I am getting forgetful, to say the least. I must go down to the capital and watch the ceremonies. VVhyl XVhat,s this? Oh, how delightful! An invitation to the inaugural ball and banquet this evening. , I surely must go, as this is to be a combination dance, banquet, and class reunion. James! My runabout, please! CThree minutes elapse.j VVhat a familiar face the President-elect has! NVhy, I know-that is Donald VVhite, class president of ,2Q. That tour of Europe caused me to forget almost entirely the affairs of my country. And only yesterday I was informed at the airdrome when I arrived that Mr. White, the President-elect, was due at any time. I later learned that traveling with Mr. White besides his family were several scientists, a doctor, and a writer. This latter I learned was Mrs. .lack Dougherty, formerly Elizabeth Lauerman, who for pleasure's sake was writing. Her latest book, With the Pilot Across the Sea , has just been published. We all knew Elizabeth would be an author some day. From the President's stand my gaze shifted to a small unfamiliar structure. Gn further examination I found it to be a broadcasting station where, in spite of his great scientific record in Chemistry, I detected Ed Guay announcing for poor unfortunates who were unable to come. Great things were always expected of Edward, and now they have been accomplished. In order to avoid the monotony that could become prevalent in the narration of an inauguration, I will just state that Chief Justice Eleanor Ryan administered the oath of office to President VVhite, while the Vice-President was sworn in by retiring Vice-President Joseph LaPinske. After prayers were offered by the chaplain, Reverend Father Clement Yuenger Qthe first Catholic Chaplain, by the wayj, Congress was called to order. The session of Congress was directly followed by a delightful luncheon for President VVhite, his family, and a few chosen friends. This luncheon was prepared and served under the direction of Miss Mildred Sliger, a degree graduate of Margaret McIntyre,s Catering College. The next-well, I really cannot say surprise, even though it was a surprise- was the immense parade. To my satisfaction nearly all the members of the class were participants holding prominent places. The first unit of note was the United States Marine Band, directed by Melvin Stang. VVe wish you success, Melvin. A few delegations passed when lo, and behold, Governor Rockett of Wisconsin fthe same old Hunsj, and his companions, Raymond Yunk, one of the foremost characters in Grand Opera this season, and Paul Ravet, president of the National League of University Presidents, were next in line. ' My eyes were again focused on the reviewing stand where in the foreign ministers' column I beheld Earl Hulbert, the minister to Russia, who had flown from that place in one day fanother record smashed!! for the purpose of seeing his friend inaugurated. I hope we meet at the inaugural ball this evening. This 'I Fo1'ty-four!

Regina is John's assistant in all his great practices, and has been for the last ten years. When we were Seniors john was going to be a lawyer. How minds will change! Regina is living up to her old threat-to be a useful old maid . But to return to the parade. The first feature I noticed was a band of Red Cross nurses. I later discovered that the head of this organization was Lucille Peterson. In my musings, I almost missed the entire parade, but two delegations remain. The first was from Iowa. Beside the Governor sits a sweet little lady- his wife-none other than Anne McCue, who by her sweet contralto voice has entertained kings and queens innumerable. She is to sing at the banquet this evening. What a pleasure! Last but not least was the Michigan delegation. A popular governor, but who would have thought way back when that modest shy little Irene Brault would reach such a pinnacle in such a line. What a marvelous class we are! But the day is not yet ended. Such a day! Such a night! Can you blame a man for not acting right? What a banquet! What a reunion! The toasmaster, Clarence Goluecke, toasted President White and the class of ,2Q, who were all present except Ruth McCrory and Lillian Kuchenberg, who had chosen the better part and were serving as Mother Superior and Assistant Mother Superior in the Academy of Our Lady, Longwood, Chicago. Through the courtesy of the Radiovision Corporation they, too, were able to attend, if only in spirit. Immediately following the banquet, the entire party sojourned to the scene of the ball. The decorations were carried out in blue and gold. The scheme orig- inated in the minds of Mary I-lirton, Professor of Physics in Trinity College, and Florence Doran and Annamae Doyle, still chums, and both happily married to prominent Vlfashington business men. Last to add to my exultation I met Irene Josephson and Hazel Mayer, who were both succeeding in the stenographical field by doing secretarial work in the Capitol. We all danced until we could dance no longer, and what a surprise waited us at the end of that grand and glorious perfect day. President White invited the entire class to dinner the next evening, and all were there. And, now that the future of our class has been disclosed, may God bless them and speed them on life's journey.
