to board a car and rest myself in some quiet theatre. However, scarcely had I entered the car when a cheery voice informed me that I surely should have that ride free since I was an old friend of his. Looking to see the conductor, whom should it be but Nathan Williams. Arriving at the theatre and scanning the program I found that it offered a special feature, the extremely popular Twirling Twins, professional solo dancers of Broadway fame, in private life the twins are Ruth and Louise Gal- lagher. Their entertainment was decidedly pleasing, and it was with much reluctancethat I left the theatre. I felt somewhat rested: but thinking a facial massage would be refreshing I stopped at the Beauty Parlor as was my custom. However, I was not greeted by the usual lady attendant. Instead, coming toward me with a warm reassuring smile was a woman of woncmmus beauty. I felt like embracing her when I saw it was Grace Colwell, who was widely known as Madam Gracia. So numerous were her duties that I couldn't impose on her for more time to visit. In my haste for a car I fell. as I stef-ned from the curb, striking my head against the step. I knew nothing from then until I looked up into the face of the kindly physician. I had suffered a slight fracture of the skull, and had been taken to the hospital. I heard a nurse address the physician as Dr, Ira, upon questioning her, she told me that it was Dr. Ira Reimold, the leading surgeon of the institution. Upon the table near me was a variety of reading material. The nurse brought me one of the books one day and urgently requested me to read it. She told me how it was the talk of the hour, and how the author fwho by the way was Velma Watsonj, had become rich over night be- cause of the success of that one book, the title of which is Flourishing Flappersf' The nurse then informed me that one person in the position of Superintendent of Schools created quite a sensation making a public speech denouncing the book. His picture was in the evening paper and upon look- dng at it, I didn't need to be told that it was Frederick Edwards, another graduate of M. H. S. in 1923. In. the same paper I read the following head lines. Senators Rozelle and McHugh made effective speeches before the Senate. Having thus seen all my classmates in their future professions and vocations, I was wondering what could possibly happen to me. Just then I experienced an unearthly jar and jolt, I felt myself being shaken and I heard Auntie's voice calling me. Our steamer had entered the port and we were ready to land. I had fallen asleep and this was my dream q Louise Weller. I VIIQQBP- f I i Page Tlurty 41
