THE GLEAM Class Gifts HE Senior Class of 1930, being by nature very generous is leaving a graduation present for each of its members. . To Virginia Allen we give a make-up box which should remind her of the many pleasant hours spent in class during her Freshman year. Jane Annan is the proud possessor of a new Packard. VVe hope she will enjoy her rides in this car as much as we know she has enjoyed those in a certain other car. We know Mary Bange would like a private telephone so we are having one in- stalled in her room so she can talk to her numerous boy-friends in privacy. To Luella Didget we give this rolling pin in order that she may keep Enoch straight and obedient. To Martha- Camovitch we give a niee ear of corn. It should 1'emind her of the many pleasant evenings spent near a certain young doctor. VVe think a cedar chest would be a very good present for Pauline Collins. She can use it not only as a hope chest, but also as a box in which to collect and keep her thoughts. VVe found this handsome young man looking for a girl-friend down on F street, sol we are giving him to Jack', Clukey. Wle hope she will be true to him even during her vacation.

To Beth Duehon we give this 12-inch ruler in order that she may be sure that every- thing she does may be according to rule. A sled was the best substitute we could iind in looking for a Bob for Gertrude Starr. Edith Fogg can learn about the habits of a rabbit from this bunny. She can also have the egg which 'goes with it. Gertrude Gift will, we know, enjoy a pie. We guarantee it to be good and it should bring back pleasant memories to Pie Faeef' This heart may bring back happy recollections of a certain night last February to Helen Haner. Phyllis Hafner can add this, spoon to her collection of silverware. To Catherine Frey we give this orange to help her out with her diet. Tvola Hart should have had this little Ford about six months ago, but it is better late than never. Maybe Mae will be sick again and she can use it to go to visit him when she gets off duty late. To Edna Heckman we give: this cake of soap, not because she needs the soap but she should always keep her P. G. with her. Marjorie King will appreciate these nickels which will save her the trouble of hunting for change the next time she wants to call the boy-friend. . Here is a book of poems and jokes for Alta. Ice. They are a collection of her own works of art. This horn may not sound like the one Polly LaMon would like to hear, but she may hear him better if she gives him this one. VVe do not know if Martha Lindsey can read this book in German or not but maybe she can get help from a certain young man. The owl is a wise old bird, so weare giving one to Jerry Logan who is also quite wise.

V We all know how much Eleanor Mumford loved Children's so here is a dear little baby for her. Eva Mae Murray does not eat pickles but perhaps she can give it away, so we will give her one. n To Mildred Cheever we give this tablet engraved with these words: Do not close the Hymnals until the Amen has been sung. She may will it to Crary Chapel if she so desires. Tillie Neikirk is very fond of music so We will give her this piece entitled, I'll Get By. l45l

THE GLEAM Hamline cho-ir, and now she is able to display some of that musical ability be- fore the eyes of the appreciative public. T see a little kitchen in the Haines, four poorly clad little girls a.re seated on the bare floor of a little dark cellar room. A dignified la.dy is standing at the stove. It is Helen Phillips still working for the Associated Charities. She is trying to teach a mother to cook cereal for t.he starving family. That picture has so soon vanished, but another one comes before me ac- companied by words sailing out in all directions. HI am the advertising man- ager of the New York Life Insurance Company, and have come to you for your ad. Sure as I am living that is Mildred Sweet. The New York Life Insur- ance Co. having heard of her wonderful success in securing ads for the GTJEABT, has employed her as their Advertising Manager. Wlia.t can that great building be and who is seated at the desk? That must be a library and there is Catherine Frey seated with about. fifteen books before her. She is reading with great interest. The Rust Hall Faculty has employed her to censor all the books as soon as they leave tl1e press to see whether or not it is worth the valuable time of the incoming students to acquire the knowledge the new books afford. - Behold, T see Phil Boccardo standing at the door of the Italian Mission at Syracuse, New York. Before her are a group of boys and girls waiting for the clock to strike seven in order tha.t they may get in to hear Phil tell stories for them. Phil is now superintendent of t.hat Mission. A wide door opens before me and a host of boys and girls are trying eagerly to learn to read and write. Brown Culp seems to be the teacher of these Primary grades in the famous Mitchell School. The love for this school has grown so deep within her that she had to leave her Kindergarten and take up work with her home and friends. '4Her hair' like ebony glistens, her eyes are like twin stars. If it isn7t Gertrude Starr, the third Hoor pal to everyone. I see no church, no mission or settlement, but before me stands the dearest little bungalow with old fashioned shutters at the windows. To my great surprise, Gertrude is standing in the doorway. She is the mistress of this little abode-. The fire is going out and the faces have gone from before me. It is getting late in the night, but it has been areal treat to gaze once more into the faces of the members of the class of ' 30 if only in the flames of a great Open Fire. Q -ALTA Ion. i441

Hickey Schoppert is not hungry but this little bottle may come in handy, at least it will save Wear and tear on the thumb. Katherine Scott is quite famous for l1er remark, f'Girls, we have to wrap cotton, so we will give her a roll of cotton already wrapped. Hazel Shutters, bashful child that she is, blushes too readily so we are giving her this mask to hide her blushes. To Philomena Boccardo we give this megaphone to keep her from straining her delicate vocal cords. Frances Sheetz will enjoy this onion sandwich if she does not have a date. Tiny, we advise you to stay in tonight. ' Mary Schwenk, who has lost so much sleep by overworking, will be able to get a good night's rest on this bed.
