is LOVING memory of Miss Francisea Pagon
Martinez, late eritie of French and Spanish in
Milne High School, who died in Burlington, Ver-
mont, August 12, 1924. Miss Martinez was a skillful
teacher; she made our work interesting with her
talks on the customs of France, Spain, and the West
Indies; she founded the Freneh Club; she made
friends of her pupils. Miss Martinez had an unusual
personality, vibrant and attractive, unforgettable.
We shall never forget her, and, as an expression of

our sorrow at her death, we dedicate to her memory

this issue of ‘The Crimson and White.”

FOREVER 'N’EVER

The big gray car drew up in front of a large stone building.

The building had originally been a home, but for the past ten years
had been an exclusive school for girls. Ina few minutes the old
door opened and a lithe, childish figure stepped out. She paused
the several ears drawn up, and then,

Mae stopped the ¢ and getting out, took a basket from the

back. When an inviting lunch had been spread under a big tree, he
walked to the ear, and with the friendliest smile in the world said
persuasively, “Come now, Lorraine, we'll eat some nice lunch and

you can tell me what the fuss is, Come on, there are some of your

favorite sandwiches,’ he added, as an inducement,
Lorraine slipped from the ear and walked aimlessly after him.
Half way through the lunch, which Mae had tried to season with

cheery conversation, Lorraine, with a sandwich in one hand and a

enp of milk in the other, suddenly burst into tears.
Hastily taking both the cup and the sandwich, Mae put his
arm around the sobbing little figure and with one hand gently

Lorraine nodded and buried her faee deeper on his shoulder.
These two made a sharp contrast: he, with his friendly though wor-
ried face, and in chauffeur’s uniform; and she, with her dainty face,
her pretty curls and expensive clothes.

Lorraine’s mother had died when she was an infant, and for
the following nine years, her father had taken her with him all over
the world, in an attempt to forget his grief, At the age of ten,
Lorraine had seen many strange and fascinating sights which people

It was little over a
letter from his two older

ear ago that her father had received a
gesting that a life such as Lor-
raine had been leading was no life for a child, particularly a sensi-

tive, imaginative girl. In the fatal letter, the two sisters had gener-
ously offered Lorraine a home with them, and an education suitable
for the only daughter of John Knapp.

Mr. Knapp had given the matter much thought and eonsidera-
tion, and although he hated to be parted from his daughter, decided
that a life such as his sisters offered would be more suitable for his
lovely little daughter than the one he could give her. And so, Lor-

raine had come into the home and lives of two women who knew

nothing of children, and even less of their wants and longings.
She had always been an imaginative child, and had told her

dolls **the most wonderful stories.”

When the two sisters had de-
cided that eleven was too old to play with dolls, Lorraine had

started to write the stories and cone

curious about the cigar box similar to his own, had looked inside

This hurt the child’s sensitive spirit, but her pride held up her
haughty little chin and no one ever knew the truth, except Mac.

Mae, or John William McKinley, had been with the Knapp sis
ters for year: overed that he could keep Lor-
raine entertained for hours at a time, and that the little girl en-
joyed being with him, they gave their full permission for Lorraine
to go wherever Mae wanted to take her—or to put it more aceu-
rately; for Mae to take Lorraine wherever she wanted to go, for
she was, in a way, a young tyrant.

In a few minutes, Lorraine dried her eyes on Mae’s hand-
kerchief and sat up. ‘All right, Mac, now you listen and I'll read
you the story I wrote this morning.’

The child's story was a simple little tale, but was told with a
directness and quaintness which lent charm to it. There were also
touches of pathos and tears. Mae wondered if it was the child’s

Mae reached over and, turning the haughty little chin, looked
into the gray eye

“Say it as )
promise, Mae, and I'll keep my promise. I will, forever’n’ever.’*

That was in 1919, and in 1920, Lorraine went to Europe with
her aunts. Mae did not go, but promised to write. The correspon-
dence lasted six months, and then, suddenly, there were no more
letters from Mac, no more bright, cheery letters.

One day in the spring of 1924, a car full of people, sped
noiselessly along the state road. One did not need a second glance
to tell that the people were distinguished—all of them. If one
heard their names, one would recognize some of the leading eri

The man beside the driver, a famous illustrator, turned and

I’m just a little hairpin—and a wire one at that—but what a

months, I lived in F. W. Woolworth’s store on Fifth Avenue along
with my other brothers. We had been placed in a pretty flowered
box and were then set on the front counter. In putting us in the

all that went on in the store and out on the street. I used to tell
my brothers about all the people who passed through the store.
There were poorly clad people and rich appearing ones, and you
would be surprised to see all the things they bought. I used to see
the snow fly outside and the people rushing by, all going somewhere,
as if each one were the most important person in the world. It was
very cold, sometimes, on that front counter because the doors were
right in front of it. My brothers consoled me when they told me
that T would be warm someday in the future when I pinned up the

It seems as though eons have passed since we were seniors, but
really its only a few short months. To come back to the same
building to go to college was stranger than you might think it
would be. However there’s one consolation, we don’t have to climb
