M., JUNE 6, 1925. DEAR BILL - I Am off for the wild and woolly West. The train has Just pulled out so I thot I would start this letter, which I shall continue during my trip and mail in Frisco Of course, I had many farewell calls to pay and so gathered lots of gossip and news of our old class- mates of B H S which I shall tell you. I returned two weeks ago from a visit to Wash- ington where I had been staying with Beely. She certainly has changed a great deal. You remember how she used to rave for West Point and against An- napolis Well she married a graduate of Annapo- l1s and she and her husband are running a prepara- tory school for future Annapolians. remainlng time wandering around and visiting the old familiar places I met Flzzy the other day and she told me she was going down South for her vacation this year. You know after her graduation from the domestic science school she received the prominent position of domestic science teacher in B. H. S., a worthy successor to Miss Schaufiler, don't you think? Fizzy said that Mabel Taylor has just left for Eu- rope She trained to be a Red Cross nurse and is on her way to Europe to work there. After my return from Washington I spent the - Erna also said that Do Taylor had left town. She is composing a new dictionary, and strange to re- late, as she desired a quiet spot in which to work, went to Cedar Grove. Wonder if the change is permanent. Do always used to be fond of that loca- tion, you know. I met Gertrude Powell the other day and she said that after graduation, she took a good position as typist in Newark and she has had the same one ever since, but judging from the pretty diamond ring she wore, I guess she'll break her record soon. I spent my last week-end down at Ocean City with Blanche Plaut. Yes, Blanche is happily married and living in her favorite spot. I had an awfully good time at Ocean City for Blanche has a model home and is certainly a model housekeeper. Blanche told me that Garlock is living on his reputation of star mile runner which he made a couple of years ago and is spending his time lectur- ing to High School pupils on The Advantage of Giving History Reports. Blanche also said that Cooky was track coach at Syracuse. Cooky has a permanent position at his long desired haven. The day I left, I received a wedding invitation to Elsie Roman's wedding which takes place next week. You know Elsie went through Normal School and taught for a time but evidently she's stopped for better for worsel. ll 'M 11 M Illllllllll WIlllllllllIWIIMIIIIIMI!lIIW MMMHMIIMWNHMIMWlM WMHIMN MN

Noble, captain of the Gym team could have been seen in the gym almost any after- noon during the school term either playing basketball, doing stunts with his gym team or--never mind what. He stars at Indian Club drills and chess. He is al- ways busy doing something and all that he does he does well. BERTRAM TICE. Bert Tice is a fine cartoon- ist and as a wit he ranks among the first. He made a hit as Professor Magee or Maggie in the Senior Play.

Yes, I attended the wedding and have heard from her off and on ever since. Well, Lillian received good training in her native tongue, practising for the Senior Play. As ever, MARTHA. SATURDAY, P. M. Just arrived in the dearest little town in Pennsyl- vania, where I am to spend a week with Kitty. You know, after graduation from Wellesley she worked hard, winning honors and degrees at home and abroad, until she was sought by several colleges as President and finally accepted this position. This is a co-ed and the others were girls' colleges. Wonder why she chose the co-ed? I guess she's the same old Kitty still. Kitty immediately took me around the college. First we visited the gym Qwhich, by the way, seems to be her favorite buildingl. Imagine my astonish- ment at finding Fluff Scudder training a Freshie class in club-swinging. iGuess Fluff hasn't gotten over her fondness for Indian Clubs, yet.D . On our walk, we met Francis Vogelius and on in- quiring how he happened to be there, I heard that he was Latin professor for the girls. Kitty says he is a great success, partly due, no doubt, to the early training he got in B. H. S., reading our Latin for us every morning. Well, I'l1 have to close now, for I'n1 going to a suffragette meeting. Vic Edland is holding a large campaign here and is rousing up the students won- derfully, so they say. I'll write again when I have some more news. MARTHA. 1.111- TUESDAY, A. M. After I left Pennsylvania, my next stop over night was at Chicago, where I only spent one night. As I had nothing to do that evening, I inquired the way to the nearest movie theatre and went in. The first picture was a five-reel drama, featuring Leslie Law- rence. Imagine my surprise at seeing our old class- mate, Hazel Woodward, appear on the screen. Judg- ing from the picture, Hazel is quite a success as an actress. Well, we might have expected it. On my way out of the theatre, I looked at the list of coming attractions and saw-that Brooks Mar- tin, successor to John Bunny, was going to play in the star feature on the following night in The Un- timely Catastrophe. Two little boys next to me were talking about it and one said he wouldn't miss a picture with that fellow in it if he had to sell his best marbles, so evidently Brooks has made a hit in this line. Now, no more stops until California, so I guess I g E E E E E E 2 3 S 5 S 5 2 5 5 5 5 2 5 S WMI . lllllllllllll llllllllllllllllwllllllllwllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illlilllllllllllfll E 3 lllllllllllllllllllllllll lfillllllll Illlllllllllil .-: Illllllllllllllllll gi Illlllllll lllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllll
