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

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,

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. Boys, here’s my advice If your Ma ever wants you to do girl’s work around the house just break a few things like I did and you won’t be hired very often.” C. I. J. ’10
