Twenty-four Now Lois is living in Atwood. Did she marry Carl? lVhy, of course. But he couldn't make bo.h their livings, So, lately she sued for divorce. Our Vivian Readings a model. Now don't you mistake what I said, For she doesn't pose for a painterg She's a model housewife instead. Both Ruby and Thelma are old maids, 'l'hey're making' their ways all alone. They say that all men are quite fickle, And they have a style all their ow11. XV hen Martha Lueile started paillting, We all thought her fortune was made, But she has lost all inspiration- lVayne Bauman has come to her aid. Our Ella's still wearing' the diamond She had in nineteen twenty-five. The reason that she isn't married Is because her man isntt alive. The last of our old High School comrades Is living in Hollywood now. Our Helen is coining a fortune She got i11 the movies somehow. I woke with a start from my dreaming Of all my friends' oleasures and woes: I let out a yell, not of gladness, M y Cigar was burning my 11ose. Raymond Sanders '26 1,926 W

QAGKQQJQJQQ IBETOHII Ruth IIarshbar,9,'er's a fine teacher, She rules with a powerful handy She told us about her library In words we could all understand. Now Belmont is doing the Charleston Before the fair-haired Prince of Wales. Since Stanley's over in China, I wonder who's telling her tales? Old J onesy, without a vocation, Is now looking out throu,Q,'h the bars. Brown Byerline is dead i11 N ew Jersey From smoking Dutch Master cigars. Now Sparks is a bold aviatrix, Glenn Fairbanks, her chauifeur so gay, Who tried aerial work 011 an QIIQIIIQ, ls under the sod now to stay. Carrol Soper has filled all expectations Some day a fine husband to be, And now is a wealthy oil magnate Of one Pigjgott Oil Company. Since IVaters has turned to inventing, Bill Davies' wares don't sell slow, For Russel invented a bottle That fits in the pocket, you know. Our Lola is over in Europe, A feminine boxer is she. And what do you think? Lillie Conlin Is Swickis sparing partner, I see. Now our Mamie IVall is a dancer. Behind the lights every night, IVith winsome Lenora, her partner, She frolics in costumes so bright. John Loftus, a criminal lawyer, Has wo11 every case he can find. They tell me, thou,Q,'h John isnit happy, He has Cora Lowe on his mind. Bernice is a faithful '4Hello girl. She sits at her post every night. To separate her from her YVrigley's You'd have on your hands quite a fight. QQOQAQWQJE 9 2 6.1 Twenty-three
