I was no longer taking A9 algebra so I did have some leisure. Looking at the calendar, I discovered that it was just fifteen years to a day since I had been graduated from Le Conte. As I strolled down the street, I let my mind drift back to our old gang at Le Conte. I was aroused very abruptly from my dreams by bumping into a man who was nearly seven feet tall. Luckily for my health, it proved to be Charles Kingsbury. He was now busy inventing all manner of useful appli- ances for the convenience of mankind. He was on his way to the Blonder National Bank to arrange about the finances of his newest invention, a com- bination portable typewriter, gum machine, hat-rack and walking-stick. At the bank we were admitted at once, because we were from Le Conte. There was a standing invitation at the bank for any former Le Conte student. Past three captains of industry, a high government official and the president of a railway, we swept majestically. Blonder was dictating to three secretaries, Marjorie Greenberger, Evelyn Rightman and Evelyn Rohrlich. He gave what was left of his attention to Kenny Chappell, who was the contractor for his new home, Carleton White, the architect, and our pal and jazz-Whistler, Morgan Bowne, who was to do the interior decorating for the new palace Blonder was erecting. In the midst of all this confusion came a telephone call from Roger Parish asking David to come for a cruise in his yacht. Blonder set the date in the near future. How he could keep up his work and go on yacht cruises was 'way beyond me. After consulting his watch and his appetite, Blonder decided to knock off for lunch. VVe rode to lunch in the limousine that David had just purchased from Al Aronson's Automobile Agency. I53l

Blonder had all the Le Conte news. Ygnacio Bonillas and joseph Sistrom had gone down to South America to look for a silver mine. They found the mine all right, but it didn't do them any good because joe made the map that showed where it was. On the trip back to civilization he began to think of something else and put a log of wood in his pocket and threw the map on the Ere After a good lunch at Fred I'Iammel's Cafe, we went to Edward Belascds Theatre. VVe went there because we could get in for nothing. Belasco himself met us at the entrance. The prologue was just starting when we arrived. Arline Cornwell and Nadine Coughlin were the star dancers. According to the program they wore costumes designed by Dorothy lVIyers. The feature picture was a Nicholas Benton Alexander Production. Ben had allihisiheroes blonde. I never could understand why he hated the 'lLatin Loversl' so, until I found some of the blue slips he used to get in Latin. After the show I bought a paper to see what all the newsboys were yelling HExtra about. It seemed that Esther Armstrong had performed her first operation after getting her diploma as a doctor about a month before. The extra was about her acquittal from a manslaughter charge. VVhat made it doubly interesting was the fact that jack Christensen had been her attorney. That night when I got home I concluded that my leisure time had been well spent.
