their Here is a parade, and it 't. lead by Bertha Sayre I She is the chairman of the National Women’s Democratic Convention, they are having a demonstration, campaign- ing for their nominee for the next election against Harvey Ek- rem. This nominee, in whom they all have confidence, is none other than Mary Elizabeth Cock- burn. Last but not least, over here wrapped in sables is Ernes- tine Walker. She married a multi-millionaire and is having the time of her life flying back and forth across the Atlantic in her own plane. As the witch uttered these last words the light suddenly died out. Gasping, the witch fell to the floor, clutching wildly in the darkness. With screams of terror, the girls rushed from the hut and plunged down the narrow path, while from the distance could still be heard the demoniacal laughter of The Witch of the Stillaguanish. SENIOR FLAY Dollars to Doughnuts a farce in three acts was scheduled to be presented on Friday October 8 but as the curtains were bout to rise the lights went out dur- ing the wind storm.

Harvey Ekrem who was elected president last election by the new Shuffle Party. I see chalk and erasers flying about the room. Oh,there’s Blanche Moyer teaching her anall pupils how to get A in English. I hear dancing feet and then the roar of applause as Marie Meyer and Ruth Wiley take their bow as the latest tap dancing team on Broadway. I see that Chester Meyers has opened a five and ten cent store in Reno, Nevada and Leslie Whitford is the floor walker. Why is it that my feet want to dance. Oh, it is very clear, Carl Nelson is the leader of a great dance orchestra, 'Tickle Toes• and is idolized by the young people. My globe reveals that Floyd Nourse has perfected a, new brand of potatoes, a marvelous spud that obviates the necessity of paring knives, by growing without skins. I see a large department store. It is filled with beauti- ful clothes for women, and in the blaze of lights, I read the name of 'pitchford, the Y oman's Cloth- ier : Cold buttons shine and there behind them with chest proudly thrown out is Ray Garrett Admiral of the Pacific Fleet. I see he is quite a lady killer, also. And, oh, Dorothy Eergwall is now hailed cl s the champion mountain climber in the world. She made the record of scaling 1ft. Everest in five hours. She didn't disclose, however, that she was wearing a new kind of belt which made her lighter and she could go faster. This belt was made by that famous inventor, Fred Miller, who has his offices and factory in what used to be called the Lake Stevens High School. The gjobc revenlS Gladys Johnson's name on a patent medi- cine advertisement stating that by the use of the marvelous Reduco she has accomplished the remarkable feat of losing exact- ly three and one-fourth pounds. A trolley car comes into view, which is owned and operated by Kenneth Krogh, which makes regular trips. Oh, its running into a new streamlined Rolls Royce driven oy Ella Jane Burns who married the town constable Paul Skucy. Kenneth is in for a round of scolding as Paul Skucy always shows his authority in cases whei'e the defendant is smaller than he. Large headlines in the pa- per show where Bill Barnes has just caught the largest salmon ever found in the Pilchuck River. It weighed two pounds and was one foot long. Billy has become the leading authority on salmon in .the country and spends his time on the river banks fishing and ing—mostly thinking. Edwin McUurray's future appears before me as the mayor of Lake Stevens and here is some gossip, he has taken up beauty culture as a side line and has opened up a shop in town. I see Florence Carlson has become the loading dietitian in the General Hospital in Everett. She is gaining the confidence of the doctors as she .has only killed seven patients within this last year by her diets. There is Jim Marsh, the head chef in the new Waldorf Astoria. He has 100 assistant chefs and is especially noted for his wonderful receipes of cream pies. Ah ha I I see a bush--why it's hair, and look who's under it! Norman Matson. He's cer- tainly living up to his reputa- tion of being the poet laureate of England.
