TQ Q Q Q2 Did you know that Carl Gappinger is tripping the light fantastic toe in the Ziegfield Follies. Ruby is his dancing partner. They have all New York at their feet. Of course you know that Vera has taken the veil and is at St. Mary's Convent trying to mend her broken-heart. Her fiance eloped with a mani- curist on her wedding day. Vera's life has indeed been sad. Warren Hastings has revived again the name of Hastings by being known throughout the world for his wonderful achievements along the radio line. I also see in the Mirror that Forrest Hoffman is residing on the old Hoffman homestead and making a great success as a stock-raiser. Our old chum, Edith, is married and living in a rose-covered cottage along the Hudson. Her husband has sold his retaurant and they are rais- ing mushrooms. Virgil Conrad is a minister and is preaching the Gospel in Dallas, Texas. You know Virgil always seemed inclined toward the ministry. I see that Marie Hayes is a Red Cross nurse and has gone abroad. I can hardly imagine Marie as a nurse, can you? Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Matthews are living in Canada. Lee is an elec- trical engineer and Velma is quite well known as an authoress. Velma's latest book is Lovey Doveyf' Have you read it? Ford has never married and is touring the south in the interests of the anti-tobacco league. He is called the silver-tongued orator of the West- ern Hemisphere. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Prickett are out here in California. Fred is the Prof. of Physics in the University of California. Mary has gained fame by her illustrations in the Ladies Home Journal. They were in Los Angeles last week and came to see me. It was just like old times. Katherine just came in and she sends her love and says to tell you she likes the movies very much. I suppose you are enjoying your work among the heathen and are well and happy. Wishing you future success, I remain your friend and class- mate. ATHENE CLAYTON. 21

Mm Q Q 22 SENIOR CLASS SONG We're a class thats quite fast, Our good day's aren't past, W e're always in something so mean. Our teachers are unjust. They say study, we must, But don't you think we're so green. Chorus. Now a class just like us, Can stir up a fuss, Or we can be so good and kind and always mind. We're full of pep! So watch our step! We've always though, while others slept. Now a class just like ours, We never keep late hours. We've always had good grades you'll find. We are the class of '22. Yes Seniors never blue. We'll leave the rest of the classes behind. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Los Angeles, Calif. June 5, 1932. Miss Bonnie Rinard, Peking, China. Dear Bonnie: I was very glad to hear from you as I want to keep in touch with all my old classmates. Katherine and I are starring for Paramount pictures and we are hard at work on our next picture which is Why Girls Leave Home, in three parts. Last week I received a 1932 Mirror from Leo Cler who is teaching in the Albion High School. Looking over the Alumni, I found accounts of every member of the class of '22. 20
