,,. 1 ,-.. ' -v-e ,,- V ' , I. .-wg. ' rnpbenp Vlfhen I left Lincolnton High School in 1922, everyone was excited over the wonderful things that were being accomplished by Radio. Since l was very inter- ested in science at that time, I decided to try some experiments in that field. After working for ten years I have at last succeeded in perfecting an instrument called Radioscope. Through this marvelous device, by simply placing the glass on the name, one can see what a person is doing at the present time. just to test this out I placed the glass on an old note-book which I had used the last year I was in high school. As it covered the name Lincolnton 'High School I expected to see the old building so familiar to us in the days that were past- when behold! a most beautiful new structure came into view. It was the dream fulhlled of a real high school building for Lincolnton. I was so pleased over the sight of the long-desired building that I accidentally gave the book a push and the name of Miss Mcliay was covered by the glass-and there was the picture of a most successful author. Une of the best sellers of the day had just come from her pen, The popularity was so great that it was being translated into French by the author herself. Next I decided to see what had become of Miss Leach. I was surprised beyond measure to see her calmly rocking in a comfortable chair on the porch of a pretty bungalow-darning socks! I was getting curious now to know where Miss Anthony was living, so I adjusted the glass over her name. More surprises-she was at that moment sitting before a mirror making up for her part in a picture that was being produced. Now I was determined to find out what had become of our superintendent. As soon as I had his name covered, a most beautiful sight met my eyes. It was a pretty pasture filled with wonderful Holstein cows, and in their midst, inspecting his treasures, stood Mr. Johnson. Ile had gone back to the simple life of a coun- try gentleman. As the name of Miss Burke came under the glass the scene was changed to a crowded street corner, and there standing on a soap box was the first woman candidate for presidency. 29

VVhen I tried to find what Mr. Inabinet was doing the picture showed him in the new school trying to get the young ideas to shoot. The next picture showed Miss Fulton, a choral director in New York City. Since I was so successful in looking down the years and seeing my teachers, I proceeded to run down the roll of l9ZZ to see what my old classmates were doing, The first name was Rose Budd Chamberlain. I was not at all surprised to find that she was still as studious as ever and was teaching Sanskrit in Columbia I'niversity. Next the picture shifted to a large and beautiful church in San Francisco. llere the people were so crowded that there was not even standing room, and all had come from far and wide to hear America's most thrilling evangelist, Lester Crowell. At the next name a crowd of Chinamen appeared standing around a stately figure, who was holding a large, open Ilible in one hand, and wildly making ges- tures with the other. lmagine my surprise when I recognized Juanita Ford. Again the scene changed and I saw Marjorie Hoke standing in the doorway of a beautiful house. From her expression we knew that only happiness dwelt therein. VVithin the walls of a large, beautiful hospital was Lena Hauss as the very capable head nurse. Next I saw a huge building which I knew immediately to be a theater, and stretched across the front was an electrical sign that announced Minnie, the XYorld Famous Toe Dancer. As the interior came into view there appeared on the stage a dark-haired girl, the sole actor, twirling on her toes. As she turned I recognized Prue Holly. In the old days one could never imagine XVillie Ree Johnston's ever being still: so truly it seemed a miracle, when I saw her after all these years, standing in Childs-NVolfe's window, with her beautiful long hair streaming down her back and not a single freckle. She was advertising Danderine and Stilhnan's Freckle Cream. The next picture was rather startling. It showed a handsomely dressed woman walking down Pennsylvania Avenue. As she approached I saw that she was Alma Lineberger, now the wife of a North Carolina senator. 30
