(Elans flropbmi n one of my trips to a large high school where 1 was to make an address. 1 was instantly attracted by the title. Successes of ' 19, because I was a member of the class of 1910 of McKendree College. First I was sur- prised by seeing my Id class seated before the platform of McKendree ( ' al- lege chapel, listening to the commencement address. First was shown the success that a McKendrean had achieved in the world of science. Dr. Neva Skelton was shown as she worked in one of St Louis ' largest hospitals. This was not so surprising for she was already widely known because of her skill, and recent scientific discoveries she had made. Immediately following was a picture of myself in my chemical laboratory in New York at my daily work I then recalled the presence on a particular day of a camera man in my laboratory, whom, in my preoccupation, I had scarcely noticed. The next scene was that of a conference of Methodist ministers. The dignified personage who eemed to be speaking was none other than our old classmate, now Bishop, Thomas E. Harper. The scene shifted rapidly to the perfectly appointed library of a beautiful home in Belleville. I was not surprised when 1 saw Mrs. V. L. Gould, w h mi 1 had known as Ella Lippert. Again a magnificent laboratory scene confronted me. I felt proud for old McKendree when 1 recognized the ' ehemist in charge of Jim Doibley, our old class president. The next scene was that of a girls ' college in California, f recognized Lucile Whitaker as head, directing the work of a large class in the domestic science department. Next I saw a large class of men and women receiving their Ph. D degrees. As I watched them f saw the familiar face of Avis Spragg. That old verse came to my mind, And still the wonder grew. How one small head could carry all she knew. Then came the last picture. In the private office in a large Y. AT. C. A. building a man of small stature was busily engaged dictating to a stenographer. This could be none other than our old Cuddy Chapman. The plans of his youth had been brought to fruition. Thus. I once more came into contact with my old class and happy memories of old McKendree filled my mind. 191!) was indeed typical of the success which is achieved l v McKendreans,
