rnpbenp fur inns, 1918 Qllass My spirit of Wanderlust led me to far-away China where the oddity and quaintness of the people produced a strange fascination. Nothing could prevent my exploring one large temple, which had held me spellbound from the moment I had first seen it. Finally, with one diminutive guide, I started on my trip of exploration. Its oriental beauty filled me with delight, for I found each new treas- ure more marvelous than the last. In our roving we came to a closed door studded with beautiful gems, from which radiated a strange light. My guide appeared frightened and attempted to draw me away, but his efforts merely heightened my curiosity, so, brushing past him I flew to the door and turned the knob. Gradually I felt myself becoming unconscious and when I awoke I was lying on a divan powerless either to move or speak. This startled me and I began to weep. A tear dropped on one of the jewels inlaid in the Hoor. Immediately I was miraculously gifted with the wisdom of a seer. The image of my old classmates of June, 1918, and their activities appeared before me. The first of that long row is Jack Kimmick who, true to former predictions, has become a famous historian. Indeed, he is engaged in trying to trace the almost extinct German race. Next comes William Ash, that eminent lawyer who specializes in wills. It is he who made the wills for Paul Chevalier and his me- chanician, Frank Schotters, before their departure for Europe. Paul and Frank are now making record aerial trips from France to America, and Frank is a great help in time of need. He is particu- larly valuable when the engine stops in mid-ocean. Now lawyers Ash and John Daugherty are trying to break up the crap-shooting element in Terre Haute, with Harold Hollister as their star witness. The sound of music arrests my thought. Harriet Sherwood, of nineteen-eighteen fame is still singing the old class song accompanied by Eva Moldthan, the brilliant violinist. What more natural than that at this time a voice should be heard repeating snatches of poems, and I recognize Helen Newmanis lyric uI've Finished to Begin Againf' My classmates begin to come rapidly. Oscar Ries, who showed such promise as an orator while still in school, appears in my vision making his speech on uThe Chewing Gum Cursef' which brought him world wide fame. Some of his success is attributed to Dorothy Watson who accompanies him as the pitiful example of the curse.

.Eff ........................ ....................... I see Harry Woodsmall who, after an extensive education of two weeks at Purdue University, has assumed control lby hook or crook? of a system of movie shows throughout the state. His most efficient manager is Donald Dynes. Some of the popular movie stars that they show are Alice Eickenberry and Ruth Phythian. Mary Haymaker soon developed talent as an actress and is known through- out the country as ulsittle Eva. Who are those figures as weary and disconsolate going into that shop? Can they be the same people now coming out, so radiantly beautiful? Ah! the vision is clear, they have been transformed in the beauty parlor of Dorothy Hood and Thelma Browning which is situated in the heart of the thriving city of Broad Ripple. There is something familiar about the beautiful girl in the display window demonstrating the wonders of the Browning powder. Now I recognize her voice as that of Harriet De Golyer, their most successful demon- strator. - There is a similar transformation of the men going on directly across the street. They, too, are going in dejected and careworn. Now they return fresh and full of life and their eyes are clear. The splendid figure of the proprietor now standing in the door is David Batchelor, owner of the 4'Batchelor Barber Shop. Now I see some of the studious members of my class, who have taken education as their life work. Bess Hartley an expression teacher, has found HThe Road to Yesterday? Martin Dickie is pro- fessor of mathematics at Butler College. Marjorie Freeman, of class-play fame, is a second Aunt Harriet, and Kathryn Martinls hair has turned quite gray over the great care of a large family. What is that terrible, deafening noise? It is a jitney driven by Andrew Taylor, owner of an enterprising Ford agency in Muncie. Surrounded by large posters and pamphlets we see David Jordan now the advertising manager, still dressed in his faded ofiicer's uniform. Two very distinguished gentlemen appear before me now. One is HLong Billw Jungclaus, who is designing a new monument com- memorating the World War. The other is a very popular juvenile author-Blanton Coxen, whose most widely read book is uFifteen Hundred Reasons for Tardy Slips-Guaranteed Never to Failf, What is that great crowd before the stairway attempting to do? They seem to be trying to crowd into that dental parlor. It is the shop of Telsie Madden and Carter Helton, painless dentists, thriving on the trade brought in by their clever method of advertising- Telsieis horn.
