The year of 1914 was a year of momentous events: the great World War broke out and our class entered Hudson High school. As Freshmen we kept in the back ground as befits all modest children. We did our bit however for the base ball and girls' basket ball. Athletics has continued to claim a great deal of our interest and at all seasons of the year it has luied our boys and girls from the strenuous duties of the class room to the enjoyment of hard play. In our Senior year we won first place in the inter-class basket ball tournament. We have never neglected to cultivate the social side of our being. The annual banquet, one of the big events of the year, has been anticipated with such joy that total abstinence of food is often practiced for several days previous to the festal night. Our class has always excelled in all musical lines— with varying degrees of harmony. The prima donna in the operetta given in our Freshman year, was a member of our class. In public speaking we may claim our greatest achievement—our eloquence has been surpassed only by that of Cicero and Bryan. Two members of our class were on debating teams as Sophomores; four as Juniors; and four as Seniors. For thiee con- secutive years a member of our class has won first place in the declamatory contest. Thiee members of this class, LawrenceSinger, Charles Holden and Clarence Carl- son, have responded to the call to arms. Philip Dorgan, Ellery Evans and Orvil Lomnes, who started with us as Freshmen, are also among America's fighting men; while we who are at home are backing our country and class mates. May each mem- ber of our illustrious class, the class of 1918—the last class to graduate from the old high school— always be true to our motto “Forward.” OFFICERS President - Harold Olson Vice President - Charles Holden Secretary - John Casanova Treasurer - Anina Howalt COLOR—Purple and White FLOWER—Violet MOTTO—Forward XovuXcA, S't XiAs' Anna Arnquist - Class Vice Pres.

Is there a man in our country who feels not the need of mankind? Can there be one in this glorious land who hears not his native land’s call? Were it not better to meet splendid deah on crimson fields of battle, Than to waste here at home, sickened by tho’ts of the conflict? How can the waves of the ocean protect us in this new epoch When the inventions of man every obstacle hurl from its pathway ? Can we be men if we shrink at home cowering in ease and plenty? While our dear Fatherland bleeds and is dying in utter despair He who has lived as he ought with his strength and his mind unimpaired, He who is old enough now to discriminate matters of justice, Such is the man whom our country now calls to the war on autocracy. TRUE BLUE. CLASS PROPHECY. Scene, New York City. May 1930. D. Pardon me, but do you know where the nearest tele- phone booth is? H. Why Why! Dorothy. It isn't ieally you! D. (Dorothy startled)—Well if it isn't Hilda Hanson after all these years! How many is it, twelve? H. H. Yes, twelve exactly. 1). If this isn’t iuck. I was just reading the paper and noticed that you were to be here soon. H. (disgustedly)— uh those newspapers! i). ou needn't scold. Let them have full swing when they get something really interesting to write about. ‘•Hilda Hanson, the daring aviatrix, in monstrous headlines is no small treat. H. i ou are as bad as you always were. But I notice the newspapers haven't neglected you either. Arti- cles and headlnies galore appeal about Dorothy Ever- son, the much sought-for decorator, to say nothing of Commissioner of Public Sky Roads. D. Yes! Yes! But who is that man just going behind the screen, that distinguished-looxing gentleman? Do you see him ? H. Why that man? Don't you recognize him? Ed. C Conr.ell, the proprietor of this “Red, White and Blue” Cafe, the most amous on Fifth Avenue? He is as attentive as ever to his little wife, Etta Marty. Do you remember what loving glances he used to bestow upon her in High school? She seems to be the rea manager of this establishment, and is probably nov giving instructions to the head chef, George Leaf whom you surely remember. D. I'm r.ot sui prised at Ed's romance, but George as r chef is certainly queer. I had picked him out as r public speaker. Don’t you remember his eloquence in High school? H. Now that iur.ch is over let’s ta. e a fly over the c‘t. . I 11 telephone foi my Curtiss. D. That will be fine. What’s that? Did you notice that sign board over there? See, it says, “You car afford to miss this! Mr. Irving Jacobson, successor to Famous Fatty Arbuckle, plays to-night!” H. Well of all things! Jakie must have been reading Starve and Grow Fat. Let's see that show to-night. D. This is a glorious da r for a spin. It reminds me of my last trip. 1 was engaged by all the towns along the Hudson San Francisco Air Highway to design sign boards. I had to select the most harmonious colors and the most suitable and stationary clouds to hang them on. Something happened to my motor and we went down at St. Paul and the first person tha' I saw was Arnold Covell gnnding out tunes from hard organ and having a most delightful argument with his monkev. It semes that Arnold can’t even convince a monkey. H. Arnold alwavs did try to make one believe 2 plus 2 equals 1. But speaking of Hudson hasn e It grown wonderfully? It is greatly due to the fact that it ic the center of the air highways of the world. It he finallv eclipsed its oM competitors, the Twin Do you se that beautiful building below us? Tha � s a young ladies semirarv with Marv Tourtellot a dean. She has changed so since high school davs. vou would hardly know her. She wears how g ae v' and is so stiff and prim. She is greatly troubled bv the frivolity of one of the teachers, Myrtle Erickson, 10 TRUE B LUE. but cannot bear to dismiss her. D. Mary Tourtellot! Is that possible ? Have you heard about Anina Howalt and Esther Haven ? They are the foremost women farmers of America and just rep- resented the fanners of America at the International Farmers’ convention at Paris. They have secured the services of the second McCormick, John Casanova, who accompanies them on all their trips. Esther is cjuite devoted to John it seems. H. No, really? Do you remember that class play? D seems such a short time ago. Let’s descend a little here. This is the famous model war hospital of th - United States with William Haugen as head surgeon. Anna Arnquist, the head nurse, is the devoted slave of Billy and has under her Lillian Miller and Jean Kinney. They all received their trainingin thewar between the United States and the Esquimaux. D. Why, isn’t that the hospital with which Major General Lawrence o. Singer is connected with ? He certainly became famous thiough the crosses which he won in the great world war. Doesn’t it seem strange to think of Anna Arnquist docilely following any man around? By the way have you read Harold Olson’s sermon in the Sunday papers? He is a sceond Billy Sunday. That music hath power to charm is proven beyond a doubt by the influence which his wife, Clara Rowley, has over the crowd. H. Really? Have you heard of the success of Stella Wolf as a charming actress of the vampire type? Otto Peterson is playing against her as a dashing, idolized hero of the time. their latest disappearance was in Slinging Mul in Mudville. D. I had always hoped that Stella would have a peaceful career after she left High school. By the way don’t you think that it's getting rather cool? It makes me shiver to think of Chaney Holden. After the war he went up to his Alaskan mines. But in the summer Alaska is too warm for his hardy spirit, so he spends his time camping among the icebergs around the nort - pole where he has fallen in love with a beautiful Esquimaux girl. Quite a romance isn’t it? H. Indeed. Have you heard the latest? Clarence Carlson has been appointed ambassador to China and is taking Erna Klein as his privte secretary. Erna is overwhelmed with joy, for her almost inseparable High school chum, Josephine Loughney, is a mission- ary there. D. I’m glad those girls are not to be separated. Wha do you suppose Eleanor Larson has been doing She is as efficient as she always was, and between her social and political duties, her acting, and her news- paper woi'k she hardly finds a minute to spare for her family. H. Yes, she showed good promise of such a future while in High school. But Margaret Trieb has the strang- est career. She is a wonderful physics teacher, and has on the side invented a foot ease for professional dancers. But here we are at the Club. Let’s go down for dinner. D. How I’ve enjoyed this talk about those old class mates of ours! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a reunion nex' year ? H. Yes, surely, a wonderful class like ours ought to cel- ebrate. Hudson High school looks upon the Class o 1918 as the most successful one that has ever passed out from its doors. Well, here we are. L 11 TRUE B LUE. HER FRIEND - THE ENEMY CAST.

It was vacation time. “Billy, you will please stay at home this morning and help me with the work. I have a terrible headache this morning;” said my ma. “You see my ma, she aint got no gin and I have to jump around and do all of a boy’s chores and cnce in a while do some of a girl’s jobs like washin’ dishes, s ct; the floois and everything.” “Well, I reckon 1 won’t have to do any more sissy work, ’cause—oh well,— just wait an’ I’ll tell you. , , , , , , “I had a lot of bad luck right off. 1 was clearin off the table and gettin along just fine :tili itcair.e the sugar bowl’s tuin to be tiamrcited from the dinin’ room to the kitchen. Midway, my foot caught in the rug, and down I went kerflop! Sugar bowl and all. I guess the sugar bowl must have gone down a lot harder than I did. because it broke into a thousand pieces and I didn’t even get hurt. The sugar spread out the rest of the way to the kitchen. Then, my ma she got pretty mad and scolded some for me not lookin’ before leapin’, but it wasn’t that, if something worse hadn't happened. “Soon after the sugar bowl catastrophe I was told to sweep the ceiling of the pal- lor. I walked back and forth and didn’t pay much attention to where I walked. Sud denly I fell headlong over a little stool. 1 reached the floor without doing any damage— but ding that broom! It crashed into an electric light chandelier with six sixty-candle-power electric lights. The whole business came pell mell to thefloor. And if my ma wasn't mad! Um-m! Well, I’ll say she was! She gave my right ea- such an awful yank that I felt it most all the day after and I got a long enough lecture to fill ten encyclopedias and then some. “She told me my help was no longer needed, so I beat it out doors, fas: as I could go and figured: Total damage ten dollars. Ten dollars Good night! Never again would I help my mother in the house, and I’ll wager she’ll never want o expensive heln again.

WE’RE JUNIORS. As a class we’re not a star; Classes brighter? Yes, by far. But there’s one thing we can say In a very happy way, We’re Juniors. Have our lessons up to date Or our medicine we take. Oft the medicine is bitter But ne’er a Junior is a quitter. We’re Juniors. Off to school we go each day. Never spend our time at play. Junior folks will never shirk, We just love our high school work. We’re Juniors. C. I. J. ’19 T R U E B L U E . There are those who love old rose and gray, The crimson and the gold. The charms of purple and white In rhyme have oft been told But while all may boast of beauty, There is one to which we’re true: , For we claim supreme allegiance To our standard of True Blue. In glad victory’s glorious moment, In days of dire defeat, We proudly wave our banner, With cheers its folds we greet, For we’re loyal to our high school, We accord it honor due, And whate’er fate befall us, We’ll defend our own True Blue. And when the years at school are ended, When life’s stern tasks begin, When dreams and hopes and memories Glide by on fleeting wings; Though many lands divide us And mighty oceans too, We’ll remember Hudson High School And its spirit of True Blue.

Our Freshmen Class is the best of all No matter what you say. Our colors are the “Blue and Gold.” May they always be bright and gay. t a quarter of ten we have English, Which each day we like more and more. We learn about commas and colons, Read plays and write them galore. Besides English we have Latin and science Which everyone knows are all r.r. But oh! those tests, they are awful! And study we must every night. I hen too, we have Algebra and Commercial See the pupils how they squirm In their seats— Watch them twist and turn and groan How they wish they were at home. While they sigh— (They’d like to cry) As they turn around and moan To the one who near them sits; Then they yell— As they tell Which are not so very hard, Still the “x’s” and “y’s” are puzzling And them we cannot disregard. Our basket ball team is a good one, Although the boys are not very tail; But in spite of “Hooverinzing” they’ll grow some And next year we’ll beat them all. So, taking them all in all The Fresh ies are not a bad set, And in spite of the scorns of the others Will be first over the top, you bet. C.

BASE BALL. The base ball team began practicing the first week in April. Odenwald was elected captain and proved his claims on the honor by winning the first game with 11 strike outs, allowing only 2 hits. Score: 7-3 against River Falls. When River Falls came to Hudson they did not cross home plate and permitted us 6 counters. North St. Paul was tucked away with the other victims by 4 to 3. Because of a lack of high schools base ball teams this yei we played several teams out of our class. H. O. in English IV—Didn’t he write that poem about the grasshopper and cricket ? Miss M. —Yes; but what is the name of it? H. O. —Isn’t that to a skylark? TRUE BLUE. FOOT BALL. The call for football men was issued by Coach Schmidt about the last week of September, and twenty or more candidates responded. Three experienced men were all Schmidt had to work with as this was the first year of football since 1913. The season opened with a victory over River Falls Normai by a score of 25 to 0. St. Thomas Mohawks fell by a score of 14 to 12. The team played a remarkable game against its much heavier oppon- ents. All attention was now turned to the Menor.iunie game. The showing of Menomcnie was a disappointment and Hudson won 46 to 0. In the Farmington game we went out of our class, losing 54 to 0. Farmington laid claim to the championship of Minnesota. The last game of the season was lost to River Falls 54 to 19. Considering the inexperience c the men and the dif- ficulty of getting enough players out for two teams, the team made a good showing.

Then Dorgan and Carlson enlisted and the team almost gave up hope, but the boys redoubled their efforts and showed the spirit and fight for which Hudson teams are noted. As a result they went to the tournament at River Falls where they won fourth place.

He wore an English cape over evening clothes and a heavy silk hat, which was pressing a deep ring into h.s forehead. A friendly head waiter seated him in one of the most comfortable corners in the loom, tilted the paper lamp shade at an agreeable angle and slid the menu cross the table within easy reach. A waiter came, took his order and suggested a d.sh or two, seeming to enjoy the leisurely mannered 01 dering as greatly as did the gentleman himself. When he had received his cocktail, the gentleman settled back comfortably, sipping and smoking till the waiter should again return w th his bluepoints. They came pres- ently on a heaping plate of ice, glistening and cold, arianged delicately between crisp sprigs of green. He seasoned them, carefully balanced his fork in his fingers for a moment, put it down again beside his piate and sipped a little of the fresh, frosty cock- tail. Then intensely keyed up for the appetizing morsel, he plucked a plump bivalve fiom its shell and dropped it into his mouth, chewing it slowly and appreciatively, thereby getting the full benefit of its flavor. The waiter, standing ready to serve, watched him with almost reverent respect as it was exactly his idea of the manner in which a gentleman should order and eat his dinner. He stepped over and moved a cracker dish deftly with just that little personal touch that made the diner feel quite at home. Suddenly the gentleman gave a start. The attentive sonant bent forwaid anx- iously, and looked into his face. The w’rinkles over one eye were drawn together in an expression of pain. A corner of the gentleman's mouth twitched as though he had bitten on some foreign substance in that seventh oyster. The waiter hovered about gravely; the other drew out his handkerchief, and passed it over his mouth, removing a poifect pink pearl and dropping it moist ar.d .‘hiring on the white cloth. The waiter, too w'ell bred to exclaim, stood back with a well suppressed sigh of lelief as the pearl was dropped beside a water glass. After the oyctei course, S' vester—for that was the name of the waiter—with an apparently innocent movement, to sweep the pearl off the cloth among th carcker crumbs, but the gentleman, Mr. Archi- bald de Folivour, according to the calling cards in his vest pocket case—put out his hand and covered the pearl, at the same time looking up at the conscious Sylvester with a quick smile. “I beg pardon, sir, said Sylvester, maintaining his stolid expression. Mr. de Folivour nodded in recognition of the ready apology, and pushed the pearl out of the way behind his wine glass. His interest in the dishes that followed in satisfying and perfect order, evidently blotted all thoughts of the jewel out of his mind. When the salad was removed Sylvester again essayed accidentally from the table into his waiting hand, as he moved the goblet to refill it. Mi. de Folivour glanced up at him sharply from beneath heavy eyebrows, and again his sensitive mouth twitched whim- sically. “Oh sir, pardon! I d‘d not see it! Pardon! “cried Sylvester with seeming con- fus;on. deeming some emphasis necessary in explanation of his second carefully-cal- culated blunder. Mr. de Folivour nodded again ar.d reached his slender smooth hand, picked up the gem, and examined it critically in the glare of teh wee lamp. Sylvester also took occasion to note that the pearl was perfectly round and of a rich flesh luster; 24 TRUE BLUE. it would undoubtedly command a very high price. Although good pearls were a rarity in restaurant oysters, he had sometimes eecuied them, and once he had sold a small one for fifty dollars. This new pearl would undoubtedly command a great price. “Will you take your coffee now sir?, queried Sylvester, bending over in order that he might gain a closer view of the bright shining pearl. “Yes, 1 am through. Haveyou a Ville Vallar?” “I believe so sir,” replied Sylvester, suppressing his surprise at the mention of a cigar so choice, that the price of a sniff of it, would purchase several good cigars. He hurried back with the box and Mr. de Folivour selected two or ihe cigars, plac- ing one in his pocket, clipping the end off the other neatly and turning it in his mouth. Sylvester applied a match to the tip of it, his eyes on the pearl, his mind on some method by which he might procure it. His limitd time was growing short. Our worthy gentleman, Mr. de roiivour, had already pushed back his chair, pulled down his vest and wiped off his chin, and showed signs of leaving shortly. Sylvester arranged the ash tiay for him, endeavoring to place the hollow bottom of it over the jewel. De Falivour prevented this by taking the tray from Sylvester’s fingeis and asking absently for his bill. The pearl still lay tempt.ngly on the cloth as Sylvester returned with a long item- ized account, amounting to neany twenty dollars, which seemed a highly suitable sum tor such a diner. Syi ester quickened at that htought as he placed the bill before Mr. de Folivour. That gentleman reached mechanically into his vest pocket for his wallet, brought out his hand empty, looked up at Sylvester with the same quick smile and muttered “odd 1 haven't my wallet with me.” “Fossibly someone relieved y'ou of it Sir,” suggested Sylvester drawing nearer and trying to drop his moist itching palm carelessly over the pearl. “No, 1 m sure it’s just absent-mindedness. 1 must have left it at home. If you’ll call your manager I’ll give h.m my card and relieve you of any responsibility.” And the gentleman stretched forth his hand idly and picked up the pearl just as Sylvester s nervous fingers were about to close over it. He held it up and gazed at it musingly through the rich scented smoke of his cigar, as Sylvster turned to do his b.dding. De Folivour did not look up as Sylvester took two short steps and then returned to the table, standing silently at a respectful distance as though he wished to speak of something. Receiving no attention, he cleared his throat politely, aristocratically': “If you please, sir,” he began in an almost man to man tone, “I can help you out sir, if you wish. You need r.ot tioutle about this bill sir, I shall be pleased to attend to that if you will give me the pearl as a trifling memento, sir.” “This pearl?” asked Mr. de Folivour drolly, holding up the shimmering jewel. “Yes, it will cover everything.” “But, my dear fellow, it’s likely that this bauble that nearly broke my tooth, is worth five, six, or maybe seven hundred dollars. I’ve seen them valued at that in rings.” “Ah, but sir, to a man like you”—Sylvester put it nicely, wistfully, with all the skill at his command, drawing the comparison of their stations delicately—“to you it is a little thing. To me—my wife is a lover of jewels, sir, her birthday is next week. Perhaps you have a wife sir. We would both be so grateful.” “Your wife, eh? She’d like it,” mused Mr. de Folivour, dubiously . He weighed the jewel carefully and glancd keenly at the brazen waiter. The whimsical smile disappeared as though he were convinced ot the fellow’s hon- esty. Gazing at the pearl, he rubbed his first finger over it carelessly, as though he could actually feel its velvety sheen; then placing it into Sylvester’s hand, he rose smilingly, “For your wife then, with my sincerest compliments,” he laughed. “Thank you sir, thank you,” cried Sylvester, thrilled to the core, as he had been on a day ten years back, when a Standard Oil mgnate had given him tip which served as a corner stone for the comfortable fortune he had built upon it. As Sylvester came with the hat and stick and cape, he slipped a five dollar bill about the shapely head of the cane and pressed it firmly into the gentleman's hand. “You’ll need taxi fare, sir. Good night, sir, good night,” he said beamingly. Mr. de Folivour looked at the bill slightly; then the same smile shone on his face. “Stiange fellow that, unusually grateful,” he exclaimed i.o himself, turning to -• after Sylvester. But the waiter had already hurried off to the pretty cashier, to pay the bill lest his patron change his mind. “Well, maybe I’ll need it de Folivour said aloud, with that odd little twist of a smile. Gazing about, as he sauntered into the street, stopping to get a quill tooth- pick, and chat with a sweet little blond, who sat smiling behind the cashier’s desk. After strolling aiound for a while he stopped in at a roof garden, watched the show for a couple of hours with ieserved enjoyment, smoked his second cigar, had a few drinks and then went home. Th next evening he strolled again on Wabasha street. On the corner of Seventh 25 T R U E B L U E . streat he paused, drew his eyebrows thoughtfully togethei and remarked to himself: “Guess I'll have a few oysters with my dinner tonight. Stepping into a dark doorway he took a tiny box fiom his vest pocket. Selecting a large pink pearl (at random) from the two dozen wax ones the stock contained, I placed it carefully in his handkerchief, so that he could conveniently slip the ten-cent gem into his mouth and mobten its wax'- suiiace, that the glitter of it should not fail to catch the greedy e e of the waiter, whom l ate might select to sene him hi3 next plate of oysters. Willis Thom, ’21 DAD’S INVENTION. A faint knock came at the laboratory door, followed by persuasive voice. “Dad- dy, Norton is in the parlor, and Mary says he won’t go until I see him. Shall 1 tell h m what you think? The door opened and a face surrounded by fluffy brown hair appeared. “Please, daddy. It will only take a second. At the interruption Dr. Page turned quickly to glare at the intruder; then the frown vanished and he smiled into his daughter’s deep gray eyes. “No, girl, you run along toyour room. I’ll tell him what I think of him as my future son-in-law. Run along. It won’t hurt him to wait, lazy scoundrel that he is. As the door closed after his daughter he thought to himself: “Trying to rop. Betty in. The good-for-nothing loot! , Then suddenly he went to the case and took out a small sprayer, which he put in his pocket. “This will be a fine way to convince Betty and try my invention at the same time. As he opened the door, Betty was sitting on the top step looking mournfully out the porch door. “There! You are too late, now he’s gone—he’s gone,” she ended dismally. “Just as well, replied her father, “I’m going down to the city now. You stay here. I’ll be home soon. Don’t worry, he added, “you can’t get rid of him till he’s kicked out. On the business thoroughfare Dr. Hale stopped and gazed thoughtfully at a deaf- and-dumb man who was begging alms of a passerby. In a flash, his hand slipped in- to his pocket. An instant later the public was astounded to see the once deaf-and- dumb man crying out: “I’m not dumb, I’m not deaf. I’m a fake. I did it to get money. The public looked about in vain for the cause of this confession. As Hale walked along he felt very happy. His invention had been successful. While in this mood a stiange chaiacter attracted his attention. An old man,, trembling with age, with long white whiskers and hair. Why not try it once on this fellow? In a moment the public saw an old man snatching off his hair and whiskers —a man whose face bore imprints of guilt and crime. This time, however, the Doctor had not noticed the presence of two policemen. In a moment, before he could gather his unsteady nerves, he was in the patrol auto being conveyed to the police station. Just how it happened that he w’ent in poor and came out rich, with $5,000 in his pocket, he could never tell. That night Norton had appeared as Mr. Hale had expected. The Doctor was eyeing him distrustfully, then suddenly the preparation was shot into the eyes and mouth of the astonished suitor. Betty, who had been hiding behind the curtains i ' the music room,stepped out. Norton was talking at the top of his voice: “Betty I love you, I truly love you, although your father is an old nut! Betty stood silent no longer, but quickly ran to her lover’s arms. Dr. Haie climbed the stairs. Anger, unbelief and a lurking humor were written on his face. He threw' the bottle out the window and smiled weakly as it touched the bottom. Norton was right. He was an old nut. A twinkle appeared in the brown eyes and in a moment the Doctor was smiling. Well, he had money to give her a fine w’edding! Five thousand dollars didn’t come in so unhandy after all. M. K ’19 TRUK BLUE. •if, TRUE RLUE ANNUAL STAFF 19 18 EDITOR IN CHIEF - ESTHER HAVEN.

McGiveran, General Agent, THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of Milwaukee, Wisconsin shows facts in the accompanying table of mortality: Age 25 100 Average Men, healthy and vigorous in mind and body and dependent upon their own exertions for their support. Age 35 5 have died. 10 have become wealthy. 10 are in good circumstances. 40 are in moderate circumstances. 35 have not improved their condition. Age 45 11 more have died, 16 in all. 4 only are wealthy', all the others rated at age 35 as having resources having lost their accumulation. 65 are still working and are self supporting but without other resouiees. 15 are no longer self-suporting owing to illness, accident, etc., a few still earn something, but not enough for self-support. Age 55.... 4 moie have died, twenty in all. 1 has become very rich. 3 are in good circumstances, but not the same 3 quoted at age 45, for one who was wealthy at 45, has lost everything, and another not quoted wealthy' at 45 has taken his place. 46 still working for a living without any accumulation. 30 are now more or less dependent upon their children, their relations, or upon charity for support; some still able to do light work are being replaced by younger men. Age 65 16 more men have died, making 36 in all out of 100. 1 is still rich. 3 are wealthy, 1 of those who lost everything before 45 having again become wealthy. 6 still at work self-supporting 54 are dependent upon children, relations or charity. Age 75 27 more have died, making 63 in all, 60 of whom left no estate. 2 only are wealthy, three who were rated as wealthy at 65 have lost their accumulation. 35 are dependent upon children, relatives or charity. These old men will die off rapidly, but their financial condition wi not improve, and 33 of them will not have sufficient means to defray funeral expenses unless insured.
