There in large print I read: “Harold Struthers. the champion of the I . S.. will match his skill with Monsieur Rochell; $25 a ticket; come early to avoid the rush.” I wanted to go, but thot I’d buy a new suit for the occasion; so I proceeded to a modiste’s shop. A small clerk with black eyes came forward to wait on me, and, to my great surprise, 1 found she was Daisy Green. She said she w ould rather clerk than spend her life on Mars. The next morning I decided to go to I»ndon and then back to the United States; but, reading in the morning paper that Miss Emma Groom, the superintendent of the Paris schools, was going to give a lecture on “How Freshmen Should Care for Their Books,” I decided to go and hear it. As she stepped on the platform I noticed she had that same sweet smile, but that fourteen years had changed her locks of hair to silver. That evening 1 left for London, and the next morning 1 went to the bank to get a draft cashed. A very pleasant lady was standing in the cashier’s booth; I at once recognized her to be my old friend, Anna Gormley. She said she was staying with Rev. Wilbur Wages and his wife. The next morning I took the steamer for the U. S. 1 regretted very much to leave my old friends behind. The steamer had not been plowing homeward very many hours before I met another old acquaintance. He appeared all of a sudden, with a beautiful young girl walking by his side, and who should it be but Francis Freezen, the wealthy steel magnate. He told me he had recently married the noted English beauty, Lady Nancy of Devonshire, and that they were returning to their native country. Now I am back in the United States again. In Boston I had some difficulty in crossing Broadway: the traffic police helped me across and who should it be but John Udlock, my esteemed schoolmate. I took the train for Chicago and on the way I met Douglas Armstrong. He said he was a traveling salesman for a broom factory. I asked him if he knew anything about our old school friends and he told me that Dale Dudley was a piano tuner for the Stark Grand Piano Company, and Miley Keough had settled down on a small farm in Wisconsin. I stopped at Cairo, 111., to see Alice Campbell, Orphia Miller and Dorothy Martin: they had a private school for girls. Prof. Ward teaches and Bessie Payne teaches public speaking, and Florence Sanyh vocal and instrumental music. While there I had a dreadful toothache and was told to go to Dr. Mullnix, the prominent young dentist. While in his office I met Messrs. McAllister and McFall; they told me they were selling a preparation to make the hair curl. If you look at their hair you will know that it does as advertised. The following day I went to see the great baseball game of the season. While there 1 saw Clarence Hanson. He told me that Carroll Vannice and Albert Barber were members of the Sells Floto circus and they were fine tight-rope walkers. He said he was teaching algebra in Nashville. At St. Louis we met Clinton Anderson. He told me of his cold-cream and perfume factory. He said that Riehwood Coppel was elected superintendent of agriculture, and that Henry Tupper was chef at the Hotel Midard. At Denver I met Harry Ashley, a traveling salesman for the Brown Mousetrap Company. My next stop was Grand Junction, and it was sure nice to get back home again. I will finish my nurse’s course and then go to Paris to help Dr. Collier in her work. —Neva Collier and Barbara Sullivan.

Class Prophecy of 1935 SS I was traveling thru France in 1935, I heard that one of my school chums from our English class of 1921 had taken suddenly ill with appendicitis and had to have an operation. 1 decided I would go to see her before the operation was performed. I hastened to Paris, and as I arrived I inquired for the Collier Allen Hospital, for that was the one she was to be taken to. I was delayed in trying to find it among so many high buildings. I at last reached the four-story edifice of white stone, and rushed up the.steps fearing it was too late. I was told they were just preparing for the operation, and I hastened to the operating room, knocked, and the door slowly opened. I rubbed my eyes to see if I saw just right, for before me stood Neva Collier and her head nurse, Dorothy Allen. On leaving the hospital, Dr. Collier insisted on our spending the evening together; so we decided to go to the I a Paris; Marguerite Schaefer, the prima donna, was going to sing. As we alighted from the taxi, I glanced across the street and read in glaring headlines. Here tonite, Madam Masell Frances Lumilda McAllister, the wonderful toe dancer, and Monsieur J. I ogan. I grabbed my companion’s arm and said, Surely that can’t be the Lumilda and John of our 1921 English class. Dr. Collier said she didn’t know; so we decided to hear the great prima donna first and then see the dancers later. Yes, they were the same Lumilda and John, only somewhat older. The next morning, while sitting in my boudoir I heard the newsboy cry, Extra. Extra, Extra!— the Great—’’ I didn’t wait to hear any more: I A. ' “ M I1I.E MERERS Maybelle Hoel-Ross Business Col.

Senior Short Story SilDLEY Callahan, William’s son, married Mack Donald's daughter, Manzanita, called Mantey ’ for short. Immediately after the wedding they set off on a honeymoon of happiness and Bliss in Ridley's new Mitchell car. They intended to drive to Dexter, the next town, where they would spend the Knight. The roads were Good for a few miles, but they finally came to a Marsh. This served as a Barr-ier to their further progress. They stopped the car and made plans what to do. A moment later a Rig (Rigg) came along and they retognized in it their friend Hampson Gilpatrick. He said he would drive thru the Marsh first and see how deep it was. It was not very deep, so Ridley drove thru. They met, ou the other side, a Hale and hearty old man herding some Shropshire l ambs. They then drove on to Dexter. On arriving at that place they went to the Boyer Hotel for dinner. The hotel clerk and the proprietor were quarreling. The proprietor had asked the clerk to serve. She had become angry and cried out: “Me serve? Noe, in- deed not. i'll quit first.” However, he finally persuaded her to serve. She showed her spite by spilling Molten (Moulton) hot coffee on Ridley’s neck, l ater on his neck swelled up from the Burns. The meal was a miserable failure, and, besides, cost a big Price. The bread was Rye and (Ryan) the fish were half done. Ridley was disgusted and called the waitress. She was behind a curtain and there Ridley found the stable-boy, Mick, Kissen' her He stuttered, “This—er—this Fish—er—is half done.” She said she didn’t give a Derryberry, for she never cooked it. She was Stark mad. Ridley was so disgusted he took his little wife and they went to the Palmer hotel. On the way they met a man singing. Ridley asked him why he was so happy; he said he was a Freed man after twenty years looking between the Barrs. They asked him why he had been put in prison. He said that he had happened to Steele Wool-fort-y (Woklfort) or more times from a Miser without being (aught; but one day the Major’s army was walking thru the woods and saw him with the wool. The man cried out, Don’t lay Hands on (Hanson) me!” but the Major grabbed Holt of him, and, tying him to the Whipple-tree of his carriage, took him into town. The man now freed was very happy. He told a story of Mike and Pat on (Patton) a sea voyage in a large sail-boat. They were discussing what the Mast was for. Mike said it was for the Boosters’ Club as their president. Pat said: “Oh Moike, yer wits Will Helm (Wilhelm) me over some day. Ye shure are a humorous •Creature (Cretcher).” Thereupon Pat hit Mike over the head with the Shank of his hammer. Ridley and his wife went on to the Palmer Hotel. They passed an irate old baker. Some boys had broken his window. He was waving his hands and crying: “Glass co-sts money! Glass co-sts Kale (Kehl).“ Ridley and Mantey saw some small boys hiding behind a barrel. One said to the other: “Hide John (Hidgeon), or he'll see you. The old scalla-Wag leers (Wagler) this way. He sure is be-Willard (bewildered) how it got broken. Some day let’s Foray (Forry) his windows again. This is fun.” We will close here with their troubles. After three weeks’ honeymoon, they went to their little Brown home, with their Love Lore (Loeffler), where they lived very happily. Ridley’s college chum, Rogers Hoekett, and his wife lived next door to them. Rogers had been married to Jones' Haas’ daughter. They had three children—very nice they were, »oo. There was the oldest, Peabody: then Adamson, and Veatchey, the youngest Mrs. Roger Hoekett described Veatchy to me. She said, She is a very bright, happy girl and her Hair is (Harris) black as coal.” It is now twelve years since Ridley and Mantey were married: it seems but a day. Some time ago I visited them. They have three beautiful children. Cambell-a is the oldest, being ten; Borschell is eight, and McClain just passed his second birthday.
