HIGH TOR The Class of'27 Thru a gate that opens wide, We prepare to pass outside, Standing side by side with pride, We, the class of '27. Like the gallant knights of old, We are ready, strong, and bold, Swords of truth and knowledge hold, We, the class of '27. We behold a vision bright, Of a future filled with light, As we seek to gain the height, We, the class of '27, Anna Bryant, '27 rl 17 lt

HIGH TOR ClassP ophecy T F!-iii 1937, after five years of study in Europe, we Dorothy Stone and Margaret Staudt, I 'Q' ',l I decided to return to the United States to make a short tour of the country before if Tj continuing our respective studies of art and research work. Having learned that Frank DeNoyelles was American Ambassador to France, we decided to visit him be- fore we left Eurpoe. He insisted that we attend a large banquet to be held the next evening in honor of Gurnea Wiles, who had just arrived in Paris with her manager, Bernard Wachtel, to begin a concert tour through Europe. . The next morning we stopped at The Lucille, a very exclusive shop kept by Madame Doris Furman. We were soon fitted for the evening. At the banquet we were pleasantly sur- prised to meet William Tierney, still a wealthy bachelor and, as of old, surrounded by the fair sexy and Robert Heminover, the famous author of Les Femmes.
