A ' Uhr Ilarusahan Gllaaz igrnpherg It was very dark as I entered the subways of Chicago January 17, 1947. I' had entered at one end of the street car and being of the curious type walked to the front of the car. There seemed something familiar about the face of the motorman and after some study I recognized it as Hap Garvin, I knew that Hap had been fond of the dark but why he should work in it was a mystery to me. Hollis told me that Hershel Picker and Harold Long were now in the Hardware and Undertaking business. At the end of the line, whom should I meet farce to face but Paul Riley who informed me that Evelyn Eversole and he had tied a knot with their tongues that they could not pick open with their teeth. From Chicago, I went to New York and the first sight that confronted me was a large electrical advertisement reading, Mr, Everette Jacobs, Pianist and Organist -hear him at Leonard Brown's Theatre-Prices 32.50 and Sii5.00. I decided to hear my former class mate once more- He did splendidly. Later in the evening to my utter surprise, George and Philip Vilmure featured in a Greek Classic entitled, I'm Low On Coal, -this was indeed very pathetic but, Ah I, how true to life. After leaving the theater and while standing on the corner of Madison and Jefferson streets, I looked to the north and whom should I spy but Dutch Seybert and Wayne Stewart joint owners in a vege- table, and sissors sharpening cart. They were doing well for they had hired Eleanor Reulecke as their bookkeeper and assistant grinder. I left New York and went to Denver and upon visiting a University I learned that Gwendolyn Pedrette and Willoweene Snell were deans of the athletic departments. I learned from them that Juanita Havertield was a nun, of course, that was to be expected, she was such a man hater. I left the college and ventured down the street and I overtook an old lady whom I recognized as Helen Clark. She told me she had married Claire Dun- can and between her sobs and tears told me of the Murder of Duncan. VVhile in Salt Lake City, Utah, I thought it would be great sport to visit a Morman church and upon entering I found Floyd Crow as the minister. He truly was faithful to his seven wives. He said that the last he had heard of Evelyn Long was that she had married Bill' Lash and that they were now in the laundry business. While in the lobby of the hotel that evening I picked up a paper and in the classified ads I read, Paul Schahrer and Edward De- Long, Soap Wizarcls. ' ' The next day I went to Reno, Nevada and here I saw Margaret LaCharite who was a nurse maid and she told me that Charles had signed up a contract to sell one hundred barrels of chicken dip- At last I knew of the whereabouts of all my classmates except Virgil Lin- der. Later I learned that he was in the Hawaiian Islands in the Sugar Plant industry. He was always fond of sweet thngs. I returned home the next dav. Although we are separated from one another we are still united in thought.- A little lsnowledgeilg Q dangerous thing-Paul Riley. '13
