Next in the panorama flashed the Blue Garage. I was surprised to see the door open and Anna Howard and Rollin Kelsey came out. They jumped into a large Cadillac and drove away. Following this was a dancing troop of which Miss Mary Wirtz was a member. Apparently Mary was 'adancing her way to fame. The next scene was a large store in Chicago. The sign over the door read like this: '4Miss Beatrice Thompson, Critic on Styles. If you wish to know the last word in styles, step in here! The last scene was a dentistis oliice. The dentist, Miss Mary Lafferty, was engaged in the arduous task of pulling a wisdom tooth. A good look- ing young man in the office began to flirt outrageously with Mary. She pulled the wrong tooth! Soon after this everything seemed to fade into nothingless and I re- alized that the tirst performance was nearly over-that I had a theme to write for English IV, and that if I didn't hurry home I would still be writ- ing it when the witching hour came. So I left my imaginary 4'Weekly News and wended my way homeward. RUTH DOONAN '24- Addendo.--How could Ruth, even through modesty, leave out her own picture from the above list? Ruth has cunningly done this, but she, too, appeared in a classroom scene, as witnessed by another observer of this picture, and appeared to be perfectly content in her profession. The Senior class wish to extend their sincere thanks to Miss Mahony, our faculty advisor, for her diligent and invaluable aid in issuing this, the ninth Camera of Stamford Seminary.

Mary seems at Hrst to be a rather quiet person, but she is possessed of a sense of humor that dispels any illusion as to her gentle, retiring na- ture. She is always a good listener, too, and perhaps that accounts for her shrewdness and insight. As to her future, we decline to give a verdict, since all we can glean from her answers to our questions is, 'cl am going to one of LThe Seven Colleges' Be as it may, we count on you to be successful, Mary. The figures 1, 2, 3, and 4- represent the years of High School. PROPHECY, 1923 The slightly elevated seats in the Stamford Opera House were grow- ing harder every minute-at least, that was the case with the particular one I was occupying at the time. The air was stuffy and of that sickening odor peculiar to Hmovien places alone. For fully ten minutes I had been sitting with half closed eyes gazing with out any special interest at the different items of the 'LWeekly Newsl' as they passed before me. Sud- denly I was surprised to see the name of our classmate, Richard R. Frame, flashed on the screen. He had planned and constructed a large dam which forced the water to flow from the St. Lawrence river to Hobart and Bloom- ville. The next scene was a model farm in the Himalaya Mountains. Mr. Theodore Starr Mase was the proprietor. The neighbors whispered sev- eral things about him, he was pro-English, he was very generous in giv- ing 'gfree rides , and his Clady-ola field was a beautiful sight. Following this scene was a spirited game of basket ball between the San Francisco and Syracuse teams. Miss Gladys Morrow was the coach of the Syracuse team. The score of 51 to 2 in favor of Syracuse showed Gladys' skill as an athletic directress. Then the scene shifted to a large hall in New York City, where Harold Raynor was giving dancing lessons to class of young ladies. This did not surprise me because I knew that Harold liked the opposite sex. The next scene showed a small schoolroom with our classmate, John Smith, seated at the desk. A Happerish looking young book agent then approached the desk. Before she left John had bought all the books she was selling, because he was too bashful to say anything but yes.', tu.
