The Twin Cities
at the BOule
In Missouri
By STAFF Correspondent


City at the Boule, one of the most
respected and popular figures was
Raymond W. Cannon, Minneapolis
attorney and former national presi-
dent of the Alphas.
Pauline Alexander, baselius of
Eta Chapter Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority, and Alyce Stewart were
delegates from the Twin Cities.
Noted also from the chapter was
Beatrice Schuck.
Noted at all of the social aft
fairs which are an important part
of the Boule were the distinguished
looking David Francis's of Mime
apolis.
Robert Gardner and Walter
Coins were seen squirting beauti-
fully gowned visiting ladies to the
formal parties, Both are Alpha
men. John Patton was very much
in evidence.
We glimpsed Marcella Copeland
and August Piper.
Thelma Thurston, University of
Minnesota graduate, now a MEM

Bill in close attendance, both look
ing very happy, displayed a beauti-
full diamond engagement ring to
Twin City friends. Bill is publicity
director at Virginia State College
now.
Cecil Newman, who is a native
of Kansas City, was continually
embarrassed by his failure to be
able to call the names of former
school mates. 1t was easy, he said,
to call the turn on the men but
the women change quite a bit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sheldon, for
mer st. Paulites who visited the
Twin Towns last summer, were on
hand to greet the Minnesota con-
tingent.
K. C. taxis cost only 25c from
the residential section downtown,

go on, for Gods sake" she urged.
Hurry Hurry!" David was press
ing hard on the tail of the last Mes
serschmitt, and she saw tracers as he
opened up with his eight machine
guns. Then the planes were swallow
ed by a bank of fluffy white autumn
clouds, and she could no longer see
nor hear them.
Just how long she waited, stand
ing there on the links, gripping her
club with both hands, hardly breath
ing, listening, Wendy could not say.
Perhaps it was ten minutes, perhaps
an hour. Time meant nothing to her.
Only those little specks that had dis
appeared into the clouds, whirling
and diving messengers of death, had
a meaning. The rest seemed unreal.
Or was it the planes and their pilots
that were unreal? She could not de-
eide.
Had there actually been a hand
some boy, covered with oil, standing
there, smiling and chatting, a few
moments ago, or had he been a phan-
tom? Instinctively she looked to the
ground where the plane had been and
saw it's tracks on the fairway. He
had been real all right, very real.
And now he was off fighting in the
al de- Oh L:
The thought came to her that he
might even then be lying on the
ground somewhere, mangled and burn
ed beyond recognition, and the tears
welled up, binding her. Why, she
asked herself a hundred times as
she stood there motionless except for
her hair which the light breeze play
ed through-why, oh why must this
flower of youth be destroyed, burned,
mangled? They were so brave, so
utterly without fear, so selfless.
There was great beauty in their un-
affected courage, but all this did not
answer her soul searching question.
Wendy remained rooted to the spot
by the expectation that the planes
might return, and that she could
count them, see their markings, and
know if anything had happened. She
fully realized that the chances of
such return were very small indeed
with the speed of the modern fighter
planes.
Finally she renowned this faint
hope, picked up her golf ball, and
started walking slowly in the direc-
ton of "The Downs, her home sit
uated on slight rise to the west of,
and overlooking, the links. AS she
walked along, following the direction
by instinct, for she saw nothing about
her, the smiling presence of David
Hutchinson seemed to accompany
her.
Her desire during these terrible
times was to be strong, to keep both
feet on the ground and, above all, to
have a high morale. But the imagi-

was no other sound on land or in
the sky, except the clicking of steel

on.

and, without speaking, led the girl
by her arm around the body of the

there on the side.

weekly magazines. When he was dec
Grated with the Distinguished Fly
ing Medal, the Illustrated London
News had carried full page of snap
shots of him, drinking ale at the Of
ficers' mess, lighting cigarette, sit
ting in the cockpit of his plane, buck
ling on his parachute and what not.
Some candid camera artist had done
this to him without his knowledge.
And the fact that he was one of
the first Americans in the Air Force
to bring down two planes on the
same afternoon caught the public's
fancy. He was in mortal terror of
becoming some sort Of hero, and
he hated the word. On the whole,
however, he thought very little of
these things, busying himself with
his plane and trying to live up to it's
magnificent perfection in the air. For
this he kept training like an athlete,
smoking and drinking in moderation,
and his clear blue eyes were quick
and far-seeing.
"And now if you will be so kind
as to keep an eye on the sky, you
may soon see Hornet. I'll give this
motor another look" said David as
Wendy looked anxiously at sun
drenched clouds.
Wendy said something banal about
being glad to meet him, to hide the
fact that she already knew who he
was, and followed him back to the
motor.

asked, and continued the work. give

"Of course. But tell me, how did

not meant to ask this question. 1t

gerously, sharing more or less to the
same degree common danger, con-
stantly seeing death just around the
corner.
"I'm David Hutchinson"
She knew the name, but did not
show it, believing rightly that this
would embarrass him. Furthermore,
she knew that r. A. F. pilots were
reticent about themselves, and hated
anything that had the suspicion of
personal publicity attached to it. They
did not like to become we'll known
to the public. There was a sort of
superstition about it.
Yet David had gained a reputation
in spite of himself. A pilot cannot
shoot down enemy planes day after
day and hope to be ignored by the
newspapers, and photographs of him
appeared at regular intervals in the
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1941-05-09

nary presence of the young American
aviator was so strong as she walked
along that finally she gave up trying
to rid herelf of it. Inwardly she ad-
mitted that David had made an i'm
preston that might be lasting. But
would he last in this maelstrom
where life meant nothing? A low
groan escaped her, and after that she
walked more briskly.
From quite distance Wendy could
see a figure standing on the broad
steps of the fine old Georgian house,
"The Downs, where her mother and
father, Lord and Lady Harrowsdale,
spent most of their time. Each one
preferred "The Downs" to the London
house in Eaton Square, for their own
particular reasons, although most Of
their pleasures and pastimes were
identical.
Wendy, in her lighter moments, re-
ferred to her parents as members of
the "huntin', fishin', and ridin' " set,
typical of England. But there were
other reasons why the couple chose to
live in Kent. Lady Harrowsdale low
ed flowers, had show garden, and
was president of the local Hoe and
Trowel Club, at which she exhibited
roses and dahlias every year. Lord
Harrowsdale was tremendously fond
of the old house where his forefath-

eleven generations. He lived the life
of a prosperous country squire, attend
ed church and civic meetings regular
ly, revered the broad acres of rich
land that had come to him down the
years, saw that the land was we'll

and fished in season.

he said. 'There, that's DONE" He
had finished stopping the oil leak and
Strengthened up. So did Wendy, and
he noticed that she was nearly as tall
as he, and quite slender. He was an
even six foot, and made mental cal
culation that she must be only three
inches shorter. He liked tall girls,
especially when they had dark chest
nut hair down to their shoulders, and
dark, half smiling, half serious eyes.
It flashed through his head that this
was the type of girl he had always
most admired, only a little different,
little-he searched his mind for a
phrase-a little more so.
She seemed to expect him to say
something else in answer to her
question, and stood waiting. GA

peated. Studying, you know. Per-
fecting my French, my skiing and

white teeth and small shadows on
each cheek that he would have sworn
were not dimples. ''I'm afraid

flying than I did on French. How

boy, so Pm pretty fluent if not gram
NAUTICAL. I'd just gotten my pilots
license down at Cannes when the war
broke out; so the rest was fairly
easy"
From very far off came the drone
of airplane motors. They stopped
their conversation to listen intent
ly. David automatically picked up
his helmet, but did not don it as they
stood motionless, tense.
They're coming our way" he said
at last. Fighters. See them?" He
pointed to four black specks in the
south. One was in front, closely fol-
lowed by three others. A burst of
machine gun fire came feebly to their
ears. cts one of our fellows - in
trouble" He put on his helmet and
started to climb into the cockpit.
"Three to one against, as usual. If
he can hold out until"
The end of the sentence was drown
ed out by the starting motor. He
waved goodbye, turned, and roared
up the fairway upon which he had
landed.
The girl watched, her lips slight
ly parted in wonder, as the tiny ship
skinned off the ground, gained alti-
tude, banked sharply and headed in
the direction of the four planes now
circling madly for position not half a
mile away.
Wendy TODD motionless, gripping
her golf club so tightly that her
knuckles showed white, fascinated as
bird charmed by a snake. For the
life of her she could not have taken
her eyes from the tiny specks in the
sky, their motors whining and ma
chlne-gunS barking as they endeavOr-
ed with all their skill and daring to
destroy one another. The three Mes
serschmitts would almost certainly
bring down the lone English fighter
if David did not arrive in time. He
was climbing hard, but the four
planes were now moving off in the
other direction.
She could see the tracer bullets
from the Germans passing dangerous
ly near the R. A. F. man, and prayed
silently and intently for David to
hurry and join in the fight. He had
gained altitude and was leveling off,
motor wide open. He would be with
