FUTURE If anyone should walk into the Maumee Valley Country Day School on May fifteenth in the year nineteen fifty-four, he would find eight women, the class of nineteen forty-four, stand- ing in a group, chatting busily on everything from domestic affairs to bridge hands. They have come for the annual Smead School Asso- ciation luncheon, which is being held in the newly opened glass dining room of Stork Hall. Soon they go to their tables. Seated at the nineteen forty-four table are Mrs. Algernon Swinnerton Abercrombie, the former Mrs. Har- rison Adams, the former Mrs. Clem Iones, nee Betty Iay, just returned from Renop Mrs. William Pettibone, formerly Sue Stone and her guest from New York, Mrs. Randy Randolph fEliza- beth Morrislp Mrs. Iames Whitney iMarilyn Beid- lerlz Mrs. Ronald Butler from Louisville, Ken- tucky tMary Hunter Iohnstonly Mrs. Iohn Smith- ers iNancy Walll. At the speakers' table is the president of the Association, Mrs. Frazier Brooks fLuette Goodbodyl and at her left is Lady Maxin Fortesque Mount Blanc tMartha Wolfe? wearing her fabulous white mink coat. Lady Mount Blanc is here from London to speak on the pro- gress in European reconstruction. Mrs. Brooks has just thrown over the back of her chair the plaid reversible which, as a faithful B.O.N.D., she has worn ever since her school days. Back Whitney familiar at the nineteen forty-four table, Mrs. is talking about the week-end sail PERFECT which she has planned in honor of the three visitors on her largest yacht, Cherokee, in which she has won first place in several deep water races. Mrs. Smithers has just returned from the telephone, looking highly upset, for the neigh- bor across the street with whom she has left Iohn Ir. has dropped him on his head from the helicopter. The city said they would repair the dent in the side-walk, but nevertheless Mrs. Smithers fears that she will not be able to go south to spend the summer with Mrs. Butler while the boys are at camp. Mrs. Randolph toys with her chicken salad, realizing that she is playing in the tennis matches this afternoon. In honor of this famous champion, Mrs. Petti- bone will entertain at a cocktail party after the International Championship tennis matches which will be held at her estate, If You Please . By this time Mrs. Brooks has called the meeting to order and all are attentively listen- ing to an estimate for the building of a senior cabin. As the business discussion goes on, Mrs. Brooks glances at her watch and abruptly calls the meeting to a close, for she will leave this afternoon for Lake Placid,where she will prac- tice for the forthcoming National Amateur Figure Skating Championship. The luncheon adjourns and the rest of the class of '44 seize their maroon blazers and are off in the big or- ange bus, which is now running on the rims. to the tennis tournament. lsn't imagination wonderful? 28
