um TIIE TECH REVIEW 53 BV Helen E. Kinnecom, '30. Bang! Crash! I was suddenly roused from my reverie by the sudden realization that something had happened. I slid the controls forward, and nosed my plane earthward. When at last I sighted what I thought to be a good landing place, I made a fairly good landing considering limita- tions, and then crawled out of the cockpit to look about me. At first I could see nothing, but in a moment I spied another plane which was trying to land beside mine. As soon as it had fairly stopped I ran over and inquired breathlessly what had hap- pened. To my great relief the pilot assured me that I had done no harm in bumping her plane, so we laughed and passed it off as a joke. “I’m awfully sorry though,” said my companion, but I really didn’t see you until I hit you.” Well, I guess it really was my fault, I admitted rather shamefacedly, “because I wasn’t thinking about where I was going at all. I was dreaming of the old days when I used to go to l ech, ’way back in 1930, and—” Here I was interrupted by an ejaculation from my companion. You used to go to lech! What class were you in?” Why the class of January, 1930, I answered. The other pilot at this point solemnly removed her helmet and goggles, and to my utter amazement I beheld my old class- mate, Grace Cripps. At first I could not resign myself to the miracle of timid little Grace Cripps driving an aeroplane, but when she informed me that she was start- ing on her fourth trans-Atlantic flight the next week, I began to get reconciled to the fact, and we were sitting on an old stump talking merrily of olden times when Jessie MacKinnon suddenly climbed out of the rear cockpit, adjusted her lorgnette, and in a lazy drawl inquired if anything had hap- pened. She was delighted to see another of her old classmates and after being as- sured that everything was all right we set- tled down to a cosy chat. Jessie explained that she was married to F. Scott Fitzgerald, the famous author, and that they were residing temporarily at the Biltmore Hotel during a reception tendered her husband by the city of Providence. She said that Carlie Kotler and Jeanne Bercovitz had an exclusive style shop on Fifth Avenue in which Esther Grande and Theresa Ciam- percero were employed as mannequins. Grace supplied the information that Rus- sell Vernet was a Professor of Greek at Yale University, and this reminded me that I had heard just last week that Howard Umstead and Charlie Whittaker had beaten the world’s record for flagpole sitting by nineteen days.
