SENIOR ROOMER 21 Malcom Phelps is a lineman for a trans-Atlantic wireless company. Vera Bergren is a “grandma” of the approved variety. Her principal occupation is assuring her grandson, Reginald, aged two, that there really is a Santa Claus. Grace Jackson and Frances Beckett, immediate- ly after leaving E. II. S. took a solemn vow to remain single. They are now operating a fox farm on the outskirts of Nome, Alaska. Marshall McDougle and Leo Miles are wealthy counterfeiters. They received their training as janitors in the U. S. Mint at Philadelphia. Alice von Merveldt is a stenographer. She chews each of the Wrigley’s three styles with equal favor—Juicy Fruit on the left side, Spear mint on the right, and Doublemint with great agil- ity in either jaw. In fact she has become quite a connoisseur of good gum. Gladys Hawkins and Laura English are famous movie actresses. Dorothy Buss married a multi-millionaire. She now devotes her time to registering ennui at all the large social functions at the pleasure resorts. Victor Bunch is the American Ambassador to France. He leads the world in the consumption of “Old Crow, Bottled in Bond.” He patronizes Car)- Lyon’s bar in Paris. Catherine Kinsey, Mabel Baldwin, Linnie Jim DuLaney, Hazel Eagle, Velma Gholston, Ruby Mc- Allister and Clara Sharp recently completed their tour around the world in a small steam yacht. I la Wyman, Helen Zeidler, Pauline Gilbert, Ce- cil Smith, Anna Thompson, Ruth Mount, and Amy Maxey all ultra-modern authoresses, are touring the South Sea Islands in search of local color so that they might continue to contribute to the liter- ature of the world. Corwin Dick has capitalized his idea of philan- thropy. He built several colleges and other insti- tutions of higher learning and is now reaping a fortune selling mid-night oil to the students at a monopoly price. The Class of ’22 is particularly well represented in the journalistic world. Kenneth Cosby and Louise Schroeder are part- ners in matrimony and also in ownership of the Pumpkin Morning Clarion. Ima Pennebaker is editor and Herbert Bondur- ant, business manager of the Snappy Stories Mag- azine. Lucy Ann Babcock and Helen Butts have suc- ceeded Captain Billy as editors of the Whiz Bang. Helen Railsback and Hazel Church are the guid- ing geniuses of the Police Gazette. After all the members of the class had been ac counted for we still could find no trace of Sanford Babcock. We particularly wanted to account for him, he being president of the class. We shared our desire with the sheriff of Sumner County, Kansas, Cook County, Illinois, the Royal North- western Mounted Police, and the Gendarmes all over France. No trace has been found of him, as yet. Now I have no apologies to offer because, in fact, none are needed. If you don’t like the write-up you got, you can just put in your com plaint to Miss Witcher as sponsor of the class— and see how much good it does you.

His discovery has revolutionized the pugilistic industry. Hayward Wright, boxer and heavyweight cham- pion, was, and is at the present time, making a theatrical tour through the Irish Free State. His sparring partner is one Lucille Ruiter, who it might also he said, is his partner in life. Marguerite Clarke, Ethel Shaw and Ruth Muzzy are active advocates of “Rights for Women”. Their most recent triumph was obtaining the rigid to vote in the South Sea Islands. This makes the third country they have induced to grant to wo- men their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; the others being Patagonia and Li- beria. Henryetta Rebman started in this world with the idea of maintaining herself in a position of single blessedness, as a school teacher. But what can a poor girl do in opposition to the combined efforts of George Miller and Dan Cupid? Miss Rehrnan became Mrs. Miller in June, 1951. During the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 1951, Charles Schaeffer led the state of Arkansas in the production of cauliflowers. Ilis wife, formerly Miss Catherine Compton, was a large factor con- tributing to her husband’s success. By virtue of his store-made clothes, Robert liar rison has, for a number of years maintained his position as Beau Brummel of Union City. Grace Reynolds, his wife, takes great pride in the ap- pearance of her life mate. Ralph Lamb, however, is disputing Fat’s right to his title and a period of competition is expected. Betting is 5 to 3 in favor of the present Arrow Collar Man, around “Ruth Palmer Beauty Emporium and Barber Shop.” John Calhoun is known the country over as “The Man of Multiple Marriages”. His first mat- rimonial attempt was with Agnes Flippen. This resulted in a divorce because she was too pugilis- ticallv inclined. He next married Ethel Molmike; but the mental strain of distinguishing between her and Edith was too much for his mentality. Olga Powell was the next of his known wives. Six months after the marriage John was arrested for bigamy. Leona Johnston was the third party in the case. While serving his three-vear term in McAlester Mr. Calhoun met and married Eliza - lK th Ping. This last embarkation it is hoped, will be more permanent. Bernice Cobbs and Anita Frerking, daring avia- tresses, recently shattered all altitude records, at the Ariel Frolic in Los Angeles. Paul Sterba and Morris Simonson are doing a thriving haberdashery business on Fifth Avenue, New York City. Helen Hicks and Edythe Witcher arc operating a chicken (poultry) ranch in the Hawaiian Islands.

MED A SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The El Reno chapter of the Meda Scholarship Society was organized in November, 1921. The grades of Sophomores, Juniors and Sen- iors are averaged for the time they have been in school and if two of the grades are above ninety and two above eighty, for every year, they are eligible to membership. About forty students qualified during the first semester. Miss Berg was our sponsor until toward the end of the year, her duties became so strenuous that she was forc- ed resign her leadership, and Miss Eubank kind- ly consented to assume responsibilities. At the first meeting of the year, the following officers were elected: President--------------------Emmett Thompson Vice-President -................. Corwin Dick Secretary......................Helen Hanson Treasurer----------------------------------Ima Pennebaker The purpose of the society is to promote high standards of scholarship, and has provided from its membership several of the contestants to the Interscholastic Meet at Norman. We have had a very interesting and enjoyable year and we hope that our chapter has been es- tablished on such a firm basis that its work will be continued for many years to come. The Meda Society was established with the idea of accomplishing work and therefore we made it one of our rules to have only one social affair a semester and this was made the occasion of our semester initiations. We have had only two but they were worth the abstinence from other affairs. About the first of March, a Junior Meda So- ciety was organized under the auspices of the senior organization. The qualifications for Junior Meda are the same as for the other organization and the society has about seventy-five interested, enthused and peppy members, who promise to make it a success and an inspiration to all students to keep up their grades and “get in”.
