sound waves of years and years ago which are still floating in the air. One night last week he thinks he tuned in Julius Caesar who was ,giving a great speech in the Roman Forum. He also heard Magellan, George Washington, and Daniel Boone. Quite an invention, in-deed! The Gorman sisters are very successful in having a great chain of candy stores over the entire United States. The remarkable part of it lies in the fact that they opened their first confectionery shop in Reynolds. Herbert Fisher is the principal chef at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City. That hotel is becoming very popular because of the delicious food which is served. Herbert has invented several new dishes. In order to prove his originality, he says he has never tasted or heard of them before fnor anyone elsej. Vivian Decker was always such a tender-hearted little girl. She has founded a home at 726 street, New York City, for Homeless Sparrows and Maltese Cats. I hear that she has quite a time keeping the sparrows and cats separated. Poor Vivian! Ruth Dunn is a famous violin player. Ruth spent twelve years in Europe stu-dying the violin. She seems to live in her music. The very largest audiences welcome her wherever she goes on her concert tours. Oh, yes. Gerald Greer is now the world's champion of that deep but fascinating game, Tiddely-Winks. He and his wife, formerly Myrna Mayhew, have been around the world and are returning home via San Francisco. Have you heard the scandal? Marie Barrell is at Reno, Nevada, for a few weeks. Freda Young is making her life a Life of Service. She is a nurse on the steamship, Carolina, and cares for victims of seasickness. Freda is preparing a diary which she intends to publish some day. No doubt it will be filled with accounts of many perplexing situations and humorous incidents. I forget to mention Opal Harris, when telling of those who are with the circus. Of all the surprises! You would not recognize Opal now. She is the most attractive feature of the circus. Imagine this! She weighs five hundred pounds. Without a doubt for an equall she is the fattest woman in the world. Six chickens, four cakes, three pies, ten large potatoes, three loaves of bread, and two gallons of ice cream make but a dainty morsel for Opal. She refuses to see anyone unless she receives her regular five meals a day. It is feared that she will financially ruin the show, for it takes a large percent of the gate receipts to buy her food. Her old friend, Dorothalene Litzenberger, faithfully waits upon Opal-even arising at three o'clock in the morning to give Opal her fifth meal. Dorothalene finds that the work is too strenuous for herg and she is coming home soon for a much needed rest. Extra! Hele-n Sutton is a happy member of Ziegfield's latest chorus, and she is dancing her way to success behind the footlights on Broadway. I suppose you know that Jennie and I have just returned from Melbourne, Australia. While there we worked in a little fruit store which was just across the streetfrom the telephone office where Alice O'Day is working. Alice likes this work and finds it convenient in the fact that she calls her motlier in Aledo daily and has quite a chat with her. While in Melbourne, Alice kept Jennie and I well supplied with news from the Old Home Town. I must stop now as I have written something about each member of our old class of '26, I hope you will enjoy this information as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Your old Pal, Donna Olin. 20 The Astrum-Aledo 'High School '
