Radio mirror (July-Dec 1947)

We'll invite everyone who wants to come — everyone on our side. I've asked your mother and she said okay. Your Dad said he'll take all the furniture out of the house and lock up the refrigerator, but I think he was just trying to make a joke. We have to eat. And they'll want to dance and play ping-pong and you'll make your first big speech — " "Dexter — " Corliss moved a fraction of an inch closer to him. It was moonlight again and the porch swing was a very romantic place. "Dexter — can't we forget about the campaign for a moment? Let's just talk." For a second there was a flicker of eager interest in Dexter's face. Then it died. He yawned and stretched and got up. "Sorry, Corliss. Got to go. Got to get up early in the morning to start work on the party. And tonight I've got to find out what square's been painting mustaches on your campaign pictures!" Drearily Corliss went to bed. The morning brought no ray of sunshine and she drearily took herself off to school. But in the middle of biology class, she began to sit up and hope. Parties meant fun. Parties meant boys asking her to dance. Parties meant new dresses! MINNIE!" She had bumped into her campaign worker in the hall after class. "Please come with me. I simply have to buy a new dress for the party and I know the one I want, 'it's in Simmons' window and Daddy said I could have one last week when I asked him. It's utterly a dream. Let's go now — we can skip lunch periods and — " "You'll do no such thing, Corliss Archer." Minnie squelched her, firmly. "You can't afford to have a new dress for tonight. We have to think of the women's vote, you know. And all the girls will simply hate you in a new dress." "Oh !" wailed Corliss. "You mean I have to be there tonight and give my speech in an old rag that everybody's seen a million times? Oh, I can't stand it!" She fled into an empty classroom and flung herself into a seat, bowing her head on the desk. It was too much! Never again would she, Corliss, dazzle the eyes of girls and men with the latest creation from Simmons. Never again could she sweep into a room and hear the startled gasps from other envious girls. No — from now on she would be a drab, dowdy figure, bent and worn from running back and forth between faculty offices and committee meetings and cafeteria troubles — "What's the trouble, Corliss?" Corliss raised sad, tragic eyes to the sympathetic ones of Miss Fraeckel, the drama teacher. Corliss had the feeling she would like to throw herself on Miss Fraeckel's shoulders and tell her the whole story — but she checked herself. It would never do. It would never do to tell a teacher you didn't want to be Student Body President just because you wanted a new dress! "I guess you're tired, Corliss." Miss Fraeckel supplied her own explanation. 'All this campaigning is strenuous work. I was a little sorry to hear you were running for office, you know. There's a part in the Founders' Day play the school is putting on that would just suit you — you were the only one "I could think of who could wear The Scalp Perspires . . . your hair collects and holds odors and dirt.
