Barbara Bowen THE RED AND BLACK 17 accepted. Whether we went up or down, I do not recall, but I do remember that we stopped very suddenly. When I stepped out I came up with a thud and I slowly came to the realization that I had come back to earth. I don't know whether this was a bad dream or an actual happening, but anyway, it was fun while it lasted. VIRGINIA MORSE. LQGQ5-5 Class Statistics .

16 THVE RED AND BLACK who were being subjected to this penalty, only in a lesser degree, were Dolly Muzeroll, Tony Marro, Peggy Green, john Shostak, Peter Ptasnikoff, and Andrew Mack. After leaving this group I noticed someone standing on a high ladder making figures on the dark walls. The artist was Hester Perkins, decorating the walls of Hades with stick figures, and because Hades is steadily growing larger due to the influx of so many seniors, I guess her job is permanent. Why is everybody in such a hurry ? I asked, seeing someone racing with a deer which had evidently had a good start. You will recall , replied my guide that back in Stevens High School Peter Nemcovich was always seen running down the corridors at dismissal and now, for punishment, he is racing with the very swift deer to the end of the world . just as we were leaving Tartarus. I saw a large sign which pointed down- ward, and there, in a large hole were Bundy Boudette, Peter Melsky, and Kike Kolenda industriously shovelling coal and slowly making their way through the walls of Tartarus to Hades proper. We soon passed a very unpretentious building which we found to be occupied by Butch Scoop'em Henry, the raving reporter for the Daily Hellion . Butch has employed as secretaries Tina Laskevich, Victoria Gelew- ski, Gerry Giguere, Madaline Stone, and Marjory Howe. His cameraman is George LeLoup. I saw by the paper that Earl Thurber and his All-Hades Nine fea- turing George Allen, Frederick King, George Lockwood, Niels Lundgren. Nathan Anfronak, Donald Fontaine, Allan Devereux, and Inkie Haugsrud, went to town with their opponent the Elysian Rocknes in their last game. The latter team stars such players as Alfred Buinicky, Anthony Golub, Howard Emerson, Bob Almond, Charles Reilly, Karl Kaufman, and Gerald Burns. jay evidently didn't appear at every game because when he did, he always had to take time out to get some shut-eye . Malcolm Durward had a whole page in the newspaper and at that time was drawing campaign cartoons for Leslie Kemp who was running for Mayor of Hades. Arthur Rouillard was swaying the masses with his bombastic soap- box speeches for the forthcoming election. Because his addresses were so drawn out and far-fetched, it took the Richmond and Tipping twins. working in al- ternate shifts, day and night to keep him supplied with campaign material. It seems that Peggy Anne Phillips and Margie Small, whom we knew better as the Corporation , had their Personal Service Agency in the news- paper building also, and I was told that they had done wonders for Barbara Bowen who was then fair, fat, and forty, and was living the life- a la old maid . The Corporation's assistants were Helen Coffin, Ellen Hill, Bertha Haugsrud, Loretta St. Martin. and Jack Backman. Very much pleased at having stopped at the newspaper otiice, and not satisfied to remain in one place for a long time, I left and once more started out in a different direction. Very soon I, came to a big landing field where I recognized Earl Wilson standing in front of one of the buildings. Evident- ly, Margie White and Earl had remained faithful and were co-pilots in their private airship, WW39 . They invited me to take a ride with them and I
