Revelations of the startling love episode in College life of a fascinating young lady, written and acted by herself supported by minor characters. ADDED ATTRACTION Florace McCool ........................... Contralto MAJESTIC THEATER We then journeyed to Philadelphia. As we were walking up Penn Avenue we saw a sign upon the door of a very large building: ’'Harry Holder-ncss Specialty in Diamonds.” Mr. Holderness informed us that Irma Garrett was conducting a hair-dressing department and manicuring establishment in this city. Desiiing to spend a day or two at Washington, D. C., we started from Quaker City. We arrived at Washington and went to visit the Capitol, and whom should we meet here but Senator Minard F. Rose. We went to Cleveland, Ohio, where wc found that Ethel Eckert (that used to he in 1918) had settled down and attending to her domestic duties, after being employed as a stenographer for two years. As we went on to Akron we met Bruce Boyers, and on greeting us, his first words were, “Come on in and take out an Insurance policy.” Bruce was making money and, incidentally, is spending some. W e thought that wc could find a number of old friends in Indiana, so we went to Purdue L'niversity, at La Fayette, Indiana. We visited the Domestic Science Department, and there found Hazel Newman as instructor. In Indianapolis we saw Roscoe Crissinger decorating the windows ,of one of the big dry goods stores. In Indianapolis, we also found 'Esther Harmon and Grace Steifel teaching in the techinal High School. As we stepped off the train in Fort Wayne we met Frank Tiffany as the train-dispaul.cr at that station. Here we also saw Bertrice Wilcox, who was, at that time, a stenographer for the General Electric Co. Upon our arrival at Angola, we started up main street and at a crossing w'e were suddenly stopped by Wade Libey, policeman, so that Robert Cole, a prominent farmer of this vicinity, could pass with a wagon load of hogs. The next day we went back to old A. H. S. and found Inez Griffin teaching in the primary grade. She informed us that Vera Callender was in Pleasant Lake, attending to her household duties. To our great disappointment we did not find as many class mates as we expected, so we decided to take a trip to the Pacific Coast. We hurried to Chicago, and as we were going down Michigan Avenue, we saw a large sign upon which appeared in large letters, “Harmon Drug Stores, Harmon Syndicate.” Being very curious, wc went in and, upon inquiry, we found that Ora Harmon, our old friend, was President of the Corporation of innumerable stores of this kind, throughout the L Jnited States. A clerk informed 11s that the famous Paid Butz, Versatile Commedian, was to appear that evening at the LaSalle theatre. e went to a foot-ball game the next afternoon, and whom should we see there but Paul Graf, chief coach of the victorious Northwestern team. We then went on to St. Louis, Mo., and here we found Paul Gay in charge of a large grain elevator. From here we went to visit Clarence Chrysler’s

ESTHER HARMON. “Sallie”—Senior Dramatics. Esth?r is not noted for anything in particular, she is just a steady, hard working student who takes things as they come and seldom makes remarks. GRACE BERI.JKN. Grace expresses great preference for domestic life and is entirely out of sympathy with the suflragettes. Senior Class Prophecy After returning from seven years of Red Cross work in France we decided to call on our old class-mates of the graduating class of 1918. As we landed in New York we were assailed by a small boy selling magazines. We bought one of him to read while we were resting. When looking through it, we were greatly surprised to find an article written by Russell Flaishains entitled “Why 1 am an Author. We went down the avenue and noticed a sign before one of the theatres: GONDA GARES (Herself) ---in---- THE COLLEGE SIREN

large ranch in the midst of the wheat raising district in Dakota. At his home we also met Bertha Johnson, who was hoarding there and teaching in a country school near by. We traveled on west to Salt Lake City, where we met Florence Vast chaperoning a party of girls at a summer resort. We visited her for a day or two, and then started on our journey. We went to Seattle, Wash., to visit the Naval Station, Fred Gay was the manager. We recognized him at once by his stern voice, which we remembered from our history class, back in 1918. We boarded a steam-ship at Seattle to make our trip southward to San Francisco, and whom should we meet on board but Enos Parsell. as Purser. When we landed at Los Angeles, instead of San Francisco, we attended a theatre, and there we found our friend Marie Ellis as danseuse. Her ability had been recognized by the greatest critics of America and Europe, and she was starting with a company which had been organized by Polowa. Pa v Iowa. We started fee Colorado, and the next week we spent at the light occupa tion of sight-seeing in the vicinity of Denver. While traveling about we were greatly surprised when we found Dorothea Pence, dressed in real cowgirl fashion, and she informed us that she owned a large ranch nearby. We stopped in Denver and. being very much in need of new hats, we entered a millinery store, where we found Rachael Bohner as proprietor. Then we went to Kansas City to spend a few days and there we saw in the papers that Maurice Parsell was chief engineer of the municipal lighting plant. We then went down the Missouri River to Jefferson City, where we had a two-hour wait for a change of steamers. We wandered about the city, then went back to the station, and while looking over some city papers, we saw in the advertising column the following announcement: Wanted: Pupils in Piano Forte. Taught by Leschetizky method. Beginners preferred. Phone 6135. Miss Lillian Taylor, 2136 Monroe Ave. Soon our steamer arrived and we hurried on back to St. Louis. We stopped there to visit some relatives and they told us that we should spend a day at the Art Institute, so we spent the next day at that place. To our great surprise we found Troas Wells and Ruth Graf under the instruction of a famous painter. We then started for dear old Indiana, the “Hoosier” state, and while on our way we were compelled to stop at Macomb, Illinois, on account of a railroad wreck near that place. We decided that it would be a good place to rest a day or two. On the street we met Mildred Wolfe (now Teirnan). She was so pleased to see us that she invited us to spend a few days at her home. When we left we assured Mildred that she was a charming hostess, indeed. So, in a few days we were back in Angola, and were quite satisfied that we had had a very enjoyable trip, and the time well spent, as we had seen and heard of all our old class mates of 1918 Signed: Ruth Zabst.
