where she sang before the President of Germany, England and lfrancc. She made her first appearance in the Anderson Home Theater where her singing was heard by a Spaniard, who advised her to take up training in Spain. She took his advice and spent three weeks in Spain. I ani so glad for both Edwin and Marjorie, but what of lflelen? You know I always envied her, her red curls. Did she 'settle down,' or did she re- ceive her pension papers, or is she the dentist's wife ? . You can never guess what she did. She got her certificate and after teaching several years went to Chico Normal. There she spent two years. lVe thought she was waiting for lllanchard to get his dentist's degree. but no, the cruel-hearted girl deserted him on the night of his graduation and flew into the arms of a rich old man of eighty to be his darling. In 1925. three years later, he died, leaving her heiress to ten million dollars. Now with the help of Mrs. Stone she has established a home for hoboes and Chinamen. Blanchard remains true to her and it is thought by some that she will accept him at some future time. And, oh yes, I suppose you would like to know what became of Gerald. You and he were always such good friends-well he entered U. C. and later went to Stanford. I-Ie wrote a book on the treatment of mosquitoes and became so famous that he was sent as California Senator. That was not high enough, he ran for President twice and was defeated both times, and now is owner of a big prune and dairy ranch where he and 'Tiny' live. XrVell, do he and 'Tiny' get along well together? 1 smilingly asked. Oh yes, once in a while. I went out to spend a day there last year and they only had three quarrels-I left before noon. Iiflary and Otis were there visiting them, having just returned from their honeymoon .which had lasted three years. They had been to China, Japan, and had toured liurope. Mary was a renowned dancer before she married Otis. Otis is also a very important personage, having been Mayor of Anderson for ten years. when he resigned, finding out that he and Mary really loved each other. They have a beautiful residence in Anderson where they intend to reside. Otis was a grammar school teacher for several years. Becoming tired of teaching he went to U. C., from which he graduated in ten years with a high school cer- tificate. He was principal of A. U. H. S. with fifteen assistant teachers for two years, and was then elected Mayor, explained Governor Davis. W'ell, well, isn't that fine? lflut Otis and Mary, who ever thought of them. I thought Otis and Laura Vtfalton would be married. They were engaged when I left here. Wfhat happened? I asked. Oh, Laura turned out to be a man-hater and is now a second Mrs. llankhurst, striving to get Wfoman-suffrage for Germany. VVhy, I didn't know Laura could speak German. How did she learn ? XWell. said Arthur, she took a course in a girls' seminary under Pearl Graham. You remember her? She was our 'Soph' class teacher. I guess I do. But I thought Laura was a teacher. i'She did teach for two years but a rich uncle died and left her two million dollars so she started out to get an education, after which she carried on her life work. She no longer needed Otis. All she was going to marry him for was so she wouldn't have to teach all her life. Twenty

By ROX'CIiCilf'l' JXNDIZRSON, '17, jimmy McCan. the star reporter of a popular New 'York magazine, had become what he longed to be, a war correspondent. At this particular minute he was dismounting from his motorcycle with which he had been provided for fast traveling. Hang the thing, wonder what ails it now, muttered jimmy. He had been having exceedingly bad luck. He had left the camp of the reserves that morning for the Allies' firing line. The only knowledge he had of his iron steed was how to turn on and 06 the gasoline. jimmy circled around his steed but could see nothing wrong. 'He finally lay down on his back with his head under the machine and began turning and twisting every little thing he could find. After much language and time he twisted the right thing. But jimmy didn't know his steed was ready to travel until about a half an hour after he had fixed it. During this time he had sworn he would not stop until he had murdered the man that had sent him such a junk wagon. At length jimmy got started and in trying to break a few records somehow ran his steed into a rock and was sent dying into a bank of clay. liut this happened several miles nearer the firing line, so jimmy only cussed a few min- utes and went on. But in going on he took most of the clay bank with him. Soon the clay began to harden and Jimmy became unbearably uncomfortable. His store of expletives had run out and so he was denied the pleasure of relieving his feel- ings in that manner. Jimmy was gritty and stuck to his machine, for the simple reason he couldn't get off, until he reached the first line of entrenclunents. There he was pulled off his affectionate steed, at the same time losing part of his trousers. and was led before the officer in charge. The officer, after he had looked over Jimmy's passports, regarded him Twenty-two
