He travels over the country selling it and enjoyslife immensely. The Suffragette. too must not be forgotten. Perhaps Koneta Stewart, hy her efforts and speeches will prove to be the greatest of all. She is working hard for votes for women. But Lulah Sanders, who has gone back to nature, is getting the most out of life. She has taken up a homestead in Mon- tana and breaths the pure air of the West. She has had many suitors, but rejected them all, she is a confirmed old maid. And most miraculous of all, Lonnie Musser is an evange- list in northern U. S. He travels from place to place as did Billy Sunday, but far exceeds him. He has even learned to sit on a chiar without falling under the table. Nothing ever happens but the unexpected. Orville Rapp plays the funny part in the world's latest play. He was always so quiet and harmless. but his acting, always excellent, has developed into the sublime. Ruth McMillin suddenly developed a hitherto unknown talent. She has become known for her beautiful paintings, which merit the best of praise. Praise must also be given to, Viola Games for enduring her lot so well. She is conducting kindergarten in Waynesfield, and, O! for her how sad this fate must be. Irvin Harrod is also still in Waynesfield. His father has given him a team of mules and he keeps bachelor quarters and is running a dray in the village. Over the mighty deep sails a ship upon whose deck walks a most distinguished and stately man. David Gilmer. after finishing his course at Wayne High, entered Anapolis and is now Captain of one of the greatest in the U. S. Navy. And last and also least in stature, though not otherwise, is Winona Fasig. She has taken a domestic science course in an eastern college and is looking for a position as housekeeper. Last! Ah! Yes last. The muttering had ceased and nothing more was to be seen or heard. I was entirely left out in the cold, not even of enough importance to be considered. 'NJ

Glass ropbesy BY EDNA PATTERSON. HORRIBLE FATE! What shall I do? I must learn the fates of the members of that memorable Class of '14 before I shall know any peace? Surely this is a task envied by no one. But how can I learn the fates of the members of this class, and where must I go ? Such thoughts were puzzling my brain when one stormy night in the winter of 1920, as the wind was raging and tearing thru the forests and rushing over the plains, I sat down before my fireside and racked my brain for some method of learning these troubles. Suddenly, yet silently, the door opened, and into the room glided the beautiful form of a fairy goddess. She beckoned me to come With her, and as I arose to follow, she left the room, and led me over hill and dale far away from my native land, 'till at last I found myself at the Delphian oracle of Apollo, a place celebrated of old. Here over a cavern was the holy tripod upon which was seated the priestess Pythia, thru whose mouth Apollo was wont to speak. She received the vapors ascending from the fissure beneath, and with them came the inspiration of the Delphian god. As she breathed those vapors she began muttering to herself, and as I listened stupified, these were the words that I heard : Arthur Hayes, the spirit and life of the class of '14 of Wayne High is destined to be a grocer. He who was once so seemingly wild, though at heart not so bad, has turned a new leaf and is now as steady as the spirit of Job. Charley Stewart, called Bulletts, who was always a com- pa.nion in mischief, has taken a, course in agriculture at 0.S.U. and is now managing his father's farm. In a western city far away overthe plains and mountains, many miles from her old home town, Dora Horn is ministering to the sick and afflicted. She, who was always so gentle and kind, could not have a mission more blessed. Eldon Buff has not yet forgotten zero and is working day and night to secure absolute zero, but he has failed, so far, absolutely. ' Floyd Barnett has wandered the farthest of all. As a missionary to a foreign field in the interior of China among the heathens, he feeds the hungry souls with words of consola- tion. He must certainly have forgotten Catholicism. Of the basket ball players of the class there is one who has made himself famous. Harry Gossard is the champion basket ball player of the world. He prefers, even at this day, to eat fish for breakfast and play Prospect in the world's basket ball series. Another, too, has made himself known to the world, though not in the same way. Harry Howell has a patent medicine of his own which has proved a blessing to mankind.
