ex 3 Ll In conclusion, H.Vladame Lucille gave us the astounding but pleasing informa- tion that a class reunion was to be held on the 25th day of April in our dear old school town, East Point. On the 20th day of April We boarded a train bound for East Point. As the train went thundering on, a strange premonition of disaster took possession of us. Glancing out of the window We were overcome with astonishment at what we saw. Around a curve a bridge could be seen; something seemed to be out of commission. Simultaneously with our horrible discovery we heard the screeching 0f brakes, but all too lateethere was an awful crash, andellOf all things! Where am I? What has happened? Where are the other girls? . . . Of all places in the world for me to be! In my own living room in East Point.
