The problems of the groups are taken up at that time and discussed. The members are: Alpha president, Francis Somers, secretary, Bonnie Markley, sponsor, Miss HeIenJohnson.

Mary Sue Wade, now a nursemaid, helped frantic mothers take care of their children. Ardalea Reese, senator from Louisiana, accompanied by Alice King, her campaign manager, was one of the most dignified of the reunionists. Jeanne Lewis, a Salvation Army lassie, could always be found in the center of a crowd singing hymns. Anna Vera Rhine received many orders for pets from her exclusive pet shop. Pansy Ogil- bee who is proprietress of a hot dog stand, set up a little booth and made a great deal of money. Her chief custom- er was Ernest Stout, a rocking horse demonstrator. This forecast at last we have finished Perhaps all the facts aren't true, But may your luck ne'er diminish, And your misfortunes always be few.
