Iggy? ' t 1951 r: , . - p . . 1 I see a band of children singing. Wyman with Morrison at the piano teaching Fol- low the Gleam to a band of African head hunters in darkest Africa. They look rather happy in their fig leaves. Jessie Griffin is parading around in Patou's frocks on Fifth Ave., Paris. They pay her 52.00 an hour to lift her eyebrows. I see two girls with fair hair. They are Pirkko and Irja. What are they doing? Head- ing student government in the Figi islands. Grass skirts will not be worn from now on. Bread fruit leaves are substituted. I see a plodding figure among ruins. Barbara Tuthill returning to Sargent to hunt for her Elephant hook. She has an Elephant farm out in California and trains her tiny dears for Camera c'loseups. She is owner of the famous gargling Elephant. Honor Thompson hofiing around before the Sultan of Turkey. The scene shifts to Ireland. There sits O'Connell amid the Shamrock teaching folk dances and kissing the blarney stone frantically between times. We see a bridge being constructed across the harbor to Lynn. Architects Furano and Kichline. They were the ones who vetoed the bill for more ferry-boats. I see Lou Richardson in a home for the feeble minded. Running an Adding machine furiously. It seems since keeping track of Student Government Money she's been that way and she began to have hallucinations. They keep her securely under lock and key. I smell the Arena Sawdust and watch Betsy Huck, Lillian Zilg and Betty Hatfield swinging away and turning somersaults. One of them is a Professor and gets absent minded sometimes but-in the end-they fall together. I see Edna Donnelly head of a factory for manufacturing chains automatically on to glasses. No danger of loss by the Donnelly method. And here is Ruth Burgess running a school and teaching as a professor, a course en- titled, Methods of Tardinessf' The crystal ball shows an intrepid third baseman in your ranks. Helene Breivogal is known as the only Woman Baseball player admitted on the Giant team in New York. Tzvete Doonin has been a long time on the diplomatic service of Bulgaria. Pearl Eskridge is now leader of a large Church in Alabama. She is interested in the social end and has recently written a book on How to Handle Twins in two volumes. Peggy Ladd is building steam heated tigloos up in Alaska and as an extra curricular activity is teaching Physical Education. ' Irene Ford is a director of Physical Education at Tuskeegee. Rebecca Malkin is now editing Pathe News. Robena Senior is an Actress of note and is known from Coast to coast. Lilian Zilg is in Germany now heading a society for the Prevention of Cruelty to People With Bad Posture. Natalie Woods is Dean of the Domes-tic School for domestics teaching Domestic Science.
