sive art shop in North Hollywood. We'll have to drop around and see her some time. That's surely fine for Pauline. I always knew she could do it, said Harry, And, oh yes, isn't this June 10, 1937? Say, it is! This is the opening night for Cassie I-lansen's latest play, Two Crooks and a Lady, starring the famous actress, Ethelene Woodington, and her leading man, Frances Edmonds. Dee Williamson and Eustaus Long are the two crooks. We simply must see that picture. What do you say we go? The picture was the best ever, and to cap it off there was a vaude- ville long to be remembered. The prologue contained some musical numbers by the famous composer, Russell Roberts. They were played by Johnnie Fiesel's well-known orchestra. This was followed by a vocal solo by Edward Price, accompanied by his wife, Dorothy, at the piano. The program closed with a violin solo written and played by Clifford Ruppel, who had replaced Frit Kreitzler. On the way home Eileen said, Isn' it wonderful how our class has progressed? In all of our talks I don't believe we have mentioned the oerson who made all of our success possible. Mrs. Boynton, our class teacher, so very dear to all of us, has likewise brought other classes through the same trials of the four years just as she did for us. Harry added, Pm afraid we could never thank her enough for what she has done for us. She was a wonderful teacher and friend, agreed both Tom and Ray The two then left their friends and went on their own wav, reflecting over the success or failure of the different members of the Class of 1927 of Torrance.
