YEAR BOOK, 1927 19 Then Katherine told me that almost everyone knew about Edith's suc- cess and fame. While she was in America she was under the manage- ment of Flo Ziegfeld and now she was in Paris, under the greatest vaudeville instructor ever known to Europe. Edith took the leading part in our Senior play, and apparently she has been taking the lead- ing parts ever since. I thanked Katherine for the information and started on my way. I gave one long look back at my old home town and the dear, red brick building, where I received my High School education. EVELYN HARTWELL SCHOOL CALENDAR, 1926-I 927 FOOTBALL SEASON Score: N. H.

18 THE SASSAMON thin and Doris told me, through some reducing tablets, prepared and marketed by Eunice Foy. Still in a daze, from such a surprise, I drove off, but soon stopped at a card shop to send some cards back to my friends in Euope. When I entered the shop I saw a very sedate and stately lady at the counter, and, sure enough, it was Marjorie Glidden. She hadn't changed a bit. Her card shop was everything a card shop should be and I secured my cards and went on my way once more. From there I took a ride through the town of South Natick. How peaceful and quiet it seemed! On the right was a large farm, where a woman was hanging out a washing large enough for several families. The woman was Mildred Gould. Mildred told me she was in charge of the farm, which produced most of the crops for South Natick. She pointed to a garden, where several people were working. Mary Beirne, clad in overalls, was superintending the planting of potatoes. Dorothy Barnicle was called the Dressmaker of the farm, as she dressed the chickens every Sunday. It was getting late, so I drove back to the hotel. Having some time to wait before supper, I picked up a local paper and sat in the lobby to read. The headlines read as follows: HEXTRA! EXTRA! AGNES CHAMPNEY BREAKS WORLD'S RECORD IN CROSSING LNGLISH CHANNEL! Well, I guess Agnes obtained her swimming ability from the training at Dug Pond. In the Local Gossip it stated that Charlotte Mitchell had just announced her engagement to a millionaire rubber manufacturer. Another topic gave in full detail, news about a farewell party given for Evelyn Souckup and Gladys Marshall, on the eve of their departure for Europe. They were to sail at noon on the Leviathan. Under the school notes I noticed the following list of new teach- ers for the High School, for the coming term: Aurora Tamagno, French Dorothy Livingston, American History Josephine Inferrere, Commercial English Mary Hall, Commercial Law and Economics Greta Hughes, Gym teacher and a special trainer in basketball. This list seemed to be very well selected. Back in High School days these people proved very brilliant in the subjects they are now going to teach. The evening soon passed away and the next day found me pack- ing my things ready to return to New York, for further orders. As I was leaving the building, Katherine Moran came in. After a few words of greeting she told me she had just returned from Paris, where she had entered her drawings in the art contest. I was glad to hear she had won the first prize. There is just one more person I would like to know about , I said. Who is that? asked Katherine. Edith Pierce, I replied.
