sitting- astride a donkey, which had decided to take its noon nap, regardless of the traffic. I drew closer and found the farmer to be none other than Ralph Walker. He removed the corn-cob pipe from his mouth and told me how “the missus,” Isabelle Ackerman, and he had “hit the world together.” He described their cozy little nook, about ten miles away, where “Izzy” and the pigs and chickens were waiting for him and their mode of trans- portation, Annabelle. When “Annabelle” awoke from her nap, she and Ralph leisurely wended their way through the city. I entered an old-fashioned store down the street, just from curiosity. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Jane Scott standing on a table before hundreds of envious-eyed people. She was holding aloft shining trinkets, and with her pleasant smile and ready words she was auctioning them off. Alta Haley was handing the articles to Jane. These two pretty girls were spending their spinsterhood days working in their little shop in Springfield. It made me wonder where their school sweethearts were. Since it was time for me to return to New York, I bought a ticket and boarded a train. As I v as speeding through the country, I caught a glimpse of a group of workmen. As they turned to watch the train, I rec- ognized Jack Looney, the foreman. When he noticed that his men were not working, he kicked the mud-smeared biggest one of the bunch. By the cry that followed I knew the victim to be Lenard Robertson. Ah my, what hopes we used to have for him. 'I hank goodness, it was not a prison gang! When I arrived at my hospital in New York, whom should I find waiting there but the smashed-up remains of Don Morris. When the train, of which he was engineer, would not go faster, he had hooked it to a fast- flying airplane overhead. The hospital was the result. I’ve often thought it best that the hard-working teachers at A.H.S. could not see us as we are today, for in the good old days, they used to dream that one of us would be President of the United States!
