He's 'wearing dark glasses and long black ear . Lesley: Well, who are you, slranger? lSlranger removes beard and gIasses.l Dorolhy: Kilo Janes! Henry Janes: Yes, il's I, bul sh-h-hl Don'l lell anyone. I'm sludying criminology and I'm lrailing a desperale criminal. Belly: A criminal? Well, I hope he isn'l on lhis plane! Henry: No, he's on lhe one lhal Iell a day ahead ol us. Lois: I have anolher surprise lor you. Do you know who's pilol- ing lhis plane? . Henry: Don'l lell me-Iel me guess. Lois: Well, I'm laking no chances: I'lI lell you. Il's Ken Angvick wilh Willard Phelps assisling. Lesley: I lhoughl Ken always wanled lo be an underlaker. Lois: He slill does. Henry: Hey, slop lhis lhing and lel me oul ol here! Belly: Say, do any ol you know 'iwhal became ol Doris Wil- Iiamson? Dorolhy: I know one lhing. She's leading a slricl Iilel Lois: Whal do you mean? Dorolhy: Well, she lives by rules and regulalions. Bul lhal's whal she gels lrom choosing a husband lrom a mililary school! Belly: Has she conlinued sludying music? Dorolhy: Yes, she plays lor lhe choir al Sl. John's Mililary Academy. Henry: I see! Lesley: Say, have you girls ever seen any Wichaka Club mem- bers? Thal used lo be a real galhering place al Park. Lel's see, lhere was Helen Brill. Whalever became ol her? Belly: Haven'l you heard? She is lhe lirsl woman lo be elecled as a dislricl allorney. Henry: I saw Doris Jones on Broadway. She was slarring in lhe piclure Monolony on lhe Counly. Doris always liked Dramalics and her lavorile sludy was English. Reading was her paslime. She would sil lor hours wilh a good book. Lois: When I came on lhis iob I lound mysell compeling wilh anolher lrained nurse, Dorolhy Anderson. She was one girl oul ol many whose lavorile subiecl was bookkeeping. Horlick High donaled Dorolhy lo Park, and she cerlainly was an all-round sporlswoman. Anolher one, Carol Auslin, always disliked Miss Jones' library rules. CaroI's male public seemed lo gel her inlo lrouble in lhe library. Dorolhy: Carol seemed lo like prinling once--probably because of a side allraclion. Bul she raled a place on lhe honor roll. Henry: Say, did you know Marie Fornary is running a lraveling secrelarial school in lhe deplhs ol Africa? She slops al dillerenl places each day lo salisly lhe wanderlusl in her soul, bul lhey say il's a prelly good school anyway. Belly: My ambilion was lo be a leacher, bul lhe nearesl I've come lo lhal is leaching Sunday School. Lesley: Whal became ol Margarel Cowley? Henry: She's leaching algebra which was her lavorile sludy al school. She's sponsoring a movemenl which will lake lo lhe nalives ol lhe Fiii Islands lhe deep, dark mysleries ol algebra. According lo her, a person who does nol know algebra may iusl as well nol be living. Dorolhy: By lhe way, Laylon Dixon is really gelling somewhere wilh his lree lance wriling. I happened lo read a lew ol his arlicles in some weekly magazines. Belly: He is lhe one who look parl in lhe Taming ol lhe Shrew while al Park. Henry: I happened lo be on a lour Iasl summer and I slopped in lhe U. S. Congressional Library. and who do you lhink was chiel librarian? Belly: Could il have been Jeanne Fordice? Henry: You're righll I know she always worked in lhe library al Park. Thal's some improvemenl lrom lhe Washinglon Park High School library lo lhe U. S. Congressional. I heard lhal she has donaled quile a lew books lo lhe Park library. I guess her old alleclions lor il slill holds. Dorolhy: She used lo dole on dramalics. I lhoughl she'd lake lhal as a vocalional goal. Lesley: This Iasl winler I wenl ice-skaling a lew limes, and say, I saw Iols ol lhe old Park gang. I saw Elhel Goldbeck, one ol lhe chiel homework halers ol Park. Lois: Well, I don'l care much lor ice skaling, bul I saw Harrison Wurz, lhe famous millionaire bachelor, skale in lhe world races in Chicago Iasl lall, and walk oll wilh lirsl prize. I imagine lhal's where he makes his living, and lhal's nol so bad, is il? They say he always did wanl lo be a millionaire. Bul I slill can'l ligure how he has remained a bachelor! Belly: When I was in Tunis, I mel Mary Alice Johnson. I s'pose you remember her beller as Mary Alice Foxwell. She slarled lo lravel when she was al Park, and she's slill al il. Some perse- verance, I'II say. We have anolher in our sel ol graduales, loo. Remember Monica Wagner? Well, she iusl won lhe U. S. swim- ming lille. I know Monica always spenl mosl ol her lime al lhe beach when I knew her. I guess in her spare lime she wriles lor lhe newspapers, as her vocalional inleresl used lo be iournalism. Dorolhy: Say, speaking ol wriling, did you know lhal Andy Pendl is managing a newspaper ollice? His love lor iournalism did him much good, he claims. Lesley: Did you know lhal we once had a greal arlisl in our midsl al Park? Gladys Haller has made hersell lamous in lhal line. She is a well-known inlerior decoralor al presenl in New York. Her lavorile sludy was arl, you know. Ol course, lhere was I-Iowie lo lake up some ol her lime, bul she slill gol along. She also has achieved her grealesl ambilion-lo play lhe piano. You should hear her! Lois: Did any ol you know lhal Kay Harbridge is leaching? I guess her sludenls will be prelly lucky il only she remembers lhal she hersell haled home work, bul mosl leachers forgel lhal. Belly: I know a lamous goller who wenl lo Park. So do you, no doubl. Il's LeRoy May, beller known as Prelly Legs. LeRoy cerlainly has been pullin' 'em in! His lavorile sporl and paslime always has been goll-and he slill slicks lo ill LeRoy had a bad weakness lhough, liking lo hear lhe 4:00 o'clock bell ring. Dorolhy: Well, I knew a girl who disliked lhe slams lhrown around al Park. She had a lerrible lime lrying lo gel used lo lhem, bul she never did. Thal was Kalhryn Koehler. Kay's vocalional inleresl was lo be a leacher, which I guess she is now. Lois: I'm sorry lo see lhis lrip end. Il's been so inleresling, bul I guess we are iusl aboul al our deslinalion. Be sure lo lake everylhing wilh you. So long, lriends. A Curlain
