Lucy Hupp doing her best to convert a crowd of tiny heathens. Such patience was a credit to the class. Now I gazed into southern Italy. I saw a modern col¬ lege in Naples, and there was Jack Clegg presiding over a Domestic Science class. He seemed to enjoy the work as he explained to the class how to bake bread. What time will do! In the same city I could see on one of the bill boards that the celebrated American toe dancer, Miss Florence Pittman, and the wonderful skirt dancer, Ruth Johnson, would entertain in that city the rest of the week. How I wished that I could have seen them! As mere children they had been a wonder, and I felt sure that they would some day be famous. From sunny Italy the scene changed to Ireland. What was this I could see? A divorce court! There stood Mr. and Mrs. Ray Cook, Mr. Cook was applying for a divorce from his wife nee Alice Hardy. I wondered on what grounds; he swore that his wife who had become the great¬ est gymnast of the age, had persisted in practicing her exercises on him, The Judge decided that was sufficient cause for divorce. The next scene was in Scotland where John Gelino in his studio, was putting the finishing touches on his master¬ piece, ‘‘My Ideal.” I had always wondered what John’s ideal was, and now I know. The visions faded and the little fairy, with a bow and a wave of her wand, disappeared into the fountain. Gladys Jackson. PAGE TW ENTYONE junior Class Poem. We’ve studied and played and fought, (In about equal measure I fear!) And told the teachers just what we thot.; Thruout our Junior year. Our tasks have been many and hard, But the future we see is bright To each struggling Fresh we’ve been a pard, And treated the Seniors right. All hail to the Junior Class! We’re granted a glorious name And as thru the world we pass, We’ll gain men’s tribute-fame. R. R. Smith
