BOWEN Farewell, dear Alma Mater, Friend of our high school days; Farewell, old Bowen High school, To whom our thanks we raise. We ' ve loved you long and heartily ; We ' ve helped you in the field That you might win, in order That our colors might not yield. For four years we have studied The wisdom of the ages ; And in thy fond and sweet embrace We ' ve learned our volume ' s pages. Regretfully we leave you now, To go where e ' er we list ; But we, at parting, ask of you To be a little missed. TEKLA GYSEL Page Tzvcnty-seven

BY TEKLA GYSEL and JOSEPHINE PARSONS Miss Pearson, the chief reporter of THE TRIBUNE, had been sent to interview the leading movie stars of the day — Caroline Corn- stock and Percival Parkhurst. On arriving she discovered that they were her old schoolmates, Elmer Ebert and Carrie Abraham. They all talked so fast about school days that Miss Pearson had no inter- view to hand in. When she told the editor her reason, he said that in retribution she must locate her class members and write up their suc- cesses. At the end of the month she dictated the following to the head staff stenographer, Miss Raczinski : Perhaps the most famous class ever graduated from a high school was the class which went out from Bowen High in 1917. The most noted man of that number is Francis Ostrowski, who will be inaugurated March the fourth. The success of the socialist candidate is due to the excellent work of the campaign leader, Leonard Dietz. Dietz ever has been known for leading people into victory. His career began when, resplendent in a blouse of purple and gold, he led the rooters at a champion basket ball game. Murel Macdonald has also been instrumental in the election by making a tour of the Chautauquas in favor of Ostrowski. Being a fervent socialist himself, he has written a book stating his extreme views on the subject. This brought forth a series of strong comments in pamphlets from Josephine Parsons, the noted sociologist. It quite reminded their classmates of the Hughes- Wilson guard. The class is also noted for its beauty specialists, Julia Benko and Beryl Vaughan. Among their patrons are the noted actor and actresses, Kathleen Allman, Ringling Bros. ' tallest woman, Manfred Krebs, the popular black face man, and Ebba Dahl, the skylark of vaudeville; Angelia Hirschfeld, the world ' s most beautiful woman, also owes some of her charms to the efforts put forth by her two classmates. Many of the members have entered professions. Professor Bessie Glawe is now in her fifth year as president of Yale. Her most efficient English instructor is Mildred Jacobi. Lawson and Paulson, dentists, and Stern, the eminent surgeon, have made their expenses during the last five years. George Koch is teaching chemistry at Page Twenty-eight
