HIGH TOR visit it the next day. On the train we met Margaret Francis and Dot Deming, who were also bound for Haverstraw, where they were collaborating on a history book with the aid of their efficient secretary, Dorothy Chlupsa. Arriving at the school, we called at the office first and met Superintendent Charles Keesler and his secretary, Ola Tomlins, who loved typing as much as ever. Charles showed us thru the whole building, then took us to the gym where Harriet Springstead was training the varsity basketball team. He told us that Barbara Miller was the head of the Health Department but that she was at present taking a vacation at the Kolb farm in Congers. As we still had a little time left before the train was due, we stopped at Erna Schmid's Tea Room, where Erna was just serving Anna Bryant and her troop of Girl Scouts. lI9l

A few days later, on board ship, we found that Marion Hunt was also homeward bound after a trip around the world. She told us that Eleanor Reardon had become anun and that she was teaching at the college of Mount St. Vincent. After landing in New York we went to our hotel, only to discover that Herbert Lawson was the new manager. Edgar Watson, his able assistant, told us that Bernard Fox was judge of the Juvenile Court in Rockland County, that Koster and Kling were running The New York Times, and that Vincent deCarolis was the contractor for the Blanche Orphan Asylum.
