In order that they 532:13 J: .fl 1 'I K might have some way of overcoming Igno- S i rance, they organized themselves into a J' body known as freshmen with Fred Beaty 5 L,1l,l,,gf and Charles Kemp as leaders for the year.

By earnest and steady work they hn- ,,i rig.-Y ally won the respect of the other inhabi- LNKET5 T- tants of this land, and under their junior leaders, james Burris and George Schenk, they were known as the most feared op- ponents of Ignorance. In this year their ability was fully recognized. Fin-ally, after much persistent effort, their goal was in sight. The four years were closing and the seniors, led by Charles Kemp, waited for their ship. At last it came, and the captain, looking over the gay crowd, asked what they had accomplished during his absence. Their leader stepped forth and said with a clear, ringing voice: XYe have among our group, scholars. drainatists and musicians. XVe have given worthy contributions to the school paper and to the 'fGolden Key . XVe have in our class noteworthy athletes. XYe have upheld the tradition and honor of this city of School. And , he said with much pride, we have demolished the phantom, Ignorance. The captain, satisfied with the report, ordered the gangplank, 'fGradu- ation , lowered and when our seniors had passed slowly over it, the ship, Education, started on its journey over the sea of life.

TVVENTY-FIVE YEARS I-IENCE I had just flown over from New York to do some shopping in Paris, and when I had landed my airplane on top of one of the buildings and descended, I observed a beautiful blonde regarding me intently. Her face was quite familiar, but I could not place her. Finally she came over to me and said. Don't you recognize me? At the sound of her voice I started. 'AYhy, Leona Strayhorn, but- , Ssh! Hydrogen peroxide. Isn't it marvelous?'l I assented mutely. IYe decided to go shopping together, and while passing along the boulevard we noticed a most charming dress shop. On entering. we found the proprietor to be none other than jack Cunningham. His latest creation was frocks made of calico, and because ,lack was selling these dresses, the ladies were wild about the At noon we had lunch waiting for our order, we looked quite familiar and p Pack and Agnes Hagan.

I turned and gazed XYhen Dale recognized me, he dropped his cute little French accent and told me that the Americans preferred French proprietors to Americans. so that explained his Frenchiness. He asked for some interesting news about Edrie XYillebrandt and Francis Cannon. I told him that Francis had become President, had granted independence to the Filipinos and increased the tariff on oil which is flowing most plentifully in our own wells. Under his administration, the farmer at last has gained relief. The Statue of Liberty's nose had begun to peel, so Edrie and Mar- jory Kiefer had been given the honor of repainting it. After lunch we strolled on, taking in the sights. On one of the corners we found Paul Behnke making an honest living as a blind beggar. lYe heard some music and followed the sound to see what it was. It proved to be the Salvation Army, led by Captain Robert Karnes. The band was composed of Alex Orozco, playing the jew's-harp, Marcelina Uribe, the saxophone. and Grover Hill. the sousaphone. On the opposite corner was a peanut vender who proved to be Don llallamore. He was bribing the crowd which followed the Salvation Army with peanuts. After these interesting two hours, Leona suggested that I go home with her and she would tell me what she knew of our other former com- rades. On the way home we noticed a group of people gathered around a soap-box orator who was crying savagely, 'tDown with the Government! On to Russia! Looking closer, we recognized Mava McGee: she had always been very radical. Near one of the busy boulevards we saw a man who looked very fa- Pa ge Twenty- Eve
