NOW, here we are at the reunion. John Peterson is one of the greatest detectives in the U. S. A. Right now he is trying to solve one of the world's most baffling mysteries. Marvin Green is mayor of Rockford, and Ida Lupont is his secretary. We get a telegram from Marjorie Swanson and Marion Delaney. It says that they have an engagement to sing over the radio. Merton Lundsten. the director and a second Sousa, is also broadcast- ing his band. We are sorry that they cannot come, but since we have tele- vision, it is almost as good as having them with us. Gladys Nelson is the tallest one here; she is six feet and four inches tall. Ann Mackey and Violet Beck are stenographers. Harry Munson models airplanes, having started to develop his talent in Miss Burt's room in 1930. Herschel Yeager is a noted pilot. He just made a Iioii-stup flight, Rockford to Cherry Valley. Theodore Knock is a teacher of Latin at the Senior High School. Edward Moore is a minister. Three people have joined the circus. Robert W'elsby is the human skeleton; Helen Dochkus is a fat woman, weighing four hundred pounds; and Hazel Platt is a tight rope walker. Helen Klein, Hazel Saylor, William Powelson, and William Scott have gone into the talkies. The great Violinists, Virginia Atkinson and Donovan O'Leary, are studying abroad. Glen Person is married to Janet Lagerquist. Oliver Benjamin and Leonore Blomquist are engaged. Here comes a telegram; it reads: x itCome to New York at once. So I must leave the reunion and go home, leaving all of our old friends. FINIS. lXutographs 1930 page twenty-six
