I heard strains of music coming from the gym, and when I went down to see what it was all about, I found Gym Instructor Priscilla Thomas putting her pupils through all the phases of the modern dance. I had a chat with Priscilla, and she told me that Josephine Burns had been appointed as cooking teacher, but after two days of teaching she re- signed to be married. Marion Boose is now head of the cooking department. GERTRUDE: Well-it's been swell seeing you again. Let's get together again and talk over old times.
