After buying several souvenirs from Dorothy Crook we again packed our grips and started for Hollywood. It was late in the evening when we arrived in fascinating Hollywood. The next morning while walking down Park Avenue on which many of the screen stars live, I saw a beautiful blonde who proved to be Mariea Baum, the star of HThe Hazards of Hortense,'7 whose scenario was written by Hermina Blumen- stine. She was dressed in a-modish suit which came from a Harrisburg firm owned by Mary Ward and Lenore Rice and wore a. stunning hat made by a New York designer, Marie Kenny. She offered to take us around the place and told us that we would see quite at few friends. At the entrance of the Lapkin Studio we noticed Jean Snyder and Mary Foultz trying in vain to enter the gate of filmdom. Mariea conducted us through the studio and introduced us to one of the assistant directors, Martha Isenberg. Since she was putting on a western film, she took us to her lot where a group of people were putting up log cabins, among who were Ella Downey, in charge of the carpenters, and Mairgretta McMurtrie, furnishing the houses. In the office were Margaret Hoerner and Pauline Lutz busily typing scenarios. under the direction of Margaret Dickert. Among the actresses and actors that were passing we saw Agnes Clancy, the daring aviatrix, and Dorothea Smyser, cast for the role of a society belle, Lenorc Sourbier was clinging to the arm of her famous actor husband, Glenn Hunter. She was greatly envied by Helen- Groce and Anna Marzolf, who considered Glenn the ideal man, Lenore in turn envied Helen Lucas who was playing opposite him, as his leading lady. VVe all enjoyed this very much. Mariea left us then for she had to act that afternoon. Left to ourselves we wandered about till we saw several large build- ings. We asked what these were and were told that they were institutions for the mentally deficient under the charge of Catherine Fitzpatrick and Jean Hook. The majority of the inmates were people who had tried to get into the movies and couldn't. This made us feel so bad that we shook the dust of Hollywood off our heels and went to San Francisco. lt was surprising to learn how many of our classmates had migrated West, especially to the city of the Golden Gate. Among the society matrons of San Francisco were Anna Marten, Esther Aumiller and Helen VVeaver whom we met at the beautiful beach. Their children were happily playing in the sand under the care of Florence Beard and Mary Franks, experts along that line. As we walked along the beach we stopped in one of the many tea rooms called HThe Garlandf' after its owner. Marie Kearson was in charge of it and-served us a delicious lunch which, she said, their Hartist of appctitesf' Esther McNeal, had prepared. While we were eating we noticed a beautiful yacht riding at anchor, which Marie told us belonged to several. successful spinsters of San Francisco. Ellen Holbert and Lucille Kann, doctors, Dorothy Saul, scout official, Caroline VVilson, kindergarten teacher, and Margretta Wolrlfalrth, a. business woman, owned it jointly. The rest of the time Mildred Motter took care of it. As we were leaving we met Mary Grace Freeburn. She insisted that we spend a few days with her. Margaret Dean had been decorator and Evelyn Demmy drapery expert in her home. Mary Grace arranged a. number of affairs for our entertainment. One of these was a card party at which the guests were Catherine Pellow, journalist, Mildred Yingling, teacher, Mary Thomas and Mae Moore, private secretaries, Esther Leppard, a. mission worker, Dorothy Polleck, owner of a beauty shop, Rose Levin, wife of a prosperous merchant, and Dorothy Nye, a young widow. When the guests had gone Mary Grace left tus in an old-fashioned bedroom, after wishing us sweet dreams. The next morn- ing while lying in the comfortable bed, I heard my name called by a voice more familiar than Mary Grace is. l opened my eyes and beheld not my hostcss's quaint bedroom but my room. Then I rea.lized that my trip and experiences had existed not in reality as they well might have done, but only in Dreamland. -GERTRUDE KLEMM. lllllIIIllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllll llllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllll llIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Tucnfy

VVith forebodings we came from our Junior Highs new, To attend this beloved school, We have not been perfect at the Gray and the Blue, Nor always lived up to the rule, But now that we're nearing the end of the score, VVe may proudly look back, and we'll see That we did our best, and we eouldn't do more Our' class of 123. As the time approaches for us to depart From teachers and schoolmates, too, VVe know that We'll keep warm corners in our heart For the school of the Gray and Blue, We'll carry many mem 'ries of the happy times we've seen, And the future We look forward to with glee, For the training and the learning, we know, now, that they mean A whole lot to the class of '23.-EUGENIA A.
