The eoene switches to the Stork Club. I see Ambassador Nyle Lamo checking hie hat with the head-check girl, Helen Smith, He is accompanied by his wife, the former Harriet Howe. I admired the paintings in the walls of this place and wondered whose work they might be. I strolled up and inspected the paintings more closely and found down in the corner, the signature of one of America's leading artists, Darell Koons. A new vision appears. Pacing the floor of his office at Michigan State College is President Cutcher, laying down the law to one of hia students who had been using vulgar language in the presence of oo-eds. In the midst of Harry's lecture the door opened suddenly. His secretary Jeannie Polk dashed in rustling a batch of papers. The light in the ball faded and Madam Mazella indicated the liter-view was concluded. The oriental receptionist directed me ouU I blinked when the sunlight hit my eyes, after being in darkness for so long. I was getting hungry so I walked down to a nearby restaurant. I was greeted by a beautiful waitress, Mabel Tobey. I looked into the kitchen and there was one of the city's outstanding cooks, Alberta Sharp. While waiting for my order to be served I turned on the radio. Bill Snyder, radio oommentator, was Just winding up his sports revue. A news item flash—Earl Ball has Just broken Hank Greenberg's home-run reoord. The next program starred the great poetess, Bette Anne Hlckerson, reading some of her newest poems. SEMIOR CLASS POEM T'was in the fall of '42 Forty freshmen and that's not few With not a cloud in the azure sky Entered the doors of Homer High Sophomores then we soom became Everything went on about the same In all activities, we took a part And entered everything with soul and heart As Juniors, we gave our first class play And it was a success—so people say. The Senior Proa, we gave that year Also deserves a welcome cheer. The Senior Class we've reached at last And taking a thoughtful look to the past We think of the times we have enjoyed While being so earnestly here employed. Lower olassaen, we say to you Trials and temptations are not few, But try in everything you do To be true and loyal to Homer High School. —Zell Rice
