20 THE REFLECTOR V on the car that I recognized and it seemed hours before we finally arrived at Maumee. Just as I stepped from the car I met Margaret Clarke. She walked home with me and told me all about the doings in Maumee. She herself had been driving a taxi i11 competition with several other girls. This did not surprise me much as I had always known how cleverly Margaret could handle a car, The next day was the banquet and I could hardly wait until evening came to see the New High School and the members of the class of '19. Viihen at last I found myself surrounded by the old bunch, it really seemed a dream. Adeline Perrin was a reporter for the Advance-Era and had been doing some very dangerous work of late. This I had always known would happen to Adeline, for she always loved to go places and do things that all others were afraid to attempt. Marguerite Gates was giving aesthetic dancing in Toledo and had a wonderfully progressive class. Although she tried to be faithful to her class, her many admirers made it impossible for her to give it the proper amount of attention. Then there was John Meehan, a tall, dignified looking man who owned a hair pin factory in Canada, and would soon build another at Business Corners. Imogene informed us that she was a typist for her Dad, and since Harold Perrin had a share in the honey business she might as well get familiar with his work. I inquired about Hazel Zeller, and was told that she had left for a trip through Europe. Alone? I inquired. No in- deed, Shc had married Charles Ford, another old schoolmate. Dorothy Bettis, after losing her voice ini Grand Opera, had been playing opposite Eugene 0-'Brien on the screen. But where was Thelma? They said that after studying French for four years she had actually given up her high position as teacher at Vassar to learn to fly. Of course Thelma had always been interested in aviators for some unknown reason. They further informed me that she would make her first Hight the following day and that Roland Smith would accom- pany her in case there should be engine trouble. ' There was Mary Pore, as quiet as ever, and when she said that she was running for Mayor of Mushville, Tenn., I was greatly surprised. But before the banquet was over I found that she had overcome her former bashfulness and was quite a talker. Now where has Zelma been all this time? John said that after two years of pleading with her, she had gone, against his wishes, as a missionary to Africa. Finding the Class of '19 in the best of spirits and with their usual happy ways, the banquet was successfully over and we all re-turned ho-me, pleased to know how beautifully we had acquitted ourselves in the trials of life.

About half ot' its present register would remain, however, if this change should come about, The School Board-it is only recently that this body of antediluvean ancestor-worshippers has emerged from the ooze of past geological ages into the sunshine of the present. A few of them have taken a great liking for athletics, especially the manly art, and teach by principle rather than by precept. ViI'g'il-We now bid you a last farewell, O, ancient and implacable enemy, hoping that you will find enjoyable your sojourn in that underworld of which you have so unceasingly chanted. Chas.
