I would advise that our facility expert, Mr. Moller, turn his attention to the problem at once.” We were entertained next bv Miss Elsie Moller, who gave us two fine piano solos. Through the aid of her friends, she had established a Department of Music in the cabinet and held the position of Secretary. Her two assistants, Aloma Davis, and Elda Aasen, were also great musicians. Each favored us with a choice selection from opera. At the head of the Educational Bureau was a lady whose name was formerly Clara Axe. She seemed to receive aid from a certain individual who sat beside her at the meeting, and I needed no word from Nelda to tell me that he was her husband. There were several visitors at the meeting who had just returned from visits abroad. The President’s able secretary proceeded to point them out to me. Among them were Miss Audrey Strong, first ladv Ambassadoress to Venus, and the Hon. Arval Hazelwood, Minister of Foreign Affairs to Mars. Each one of these gave interesting talks on the subjects they were best acquainted with. Other visitors present were the Hon. A. G. Dodge, Justice of the Supreme Court; Prof. Mervin Vincet Moller, scientist and inventor, and Miss Lucile Harris, Superintendent of the Federal Business Schools. The vice-president was not present at the meeting. On inquiry, I found that she, Miss F'ayma Arant, was a candidate for president at the next general election ard so did not wish to be mixed into the politics of the nation until that time. The two members who arrived late were the Secretary of Navy, Mr. Thomas Forrest, and the Secretary of War, Mr. Earl Clark. Both of theve gave excellent reports of what their departments were doing. Mr. Edward Bender, Secretary of the Interior, gave a talk concerning the new world as compared with the old. Mr. Bender’s talk came from his own experience, and, while profound and intellectual, was nevertheless very interesting to me. The day’s addresses were closed by a short lecture by Miss Vera Johnston, who, it seemed, was the head of the Department of Botanical Research, and who displayed many specimens she had collected in Venus and Mars which were strange indeed to me. At the conclusion of Miss Johnston’s address. President Mast arose and raising his gavel, pronounced the meeting adjourned. As the gavel sounded the strange new world in which I had found myself faded, and I found myself again in my old study. Morning had dawned, a new day had begun, and the new world was a dream. It was again 1925—but who knows what there may be in dreams? For my part I am looking forward to that class reunion in 1950. —Verna Hart. Page Fifteen
