Cameron, judge of the Supreme Court, and that is his wife who was Lunnette Nl'eNaughton. XVI' were almost in the eity when I saw sitting on the poreh of a neat little eottage Gladys Ilamilton. She is Nlrs.

You will he surprised too, when I tell you I learned that Iiarl Iletherford had done more for the world than any of us.

Ile is assisted in his talks hy his faithful follower. Catherine NleCrillus. 'I'here's Nina Ball, she is so small I had almost forgotten her. She has given tier life up to solitude and prayer and is now in one of the eonvents known now as Sister Mary. Little did we think when Nlelvin Livengood hegan his eareer hy writing verses on the lllaeklroard that he would he one of the most noted poets of his time. Marjorie Iirown is now teaehing the most eomplieated danees ill the sehool whieh she has estahlished at Chieago.

As we were walking down the main street I was attraeted lay the name of .lohn Nlaier on the hill hoard of one of the leading theaters. XVhen I eame elose enough I read: John Nlaier, NIuneie's Noted Clarinet Player. XVe walked on and as I eame near the eourt house I saw Iflorenee XVood, who holds a position there. eome running down the steps. As she neared the last step tier foot slipped and she fell to the sidewalk. Florenee, you rememher. always did have a failing for stair steps when she was in sehool. As we walked in the dwarf told me many more interesting things. I was very mueh surprised when he told me that Ifred Stradling who has heeomr one of Nlr. l3ryan's warinesl friends, is now editor of l5ryan's Commoner, the leading Ilemoerat paper. As we turned the eorner we were attraeted hy a la1'ge erowd on the street.

It was growing late and I was anxious for rest. Before we go would you not like to see yourself? asked the dwarf. I had not thought of this, hut I assured him it would he quite a surprise. XVe walked to one of the large sehools in the eity and were shown to the Domestie Seienee room, where there were at least thirty girls in uniform busily eooking. Stepping in who should I see aeting as teaeher hut Clara Conn in white eap and apron, teaehing the girls to make doughnuts, her specialty. Clara Conn. 34

History of Class '15 Ul'R long years ago we entered the NI. N. I. XVhat a frightened group o yo ngsttis wt wut l uh one s mind was filled with some iw l G l ' 1 1 - s Q - t t lg tt '- ut- .- '-,- x Y .- 1 'tul 'W ' tale ot' how the Freshmen were treated. Having at last found our seats in the assemhly room we sank out ot' sight with a sigh ot' relieti. XVe were a large class. At the end ot' the lirst year. however, we were compelled to leave some ot' our number hehind us. The rest ot' us went happily on. Although al the heginning ot' our second year our numbers were some- what diminished, as individuals we had grown wonderfully. Iinickerbockers had given way to real suits, and the girls who the year hetore had worn curls, now wore plaits tied with ribhons at the ends, During the second year our sell' esteem increased greatly. XVe were Sophomoresf Soon we were Juniors. XYe were very important people and hegan to have class meetings and to act as much like the Seniors as possible. so that we might have the proper dignity when the great event came. XVell, the great day came at last, the day on which we became Seniors. There is nothing like heing a Senior, and one has to he a Senior to appreciate the full meaning ot' the word. And how one changes! The girls who, during the second and third years wore their hair hanging down their hacks now did it up with hair pins, and as for the hoys, you could tell hy the way they held their heads, ol' what class they were members. During the winter we took a hola-sled ride to the home ot' Oral lfurst, where a very pleasant evening was spent. Another delightful evening was spent when the class went on a hay-wagon trip to the home ol' Gladys llam- ilton. Un the last day ol' the spring term the lligh School Department held an all-day picnic on the campus. Athletics and dinner were important fea- tures ot' this. XVe look hack over the years: we see the lfreslnnan, tear-stained eyes and lnalry mouth and we say, llorrorsI was l ever as young and green as that? XVe look at the Sophomore, giggling at mere tritles, and we say, Can il he that l was ever that giddy? Then with a smile ol' amusement we watch the proud .lunior as he marches through the halls and we say, Heaven for- hidf XVas that haughty expression ever on my l'ace'? Then we wonder what they think ol' us and il' they look up to us as we looked up to those lrefore ns in years gone hy. King Norsworthy, llistorian. 86
