T ,, s. claasceanr .. Y Mnnaaava., onto Sveninr Gllaaa lgrnphrrg The visitors' gallery was packed. The crowd murmured with one steady con- tinual rumble. Suddenly a hush came over the throng. Silence reigned supreme. In the Senate chamber a person of majestic bearing arose and addressed the chair. It was the right honorable Alice Lippincott, eminent stateswoman and politician, in all her dignity. She was to sway the throng of people, who had gathered there to hear her speech, Shall Mars have her Independence? which excelled Mr, Burke's Speech on Conciliation. Then I accompanied her to her home. After dinner we went to her library for a chat. Upon a small end-table lay a magazine entitled Nutty Cracks , a magazine of pure wholesome fun, edited by Arthur Cowden, Taking me to a shelf she gave me a novel Love by the Lakeside, by Eloise Berry, the distinguished American novelist. She 'began her career in M. H. S. in '27, I picked up a copy of the Crescent of 1927 and as I leafed through it, it re- called to our memories our old schoolmates of M. H. S. She gave me a letter from Cecil Emmons, thanking her in behalf of himself and his manager, James Murphy, for her support and influence in his recent successful campaign for the gubernatorial chair of the State of Ohio. She next told me William VVeir, whom we had nicknamed farmer a long time ago, hlad made himself worthy of the name. He is -now watering stock on 'Wall Street, He had just come from a busi- ness conference with Karl Summers, who is a big power in financial circles. She next announced that Glenwood Lotz, is the government flyer who has just tak-en the honor and awards for the highest altitude fiyer in the service. The next morning for breakfast I had a luscious orange direct from Carl Nlatz's extensive California fruit orchards. Looking over the morning papers the following headline met my eyes: Donald Haynam Buys Moonshiue Mr. Haynam, one of the most prominent men in horse racing circles buys Moonshine, the speediest race horse in the world, who recently won the Kentucky Derby. The consideration is in the neighborhood of a quarter-million. The audience was held enthralled Wednesday evening by Lena Riesen, the renowned Y, W. C. A. athletic director who gave a lecture on How to use Dumbells to the best advantage. For thirty years, Lena has had experience along her line. Therefore she speaks from authority. Mr. George Leyda, president of the Leyda United ,Steamboat Fleets Corporation, left yesterday in a specially constructed airplane, for Alaska, for the purpose of es- tablishing a steamboat line along the Yukon River, recent North ,Pole developments having made it necessary for better methods of transportation. Mr. Lawson Whitacre, one of the foremost men in the 'baseball world, as you know, has just completed the purchasing of the Cardinals. Under his able control the team is sure to win the pennant. Turning to the advertisements the following caught my eye: HFREED KOSMETIGSH The Best Of ItS Kind Prepared and manufactured by the firm of Harold Freed. He has just perfected the rouge called, It Won't Rub Off. The Holland furnace a few years ago was considered the best to be had but Harold Haynam and Kenneth Harsh, have perfected their idea of a furnace known as The Haynlam 85 Harsh Hiott Air Furnace?

M. ISI S.. C CE-ZINT Z I? . MIINEJRVA, 0 0 The advertisement article written by Jeannette Close describes her rise to fame as the greatest and most accomplished pianist of all time. 1She uses the Linhart Piano exclusively and heartily recommended it as the most perfect piano in every respect. It is the design and manufacture of Paul Linhart, who has the controlling interest in the Linhart Piano Co. When reading over the society columns the section was ablaze with the prom- inent club woman and organizer of society, Mildred Tomlinson, wh-o entertained the celebrated Hurla Ch-allis Snauffer, dramatist, who with the aid of her husband, Donald Snauffer, produced, A Married Mau's Misery. which met with much approval. Ila Deardorf, the great ranch woman, has loaned her beautiful ranch for making the new movie production 'by Dorothy Syme, starring Vadna Williard and Richard Smith. They are using some of her prize cattle in the picture. The next day as I started for my train I saw a magnificent marble building, bearing the inscription: Miss McGillivary's School of Art for Girls , which was carved over the entrance. Upon conversing with my friend, Jean, I asked what became of her friend, Gladys Toal- ston. She replied that Gladys is the mother of a happy family. In her spare time she writes scenarios for the movies and has made quite a success of it. Arriving at the station I boarded my train and soon found myself at my destina- tio-n, Minerva. As I walked through the downtown district of Minerva, America'-s greatest city, a blazing sign met my eyes that read Reed's Gayet'y, operated and owned by Abraham Reed, the theatre king. I went in an-d took a seat, and on the stage was William Risher, the famous humorist and song-and-dance man, doing his stuff. In the orchestra pit sat Cathren Marlowe and her Syncopators, featuring Wickersham's Struggle Buggy Blues, a piece of music which has taken the country by storm. Having supped from the nectar of knowledge within the portals of Old Minerva High School, Gertrude Marty is now disseminating that knowledge for the benefit of the rising generation. In other words she is teaching school. Urgent business called me to my next destination, where the first thing I saw was a smiling crowd just two blocks from the depot. I went up to investigate and found a woman of stron-g mind, strong will and stronger temper! A lecturer on a strong subject-an educated lady demonstrating her independence of man. I looked again-I could hardly believe my eyes!-it was Gladys Hilverding. After the show was over the crowd dispersed, and I stepped up to greet her. She recognized me read- ily and told me Veronica Davis had a beauty parlor just around the corner. She has perfected a marcelle waver for the 'extreme 'boyish bob. We went there for a visit. Just as we were about to step in, a good looking man going the opposite direction, bumped into me and fell over. I helped him regain his foothold and lo! I was peering into the face of Frank Grubbs. We shook hands and the four of us had a regular reunion. He said he had been slightly injured in an auto accident. It was nothing serious, but he was sent to a hospital. There he was treated by Doctor Crowl under the tender care of the six head nurses, Misses McFadden, McKnight, Mehnert, Vande- grift, Weir and Unkefer. He had completely recovered in two days, but he stayed there a month. I found that Winnie Eick and Ruth Ray are making good in a law firm. Their shingle says: EICK AND RAY Attorneys At Law Pearle Cameron is a successful Chautauqua entertainer of great repute, and is considered to be one of the best in her line. I was surprised to learn that Esther McKarns has the care of a large family and is greatly concerned as to the correct food they should eat. The doctor comes around every day to look after them until they become old enough to be put on sale. Esther owns a thriving dog business. Pauline Gray, the owner of a large Cafe in New York City, has as her assistants, Bernice Walker and Gladys Hosack. The special attraction that week was Ethelyn Jennings and Florence Bonar in their latest dance called, Twirlish Twister. Mr. Arthur Harsh, the inventor of the great mechanical device for controlling the energy of the tidal waves, has taken as his secretary, Robert Knight. After I reached home my thoughts went back to stir up again the fond mem- ories of H. S. and my friendships formed there. Page Twenty-five . , i
