Frieda Cohen and Ernestine I-lopgood chose the better part, What is that? Why, to be the queen of one man's heart. Eva Brotman chose also this part-she is the wife of an old sweetheart. Beaulah Reznick, now governor of her State, always knew that she was born for such a fate. Tina Heckman, wise and kind, with her sweet smile can bewitch the strongest mind.

That night we all went to a show, and saw on the stage from the first row, A play Sylvia Liebovitz did compose, to fame and fortune she then arose. The play was starring Helen Malicki, looking so fair, and soberly shy. l Of beauties many were on the stage, but only three were quite the rage. Sarah Holtvman, Rose Brylanski, Dorothy Coleman were the lucky misses Who were showered with flowers and flying kisses. Frances Cosentino, not without fights, had proved to the world Italian rights.

I had lain there, say a moment, in that slumber, calm and sweet, When I rose, refreshed and strengthened, and stepped out upon the street. But I very soon discovered that I knew not this strange place, I saw not one known figure, nor one familiar face. I could scarce believe my mind when I saw an airplane line, It bore the well-known name Medill,', gleaming from each sign. And my eyes were opened wider than they'd ever been before, When I saw a slip of paper dated I944,,. W'hile I puzzled o'er this problem, staring 'round with open eyes, Looking for some one to question of the marvelous surprise. I beheld near by a lady coming on with footsteps slow, And thought I would inquire of her that which I wished to know. As she came a little nearer, I thought I knew her face, Yet I couldn't put it in exactly its right place. But at last she stood before me and all wonder vanished quite- 'Twas our old chum, Elsie Flayer, and I hugged her with delight. It was strange that I should know her for the change in her was greatg She was very tall and slender and she moved with queenly gait. She, quite surprised to see me, said I had been long away And gave me an invitation to remain with her that day. Her kind offer I accepted, and she hailed an aero car Which we boarded, flying swiftly through the air-so high and far. The conductor I watched closely-'twas Sophie Singer, short and stout, Fully able to assist us, not only in but also out. As she took our fare, she knew usg and stood pointing out strange sights Friend De Maiot thus had proven her belief in VVoman's Rights. In the car a dude was sitting, toying with a poodle small. Vilhy, ,twas Dan Fasano! I scarcely would have known the man at all. Soon we flitted past a corner that looked like old times to me, For it was the well-known corner where our High School used to be. Now the place was changed, alas! There a factory, twenty stories high, And I noticed a small fish stand as I was passing by. And behind thc greasy counter stood a man I knew at sight, Yes, it was Sam Wolfson, shouting Fish! with all his might. I looked at him in wonder for who ever would have thought That our brilliant soccer player could be brought to such a nought. But the whole day brought surprises, Pauline Kaplan, Bessie Aryeff co-starring on the stage. Our own bright Sidney Breakstone, a preacher-quite the rage. Florence Citron, Esther Steinberg, doing stunts of lithesome grace Sarah Bernstein, Cecelia Fischer in the opera singers' race.

And visited our Elsie's abode where she lives in an up-to-date mode. Being very tired and sleepy I felt that it was best To withdraw myself for an hour or two of rest. I slept long and soundly, and imagine my surprise After my hour of slumber when I opened my drowsy eyes. I found myself in the cottage I had lived in long ago Where I started out that morning on that curious quest to go. I sprang up, looked out the window, it was the same old town In which, in what seemed years ago, I had lain down. But the dream had been so life-like that I could not feel That the vision I had witnessed, could be otherwise than real. So you see, dear friends and classmates, 'twas nothing but a dream However natural to you it may seem. But in this old world of wonders, dreams have often times come true So, who knows but that my vision may be realized by you!
