Ipropbcc of the Class of '12 As 1 was growing old, fat, and rich, I desired to visit my old ],ome, Astona, and see sonm of n.y old schoolnnates of the class 1-. I ordered my yrip packed, and Ihe areonn.hde brought around to the aoor. I hid my good wife goodi)ye, climbed into my areomobde, and was off at the rate of 120 miles an hour. I sailed over city after city, until at last I arrived at the 1 acihc, and Astoria. I landed at the Park, and took a cable car to the city. 1 got off the car at !»th and Duane St., and looked around. Ihe city luul grown to such an extent that I was utterly lo.st and did not know jny way. As no policeman was near, I stopped a tall slim man with a dense black beard tliat completely covered his face, and asked him the way to the Superintendent’s office, lie stopped and looked at me a minute, and exteiuDd his hand with a hearty, ‘'Hello, Bill.” I was so surprised that I hardly knew what to say until 1 recognized Die old smile of “Wags’ Bakin. “Hello, ‘AVags,’ how are voii? AVhere have you been ? What are you doing and why ari you in su('h a hurry ! I asked as fast as I ('ould. “Hold on ! AAdiere ilid you begin .’ AVhat was your first ([uestioii ?” said “Wags,” and 1 knew that he was up to his old trick of forgetting. 1 used the word that was always a remedy for forget fulne. s in 1l;e oht school days; “ Virginia, where is she?” The wo.rd worked like a charm. “AA ags” gave a yell, and started down the street, dragging me by the arm. After this I found that A'irginia was Editor of a “Popular A ote for Alan” paix'r, and that “AVags” was her business manager. He was now late, and was afraid that she would “give him tits.” “A cll, here is the building,” said “AVags,” and I looked up at Ihe forty-two story building in which “(linger” liad her paper. AA e took the elevator to the ninth floor, and entered Aliss A'irginia's office. 8he had just begun talking to “AA'ags” Avhen she saw' me, and c-sclaimed, “AAdiy Billy, how are you? 'fake tlmt chair.” T Had to tell them my history from tin time I left the .A. 11. S., until the time of my arrival in the city. After a very nic'c talk with A irginia about hei’ prospects and the good old days at High School, I left with “AVags” to visit some of the other memhers of the class of B2. 20
