fect a new baggy spat that would fit ankles above fallen arches, and we agreed that Mina B. King's fate had been sealed long before she left high school. I was utterly surprised to hear that Vincel Parks and Kenny King were gradually getting to the peak of success that Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire had attained. While rambling on the subject of movie stars, Marilyn told me of the tragic and yet good luck of Shirley Lloyd. It seemed that after Shirley was married and had lived in Denver, Colorado, for six years she found life very unexciting for such an adventurous girl. While in Reno securing her divorce, she met Mary E. Storey, now the wife of a producer of Warner Brothers Pictures. Mary Ellen invited Shirley to go home with her for a visit. While there, Shirley landed a contract with Warner Brothers. At this point my maid, Mary Thompson, came into announce that dinner was served. After dinner I suggested that we take in a show. Approaching the show, we found Joan Lovelace sell- ing tickets, while Jean Marie Ambs, Jean Schofield, and Anna M. Beck served as ushers. The show consisted of a double fea- ture and a news reel. The double feature starred the great lover, Robert Taylor with Mary Davies in Lochinvar , also Helen Osborn and Luella Wilkes in Lost Love . The news reel por- trayed Ruth Pentland and Enid Moore in a spectacular exposi- tion of deep-sea diving. Upon leaving the show, we chanced to engage Jean Marie in conversation, and learned that she was rooming in an apartment house owned and operated by three old maids, Hazel Burch, Ruth Bonham, and Juanita Reynolds. They had found it was useless to live in hopes and so decided to earn their own living. It was now growing late, though We had not noticed it before. With a sigh and a faint suggestion of tears, Marilyn bade me goodbye, promising that she would call upon me again soon. ADELIA M. JONES, '37 Page twenty-five

THRESHOLD OF LIFE The deepening depths of the ocean, The widening width of the sea, The lake's long, lonely motion, Typiiies life to me. We as Seniors shall behold it, In all its mysterious lore, Who knows what we shall get, From life's unfathomable store? With hope and confidence in man, A sincere trust in God, We'll gain success, surely we can, If a straight path we'll trod. So we go forth with banners waving, Banners of hope and cheer, In our ambitions, our life enslaving, With never a falter nor a fear. EUGENE CISCELL, '37 Page twenty sem 1
