Bill Edwards, famous scientist, and Dottie Bingham, school teacher, came over to our table. Ann Davidson, editor of the New York Times, George Gulley, adver- tising manager of the Feil and McGugin Magazine Company, Jim Osborne, Olympic swimmer. John Phillips, noted explorer, and Miss Moreland, captain of our ship sat at our table. It was a splendid meal, and the decorated dining room was beau- tiful. The Workman, Woodburn and Company decorating firm was responsible. Ralph Winters, a missionary to Africa, returning for the first time in years was telling Tom 'Triplett and Matt Jeflferys, coaches at Jeanne Murdock's school for girls, some hair raising tales. Earl Wade, Edna Ruth Stepteau. Roberta Welch and Sam Hayes gave a tap dance performance, although Richard Stepteau, their pianist was indisposed. Franklin Wilson sauntered up to Stanley Keller, deep sea diver, and me. He told us he was testing automobiles for the Belcher Auto Company. We heard no more from Frank, because Imogene Ray came over and took him away. Ruth Dixon and Vivian Spradling came over to talk and we discovered that they were anxious to get home to their husbands. They wouldn't tell us who they were, so we sent John Gillen, our messenger boy, over to find the Reverend Hague to see if he would tell us. However, the Reverend was indisposed. Robert Beasley and Raymond Stapf, operators of a dairy farm told us that Mildred Silliman, for- merly their next door neighbor, was a seamstress in Hollywood and made all the screen stars' dresses. Eloise Cable, a trained nurse, told us that Don Patterson, financier, had sprained his ankle, and asked us if we had seen Dr. Keeney or Dr. Gustin. Dr. Keeney’s secretary, Edith Jeter came in then and said that the doctor was around in the engine room playing cards with Chas. Lovejoy and John Keating, chief engineers. Coleman Fetters and Jimmie Erskine, famous crooners, were hooked by Dora Stone and Clarinda Gannon, bridge fiends, for an evening’s pleasant game of bridge. However, friction grew so great that Genevieve Ward, head stewardess, was forced to stop the game. Mid Peggins and Alice Vaughn, America’s screen favorites, came in to say that they had sighted land. Winona Ellis and Evelyn Thurman, co-authors of Economic Reform were so dramatic that Miss Moreland had to make them get away from the side of the boat. Jeanne Wisenberger, Clara Elizabeth Shaffer, and Virginia Tabor were too busy flirting with Maurice Filkins, radio’s silver-voiced tenor, to notice the proximity of terra firma. We had to wait, after landing, until Inspectors Grayman and Pelfry got us out of quarantine. Sarah Wilson and Betty Wheeler, stage managers, got out their troop of chorus girls—Edna Gwiliiams. Carol Corn, Bernice and Phyllis Jenkins— and amused everybody by giving them latest numbers. Mary Hefner, Inez Sanders, and Ellen Troutman, who by the way are members of Governor Wagner's cabinet, got tired of waiting and swam ashore. Lillian Jarrell and Elizabeth Moore, ballet dancers, just remembered that they had forgotten to call for Henrietta McKee, Eloice Murnahan. and Alma Pearson. Music teachers. Therefore, they hired Cecil Smith, trans Atlantic flyer to take them back again. However, it developed that Hilda Rowe and Clara McCormick, newspaper reporters, had found them wander- ing aimlessly about and had turned them over to Grace Lambert and Velra Knapp, heads of the committee for homeless people. We finally reached our destination, and met all our teachers once more. Wait —there was one missing. Mr. Miller had gone fishing. After a very fine banquet and very fine entertainment by the very talented members of the class of 1935 we adjourned and all went home with the satisfaction of knowing we have the best class ever. 20 —John Turnbull.

If I intended to reach the dock in time to catch the steamer I. H. S. 1935 which was to bring me home to the class reunion party, I would have to hurry. I stepped to the curb to hail a taxi. However, a Dusen- berg stopped, and a familiar face appeared in the window. I looked blank for a minute- -and then I recognized the face. It was Hob Smart, who had made mil- lions selling calling cards to high school seniors. He asked me to accompany him to the dock. As I climbed in, who should I see but Bob’s partner—Frank Waller. I rank was busy designing a new kind of calling card and didn't notice me. hen we reached the dock, we hustled down to our ship. “All aboard’’ rang out a familiar voice. e looked around. There was Tom Hamilton at the gang plank. hen we got on. the ship, James Thompson, Ben Stephens, and Frank Mascari, three of the ship’s pursers rushed up to take us to our cabins. I had just sat down to relax when an awful clatter arose. I rushed upon the deck to see what had happened. Jr. Boll and Bill Roberts had just driven up in Junior’s new Cadillac V-32. Delbert Eaches, and Oran Lowe, ship’s sailors, rushed up to remove the car. Down in the salon Tom Myers, eminent author, and Maylen Cleary, noted adventurer were arguing over the benefits of marriage, but Curt Kelley, ship’s bouncer, came in and settled the dispute. I made my way toward a small knot of people, over in one corner. Jane Cline, noted artist, was displaying her latest portrait, a painting of Roy Slack. President of our nation. Because of pressing affairs of state, he and Secretary of State, Chester Spicer, were unable to attend the reunion. However, Senator Clarence Wise of Ohio, was there with his secretary Haves 'l ate. Over on the dance floor, Leo Vance, professional gigolo, was dancing with Dot Workman, who is heard singing on the N.B.C. hookup with Kenneth Corn’s orchestra. Just then Paul Stephenson, ship’s cook, chased Tee Thompson, owner of the Thompson Baking Corporation, out of the galley for stealing a dish of ice cream. The “Drag Sisters quartette now came into the limelight, by singing one of Thelma Calloway’s new song hits. The quartette consists of Elite Paul, Ginnie Haney, Alice Hopkins, and Janet Henninger. Earl Bourne, president of Wilberforce University, was explaining Einstein’s theory to Ethel Brown and Nellie Hayes, his secretaries. All of a sudden everybody’s head turned toward the door. In walked Paul Gray, Frank Mascari, and Don Miller, justices of the U. S. Supreme Court. Chas. Moulton and Audrey Huddleston, famous engineers, now walked in arguing with Warren Elkin, famous actor, as to whether Galen Kinley would win the Nobel Prize for poetry this year. Pat Beatty and Howard Unrue, solo clari- netists for the New York Symphony Orchestra, could be heard practicing in their stateroom. Ed Baker, sheriff of Lawrence County sent his deputy, Harvey Smith, around to stop the racket. Just then Carl Seiferth came in to announce that dinner had been served. The stampede to the dining room was led by Ed. Rutledge, Bob Warren, Dick Gasser, and Paul Kratzenberg, acrobats in James Rice’s new vaudeville show.
