Dorothy had selected her favorite style Wa butch. The ceiling was heavy, there was no doubt about it, and it compelled the plane to fly low over our heads, affording us a clear view of Pete, air-line hostess, adf ministering pep-pills to Molotov, 'Iody Edwards, at the controls, was in high spirits as she dipped her wings over a herd of cattle, causing a mild stampede. Ten years, we discovered, had not altered Gretchen's determination to lind the man on her mind ee the one who is six-feet-three. We must confess she was off to a good start in 1947. As for her exaroommate, Robin Prince, she has retired to Cleve- land, where her multifarious family duties keep her jumping. From out of nowhere a little fellow bearing a remarkable resemblance to Jack Frost appeared before us in much the same manner as our first gnomish friend. He pointed an eat at a snow flurry in which Trinkie Mclieever was discovered turning domestic. Yes, there she was, in the wilds of the Antarctic, bundled in bear skins, thawing out frozen foods for Admiral Byrd and company. But as quickly as Jack Frost had come, he went, leaving us alone on the hill con- fronted by a roaring train which whizzed past, engineered by Donna Lee Courtney. We smiled knowinglyg Donna Mae had at last devised a double-duty commuting system from West Point to Syracuse! Lo and behold, we saw before our eyes a vision of far away Egypt! Trudging over the desert sands was Doc Irving, Ph.l7., conducting a search for the bones of the late King Woo Woo. Behind her vvearily dragging her own bones, was Dotty Gouin- lock, who was taking stenogtaphic notes on the proceedings. Soon the dauntless pair reached the entrance of a mighty tomb, crying out the secret password, Open the door, Richard. Entering the tomb, they were confronted by a coflin. Eagerly they ptied it open, and there, in plain hieroglyphics were the words, Kilroy is here! Egypt faded, and something even more intangible floated before us. Golly, it Couldn't be Dorothy Archer! It was, and after a year with the Knox Ghost we saw her still communing with spirits. As fantastically as this augury appeared, thus it left us. Silently we stood on Rum Hill watching the storm subside into the distant valley. Dazedby this revelation, we turned slowly towards Knox, with playful puffs of innocent wind slapping our faces. Vfith visions of the Furies awaiting us, we began to run, and we raced to the bottom of the hill, taking with us the happy knowledge that our class, for better or for worse, would still be far better than the Faculty had predicted. 107 f !
