Marj. Lowman, always a lover of fresh air, whose arena was well equipped with tanks of ozone which discharged automatically volumes of fresh air every half minute. Here the interesting document ended, and I fell To Oakhurst and the memories Of the schoolgirl days we've spent Within her sacred walls, Gaining knowledge as we went, Unfailingly our eyes shall turn, Be we east or west, And to win for Oakhurst glory Shall be the Fourteents quest. 21 into deep meditation over what I had read. When I looked up again. the wonderful cave had disappeared, and I found myself once more in my cozy chair at home, with my history book in my hand. CLASS PROPHET - HELEN PAYNE. Let Oakhurst and her memories Be with every Senior true, Like the glories of a J une morn With the grass all wet with dew, And the sun of knowledge rising, Like a great. red ball of flame, And shouts ringing through the ages, Oakhurst! Honor, Glory, Fame! K. S.. 1914.

famous dancer was appearing who was creating quite a furor. Much to their surprise, the danseuse proved to be none other than their old friend, Helen. After witnessing her wonderful interpretation of the tem- sichorean art, they awaited their friend in the lobby, and all three adjourned to an attractive tea room which they understood was in charge of a Vassar graduate. There, gliding about the rooms to see that her patrons were well cared for, was the charming Hannah, who had graduated from Vassar with high honors in Domestic Science. In the midst of their delicious repast a great commotion was heard from without. In rushing to the door, the first words that greeted their ears were, iiWhy should not women vote? Lo and behold! there stood Sarah, standing on a soap box addressing an eager, shouting multi- tude, and wearing the royal yellow and white. Again and again we heard that silver voice demand, Why should not women vote '2 After assisting in the vociferous applause, our trio hurried on to catch the train for West Point, where their play was booked for the following night. Upon their arrival, as they were being driven to their hotel, they passed a beautiful home, on the piazza of which was seated a handsome young officer and his wife. Our friends were attracted first by the number of dachshunds gamboling about on the lawn. Upon further observation we found it was none other than our old friend, Kitty Hauck, who had realized her fondest hope and was living in West Point. She had visiting her Miss Susan Semple, who had joined the galaxy of rosebuds soon after graduating, and during 20 her visit with Kitty was slowly but surely causing many heartaches among the gay and debonair West Pointers. After leaving West Point, the travelers' next stop was Boston. As they had many hours of leisure in that delightful, historical spot, they planned to view some of the points of interest. There was pointed out to them a young ladies seminary con- ducted by Miss Katharine Pratt, who had gained world-wide fame by discovering the fourth dimen- sion. With her was one of her old classmates whom the noted psychologists had under observation, try- ing to discover how many words it was possible for a human being to say in a second. It was none other than 'iWindy Sherrill, whose rapidity of speech was the envy of auctioneers and book agents. Later in the day, while shopping, they ran into Laura, who had arrived at fame and fortune by the invention of the celebrated isGraham Instantaneous Hair Curlers. Their next booking was at Oxford, that delightful little Ohio college town of which their old friend, Prissy, always so loyal to Oxford, was the registrar. From Oxford they went to their school town, Cin- cinnati, where the week was spent in renewing old friendships. One of the first to greet them was their dear Kitty Ernst, who was very charming in her latest Parisian togs. Kitty was happily married, and was mistress of a home noted for its art treasures, which had been collected in many tours of the world.
