I boarded a street car and found myself face to face with Ira Ewell, the conductor. On the car I saw Mary Brittingham, and Marguerite Carter, two hard working typists on their way home after a long day’s work. I got off at Dichtel’s “Big Bad Wolf Night Club” and went inside where I met George Askew ' , pilot of the “Luxury Liner,” crack transcontinental plane, designed by Stephen Knowles. I checked my bat with the hat-check girl who was none other than Nancy Beattie. Then I walked inside where 1 noticed Mrs. Tom Cramer, formerly Kitty Phillips, sitting at a table near the dance floor ' . At a nearby table 1 saw Lieutenant Harrington Cochran with Marie Lamb. Ensign Billy Moore and Lieutenant C. L. Moseley were wandering around enjoying everything and missing nothing. Norris Martin, master of ceremonies, introduced the floor show. The first number was a tap-dance by Charley Gerrity. Then in came the chorus, featuring the acrobatic antics of the Ferrell twins, Edith and Helen. The next and final number was a beautiful rendition of “Trees” by the renowned tenor, Milton Beimler. The orchestra then struck up a fast piece and the floor was soon filled with dancers. In the orchestra I noticed Wilton Born, banjo, and Eugene Goldstein, saxaphone. The cigarette girl, Betty Bond, came up and told me that Betty Sinclair was the designer of all the costumes used in the stage show. She also informed me that Wilson Wright was in charge of all the staging for the floor show. I noticed a great crush in one section ol the dance floor and hurried to see the great attraction. It was only Jane Sinclair, getting her regular rush. 1 saw Frances Woodley, the club hostess, all in a flurry. She told me that one of the chours girls had just fainted. Just then Dr. Edwin Windier came up and 1 saw Frances give a sigh of relief. She knew the case was in the hands oi a competent doctor. I started walking home and on my way I bumped into Irene Andrews, Annabel Johnson, Chaunca Franklin, and Alberta Ketchum who were coming from a meeting of the Sit’n Chatter Club. As I passed through the heart of the town I saw one small shop that was still lighted. I peeped in and there was Pollyanna Kelly, in her pet shop, trying to sell Betsie Johnson a parrot. Rowena Rogers, a clerk, was disgustedly pointing a finger at a blue eagle as if to say, “The N. R. A. says forty-eight hours shall be the maximum working time for any clerk.” Next door I noticed a pawn shop. I looked in and there stood J. B. Bain try¬ ing to get a loan on some jeweled cuff links. The pawnbroaker, Hudgins West, seemed very reluctant to give the amount asked for. On the next street corner a policeman, Carl Thomas, was arresting Lee Smith for disturbing the peace. The complainant, Miriam Vick, said she could stand his bass horn, but when he started a one-man band at midnight, that was too much. Mary Elliott, a neighbor of Lee’s was insisting that the music was not disturbing the peace, but was full of real beauty. Mildred Laws, a waitress in a nearby all-night lunch¬ room, was frankly enjoying the spectacle. Elsie White, a reporter for the “Tribune” was quickly taking down all the facts. Just before I came to my apartment 1 saw Elizabeth Harper, Margaret Hicks, Mary Robins, and Frances Wynne. They explained that they were on the early morning shift in the Runless Hosiery Mills. When 1 entered the apartment I saw Doris Cooper, the new combination clerk and switchboard operator. Before I went to bed I thought of a wonderful thing. By a quirk of fate I had seen all of my fellow classmates of old H. H. S. Donald Van Horn
