PROP HECV Square I picked up Marguerite Eaton and Doris Cathcart. As I slowed down and turned into Main street l nearly ran over their toes, not because their feet were long, but because I cut my corner short. I did a very ungentlemanly thing. I yelled out to them, ' Going over to the school 7' They were polite. They nodded. Get in, I said, opening the door. Neither of them was tickled to death to squeeze in there beside me, but it was a hot night and I guess the thought of a cool ride seemed good. You're living on the South Side? l asked Marguerite. Yes, she said, Right up near where I used to live when I went to the Orange street school. That was some crowd that played to- gether then, I suggested. i She gave me a look. Doris was getting interested. so I changed the subject by re- ferring to a pretty diamond ring Doris had on her linger. That started her to talking. XVe felt much safer. Now my car was no Ford, but neither was it made for three in the front seat. but honestly I enjoyed that short ride from Central Square about ten thousand times as much as the fairly long ride with Henry jackson, which is saying a lot. As we turned down Liberty street the old High School was all lighted up. NVhat's the idea ? I asked Doris. Night school, answered Marguerite. But what is it all lighted up for, Mar- guerite ? f Oh, because, says Doris, that's be- cause the city couldn't afford two high schools. They are making one do double duty. Freshman, Sophomore, daytimesg juniors and Seniors nights. They have two teachers for each study. For example. Elin Larsen teaches music to the Freshmen and Sophomores, and Elsa Iledman teaches the rest. Margaret Perry isn't a school teacher as much as she wanted to be, but she is night principal: the day official was a man whose name l was not familiar with. LIKED TO XYATCII CIEIICKENS AND CCJXV Often during my Freshman year, when I got sick and tired of Latin, which was most of the time, I loved to watch a certain cow and many chickens that roamed in the low field, that l could see from my seat by the window in Room 4. Ivo-w that was all gone and here stood the new Annex. A two-story buildingfbeautifully illuminated. Elizabeth had described the building very brieHy in her letter and I had read Miss lioffses' description of it in a Boston paper, but both were very indefinite, as I suppose all women's descriptions of buildings in the making are. I The grounds were not entirely cleaned up at that time. From one of the numerous piles of scrap boards, laths, plaster, etc., some kid had 'nshed out a sign and stood it up in a lime barrel and then evidently pelted it with mud balls. I could make out 'this much of it: All the interior decorations in this building were designed by Mrs. Flor- ence ii.-finucl covered the new namej, Expert Decorator. If my passengers hadn't been there I would have gone over and satisfied my curiosity as to who her husband was. But they were there, so we just went in. The two girls had seen the place before, so they went right upstairs to the big As- sembly Hall. I explored the two clown- stairs gymnasiums in company with Kazy Rogers, who also had not been through the building before. XVe talked not of cabbages and kings, but of IVI. G. L. and other things. She wasn't a minister's wife, after all, in fact, wasn't married, but she had hopes. She expected a certain Christmas present that coming December. As wewvalked about I had a feeling that someone was missing. Then it dawned on me.
