I ALOHA OE resses on the stage in New York. They very obligingly consented to give us an exhibition of their work and if I am any judge of the acting art, they certainly merit in full all the praise they may have been the recipient of in their adopted city. I understand that a Mr. Roy Sandquist is manager of the ladies' company. Attorney Lloyd, another resident of Gfotham, spoke quite lenglhily of his career of criminal lawyer in that great metropolis. He is well known in international as well as national circles. Thus you see he did us a rare favor in leaving his practice to come and address us absolutely without his usual fee. He is also somewhat published in the American Magazine under the titles that clearly have to do with our modern Crime Wave. But more often is his name found heading articles in the famous Judge Magazine, for his constant contact with all sorts of people has singularly broad- ened his sense of humor. His case is another one of those that upset our best laid plans and prophesies. Away back in '26 when we graduated, it was prophesied that he would be a T. B. doctor. Helen Young, her name is no longer that, is joint proprietor of a wonderful confectionery store. The store is located in Cleve- land but, like Child's it is course. VVhen Helen made her little talk she created much admiration for she invited us all and families too, to come in for a free treat any time we were in her city. Just before Kenny made his speech, I noticed Curtis Flick and Glenn Turner get up and retire. I thought nothing of it at the time but as their names were announced, they came running forth in the clothes that one always see acrobats in. As they reached the center of the floor they caught each other and began first one and then the other to throw the man coming down into double Somers:-'ills Tl.ev were certainly clever tumblers but then what was to be expected when they were always doing funny stunts in school? When they withdrew they were loudly applauded by all. Then Glenn Turner came out as spokesman the always did like to 26

ALOHA OE turn of mind and can thus stay and tend to some of those business details that his wife would lack time to perform. Theodore,Roosevelt Jergens told in a real pleasing manner of his career as a newspaper man. After graduating from a southern college of much note, he took up his journalistic life. He is now editor of a flourishing paper in Des Moines, Iowa. His editorship has brought the paper to be the best known paper throughout the entire middle West. His private secretary often hears him sing- ing When you and I were Young, Maggie, for you see he mar- ried a Ridge Lassie. Ah, yes, I have heard that name before, but why the Mrs. prefixed to it. When she arose and began to speak, I recognized her as the girl we used to know back in school as Thora Chubb. Contrary to general opinion at the time, she did not settle down with some of our Senior braves and lead the life of a T. B. Nurse, but she did choose one well known to all of us. She has climbed to tremendous fame as an author. Already her essays are regarded as classic writings in some of our foremost schools of rhetoric. And if in the five short years that she has been publishing her works, she has reached that high pinnacle of fame, what are we to expect of her in the years that are to follow. Do you all remember that first essay down at Petersburg? Even then she was recog- nized as a future wonder. Wayne Tolson was another one of those modest people. But we were finally able to ascertain a few facts about his life. It seems that he has been appointed to fill the newly created Cabinet Office in the President's Cabinet. It is called the Secretary of Radio. Of course, because of the newness of the office he has not had a real chance to show his mettle, but he is the head of some of the best radio research laboratories in the countries. Alice Crum and Evelyn Isch, while married, still retain their maiden names. You see they are two of America's best liked act- 25

ALOHA OE speak in publicj. He told that he and Flick traveled in the sum- mer with the circus and in the winter gave continual performances in the great Hippodrome Theatre in New York City. Another act of interesting exhibition was made to closely fol- low that of our two acrobats. It was one furnished by Jack Bing- ham. How well I remember in the days when I was a little younger how I delighted in going to see Houdini or perhaps Thurston. How I would sit astounded at their stunts. But when our Jack arose and began to display his arts of fooling the eye and other stunts that have made hi.m famous, I almost blushed in shame to think that I had ever admired these old time magicians. When he came to Tacoma where I live, he was such an attraction that the other theatres of that city were forced to close up for lack of business. No such stale tricks as producing a rabbit from his hat, for he is not in need of that trick when he can produce a whole dinner of rabbit already cooked by just saying Here it is, there it is, here! Mahlon Creed's place was the only one vacant. The toast- master told us the reason. He is the leader of the latest expedition of the National Geographic Society to the North Pole. Dorothy Glenn seemed to be tinkering with some little ornament attached to her dress. Soon she looked up in triumph. Even as she raised her head the sound of the absent member's voice could be distinct- ly heard all over the room. He was broadcasting from a point within ten yards of the Pole itself. He said that he believed that it was a little colder than when he was last there in 1938. He told his wife not to worry as he would be home in a few hours. Yes, sir, that little pendant was a radio set she always carries when he is away. Mr. Lynn Medland was the next gentleman's name that was called forth. He arose and proved to be the same old Lynn we used to enjoy so much. He is the head of two large businesses, both of an extremely profitable nature. The first is a large funeral parlor 27
