he was just returning to his prosperous farm in Bacon Hill from the Nation- al Grange Convention at St. Louis. Ralph told me that Arthur Hunter had become a regular skinflint, and held mortgages on nearly all the land in and around Fort Miller. Elwaine Booth was also a prosperous farmer. John Hamm was proprietor of a store, in addition to being the best fisherman in Grangerville. Marion Coonrad had taken unto herself a husband, and together they were demonstrating the value of pure foods to a large audience. As we would not reach New York until 10:30, Ralph wanted to take a nap; so I centered my attention elsewhere. A very, very confident looking man was making his way down the aisle after a complaint to the stewardess about the poor service. In a flash I recognized him as Glenn Varney. I grabbed his coat sleeve and said, “Hi Glenn!” Mr. Varney shouted, “Such impertinence!” Then he recognized me and said, “Oh, you’re that Stevens fellow, who tried to be a comedian.” I assented and asked what he was trying to be and remarked that none of the gang had heard from him for a long time. Glenn then informed me that he was private secretary to Jean Harlow and that his job occupied most of his time. I inquired for “Pete” Sherman, and Glenn said he had just received a card from South America where Mr. Sherman was starting his first major engineering job. He was making a honeymoon of the trip, and the lucky girl was Margaret Coffinger. I opened my paper to the comic section and read Elmer Gravelle’s ad- venture series. Then I glanced over the front page «'here I saw that J. B. McLindon, the playboy, was suing John Peters, who wrote a column in the Daily Mirror, for libel. Mr. Peters was being defended by a woman lawyer, Marjorie Mathis. I turned to the sport’s page where I saw that Albert Charron bad signed a contract with the Boston Bruins to swing a hockey stick for the modest sum of $25,000 for the coming year. The next thing I knew we had landed in Newark, N. J. I crossed the river to New York bv ferry boat, captained by the great sailor William Delconte. A companion for the trip was Walt’s bosom friend, John Coffin, a radio sound effects man. On the sidewalks of old New York we met June Gifford, an up-and- coming nurse. She told us that Mildred Curtis w'as very active in a large New York Orphan Asylum. Effie Booth was teaching school; while Mary Flatley was doing missionary work in China. Walt and I arrived at our destination and saw our manager, who told us we were to head the entertainment bill at a small night club. —RAY W. STEVENS, Jr., ’37.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY IF THE Senior Class of 19.37 asked you what vehicle was important in their traveling to Washington, I am sure that you would answer that the bus was the important vehicle. However, they would reply that the senior play, “Amy From Arizona”, was an important vehicle in their trip to Washington. The play, a farce in three acts, was both a financial and personal success, one of the most successful ever held at S.H.S. The play centered about the trials and tribulations of a hen-pecked son-in-law, Lester Heminway, a part which was expertly handled by Edwin Robbins. The causes of his troubles were his mother-in-law, Mildred Curtis; an actress, Marjorie Myers; and his brother-in-law, Ray Stevens. Further complication ensued when Amv from Arizona, Alberta Morrill: and Richard Morrow, Malcolm Harvey, arrived at the Heminway Home. The cast was further sup- plemented by James McLindon and Mary DeGrechie who played the parts of Hoskins and Cora respectively. Because of the untiring efforts of Mr. Stanton, the play was a success. —ALBERTA MORRILL ’37.
