Today we started our summer advertising cam- paign. The Bexley Press sent a representa- tive down to the office to get our copy for an ad , I happened to be in, and who do you think he was? Allen Kerr! He has gotten thin since he left Bexley High. He misses the crackers and pretzels which used to be smuggled into English. Our advertis- ing manager was busy so we had quite a talk together. He said that Red, due to the influence of Miss Mathiott, finally went into Social Service work. April 5.-At the advice of Allen I went to see Muriel Jones today. She is an ex- clusive dress designer, so exclusive in fact, that this is the first time I have heard of her. I did succeed in selling her a Lincoln. April 20.-Last week I was down in the southern part of the state on business and in one of the towns in which I stopped I heard of a chatauqua program which was being given then. Alice Reed was dated for that night. She has become a very popular reader, so I stayed to hear her and afterwards we had a fine talk about old times. She is as talkative as ever and told me about most of our old classmates and I intend to look them up. She said that Amelia Cavey is a play- ground supervisor. Also her old friend, Sarah Polster, has been recently appointed state librarian. May l.-Today was a typical Spring day. I had Spring fever, so after a short morn- ing's work I decided to attend the May-day festivities in the beautiful garden of Delores Sec-kel's Dancing Academy. Mildred Herr's oldest daughter was one of the solo dancers. Milly was very well pleased with her, she is as jolly and good-natured as ever. May 8.-I seem to be getting the habit of running into old friends. I met Bill Benzin on the street today. He informed me that his newspaper had nearly gone to smash. In fact, things had been so bad that he had been compelled to hire James McCann, an efficiency expert. Jimmie's first job was to reprimand Harold Lavely, the treasurer, for donating the paper's money to Red for his welfare work. May 10.-Florence Harris dropped in to- day. Said that she had just been relieved from a very difficult case at the hospital. Wilma Jones had an explosion at her chem- ical research laboratory. She was badly in- jured but is getting along fine now, and I am going to see her tomorrow evening. May 11.-VVent to see VVilma. Elizabeth Burkart was there also. Just as we expected, she is a lawyer and is going to give a lecture soon on VVoman's Place in Politics. She is still interested in dogs and asked me to go to the Dog Show which is being sponsored by tl1e Columbus Kennel Club. May 12.-The Dog Show was fine. The prize Pekencse was owned and exhibited by Carl Weiifenbach. I made a sale today to Ida Ford. She is teaching in a country school and needs a machine to make the trip to and from school. While I am on the sub- ject of schools, I must record the fact that Fred Sauers is visiting the high schools of the country as a champion typist. Lucile keeps his typewriter in fine condition. May 13.-Ever since Delores' May-day dances I have been wondering who did the wonderful landscape work for her, and today I learned that Dan Sheatsley did all of itg he is a very successful gardener, I guess. May 20.-I tuned my radio in this evening and heard 'that Carl Phalor is a slick sleuth -he is after sound waves from Mars. Bex- ley High's Alumni reception takes place June 8. I won't miss that because our class is going to have a reunion since it is the twen- tieth anniversary of our graduation. Ethel Dunlop's home economic classes end VVed- nesday so she can be there, too. Jane Mc- Kinley is the only member of the class that ean't come. She's still in India engaged in mission work. June 9.-The reception was a grand suc- cess. It was great to see all the old bunch together again. Even Mr. Beck was there, still young in spirit. Of course, Delpha Byall insisted that we sing the old class song. Del has become one of the most popu- lar club women in the VVest. We all con- gratulated Sabina Petzinger on her success in the Olympic games. She is now world

They think that none's so smart as they, They toss their heads and proudly stare, At every little Freshie's plight, To contradict them none would dare, Though Sophomores are seldom right. But when we Sophs were Juniors grown, An inventory of our brains Had shocked us so we would refrain. The boat-rides and the dances were here, But all over all too soon, And then we launched on our career, As Seniors-ho, what a boon. The Senior year was very sweet, Oh, class, you're all of To be with you 'tis a treat, You, whom we call our And as our ship's about to sail We've one last little wo Though many things no doubt will fail, We will be to B.
