Base Ball-1913 Manager Everett Morgan has several games booked for this season, but so far we have been unfortunate in that the first three games have been postponed on account of rain. There is a great deal mo -e material, this year from which to choose than there has been in the past few seasons. Bob James is acting as captain of this team. The foot ball players who took part in sixteen quarters of play during the past season were entitled 10 a letter presented by thj J. H. S.

§ntinr (Class prnphmj By MARGARET JONES, ’13, Class Prophet. November 28th, 1923 It has been a long time since I have written in my diary, but now I feel as if I have something to write that will be worth while. I have just returned from th greatest trip of my life, from one side of our great United States to the other. I had just made up my mind to stay quietly at home all summer, when I received a telegram that my old friend and schoolmate, Gladys Morgan, was seriously ill at her home in California—She has been married three years to a wealthy ranchman and I had long wanted to visit her but of course not under these circumstances. As the message had said to come as quickly as possible, I decided to take the newly constructed Underground Compressed Air line on which it is possible to make the journey in less than a day. When I arrived at the station, I found I was nearly late as usual, and was pushed in the car without ceremony by a conductor who had a familiar face. Soon a very tall man came in and sat down beside me as it was the only vacant seat. He was reading a letter and I saw to my surprise, the name of Chester McDonald on it. I spoke to him but he did not remember me at first. He said he was President of the road and was inspecting this line for the first time. He asked me if I remembered Edward McKitterick, another school-mate of ours and when I asked about him he said he was the conductor on this line. I asked him if he knew anything about any of our other school-mates and he said he had just met Basil Halterman in Cleveland, last week, where he was traveling for Alexander Co., a large publishing company, and also had heard an address on Woman’s Suffrage, in Columbus, by Marie Evans. I in turn told him what I knew of the members of our class. He was interested to hear that Annetta Thomas was conducting a school for girls in Pennsylvania, and that Gladys Ervin had just returned from a trip in Europe. The journey seemed very short and I was surprised when we reached our destination at about sundown. An automobile met us at the station and took us to the ranch where Gladys lived. A maid took me to her room but I was met at the door by a nurse, who told me that Gladys was asleep and introduced herself as Genevieve Davis. She told me that Sarah Kesinger was night nurse and that they thought most of the danger past. I was very glad to see my old class-mates and to talk over our school days again. Here I learned more of the whereabouts of those who had graduated in the class ’13. They said that Jefferson Howe haJ a large ranch near and that June Marshall was one of the overseers; that Wendell Morgan was a very successful lawyer in a growing town nearby and that Arthur Davis was practising dentistry in that same town. I was surprised to hear this last for I had always thought Arthur was cut out for a comedian. After a while I went down to the library to wait until Gladys woke up. I picked up the Chicago Press, the headlines of which caught my eye. It told, about the great discoveries of Paul Horton along scientific lines. He is now a professor in the Columbia University. We had all expected something like this of him when he used to stand up and tell our science teacher, what was what in the Physics class. I stayed on the ranch with Gladys for about a month until she was fast on the road to recovery, then set out for Pennsylvania to visit Annetta Thomas. While there I had a most delightful time. We went into Philidelphia to hear the great Prima Donna-Miss Sibyl Powell, another member of the great Class ’13. While in Philidelphia, Annetta pointed out the house of a prominent society leader and explained that she was formerly Elizabeth Jones.
