Tlllf FORUJI 1llL'l'llf!l40NU Gladys lVhitely. She always had heen so speedy ou the typewriter in the days at Senn. that I was not surprised at see- ing her ot-enpying this ltonorable seat. She had so many medals that I did not take the time to ask her where or from whom she had received all of them. l let't Boston the next morning to spend a few days in Brookline. a very beautiful residential snhurh. I took my way first to Beaeonstield Hotel. on Bea- eon and then walked up Fisher Hill. where l saw a very heautifnl home. On the lawn was a group ot' young people, the-hostess heing Mildred Brister. lVe reeognized eaeh other at a moment's glance. and I was invited to join them. lVe took a walk through the beatiful Chestnut llill Reservoir. and went down t'onnnoinvealth Ave.. the most fashion- ahle and one of the finest lioulevards in the world. The following day a group ot' girls and myself went for an exenrsion on the Atlantic to Salem. whieh is not very far from Brookline. lVe went in swimming at Salem Willows Beaeh. and afterwards played tennis at the tennis eonrts near the heaeh. where we met Graee Johnson- and Gladys Goddard. now great athletes, playing tennis. I might say they were ehampions. as we played a few games against them and they won every time. NVe then went to see the old witeh house. the oldest house now standing in Salem, having heen lmilt hefore 1635. After- wards we went haek to Brookline where I stayed over night. The next morning I took the train for XVoreester. as 1 wanted to see their university and other hnild- ings. and I saw the State Mutual Build- ing. etc. l then went to the Clark linivere sity, which eertainly is a lovely sehool. l went to the otiiee to have someone show me through this lmilding. The prin- eipal. who was no one but Mabel Bixler, showed me through the school. As we were passing: through the corridors and watching the elasses at work. it reminded me of the days at Senn, and we were soon met hy a girl who seemed to be in a great hurry. I was told that she. Mil- dred Anderson, was the editor of the Voltage paper. As we went into one of the English rooms, l was introdueed to Evelyn Uomher, now a College English teaeher. On my way haek to Boston I stopped ot? at Cambridge to see Harvard Uni- versity. the oldest Vniversity in the United States. the principal eollege hnildings numbering! twenty-tive. I was shown through these wonderful hnild- ings and met Sidney Drought. now a teacher in the Medical Department. After my visit here. 1 went haek to Boston. l met a hand of sntfragettes, who were on their way to Xvashington, D. FH. the lender being Edna Nordgren. I went into the Jordon Marsh K Com- pany Department Store. eomparing with that of Marshall Field K Company. in t'hieago. Here I met Mildred Goulet, now a forelady for the hnsiness depart- ment. and Elvira Koi-opp. the head stenographer. After spending seven weeks of enjoy- ment in Boston and the surrounding towns, 1 hegan to think ol' Chicago once more. Early in the afternoon ofthe next day. l was seeing Boston for the last time and bidding farewell to iny old t-lassmates. The following day at 11:55 .l. M, I was again baek in Chicago ready for hard work once more. Ruth Engwall. I Zu x Il I Illi all 'J fjl..J tit. illviliillllllllttjftt.
