I see now a dear little cottage where happiness reigns.’ “Then the wheel stopped and the sccrcss motioned me to her. ‘Listen, the successor of Galli-Curci.’ I recognized the voice of Ariel Bassett who formerly had so often sweetened our days with her golden voice. “It took a long time for the wheel to start; then I heard the low voice again, ‘Harold Myhra, who is an eminent lawyer and a wit of the New York clubs, has just given his first campaign speech by radio.’ I wanted to shout, ‘Mike for President!’ “It was then that the room began to get light, and 1 had to listen closely to catch the words, ‘Arnold Bjornson, the ablest thinker of the day’ “Ces”, who in his early days at Science showed a desire to be the Conductor on the Mentality Line. “In the lightened room my face showed the disappointment I felt, for there were other classmates that I was eager to leran about. Then a hand drew back a curtain, revealing five tiny stars. As I looked, the first slowly unfolded and I read: ‘Gerald Smith, “Arch,” His unruffled amiability is characterized by his profound ambition to be always accessible to manly aspirations. His philanthropic works arc known throughout the land, and his name brings happiness to many homes.’ “The second star unfolded. Under this sign I saw Dorothy Sprung, honored for her intellectual ability and inspiring all her listeners with her remarkable genius as a pianist. “The next star opened with a quick movement and in startling newspaper headlines 1 saw, ‘Coach Ness produces a Winning Team. Harvard Defeats Yale.’ “The fourth star opened unusually bright and luminous. ‘What’s this,’ I cried. ‘A Who’s Who, surely.’ Twas none other than “Sunny” La Mae, our La Mac Rcckcrt. I saw a vision of romance in distant and exotic climes, of struggle and conquest, of unwavering faith ’midst terrible adversity, and, finally of love and happiness in a far away corner of the world. ‘But whose who is she now?’ I asked: but the vision passed. “1 waited impatiently for the last star to unfold, wondering what Fate held for Bill, who, though of diminutive proportions, because of his roguish nature was by no means unnoticed.

His brilliancy and wit have made him the most popular man in New York’s “Four Hundred.” “The last star folded, and I thought, ‘Surely our Alma Mater has cause to be proud of the class of ’25.’” HI i d PACE TWENTY-ONE

 =5 r fhe AG A WAS I E THE SENIORS OF ’23 Past, Present, and Future UK Senior Class of 23 is the largest that has been graduated from the Junior College Department of the Sift tc School of Science. This class feels proud not only of its quantity but also of its quality, for the ten members have participated in all activities of the school during their two years’ work. At the beginning of the year, when the stern voice of Duty called us back to school, the first call was for football men. Three of our Senior boys won places on the squad and worked hard throughout the season. In basketball our class was equally loyal and again three of our members supported Coach Barnard and his winning team. Two of our girls, equally willing in spirit, enthusiastically went in for basketball; but, although the spirit was willing, the flesh was weak, and they confined their support to the side lines. The Class entered with equal zeal into musical and literary circles. Several of our Class were members of the orchestra and two of our girls have many times entertained all with their delightful piano and vocal solos. The Literary Club of ’22 had many successful entertainments under thcguidancc of one of the members of this Class. This ycarou social affairs have been few but “Peppy” and Harold has become the claimant for high honors as a Swedish comedian. In these affairs the girls displayed their culinary art rather than any literary accomplishments. With all these activities scholarship has not been neglected. It is true that, in order to do this, we have many times “burned the midnight oil and “crammed” for that final. W’c have in our Class twoof the most brilliant students in the college department. At the Penny Carnival of 'll one of the smallest members was drawn into the mystic realm of the unknown spirits. She tells the story thus: “Finally I prevailed upon this sccrcss to lend her aid in foretelling the destiny of this Class of ten, for whom Fate’s horoscope indicates a brilliant future. “As she went into a deep trance the room became darker, and all objects became indistinguishable, except a shining wheel of silver and black. As this wheel slowly began to turn, a strange voice was heard. I was able to catch these words: “ ‘Paul W’iig, “Doc,” is an eminent biologist and lias been given the highest honors in the scientific world. I also sec a beautiful girl approaching, but the vision fades.’ “ ‘Julia Squires, our jewel, who, before she graced our Alma Mater with her presence, was known as the “Lady of Many Kes- rj i i i PA°K TWENTY
