This was spoken by Virginia Klotter, private detective for Miss Janet Hausser's boarding house. You know the kind I mean: 358.00 per 5 clean towels extra. As they were sitting before the fireplace in the living room the doorbell buzzed, and the chief-cook-and-bottle-washer rushed out to open the door. When the man at the door steppedlinto the hall, Don gave a shout of delight, for it was his old friend and classmate, Roy Hauck, now a photographer, travel- ing around taking pictures of mothers' darlings, mounted on his pony Fifef' The four settled themselves for a pleasant evening, recollecting high school days. As they were discussing old-time friends, Roy Hauck brought out some pictures. One was of a boy and girl, twins, children of Florence Schmuelling now married and living in Billings, Montana. This proved a pleasant surprise. Then someone suggested tuning in on the radio. The first thing on the program was a soprano solo by Julia Hauer. Well, of all things! exclaimed Janet. Imagine Julia making all that noise when she used to be so quiet! It was a New York station broadcasting, and next came an announcement, Bill Lange's Revue, featuring Laura Baumbachf' Say, said Don, there's news of two more of our class. Gee, but I'd like to know what the rest are doing. Hold on, cut in Roy, hear what this guy has to say. A harmonica solo by George Rattenbury of the Middletown Symphony Orchestra, was heard over the air. Can you beat that? asked Virginia, and I thought George would surely be a druggistf' The next morning's paper announced the arrival of the Barnes Circus in town with the main attraction Gladys Duvall, a sword swallower. So the five classmates made up a party to go on to the circus. After lunch they called a taxi, and who should be driving but their dear old friend, Miriam Sarles. She was so overjoyed at seeing them that she forgot to keep within the speed limit 23

Firstly, whatsoever funds our Treasurer may have overlooked, the aforesaid February Class of 1927 puts into the trust of the Silhouette, to be used for future annuals, in loving memory of others who may be about to depart this life of scholarly seclusion. Furthermore, the members of this class do hereby separately and individ- ually make bequests as enumerated hereinafter, to wit, as follows: Edwin Barnes wills his phenomenal voice to the hero of Mr. Cook's next operetta. Roy Hauck leaves in Miss Jacob's book-case the wisdom of the owl that spent a bell with the class one day in January. Milo Walton leaves a hearty laugh ringing through N. H. S. halls. Julia Hauer wills her textbooks to the janitors,with the proviso that they return the ashes. Virginia Klotter bequeaths the remains of a ten-cent mirror, hoping that it may save from seven years of misfortune all others guilty of feminine vanity. Clifford Benjamin leaves the detention hall none the worse for his use of it. Miriam Sarles leaves a worn spot in front of the Lost and Found. Florence Schmuelling bequeaths her fashion designs to the art classes. Don Stohlman leaves with Miss Fairweather a worn and marked French book to aid some student not blessed with language ability. Gladys Duvall bequeaths a buttered roll to the birds who frequent the bird bath. George Rattenbury leaves at 8.29 94 f 100 A. M. Janet Hausser bequeaths a new copy of College Humor to the school library.

Of course, she could not arrest her old chum, so they proceeded to the circus. There they hunted up the owner to have a chat with him. Eddie told them of his meeting with Elmer Corey. Much to their surprise at the impossible, they found that Elmer was a modiste in Paris, under the name of M. Les I-Iaricots Verts. A As the party was leaving the circus they heard cries of anguish coming from a near-by building and rushed in to find the cause. There was Milo Walton, as a chiropodist, hacking away at a client's foot. How very strange, indeed, is life. In less than twenty-four hours all the graduates of February,,27 , had seen or heard of one another. Alas! no,not all- for where was Cliff Benjamin? This question Milo easily answered, for Cliff was just at that time painting the face of a clock on a church tower down the street. Milo knew this, for Cliff was one of his patients. Now that the locations of all the class members were known, a reunion was suggested, and Janet offered her boarding house Qfree of chargej to her old classmates. The invitations have been sent out. Hurrah for the Class of February, '27! May they have a happy reunion. JANET HAUSSER, VIRGINIA KLOTTER. 24
