tician in that state. The first thing that entered my mind then was that people probably began to believe the things that Wilson told them. It was the other way around in our high school days. One whole year had passed---I was nearly disgusted. Soon my hopes were renewed, for I received a report from Russia that Margaret Bulger and Carmen Garcia had become socialists and were residing there together with many other Americans who had followed that same path. Already a long time had been spent in the search, which had tired many members of the investigating staff. Some returned, others were determined to find the few who were yet unfound. The search continued and hopes were dwindling until one hot summer afternoon at the beach, a messenger boy brought me a telegram, which read as follows: laura Pool found. Also Vin- cent Kriezenbeck. Both are deep-sea divers for the U. S. Navy . fNo won- der they were hard to find, for they spent much of their lives under waterj I had no sooner read that telegram than someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked around and for a while I couldnit believe my eyes, for there stood Noveen Needham. After I regained my normal senses we began to talk of old timesg and did I appear stupid when I learned that for the last twenty years she had been living two blocks from my residence in San Fran- cisco. This last experience brought an end to my long search. Oh yes, I almost forget to tell you what my line of business isg that is, besides looking for peoplej : Mike D'Agostini and I are insurance salesmen in San Francisco. We were fortunate enough to carry a pretty good line, for our business fwhile it lastedj earned us a fair fortune. Finally, after five years, I had located all the members of the class of 1937. It cost me a lot of time and money, but I was willing to pay any price to learn what the destiny of the class of '37 had been. ---Altero D,Agostini TIME Time....... Goes on, and from its marching feet Cleans off the dust of passing falacies. And stops for naught, yet in its wake Are left the marks of countless pleasantries. Time....... A heartless tyrant ever seems, Yet after it, a brighter vision sees The good, the beautiful it leavesg Those priceless things, those cherished memories. ---Anonymous 1 6

far south, for I later learned that Remo Canale had gone to Little America on a scientific expedition and was not expected to return for good many months. I soon began to receive reports from the Orient to the effect that Jack Nickley and Helen Perovich were in China as missionaries. That was not all concerning the Orient, for I also found out that Aldo Pinotti was in China, too, but as special ambassador to that countryg and that Helen Pinelli was his private secretary. Our class was surely represented in China. What surprised me the most was the information I received that Lester Stowers and Charles Quirolo were in Hollywood making pictures. On learn- ing that bit of news, I soon sought a movie book, and there on the cover I saw that fame-seeking Hollywood team. I was almost stunned. Many months passed again before I received any more information. One day when I had entered the airport in Sacramento, I was astonished to see that an aviatrix was preparing to pilot the plane in which I was to leave for San Francisco. After approaching the plane, I discovered that the avia- trix was Mildred Emerson. But that was not all, for just then the co-pilot of the same plane appeared from the hangar, and to my utter amazement, the co-pilot turned out to be Jean Darling, another of my classmates, long sought for. It was a pleasure to fly with two old friends at the controls. After we had reached our destination, we had a long talk, and it was thru this con- versation that I learned that Adeline Moroni was a U. S. G-woman---what a strange bit of news! QI never thought that women would be U. S. detectives, but evidently Adeline thought they couldj. The two aviatrixes also had more news to tell me concerning my world-wide search. They informed me that Alfred Pinelli owned a ranch in South America, and that from what they heard he was a successful ostrich farmed. QI wonder whether Freddy has any trouble pulling necks out of the sand?j After bidding my two friends a happy farewell, I went into a tavern for refreshments, and at the door stood the proprietress, as if she were wait- ing especially for me. It was Jean LeValley. Boy, what a break for me! Another of the lost was found. The usual old-time talk was started and it wasrft until two hours later that I finally departed. I had been in San Francisco only a week when I received a cablegram from my special investigators at Australia, who were working at that point. The cablegram expressed these few words: '6Charles Cook and Clarence Barone, the two inseparables, are sheep-herders in this country. I always knew that Charlie and Clarence would remain together a few years after graduation, but I didn't realize that they would still be together after all these years. They say that an unbreakable rope binds real friendship. It certainly is true in this case. Six months passed and I was still at work in San Francisco, doing very little except eagerly waiting news from my special investigators. I was in my oihce one day when I received a long distance telephone call from South Dakota. That call informed me that Wilsoli Grillo was a successful poli- 15
