102 QIIZUITTIS UflKUtI1'llJk2 l9l7 A Dream Faculty Meeting at R. H. S. T is the day for the Faculty meeting and Mr. McQuilkin is sitting at the desk in the conference room with his hair neatly slickedback, puffing on a cigarette and looking over the Faculty roll. Mr. Turner comes in with a prize-fighter swagger, slams his hat down on the table, clears his throat and sits down. l-le remarks to Mr. McQuilkin in his rumbling voice: 6'Well, l guess I have got to stay in this place about an hour, nowf' About this time Miss Board saunters into the room, clad in a green smock, with two beauty spots on her cheek and long earrings dangling from her dainty ears. She is closely followed by Miss Critz, who is chewing gum in perfect time with her steps. Sitting down she turns to Miss Board and taking her in with one glance, remarks: ' Gee, kid! .You are dolled up for fair to-day. Where'd y'u ,get the classy ear weights? Miss Board responds, UAW! come on, fifty-fifty with the gum. They are interrupted by Mr. Phelps hurrying in with a bright red necktie on and accompanied by Mr. Layman, who walks very stately, and perceiving Miss Board, lets out a long, low, exclamatory whistle and seats himself. The debonair Misses Lovelace, Carlisle and Jennings enter the room to- gether, all showing that they are growing fatter every day, The next to enter is Miss Hayward, looking strong and husky as ever. Then Mr. Parsons walks in with Miss Mabry, to whom he is talking very interestedly. After Mr. Beale comes in, arm-in-arm with Miss Johnston and Miss Funkhouser, Mr. McQuilkin rises, shoots his cigarette across the room, and calls the meeting to order. About five minutes later Miss Board and Miss Critz finish their conversation and Mr. McQuilkin calls out the name of Earl l-lornbarger. - Mr. Phelps, talking exceedingly fast, remarks, I have nothing against Earl l-lornbargerf' Nor I, from Miss Board. Nor I, from Miss Critz.
