Qs, lg 'Q at 9, 59 And now here 's Alva Christensen. She has three little girls. My, how she takes care of them, has a marcel put in their hair, and has a car to take them to school each morning-lest they be late. Nicholas Nelson is manager of the Dwight Theater. He always manages to have a good entertainment there. Grace Perschnick plays the accompaniment for her brother on his personal concerts. Poor Grace, she certainly was devoted to that oldest brother of her 's. And Dorothy Gantzert runs the Blue Bird Hat Shop. I must go in there tomorrow and get a new hat, and of course see Dorothy. Francis O'Brien runs the C, and A. Hand Car. He first worked as a fireman and finally got promoted. He does fine work now. He isn't the lazy person of the assembly study hall any more. Frances Butz is a writer of famous novels. She has become Well-known throughout the United States. Paul Danker has become minister of the Methodist Church in Dwight, and oh, yes, Cyril Finnegan is a veterinarian in Dwight. Elbert McCarthy is a floor walker in Marshall Fields. Ile landed that job solely because of his looks. And Donald Seidentop is a salesman for Hoover Vacuum Cleaners. I hear he is doing fine. And there is Susan Christman. I can't remember much about her, but it seems to me she is still in Florida convalescing. Dear me! It makes me feel so sad. Everyone seems scattered. How I Wish we could all get together just once again! Well, here 's Mildred Farrell. She married a farmer and they are residing east of Dwight. And here is Alice Grush. After graduation she Went to Europe to study music. We heard she became an accomplished musician. Violet Bennington, I heard lately that she sold her home and is going to live with her eldest son and take care of his children. Goodness, l haven 't cleaned the attic, but what a good time I have had.

'X-3. foams -fy' We - , -YJCICTZI vfafjzjg' ,- X Ngmucilgff Next I find Helga Smith. Yes! I remember about her, too. She married a wealthy doctor who died shortly after. Poor Helga, she didn 't know what to do with all that money, so she built an institute for stray artists. Bill Haynes, who was chosen the most popular boy in High School his senior year, is leading contractor in Peoria and specializes in new houses. Albert Fieldman became a farmer in Dwight. He has a son in D. T. H. S. who plays football, like his dad used to, way back when. VVell, here 's little Reva Hawn herself. I hear that she was in the Mack Sennett Comedies long ago, having succeeded Louise Fazenda. I really can 't remember where she is now. Lyla Kepplinger owns a smart tea shop in Joliet. They say she serves delicious lunches. Mildred Dalton, I think, is a music teacher in Chicago. After Marjorie Sterrittis high school romance did not materialize, she be- came a nurse in an Evanston hospital. Paul Armstrong fell in love with a manicurist and married her a week after having met her. At present he runs a garage and service station in Elgin, Ill., and is doing very Well. NVilson Koehnlein, with his individualistic ideas, talked so much that he is now chief barker in a side show in a one-horse circus. Little Lois Steichen became a famous hair dresser, and her new creams and lotions sell rapidly in the market. Well, and l1ere 's James Bagnell, who became chief' announcer over station B.U.G.S. He certainly has become a wise cracker. Mildred Schrotberger and Helen McConnell were the dumb bells.of that class, never had a grade lower than 90. Helen married a theater manager, and their son has become a great actor. Mildred runs an orphanage. They tell me she is very happy to have all those little boys and girls. Dorothy Dodd! She 's very famous in the Spoken Drama. Gee--1 remem- ber when they used to call them talkies, in our High School days, but the name didn 't last. Here is John Fitzpatrick. After graduating from Dwight High he went to an aviation school and soon became a famous aviator. Now, if I am not mis- taken, I think he is an instructor. Florence Miller always could dance and sing and she made a big hit on Broadway. Florence has held her age well and is still a headliner. And-Hazel Slater became a High School teacher in Campus so all the Campus children would not have to come to Dwight to school. John Erickson went out VVest and tried cowboy life. He now owns a dude ranch in VVyoming. Twenty-,five gm ff 2 fi?
