OF T certified public accountants. They are busily chatting about the selection of Miss Helen Skiles and John Wharrey for trusted positions on the Vanderbilt estate. Another group of women, who look especially sparkling tonight, includes Miss Margaret Cameron, instructor of English at Columbia, Miss Jean Jackson and Miss Kathryn Turnbull, who teach math and music respectively at Albany High School, and Miss Shirley Clipson, who is now practicing her Domestic Science training in keeping a boarding-house for dogs. Miss Mary Jackson, physical education professor at Temple, has just joined them. Not far from them Neal Clay, chief pilot for TWA, is discussing Diesel engines for airplanes with Raymond Egler and William Neely. The ballroom is now almost entirely filled. However, people are still arriving. Even now the two famous women basketball stars Mildred Fisher and Helen Gould are slowly making their way to their table, chatting with Emma Williams and Isabel Jones, successful advertising agents. A large party has just arrived to fill the one remaining table. Paul Bemis, Presi- dent of Western Union Telegraph, is host to Harry Blake and William Keller, Wall Street brokers, Paul Hague and Harry Pflugh, members of the Giants, with their man- agers, William Dempsey and James Cronin, and Robert Martin and Robert Seaver, auditors for the Mellon Banks. Last but not least little Miss Dorothea Seghmyer appears, escorted by Andrew Newton Scott, the president of the Board of Directors of Rockefeller Center. It looks very much as if they won't find places. Well, it has been a wonderful evening for everyone .... The prophet stirred and sat up. Oh dear, I must have fallen asleep. I'd better get back to work or I'll never finish. Now let me see. Jean Handy, Jean Handy, Handy .... SAGA OF SEWII-lI That stern old lad, Chief Sewihi Matched out upon the field, While from the gaping bleachers A rousing war-cry pealed. The whistle blew, the game began: His brave and stalwart men Picked up the weak Coropoli And hurled them down again. With smashing, crashing, fierce attack The Cory line they battered: For what cared they for broken bones? The game was all that mattered. And ne'er did Chieftain Sitting Bull With bow or tomahawk Wreak havoc like old Sewihi With tackle, smash, and block. While touchdowns thunder right and left Poor Cory stands dismayed, Her puny strength proves futile 'Gainst daring Sewickley raid. And when the game is over The foe lies in the sand: Chief Sewihi strides from the field A fresh scalp in his hand. W. F.. '37 HE SENIOR CLAS
