---—.... D. H. S. PERISCOPE- ------------ STREAI LINED REMINISCENCE It was the spring of 1956, Mr. Turner, rather an elderly gray haired gentlemen, sat and nodded before the fireplace as he drowsily listened to a rain squall beat upon the windows. A knock rudely dispelled drowsy throughts of the past. Opening the door, he faced the well wrapped figure of a man who enthusiastically clutched his hand. Hello, Richard, how are you? You look as young as ever. Why, hello, Sidney, come in. How glad I am to see you. Mr. Turner took Hr. Whitworth's coat and hat and drew up another chair before the fireplace. Thoughts soon turned to the uast and days of dear old Dallas High. I hear the class of '36 is going to have a big homecoming next week. My, my, Sidney, it seems but yesterday that a very excited senior class enthusiastically waved memory books around commenting uoon the various ambitions which had been attached, either seriously or light heartily, to their names.

Helen told me that this output could be increased 68 % were a reduction of deaths among the animals possible. The loss of life is terrific because of a mysterious tendency of the head caretaker, Albert Klassen, to talk them to death. Lois Hughes, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals and Rene Fritz, president of the Oregon Humane Society, became horrified at Klassen's cruelty to nhe animals. They demanded his resignation (knowing him to be an incurable talker). Perfectly horrible, Richard, I suppose you had heard that Alma Hiebert became a missionary to Borneo,

D. H. S. PERISCOPE She had not been heard of since, until Robert Conwell, famous explorer end globe trotter arrived In America, after a short visit in Borneo. It seems that on his arrival there, he was taken to a wedding of Alma and a local chieften. However his stay was very brief as he barely escaped becoming the wedding feast—juicy morsel.' Mr. Turner reached 0 tp an ..end stable near by and passed Mr. Whitworth a box of chocolates. The Crider-Joslin breach of promise suit is rivaling the Lindberg case of twenty years ago in oubliclty. Betty Crider, successful president of the Crider Sporting Goods, Inc. (Chain Stores) is claiming one million dollars breach of promise, alleging that crooner Wal-ter Joslin has fallen for La Vonne Carr, who co-starred with him in the latest screen hit, Thrills and Heart Throbs. Aden Chapmen, famous silvertongued orator of high school days, is abely defending his chum. Haj hai hai I Just remembered hearing about Jack George, chortled Mr. Whitworth. Why, what has he done? sked Mr. Turner taking another chocolate. Jack is adopting redhaired orphans in a Herculean effort to replace certain lost auburn locks of high school days. He has employed Esther Boman to care ,for the children. ., ’vo men laughed until the tears ran down their faces and they were compelled toemploy their handkerchiefs to dry their aces. Finally they settled bock into easy chairs and released their aching sides. Mr. Turner broke the silence. 'Stanley Holloway ■and Lewis' Detzel have ormad a partnership in a large night-club in New York. Rushing business hasbeen sustained since they employed Ethelyne Gaymo.n, famous night-club singer. It is rumored that Ethelyne is to marry Fred McFetridge, bouncer of the establishment. Mae Campbell married a very rich banker in New York. After his death six months later, Mae and Bill Glesbrecht married. It will be remembered that Bill's ambition in high school days was to marry a rich widow.
