THE ACADEMY STUDENT 21 Theda Delworth was head nurse in the Boston Charity Hospital until she grew too old to work. (Flossie enters) Hello, everybody, great fun to see you all together again. Clayton Parker just drove me here in one of the new cars from his garage. He sure has a swell line, cars I mean. Alpa: Sit down, Flossie. We’re just talking over school days. Flossie: Did you know that Eugene Boucher was the lawyer that handled my last divorce case. I saw Thomas McGuire as I came in. He was on his way home from the factory and borrowed my paper to read on the car. Frances: How have you been feeling lately. Flossie? Flossie: I have been having a frightful time with my neuritis, that is, until I went to Dr. Elizabeth White for treatments. She’s helped me a whole lot. Chiropracter you know. By the way Philip, Ameta Revoir, the beautician, made a great name for herself by lifting the face of Madeline Pratt, the movie star. Alpa: Beatrice Goldstein read my horoscope about ten years ago.— Flossie: She told me I’d be a famous beauty and be married four times. I’ve only married three yet. Bessie Parker used to say she’d rather teach school than marry the best man living. I wonder if she has retired yet? Frances: (looking at wrist watch) Louie must be waiting for me. Philip, won’t you and Flossie come to supper with me? Philip: Thanks for the pleasant afternoon, Alpa. — Good-bye. All: Good-bye. EXIT Philip Young Alpa Swett Frances Rattigan Flossie Lynaugh

He was Arnold Goldstein and he went as a stowaway. Always wanted to travel. I never heard if he got back. Philip: (picks up book) (). I say. This book is by Alice Harrington. I must read it. Alpa: It is worth it, too. Alice wrote a number of fine books. How proud Miss Ellis must have been when her pupil’s books came into print. Philip: Let’s see, who were the other authors in our class? There was Oliva Fournier who wrote ‘‘Lost in a Fog,” and Dorothy Cowling who wrote the “Dick and Dot” series of children’s books. Alpa: Yes, and Marjorie Peake wrote the biography of Major Roger Carpenter, Chief of the Air Patrol. Philip: Newspaper men are not really authors but Howard Pen-niman wrote articles on baseball in the American Sports Magazine. Alpa: It was quite a literary class after all. Marion McGill took up radio announcing you know. Began in Springfield. Yt. Fiances: Say Alpa, Arnold Dolgin is giving a lecture over the radio today on the “Mechanics of the Ford”. Do you ever listen in to the Goodrich Symphony on Saturdays. The music is fine. Alpa: 1 always tune in to Ruth Wheelock’s Bedtime Yarns at 7.30 every evening. Philip: You must have had some very interesting encounters in your social work. Alpa: I have loved it. One day 1 happened to be in Burke, Vt. and I saw Pauline Williams working as a hostess in the Civilian Conservation Corps Camps. Frank Towers was preaching in Sutton last year, too, and Arlene Drew has had a class of foreign children here in town.
