20 THE HOUR GLASSf Aunt: Yes, Wlesley Bahler, the famous scientist who just discovered a new species of bedbugs. Another member is Doris Brown, now Mrs. VVilliam Cooper, who was formerly a Latin teacher in Albany High School. VVesley was valedictorian of our class and Doris, salutatorian, and now their brightness is an aid to them in making out the Regents. Too bad for the poor kids who have to try them! Oh, and here's an old snapshot of Boo Aldrich and Nelson Hogan. Wlhen they were in school Boo was all wrapped up in Clara and Nelson was gone over Catherine Rich. Boo is an All-American basketball star and Nelson is pitcher for the Yankees Niece: VVhat a pretty landscape drawing! Aunt: Isn't it? Margaret Coon, the well-known artist painted it for me. Margaret VVillis was another member of our class talented in that line. She is now head of the department of drawing at Albany. I re- member how popular she was when project notebook covers were to be painted. Niece: Vllhom do you suppose I saw today, Auntie? Parkie, the great aviator wl1o just completed a non-stop flight around the world. Aunt: Donald Park was another member of my class and is the head of the Continental Aeroplane Company. Niece: VVho are these in this big picture? Aunt: That is an old class picture. Edward Carey, who was our very quiet but capable president, turned out to be a chemist. I read in the paper that he almost blew the whole works up the other day. The. tall boy next is Jerome Doyle who has gained his desire in dancing his way to VVall Street where he is a Big Butter and Egg Man. Sitting in front of him are Lois Dusett and Alma Grinton who are now Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. VVatson, respectively. They looked as nice at their double wedding as they always did in school. Carlyle French invested money in oil, and made a million. He always did have good luck in such good matters. He is settled in Scotland so he can save his money. Parce Hannan has a large planta- tion in the south. He is interested in VVrigley's Chewing, Gum Corporation on Long Island. The members of the class prophesied he would one day be champion gum-chewer. Well, he has done the next best thing. Raymond King, who use-d to be so quiet has reached the heights of Secretary of State. Norma Pickett and Louise Land are his secretaries. D-o gentlemen prefer blondes? Evidently Ray does! Phil Price, who used to be so absent- minded, and never arrived any place on time, is now a great surgeon. Let's hope he d0esn't have a relapse and leave his knife in the patient. I don't think we need worry: he has outgrown that. Eleanor Emrich is his head nurse and as such she has gained great fame. Jennie Nicosia is his secre- tary. Allan Steffen, that curly-headed boy, is now a renowned cartoonist. Lucky boy! He fell heir to a fortune. A second Sid Smith! His capable secretary is Lillian Goetzman. She thinks Allan has good taste in picking out diamonds. They are going to be married next month. Hollis Warner is as much in demand as a mechanical engineer. At present he is building a big bridge, said to be the largest in the world, across the canal in Fairport. Mabel Adams, as owner of a hot dog stand, has found the way to Johnnie's heart through his stomach. Irene Bauman, as sweet and cheerful as always, is Dean of St. Mary's College. Under her direction, the school has become the most popular in the country. All the girls just love her. Emily Dwyer has reached the heights as a pianist. Her line of Stage-door .Iohnniesn is a mile long. Mary Finnegan teaches in Kendall 'and is the wife of Fred
