The Senior Year Book— 1933 nating it as the home of Dr. William Thompson, a fine looking gentleman walked out of the house, preceded by a most charming woman, dressed becomingly in a silver-webbed gown. We were not much surprised to find that their features resembled those of Grace Bliven and Bill Thompson. We saw them enter a large Packillac simouline, the wealthy class’s favorite mode of conveyance. Seated in the front of the vehicle was Edward Vis-gard, handsomely attired in a chauffeur’s uniform. As we approached the down town section of the city, we were irresistibly attracted to a tremendous flower stand, behind which stood Helen Giorno, arranging her floral bevy for the early morning business. Already at that early hour a beauty parlor had opened its doors, a placard announcing the name of the establishment, the Blanc Anze. The two proprietors, who were famed for their ability as experts of milady’s coiffure, were none other than Blanche Langworthy and Anza Rockwell. In a separate section of the shop stood Dominic Perra, giving one of his famous Grecian Urn haircuts. Walking past a most fashionable dress shop, we chanced to see a fashionably dressed man in the company of a number of beautiful women. We heard some whispered comments that he was Thomas Saunders, the principal of the largest high school in the world, and that the women with him were several of his most efficient teachers, whom we afterwards recognized as Evelyn Olsen, Mildred Hoadley, and Amy Reynolds. Since the requirements for an ideal teacher at present are beauty as well as brains, the young women, with the principal, were entering Mme. Jessie's Attire Shoppe, where a chic gown could be purchased for not more than 1,000 garnets. A woman rushed out to greet them, rattling off French like a true Parisian. She was, no doubt, Mme. Jessie, for she bore a striking resemblance to Jessie Smith, who had been so quiet and demure in her school days. What wonders can be wrought by the years! Just outside the city, we visited the f Solo-Mearns observatory where we learned Ithat due to the perseverance of a mathematical wizard, Ella Soloveitzik (just another of our many celebrities), the exact distance from our earth to the newly discovered worlds had been calculated. Putting these estimations to practical use, Dr. Dorothy Mearns, the greatest of women scientists, had invented an optoscope, which enabled us to view the people of those far away planets as though they were next door. This marvelous invention we now saw operated by two of Professor Mearns’ ardent disciples, Clara Peckham and Eileen Simmons. During our inspection of this spectacle we were interrupted by Amy Pratt, a messenger of the International Telegraphic Co., with a radiogram for me, warning me to hasten back or a rival doctor would soon usurp my entire profession. Fortunately we had by this time seen all of our classmates and were so cheered and refreshed by the realization of their accomplishments that even the thought of facing the law suit again could not deter us. Such is the joy of meeting old friends! —By Reva Novogroski. — 20 )S —
