Till-: K10V Page Twenty-One is playing l»a 11 with Detroit this year and is showing a wonderful batting average. Of course you are well aware that her husband is coaching Indiana University this year. Their friends, Coleman, Vass Co., are staging some real comedy on the screen this year. At Pittsburgh I saw Ned Lowther in the bug house. The poor fellow had gone crazy and was still trying to find his brown and white sweater. I asked him if he remembered ine and he said, “Sure I do Napoleon, don't you remember the day I killed C. C. HarshThe guide says he will recover if he pulls through the first 100 years, on bread ami water. At Philadelphia I met George Stiefel, a prominent manufacturer, making saw dust pumps, lumber stretchers, second hand dish towels and numerous other useful articles, lie also owns the Stiefel’s Dry Goods Stores throughout the land. I had to journey down to Washington, D. C., in order to see Beulah Latson, the society queen of that place. She refused to marry cither Phil Davis or Berton Swanger, but married some South American Tri-State student who has a lot of jack. I got to New York in time to see a fight shown in Madison Square Garden. The athletes were Battling Johnson vs. Kid Mor-ley. Howard had quit the farm and is making big money now. He is very popular in the society circle here in New York City. After reaching home that night I was very tired over this four day trip, but felt I certainly had spent my time enjoyably and profitably. Mr. Allman, you should see my home here, and such fine neighbors. On my right lives Mary Pogue Arnold and she has the nicest little boy, the little chap told me the other day he heard his mother and father talking about the time they got held up at the Angola fair grounds, and how her father hunted her up at 5:30 in the morning, after the A. 11. S. Senior Class play. Now don't forget to come over and see me the first time you can. My wife is always home in the morning, and 1 am at my office in the afternoons. Come we will take a little vacation on the beach and will show you how we people live here in the largest city in the world. Sincerely yours, MARION'PILLSBURY.

Class Prophecy Pn ge Twenty THE KKY New York, City, July 1, 1931. Prof. H. B. Allman: Indianapolis, Indiana. Dear Friend: I read in this afternoon’s paper about you being promoted to “Superintendent of Public Schools in Indiana.” I am sending you my hearty congratulations and sure wish you the best of luck. Now I shall relate to you the experience I have had in finding all my old graduating classmates of 1921. Last Monday I decided to go on this search so I left my business in Wall Street in the hands of Frederic Graf, who, by the way, is a very capable business man. lie is president of the Merchants Trust Corporation here in upper New York. You know he married Helen Morton, of Metz, and left poor Aileen an old maid. lie is blessed with seven children so far. The airplane in which I came over made one 15 minute stop between here and Angola, this was at Buffalo. To my surprise I found Mark Sanders going down the Niagara Falls in a barrel in order to reduce and be as thin as he was in the A. II. S. lie said he had had many chances to marry but inclined to be free and single so he may continue to be a society king. When I went to pay my fare, who should it be but lvene Butz, the conductor, who had married Harold Garrett, the aviator of this plane. This is their permanent business and they are very prosperous. In the back of this bird is a pen where they shut their children up to keep them out of trouble, cute kids, too. They informed me that Wanda Fast had married Kenneth Reese and they were running a hair dressing establishment at Ellis Island, apparently Wanda also likes the east. We landed on the old ball grounds in Angola and took the street car up town. To my delight 1 sat down beside a lady who happened to be Helen Cline, she was on her way to her summer home on Fox Lake where she has a beautiful park that is a wonderful addition to Angola. This park is to Angola the same as White City or Riverside is to Chicago. As we looked out the street car window 1 saw a sign which read. ADDED ATTRACTION TONIGHT HAZEL EASTERDAY (in person) FAMOUS NATIVE TOE DANCER. Also Plays Roll of LADY MacBETH in Opera Helen said we were very fortunate in getting her to come to such a small city and she was merely doing it in honor of the A. II. S. By this time I was very hungry so went in a restaurant where the sign read “Ruth Cook's Busy Bee. Open all Hours.” Ruth was looking fine but was much fatter and a little gray. She says she is president of the Katinka Cooks Union. Before I was through eating in came Clyde Spade, who has married Dorothy Myers ami they were ptaying at the Croxton Opera House this week in Mutt Jeff. Clyde has h:s full growth now. They ship him around in a special box car. He has two children and he calls them Rake and Hoe. I met Senator Boyers in the new Court House. She is up for reelection on the Socialist ticked. Beulah is a very brilliant woman you know, and 1 think she will get my vote. She said she thought Abraham Lincoln was right on the slavery |iiestion and also claims the scientist should learn the atomic theory. Listen Teddy, after an all days search 1 found only one more class mate and that was ex-convict Charles Crain, who has turned over a new leaf. He is now Reverend Crain of the Angola Christian church. He is (). K. except a few troubles with the females of his congregation. The following morning I took the inter-urban to Metz and here I found Ralph Fast, the Idol of the West, working out an invention in chemistry to be used by thriving children. You know, no doubt, that Ralph was the first one to have a successful perpetual motion machine. On my way back on the train, I stopped at Detroit, where I saw Leah Leininger. She
