Suddenly I caught sight of a flower. 'Why there's our class flower' I almost shouted. Eagerly I plucked it and tested its fragrance. The odor seemed to give me a magic power. I examined one petal closely and a strange vision stole over me. When I regained my senses I was in a crowded New York Department Store.'Oh I'm head of the ladies glove department in this joint' yawned Gladys after our greetings.Next I found myself in a little West Texas town standing in front of a small and dingy office which bore the label of "Sheriff".the Sheriff was a young women of twenty who greeted me.and she told me that Franklin White was Mayor of the town while Norine was his private secretary.As I sat talking with my two friends their faces seemed suddenly to grow dim and to fade from my sight.
