. if SENIGR CLASS PROPHECY Furfher Advenfures of Alice LICE had been sitting on the lake bank for a long while, watching the sun on the water, and wondering vaguely if it wasn't nearly time for tea, when she heard someone passing behind her. She looked up just in time to see Lois Oaks, brandishing a large pocket watch and looking very Hustered. Alice, noting to herself that this was rather strange as Lois, a member of the Class of '42, had long since left Cooperstown to become conhdential secretary to the First Lady, scram- bled after her just in time to her her mutter, Oh dear, oh dear, I shall be late: and Eleanor without her notes! Alice ran as fast as she could but Lois had vanished and the next thing she knew she was entering the Foyer at a precipitous rate, to find herself in a group which surrounded . . . and again Alice thought it strange . . . Marilyn Menkin. Marilyn was telling a long tale of her woes con- tracted as a result of the modern trend against sweet and sentimental VVestern Union messages, and the subsequent collapse of her thriving business of compos- ing them. Sue Stever was at her side, and Alice was much relieved to hear her complete an arrangement for the distraught Marilyn to receive a month's concen- trated rest-cure at the famous Suzy's Sanctuary, a mountain-top refuge for the Bewildered Bereft, which Steve has run with great proht for several years. Alice had glimpsed a tea-table through the crowd and she started towards it, her eye on a solitary chocolate cookie which reposed there. She was just about to reach out when a very brown hand closed over it, and whose face should she look up into but Penny McCullough'sl Penny, as Alice had recently heard, was living out on Montauk ,and in the course of conversation it was revealed that in the past month she had rescued twenty-seven lost mariners, not to mention several other species of stray males who had wandered under the guiding ray of her friendly lighthouse beam. Alice had noticed a commotion behind the tea-table and when she went over to see what it was she almost fancied herself arriving at the Mad I-Iatter's tea-party again. However this turned out to be but Helen Gilbert and Betty Semmes having tea, with Pumpy Redlich sound asleep between them! Alice had read in the papers only that morning of Helen's having been voted National Campfire Girl, and she felt elated to be meeting her in person. Betty runs a prosperous crocodile farm in Savannah, and sells reptiles of all ages and sizes into kind and providential homes. Needless to say Alice was fascinated by this strange occupation and was eagerly questioning Betty, when the Dor- mouse began to emit weird little noises that sounded strangely like, Lean-hup . . . lean-hup! just before she woke up. Poor Pumpy was terribly worn out now that the crew season had set in, as her job as professional coxswain kept her rushing continually among the various rivers and lakes. Alice turned next to Robin Hill and Mary Heisey fshe had grown quite used to meeting these long-departed people, and no longer thought this other than an ordinary day-in-the-life-of-Knoxj. Robin was busily relating the details of a proposed voyage to Australia in her Star boat, and Tigger, when she could get a word in edgewise, was protesting feebly that she couldn't possibly get away from her duties as housemother at her Ohio State fraternity, all the time looking so frightened at the very idea that Alice longed to go and comfort her. However her good intentions were halted by the arrival of a very tanned and flourishing Ducky, who caused Alice to forget all but her interest in this famed and versatile character. It turned out that nothing much had been going on since Ducky had won the ladies Welterweight boxing championship, except for a few minor debates in which she easily maintained her standing as the deputy of all young people in their struggle for Freedom from Parental Restrictions. At this point Ruth Freihofer joined them and while listening to the conversation between the new- comer and Ducky Qwho had suddenly adopted a vivid Brazilian accent . . . to make everyone feel at home, Alice supposedj our small heroine gathered that poor Ruchie was having a simply terrible time trying to decide between her suitors, Bob and Ted, who were by this time getting very insistent. Alice hap- pened to look across the Foyer just then, to be suddenly and strangely reminded of her old friend, the Cheshire Cat. But it was really none other than Judy Seaton approaching, evidently much pleased with herself. She carefully deposited a load of immense Latin volumes on the floor before she began to tell the won- derful news . . . she had just signed a contract with a foreign missionary associa- tion and was about to leave for the Fiji Islands to preach the beauties and advan- tages of a classical education Qmore especially Ciceroj to the poor heathens. - 76
