22 THE TUSCOLIAN Watching a curious little group of light bulbs, Fred failed to see her hand flash forth and press a little button, but he did see the lights give a feeble radiance. “Dorothy Shreve,” said the woman, “is an artist of great fame. Mary Moorehead and Anna Smith are designers of Paris gowns while Vir-giealena Grigsby is a successful beauty parlor, manager.” “Where is Max Wayne Vest?” “He is a civil engineer and is at present in South America. Between engineering a bridge across the river and teasing the dark skinned maidens that frequent the river bank, his time is well taken.” They sat in silence a few minutes. Suddenly a brilliant glare, as the sun on a walk in summer, filled the room and the woman said: “Wilma Cedusky is in the Cannibal Islands acting the leading lady in a serial picture called ‘Sheba and Her Powder Puff’.” “And Harriet Michener, is she happy?” “Yes, she is Dean of Women at Greencastle. A few years ago one of Indiana’s fair daughters vamped one of Tuscola’s fairest sons, and so she is trying to teach the girls that they are to be sought and are not to seek. Don Rose, the editor-in-chief, has improved and advanced in that line of business. He is now editor of the ‘Garrett Tribune,’ also recognized as an authority on the transmission of bodies by means of Radio.” Looking at her, Fred saw floating above her a small German flag. It almost took his breath away, but even as he looked it disappeared and in its place waved the stars and stripes, held by some unseen hand. He gasped in surprise, but did not say a word. “Time out?” she inquired. “Oh, no. There is one more, Irene Dickinson.” She went to the door, pushed a button and the room was lighted in a natural glow. As she resumed her seat, Fred, in the better light, saw something which must have struck him dumb. “Are you so astonished?” she asked. “I had to earn a living some way, and this seemed the easiest.” —F. M., ’23.

THE TUSCOLIAN 21 station filled he acquitted himself most successfully, and now, after a long and useful political career, in the vigor of his mental and physical manhood, he has been honored by the unanimous choice of his party with the nomination for the highest office in the gift of the people, that of president. “1 feel that it is superfluous to mention the name of one who is known from coast to coast, whose deeds are discussed at every fire-side, and one who will be brought forth in history as Charles Monroe, President of the United States of America. Mrs. Monroe, formerly Wilna Tresenwriter. enjoys planning banquets and speeches for him. They will be accompanied on a trip to Europe next month by Helen Hollingsworth, a noted chemist and Emma Phillips who is waiting to be claimed the second George Eliot.” She paused, again piercing Fred’s eyes as if to see if he believed. Then with a clear voice she continued: ‘‘Alliece Warren married a rich merchant. He died and she, wishing to travel, secured Clarabelle Henson and Lyra Bird as traveling companions. They are now in London where Clarabelle and Lyra are competing for a certain golf trophy. While there they met Harriett Jane Bell who has been for the past year doing missionary work in the Samoan Islands. She finds this climate very beneficial to her health.” She paused, and Fred asked: “The Camargo girls, Irene Fry and Doris Drinkwater.” A flash of dazzling light made him jump, but she spoke as if the brilliant light helped her. “They are both successful school teachers. Estella Roy is teaching mathematics in the Hayes University.” Silence. Fred shivered at the mystic, weird appearance of the room, which seemed more gloomy by contrast with the white lights preceding it. He drew forth a note book and read the names of his fellow students. “What’s old Smith doing?” “Well, he and Lottie are married and are living on the old farm. He preaches at the country church on Sunday and during the week ekes out a living by farming. Ruth Gates and Maude Ilallowell who are expert stenographers always plan to spend their vacations in the country with them.” “And Frances, Clarice, Ferris, and Ruth Pogue, did their dreams come true?” “Yes. They have been in Paris, but have recently returned to America and are now giving concerts in New York. They say that they have quite a number of laurel wreaths and a few olive branches too.”
