Read this one Dick, old fellow. 'Miss Mayme Gunnison has been added to Flo. Ziegfleld's Chorus' Well, well, she always was a graceful, smiling young lady! Oh! that reminds me Perry, that yesterday when I was looking over the marriage licenses I saw that of Edna Pritchard of Plymouth. You remember her, don't you-that shy little girl with the curls? She always vowed she was going to be an old maid. What circus is this paper advertising? Can you believe this? just think of Glenn Nance, my old pal, as manager of one of the world's greatest circuses. Here it says, 'Be sure and see Mike Biocina, the medicine man and marvel of all ages'.l' Oh yes, Dick! Let's look at the comic section of this paper. 'Tillie the Toiler' has changed I see, to 'Bina, the Stenof Can you believe it? Why it's no other than Albina Garibaldi from Drytown who has become so great that she is even featured in the funny paper. Well, well! . Look at this ad, will you? 'Annual sale on at the Manassero and Lucot Chain Stores, Conte in a rush and avoid the ear-ly.' Poor Irma always said. she was going to be a school teacher but love proved too great, I guess. Look at this Dick-some Plymouth news! 'New hotel erected in Plymouth- Alton Casagrande, proprietorf Oh yes, he resides in Plymouth-ever since his marriage, you know-! Well Perry, the women of this age are surely dare-devils. Listen to this one! 'Woman aviator dares the Arctic regions unaccompanied! The first woman to accomplish this feat!' Would you believe it Perry-nobody but our little friend, Imelda Darling. I've heard so much about her airplane, the Mooney!' I believe she is about to try her eighth venture at matrimony. Her old chum, Lorraine, however, has scorned matrimony heretofore. She too, has changed her mind for she will marry her wealthy producer this spring. She has surely taken New York by storm. Her acting thrills thousands every nighteand she still carries a white poodle! Dick, will you please turn on the radio again, for it is nearly nine. I have been waiting all week to hear Iva Murphy, one of our old schoolmates recite. And by the way, she is going to recite 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew.' Just like her, don't you think? Say Dick! Who is that wonderful bass singer? Let's look it up in the radio book, let's see, nine o'clock, it will be page sixteen. Oh look! It is none other than Eddie Levaggi, formerly of Sutter Creek. It seems as though most all our class has done something in the world. I forgot to tell you I had a letter from an old pal of mine the other day, and he said that Virginia White was in charge of the refdecorating of the White House. She always was very clever at artf-' We are certainly finding out a lot of news tonight about our old schoolfmates. Did I ever tell you that I went to that wonderful concert- in New York, and whom do you suppose were the two attractions of the evening-Mildred Cobb and Gertrude Foster, and they were marvelous. They are now ranked among the world's greatest music artists. I can hardly realize that I could possibly have gone to school with so many famous people. -Lorraine Arditto, '27 . -Alice Thomas, '27 Th irrcrn

Senior Prophecy ERVYN BENNETTS, formerly America's most noted court reporter, had but recently become private secretary to the Honorable james Perovich, U. S. Ambassador to Heelspoints. The press told how the choice was based on the efficiency of the secretary as shown by his hav' ing won the world's championship in shorthand, but Sir james and Mr. Bennetts knew another reason-a friendship which had endured from high school days. As the two men sat in the Embassy one evening, each reminiscently seemed to be thinking of the other. You've changed lots, Perry, old boy. Even now I can hardly believe you are grey, 'and that Vandyke of yours marks you as a diplomat, certainly-a conf firmed bachelor too. Well, Dick, when a fellow is old and grey like you and me he begins to wish he had married, doesn't he? But listen to that radio news-'Mr. Mario Raffetto, the fancy bootmaker, has retired from business. Mr. and Mrs. Raifetto and family will return to their sum' mer home in Naples. Dear old Pete, we knew he would rise high in the world. Listen to this news. 'Rich oil fields found on farm at Davis, Californiaf Why that is where Gertrude Culbert went to live. Whom did she marry? I don? quite remember Dick, but I think his name is Mr. Chisel. Some more radio news- Frances Benedetti has been made the head telephone operator in New York. I always thought she would be a chief operator some dayf' Did you get seats for the opera tonight? I am so anxious to hear Americas Song Bird! Don't you remember Henrietta Marks? She went to Europe to cultif vate her voice and has since been acclaimed 'America's Silver-Throated Soprano'. Oh yes, I received a paper from home today, and I found a few articles about some of our classmates. Listen to this one: 'A famed chemist makes startling gas discoveryf I always thought Raymond would be a chemist, for in the Chem. course he always made 'ones' And here is a good one: 'The White House finds a famous cook in Alice Thomasf Donxt you remember her wonderful 'Kupt' cakes which we always bought in High? Perry, look at the front society page of this paper, it looks like a girl with whom we used to go to school. Well, so it is. Miss Augusta Siebe, whose mar' riage was one of the most brilliant social affairs of the year. -We always thought she was destined to live in one of those little cottages at Electra. Here is a piece about Doris Donovan. You remember her, don't you, Dick? She has placed a bill before Congress making St. Patrick's Day a National Holiday and the Honorable Leslie Lynch has presented it. I suppose Leslie has acquired more nerve since his divorce from Helen Deaver. Oh yes, Perry, I remember reading about james Arditto, Amer-ica's noted law' yer, winning that case for Leslie. It's no wonder he can argue, for he surely used every opportunity to train himself for that in civicsf' Oh Dick, I see where Elva Sheppard left for China where she is going to take up missionary work. I hope she will have better luck than the missionaries of the last few years. Tzuelfsc

I see your joys, your hopes, your gloom, your fears, The inspirations of your day and night. And when along the vista of the past, Your future life may not be all it seems, May happy memories of your school days last, And take you to your isle of pleasant dreams. -Rod D. Smith. F rice
