Smiur Prnphzsg It was a bright day in June 1928, when I stepped off one of the trains of the New York-Sulphur Springs-and-Upper Sandusky Rapid Transit Co., Iair lineI - hot air-into dear old Bucyrus. One cannot imagine the joy experienced on such an occasion. I returning to the home of my childhood, after twenty years of experiences, pleasant and otherwise, my time being devoted entirely to my business, for I, the President of the Vacual Horse Cleaning Machine Co., was a busy man. The first familiar sight to come to my eyes was an old familiar face, a face of my High School days, the face of Fredlk Blicke. There he sat, the dear old scout, upon one of those high buggies Cyou know like Rockerviltlsl a silk hat cocked upon one side of his head, and surrounded by a bevy of coachmen. Our recognition was mutual, and warm were our greetings after such a lengthy separation. I accepted his kind invitation to spend a few days with him, climbed into the buggy and we started on our journey. There I sat holding tight, fearing constantly we would upset while Blicke was chatting to me like a magpie. At length we arrived at my friends beautiful mansionea home equip- ed with all the luxuries obtainable. A neat little Egure appeared at the steps-I turned and looked at Blicke-he smiled-and looking again I recognized Hilda, the dear little Fluffy RufHes of l08 days. It was then I learned, talthough it was not much of a surprise to meJ that she signed her name uMrs. Frederick Blickefl You all remember what a case they had in their High School days. After they put the children to bed, we strolled out upon the porch and there, seated in the beautiful moonlight, we began recalling dear old High School days, and discussing the fates of our companions. Frederick explained how he amassed his pondrous . fortune. After many years of patient chemical research he had discovered a compound by which the warts could be removed from pickles. Now throughout the world pickles look like paw-paws, but taste like pickles. I had often wondered at this great change but never before accused my friend of such a benefit to humanity. At length our conversation drifted to llDeacon,, Sears, the one time sport of the class. HDeaconl, has somewhat reformed the began his reformation by resigning his job as Sunday School Secretaryl, and he and his wife Lois-you all remember Lois Kellereare, running a Childreifs Home in Galion, and it is rumored they have met with decided success. Alice Moore, the only heir to the fortune of her father, married a prince, and now wears princess dresses constantly. INote: Arthur Nef'tr is still at largeJ The case of Carl Schuster on Rosa Kraus came to to a happy ending-Carl 0n proposing for the u23,l time was accepted and they now live in a little cottage in the east end. A great change has come over Carl for married life has subdued his hasty spirit and those curls, those beautiful curls, have entirely disappeared. Orpha, who has made a great IIhiE, in comic opera, is a soubrette of no mean ability. uDixie Seeger is a cute little barber and as of old though he has been married twice, still persists in winking at the fairies. Peggiel, Johnston is called the HMerry Widow. , , She married a millionairels son from the East and was married but a short time when her husband died. Margaret then moved back to Bucyrus and spends her money royally. 19

think, Elsie is teaching Latin in the Bucyrus High School, and from what her pupils say, she assigns lessons almost as long as Miss Bracher used to do. hWiggle Jolly died after a short protracted illness. For years he grieved over a sorrow never revealed. His physician claims death was caused by supersaturation 0f the haemoglobical corpuscles -plasmodic pressure -caused generally by disappointment in love. Stella Barth has won renown and fame as a musician. She is now studying abroad, but will return home before long, where she has accepted a flattering position at the Orphium. Edna Vollrath is at the head of the Suffragettes of America; she still persists in thux Femina Factif, but perhaps has forgotten that hvarium et mutabile semper hfeminat h Blicke darted into the house and soon returned with a neatly bound volume, which he handed to me. I glanced at it, and in the moonlight I could distinguish in big gold letters hEvqutionf, by S. Ernest Neff. Fred,k explained that Ernestk greatest theory tperhapsa was that girls in their original state were birds; but he volunteered that if such were the case aremarkable change had taken place. . Then we awoke from our dream, the dreams Which carried us back to our High School days, a dream which had carried us back to the happiest days of our life; tears were in our eyes for we knew these happy days had passed -passed forever.
