RENOCAHI Marion Chance had an interest in Ellington Drug Company, and Lib Stocks had an interest in XYilliams and Company. Lindsey Smith was successor to his father, and Spencer Smith was pitching for the Giants. Blueford Mooriield was in business with Mr. Henry Ford. Edna lYagner was a Cabaret Dancer. Bessie IYashburn was teaching Spanish at Cornell University. Harry XYeatherly was running a prosperous poultry farm. Christine Johnson and Beatrice XYilliams had opened a tea room in Florida near Frances Butler's winter hotel. Elizabeth McGehee was a celebrated piano artist. Loula B. Clark was with the Reidsyille Rc-z'z'ctt', and Ioettie Elling- ton was keeping' the Home Fires Burning. Une of the most astonishing things I read, though, was that Irma Simpson was going to run against Tom Wvilson, who is linishing up his term, for President in the next election. I might add here that Edna Earle lIcGehee, after her late husband's death, Mr. Briggs, has become the wife of the President. Of course, he's more of a yice- president when she's around. By the time I had read all the leaves it began to grow dark. I picked up my pad and strolled out of the caye in the wood, meditating on what I had seen. H. C. PAMPLIN, Class Pl'c7fflc'f.

RBNOCAHI Mary Grogan and Lorraine Grogan were local photographers for Mr, Throckmorton's studio in New York. After reading these it seemed that I would have to stop there be- cause I had read all the leaves. I arose as if to go, but only stood there disappointed because I was not going to hear from each of my class- mates. But suddenly a gust of wind blew into the mouth of the cave. It circled around and then sank deep into the cave. Before I had time to wonder at it, it came whistling back but this time from the heart of the cave. To my surprise it was driving some new leaves before it. The leaves were deposited right where I had found the others, then the wind blew on out. These leaves were of the same description as the first ones, so I quickly resumed my former position and eagerly began to read them. I learned from the first one that- Reuben Xlfindsor was owner of the Beagle Kennels and on account of the severe winter and black tongue was enabling Mr. lVhitsett to sell Hot-dawgsn two for five cents. Also Charlie lIoss's deficiency as Reidsvilles tratlic cop has made M r. Eugene XVay's undertaking establishment a paying business. Robert VYalker was picking peaches for Mack Sennett and get- ting paid for it, too. I had already heard some of Margaret Lea Millner's lectures over my radio on How to Keep Him. But I didn't until then know that Lou Harris was superintendent at an orphanage at Brown Summit. I learned that Bessie and Elsie Cox had a inillinery shop at Reidsf ville, and that lithel Butler was the county welfare worker. Lois Lively and Mary Strader were stenographers for a sardine factory in Norfolk, Ya. Helen Newell had become rich selling Eskimo Pies. I read that Charlie Mcliinney with his jitney from Danville to Greensboro is cooperating with Iiugene Xlray and Charlie Moss. .-Xmos Butler was at the head of a corrspondence school on stutter- ing. It didn't seem possible, but I read that Alan Stokes had struck oil in his back yard and was now an oil king. I notice where three of my classmates had become members of the R. H. S. faculty: in fact, Glenn Smith was principal, Sallie Dobbs was the home ex. teacher, and Mabel Butler was teaching' history and 6 ,Nnnie lVootton was coaching the girls' basket-ball team. ?4 W
