'tThere are no Germans in Heaven. Verboten! Naturally, this pleased us very much, but we rushed off gaily to see the other foreign language teacher, Miss Dyer. She was just as pretty as ever and was very content with her lot. She said that Latin, being a dead language, has naturally been chosen the oflicial language of Heaven. The Business Department was next, and there we found Miss Strand un- ravelling the mysteries of Shorthand and teaching her pupils to run chromatic scales on the typewriter. Mr. Baker's prodigies were learning to juggle dol- lars and cents and were getting good training for future service as Recording Angels. We learned later that Mr. Baker had led Chapel exercises the day before our arrival and had treated his auditors to a couple of Bass solos. Our next stop was the Manual Training Department. Mr. Pease courte- ously showed us some work that his boys were turning out and it certainly was splendid work. He was busy preparing some stage scenery for Miss Appleby's Oral English Play and we were sure that if he helped as much in that play as he used to at M.C.H.S., Miss Appleby need not worry about stage properties. From the Manual room we went to see Miss Ingleman, whose duty was to start the Freshies in the straight and narrow path. We were certainly glad to SSG h9Y, f01' WG HIWHYS will have a Warm spot in our hearts for her. She had been in charge of the Study Hall during her vacant periods, but she was too humang she couldn't get mad. We passed on soon to the Study Hall and Library. Miss Cooper was cer- tainly in her element, for she had charge of the entire Library of Paradise and had the honor of being the first Librarian to introduce the Dewey Decimal system of Card Indexes in Heaven. Mrs. Dabney was there too, for she had been the last member of the Fac- ulty to enter Paradise and had been placed in charge of the Study Hall. In the course of the conversation, she took occasion to favor us with a short moral talk on My Ideal Man . She advanced some beautiful ideas, all right. But most of us used to know Mrs. Dabney when she was just Vashti. After leaving the Library, we went to see Miss Reppert, whom we found in the Gymnasium, coaching the GiI'lS' Basketball team. Zelda's only complaint against her new life was the fact that all the Angels wear robes and there are so few patterns that her Domestic Art work was necessarily restricted. Suddenly the girls, who had been busily describing to Miss Reppert the latest styles on Earth, noticed that all the boys of the Class had beat it . In a few moments, they were discovered grouped about Miss Sheets and basking in the warmth of her sunny smile. The boys were eating Angel-food cake and Divinity fudge while the Faculty kid Was telling them of a certain young man from K. U. who had gone overseas. The lively conversation which followed was interruped by the clamorous ringing of a bell. The dream was over and the young man's arm Reached out and choked that Pesky alarm . r 11- Vl f h KM, xmfj gf' , 25
