Our expectations were verified in the form of Ruben Landsman's face. Ah Ha-a-a-a. The strong and husky br-r-rute. Cave- man. We felt our biceps enviously. Soon many couples began to enter and among them we noticed together Mr. Marra and Miss Malpede, Mr. Meyer Goldberg and Miss Libofsky, Mr. Geller and Miss Geskins, and Mr. Ziman and Miss Ostro- vitz! Oh did they look gorgeous and how I craved to be there for just one little dance. In a lit of anger I gave the beam a fierce turn and suddenly it stopped. Looking into it we noticed a beautiful car rolling down a boulevard and in it, the fountain revealed to us, were seated our friends Eva Fine and I-Iymen Cohen. At the wheel was Max Taitz and beside him sat Mr. Harelich. Another car was trailing behind and in that was seated Jeanette Hirsch and Sam Jastromb, who was driving the car, and in the rear Mr. Rabinovitz and Miss Ostretsky. As the day was quite warm and from the baskets on the side of the car we could guess that they were heading for some place outside the city to spend the day. Soon we heard a burring in the air and sweeping the air with the light we saw an airplane traveling at the rate of about two hundred miles an hour. In it, as the fountain revealed to us, was seated Herman Weinberg, Sam Rosenberg, and slim Sloan. We also noticed a minister standing in it and something told us that nuptial rights were going on. Lo! to our surprise we saw Sam Mason and Sylvia,Lieberman being married. Now why in an airplane? I asked. Uh, said the guide, it is the belief of Sam that if he has an ethereal marriage he'l1 becomd a more prosperous astronomer in his future days. Suddenly the light was turned off and we felt ourselves slowly sinking into oblivion. The shining figure beside us vanished and we were asleep. How long we slept we know not, but we suddenly awoke and found ourselvesback in the old place with the guide by our side, the light of the beam shining, and the Fountain of Youth bubbling. Ive started to speak, but our guide put her hand to her lips and shook her head silently. VVe had to be satisfied with that. ' This time she directed the beam herself and soon it struck upon a beautiful marble edifice upon which was written in golden script Medill University . The powerful light penetrated the building and the guide informed us that a banquet was being held in one of the large halls of the school. All the Medill Alumni had come together for one great Reunion. At the head of the table sat Mr. Hall and about him the faculty. The hall was beautifully decorated and the toastmaster called on Mr. Hall to give his phase in adding to the merriment. As he did so we looked and wondered and suddenly with a great abruptness the scene around us vanished and we awakened to find ourselves in the big dark room raising our heads from the sea of imagination into which we had willingly dined.

It had revealed to our eyes a huge sign labeled Bard's Pharmacentrical Com- pany, Inc. Wfe looked into the building to which the sign was attached and beheld a fat wealthy man sitting at a desk labeled President. VVe took a guess at the man's identity which the Fountain of Youth certified as being Max Bard, himself. He was talking earnestly to two men whom our fountain told us were Max Shapiro and Bill Parilli,'who had joined to form the greatest advertising agency in the U. S. The conversation, it appeared, was concerned with advertising of Bard's famous medicine, the Bard-all-Healer designed to cure colds, headaches, neurology, arteriosclerosis, and a group of other plants which affected Mankind, From China to Peru . Truly a wonderful medicine. Bard was well fitted to become a leader of mankind. VVhy look at the price at which he offered his all healer. Ten cents for 5 oz. and designed to heal your troubles more quickly than any other medicine on earth. It could put a person in the grave so fast that he would never know how sick he had been. A very quick healer. Imagine, ten cents. Sam Pickman suddenly appeared in the office, as revealed to us by our fountain. He, our guide informed us was the person to whom mankind owed this Won derful cure. We looked at him with awe. A majestic figure, destined to remain long in the memory of his fellow-men. On top ,of Bardls office was that of Dr. Lois Wine, Greatest Surgeon in the VVorld. A circus next caught our attention. The whole audinece was watching the antics ofa clown who was in the center of the sawdust ring. They would suddenly burst out laughing and then watch interestedly. I declare that we never did see such contortions and antics. A partner, slightly taller was working with him. They soon finished and vanished in a roar of applause. Then we found ourselves applauding with the audience. W'e followed them to the dressing room and under the grease and paint appeared the faces of Bernard Schoenburg and Oscar Bloom. Not for nothing were they paid the highest salaries in Ringling Brothers great circus which was then owned by Max Wolfson and Louis Tarson. WVe switched the beam around till we saw a building with rather vague outlines. The light of the beam increased in intensity, and a veritable fairy palace was re- vealed to our sight. The penetrating light disclosed a ball room. But such a ballroom. As huge as the heavens, with a blue canopy studded with artificial stars overhead. A wonderful orchestra, a floor made of glass. W'ho ownsthis magnificent place? we asked the guide. He pointed to the Fountain by our side. In it was revealed the face of Irving Roth. From looking for a prom hall for our graduating class, to the ownership of the largest and most beautiful dance hall in the world. Certainly a significant ascent. VVe saw a man walking about the floor looking around carefully. He was of a huge size, but wonderfully proportioned. A 'couple was observed dancing in a disorderly manner on the floor. Our strong man was Johnny in-the-Spot and put them out. So, we said to ourselves. He's a bouncer. VVe thought the matter over carefully, but could think of none of our former acquaintances who had had any leanings in that direction, but Wait-and we both 'turned to the fountain Page 56' - fs Q ,ml .
