The journev was a long one and having nothing else to do while riding on the train without a com- panion, I began to ponder over mv high school days where I had spent the happi- est moments of my life. I began to thinl: also of some of my old classtnates who had been so dear and wondered what they were doing now after the elapse of so many years. This thought remained with me until I reached the end of my journey, and on arriving in this great bee region I was reminded of that passage from Virgil's Aeneid describing the Tro- jans Uas exercise the bees in early summer throughout the flowering country-side fin the sunlight when they lead forth the young of the tribe now full-grown or store away the flowing honey and swell the comb with sweet nectar or receive the burden of those who are gathering or in a swarm drive out the drones, the lazy hard, from the hives, while the work glows and fragrant honey is revol- ent with thyme. j What a picture. I ad- mired all this wondrous work of the Most High and then proceeded to look about. A great distance away I saw a man-the only person I had seen since my arrival. Immediately I started in that direction but before I knew it, I was facing one who seemed somewhat familiar-indeed he was familiar. It proved to be none other than Fred Stine, who had bestowed upon himself the title of the The Keeper of the Bees. After indulging in a conver- sation with Mr. Stine, I found that he had spent quite a lonely life in this great re- gion, but in order to overcome this loneli- ness and always having taken a great interest in his classmates he had kept up a continuous correspondence with each one and this is the information he had ob- tained and which he gave to me: l'.'gc one hundred twelve Bill Cook and Pankie Smith, he said, are dancing in one of the largest theatres in New York-their director being the handsome Fred Smith. In the chorus may be found Kate Bowles, Nlargaret Gwalt- ney, and Mary Katherine Blum. Katherine Spainhour is nursing in Washington in a Government Hospital and is co-worker with Dr. Ernest E. Po- well, Ir. We might add that their friend- ship is somewhat extended after office hours. The great scientist, Norris Edwards, has just invented a form of permanent cosmetics whichl is already being applied by his first customers Evelyn McGee, El- len Lawson, and Edith Elliot. You will remember Mr. Edwards for his great invention of a newly improved modernistic reducing machine-his willing victim for experiment being Miss Ida Rose Blackwood. In Hollywood may be found Nancy Fisher instructing a class on how to apply cosmetics correctly. Farrell Koontz and T. Waller have become honest lawyers: however, they seem to be making quite a great deal of money. 'iRev. William Wagoner is pastor of a church located at Whitetown, a town named for the famous lecturer and ex- plorer, joe Bill White. Dwelling in China is Mozelle Craver, who has made missionary work her pro- fession in order to try to reform such- as William Allen, Vincent johnson, and Paul jordan. Emory Crow is now running on the Work lVIore Party ticket for Governor of N. C. His opponent on the Work Less Party ticket is Everette Kimball. Guy Davis, it seems, is financing both campaigns with the sincere hope that he might gain favor with both sides. Helen Smith has become a great sing- fContinued to page l9Oj BLACK AND GOLD

Section II. To poor Miss I'Ieilig, our class sponsor, we're afraid that aspirin tablets and nerve tonic are the most bcnehciary gifts we can leave in return for her untiring efforts in guiding us through these trying days of last exams, trying to collect class dues, and teach- ing us to wear a cap with a tassel. Section III, To the Iuniors we bequeath the pleasure of complaining about the so-called Senior Privileges, and we only ask that they be sure to complain as bitterly as we have. Article II tor to have his technique with girls, be- cause Ray is so timid and shy. Section II. Bill Cooke wills his place in the band to anyone who will have it -this is chiefly valuable as an excuse for being tardy to class on chapel mornings, Section III. To Haywood Witherington, Williani Allen leaves his pleasant dis- position. We feel it is our duty to warn you, Haywood, that you run the risk of inheriting William's laziness with it.
