that julie Sachs and Ruth Harris were touring through Kalamazoo and giving violin recitals. There was a rumor that these two artists refused to play unless the various managers could assure them of an appreciative audience. Alice Hawxhurst, she told me, had been using her artistic ability to advantage, since she was drawing cartoons entitled Molly and her Gals, for the Echo, which had finally grown to be sixteen pages. As I came to shore I noticed a lady clutching in one hand a bag and endeavoring to count some bills in the other. 'F if RE M i N i see Wrme I Q83 1lf6llQ1l4'.9 'ir' L No other than Alice Henry. Alice was a bank treasurer and preferred to do her business at Roton where the pleasant surroundings inspired her. Being treasurer for the Class of '20 helped her immensely. At her side was Dora Horwitz, now a social secretary. She was chewing gum which she said Bill Gregory had given her, while he had given her a ride to Roton in his Ford car. He was a dealer in Ford cars and, as of old, he continued to support Wrigley's Gum Company. Hyman Kaplan was running a school for those who desired to learn the Roman languages. He was always very good in languages in school. Ben Edison was in China, studying the habits and dress of the people. This seemed quite superfluous since he always had been very informed on this sub- ject. Why, he could even eat Chinese nuts, a feat which I could never accom- plish. As usual, Dora knew a lot of gossip. Going home, I met Williani Ward, who was now on the Directors' Board of the Library. I wasn't surprised and I could bet that they put Bill on the Board with hopes that he wouldnlt come around so much. Royal Wilson was a magistrate and was extremely lenient with those who were arrested for exceed- ing speed laws, since he had had the experience time and again himself. Tim- othy Maher had established a grocery store and as a side lineddrove the Parcel Post cart. Jack Coates, Bill informed me, was a great electrician. His latest invention was a self-dresser and a machine by which a student was assured to graduate without any study on his part, and .lack's only regret was that he could not use the latter. Then I came back to every day,life and I never was so rewarded for my trouble. I do hope that some of this is right. l've written quite a lot today, so I think I'll stop.
