doing excellent work in teaching the innocent and unsuspecting natives our civilization. From Egypt, I proceeded on a tour of Arabia. I had looked forward to meeting the famous Sheik, Franko-el-Gibbad. Imagine my astonishment when I found this sand-swept individual to be none other than Frank Cib- bons. He introduced me to Chandu, the magician, and Clarence Blunt, who had charge of the camels. He also demonstrated his harem to me. tAmong these dusky ladies I thought I recognized Edna Jones, Carol Stone, and Bessie Chernoff, but I was too discreet to ask any personal questions l. lVIy next stop was in India, where l found John Cleary blissfully reclin- ing on a bed of spikes. He informed me that he had been valet to the Mahatma, but nearly went crazy keeping that noble personas clothing in order. He said that the job of fakir brought him quite a sum from the tourists, and that he would soon be able to retire. I took a short trip through the Indian jungle, where I was astonished to meet Kathleen Brown and llauline Collins hunting big game. They ex- plained that they had been unable to get their man and were gathering in- formation from the native Ngo-gettersf' In Borneo, my next stop, I found Helen Dempsey and Mina Slater drinking tea and entertaining some of the British nobility. They later in- formed me that they were so very successful in business that they had de- cided to take a permanent vacation and were waiting for love to come rid- ing, walking, swimming, or flying. In the Philippines I was fortunate to meet Eleanor McCabe and Tony Caller. They were employed by the United States government to keep the natives so well entertained that they would not need independence. The Cov- ernor General told me that they were loved by all the natives and had brought many of the eastern styles to the belles of the isles. After leaving the Philippines I went to Hawaii where I was pleasantly surprised to find Winnie Lloyd and Florence Diehl shaking a leg on the beach at Waikiki. They were wearing palm leaves and were surrounded by a group of admiring beachcombers. One of them explained that they had introduced some new steps that had revolutionized the Hula-Hula. Once more I boarded the ship, this time bound for home. I regret very much that I was unable to see Australia, for it is a well known fact that Bessie Jacobson is raising sheep on that curious continent. She has given up civilized life in disgust, and seems to prefer the company of ewes and bucks to that of her fellow creatures. However, I consider myself very fortunate in having met nearly all the members of my high school class. When we graduated, I was certain that we were an unusually talented group, and the years have proven this fact. If, Mr. Editor, you can find room for this article in your publication, I believe that you will receive the approval of the students of your school because we have set a shining example of what can be made from innocent children. I sincerely hope that all future graduates of W. C. S. may have all the health and happiness that have been ours during the past years. ' Respectfully yours, Gilbert I... Steinmann.
