDougal or Margaret Brown ? ” just then I slipped, fell through the gate and went whirling through space until with a loud thump I struck something and awoke to find that I had fallen from my chair.
