? 9. HSS 0 1 .. -ii rop ecy 9 ee 1599 Q 9 , After being away for Hfteen years on a tour of the Old World, looking for the Missing Link, I returned to New York, tired and worn out. Sitting in my home overlooking New York City, I began to think of my old classmates of 1929 at Flagler, Colorado. I wondered where they all were, and finally decided to ask Weldon Todd, who was an announcer over one of New York's radio stations, to ask over the radio if all the class of '29 would communicate with either him or with me, as to where they were and what they were doing. I heard from no one for three days and thought perhaps they had all forgotten me or did not care to write to me. But finally I received a letter from Jeanette Price, who was president of a well known Busi- ness School at Dallas, Texas. I always expected something great from Jeanette, but I thought probably she would be a poet. I was much surprised to find that Clifford Farquhar was running an oyster canning factory in New Orleans and that Gilbert Bernard was a traveling salesman for his company. I was certainly surpris- ed at Gib, I thought he would be a broker on Wall Street. The next morning I had a caller whom I recognized as Lucille Thompson. She was now a great portrait artist and asked me to sit for a portrait. She, of course, wanted to know all about the class and I pro ised I would let her know whatever I found out. From Lu- cille Illearned that Ada Johnson and Cleo Probasco had gone to Africa as Missionaries. Ruth Jackson was in Denver running a fashion shop and dress making establishment, and was called Madam Rossettef' Julia Wanczyk was her head designer. Richard Jorgensen was a confirmed bachelor and also a hard boil- ed college mathematics professor whom all the students at Yale fear- ed. Marjorie Wilson, our class entertainer, was making a great suc- ! cess in the Wonder Circus as a snake charmer.
