Then there appeared before me two little brownies, carrying between them a huge hook, almost as large as they were. ttWho are you? I asked, in a rather startled manner. ttWe are the messengers of the class of 1921? they replied, t'and we have come to take you with us into the year of 1931? Then, before I realized what was happening the big book lay in my lap and perched on each arm of my chair was one of the little elves. By the numerals 1921 engraved on the cover of the book and the embossed tth, I immediately realized that it must con- tain some message 01' information of our class. I sat motionless with bated breath, eagerly waiting until these little brownies managed to lift the cover of this massive volume. Much to my surprise the first thing that greeted my eyes was a photograph of a very noted lawyer whom, upon closer inspection, I recognized as no other than my old classmate Ike Smith, now known only as Lawrence J. Smith. Ilnder the picture was the information that Lawrence had won his fame because of his ability to grant. divorces. After leaving D. H. S. he had graduated from the Harvard Law School with the degree of L. L. D. and a little later had married the daughter of a rich broker 011 Wall street, and now was living the greater part of the year in New York City. Anxious to find, out the fate of the rest of my classmates we quickly turned the page and the next name that drew my attention was that of ttMai'gnerite B. Farland, Movie Aetressf, Not recognizing the name or the picture I eagerly scanned the page. In the few wouls of appreciation under the portrait I found the name Bessie Syi'on. Then it all came to me like a flash, how she had always proclaimed this profession as her goal. She was at the time the picture was taken, starring in one of the greatest productions of the famous London Film Company and one would hardly have recognized Bessie as she appeared to me then. And she had evidently become wonderfully famous. Becoming more impatient, I turned to the next page and what should I behold there but the face of Ira Harrington, a little older looking, of course, but still the same. old Ira. Upon reading the sketch concerning his work I found that he was now spend- ing his time and energy raising IVorld Prize Winning Stock on a ranch in Tillamook County. Associated in life with him was Clara Domaschofsky, one of his childhood playmates. Turning the page, I found myself gazing into the earnest, and expressive gray eyes of Anna Kraber Dickey. Coming to the conclusion that there was nothing worth while in life but love, Anna had, a year after graduation, been tied in happy wedlock With her suitor Preston Dickey. She was now living happily in a beautiful little home near Portland, Oregon. Next in line was the rather uncouth figure of a logger, and beside him in dainty at- tire was a lady whom I had known as Mildred Shaw. Then I.immediate1y recognized the merry twinkle of the man's eyes as belonging to one of 0111' SPIIiOl' DUNS, 311d a twinkle with which we had all heen familiar. This was a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Baldel'l'ee J12, Grant now being superintendent of one of the largest lumber eaming of

27 lacrismpc camps in the West. He was soon to retire from business, as he had amassed a great sum of money. . a Turning on, the title of the next page attracted my attentlon. It read thus: BIG SHOW: ttA Curiosity Unrivaled in the Whole U. S. Come and See Our Massive Man, Height Seven Feet in Stocking Feet. Curious to know what such a glaring title was doing in our class book, I read that it concerned one of our number. Charles Jost! Charles was spending his vacation in supplying a vacancy in the Barnum and Bailey Show. But his real vocation was that of a Civil Engineer. He was engineering the greatest dam building project in the worldea dam that was being built in Africa. Charles was a bachelor; the women seemingly did not interest him in the least,-such was the information I gained. Eagerly scanning the following page, I beheld the demure but earnest countenance of Alli Liswig. She was unmarried and was a very successful president of one of the government Indian training schools in Alaska. Alli was rapidly climbing the ladder of success. And the written sketch beneath the photograph hinted that she was soon to become the wife of a government official who was Suprintendent 0f the school. On the top of the following page I saw the likeness of our old executive leader, George Ramsey. George hadnit changed much, but his expression was that of a shrewd politician. George had spent one term as a representative in Congress from Oregon. and because of his distinguished service as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs he had been appointed by the President to fill the important diplomatic post as Minister to England. I was certainly proud of my old classmate. I glanced hastily through the rest of the book to see if I could find anything con- cerning Jake Kroeker. He had always interested me because of his brilliant scholar- ship. I soon found his name and picture and this is what I read: HJake Kroeker,, Eminent Scientist and Mechanic Makes New Discovery? I was unable to determine the exact name of the discovery but it was a new chemical element discovered in the region of the sun, which had miraculous curative propertiesebeing able to cure the dreaded diseases of leprosy and tuberculosis. Jake was living in France, and was mak- ing all of his experiments in the laboratories of the University of Paris. Then, taking the pages in order, the next familiar face I saw was that of Juanita Morrison. Juanita had attained the goal of her ambition. She had become Americais most noted contralto singer. She spent her time touring the continent between San Francisco and New Y01'kms0 I read. Next I learned that Homer Bursell, after graduating from O. A. C. had taken up the work of supervising a' large grain ranch in Eastern Oregon. During the winter months he was manager of a small circus, merely as a sort of avocation or pastime. Homer met his wife while with this company, but I was unable to learn her maiden name. Turning to the next page my eyes fell upon the familiar face of Max Robinson Who, in spite of the several intervening years, had not changed in the 'least. I eagerly glanced over the sketch beneath his portrait to see what he had been doing. In this sketch I found that he was holding the distinguished office of Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives in Congress and with his wife, formerly Lucia Card, was living in Washington D. C. I remembered that while Max was going to school he had determined to become a lawyer. He had graduated from a well known law school and after practicing a few years, had been sent as a representative to Congress from Oregon. He had been elected speaker of that body in 1930. The following portrait was that of a noted American dentist in Rome, 'Italy, so I discovered from the information. I did not recognize the picture as it appeared to me,- are making ' triads W 'W mud auhhhad meant so . 24mm me so, that I 111i tabookhad mysteriously dl Jim. is I had fallen ash .- 11331
