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.
