Im going to 'Frisco by a southern route as I have some relatives in southern California and I shall spend a few days with them MARTHA JUNE 13 1925 In Frisco at last and I guess I won t write again until I'm on my way back, because I m going to engoy every minute in the day out here. It's the prettiest place I've ever seen I had a very lovely time in southern California The second day I was there, my cousin asked me if I would like to see the Model Ranch. I assented and he took me along the pretty country road to the ranch which was a pretty place with roses grow- ing all around the porch. I asked to whom it be- longed and he said that Mr. Austin Rice was the owner and that he certainly was a lovely man. I said that I knew him well, so we went in. Austin happened to be at home, so we had a nice hour talk- ing about old acquaintances. Austin said that Syl Thomas was a prosperous farmer out there and was editing The Hicksville Hearth Handy Book, which was to keep the farm- ers well posted on affairs of the day. I wondered why a man with such possibilities buried himself in such a small town, but evidently he's a big man in Hicksville.

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

NEW YORK CITY, JUNE 12, 1925. DEAR BILL :- I have intended to write to you for some time with reference to your leaving your position as coach of football at the University of Missouri to coach at Rutgers. I was over to New Brunswick yesterday and saw Grissing's baseball nine. After the game he suggested that we go for a spin in Higgin's racer. Higgins builds them in Detroit, and they are mod- eled after his own boat. He has an enormous plant. We stopped over at Jake Albert's law oflice but he was so busy that we did not stay long. He told us that the offices of Conklin Sz Riorden, Expert Ac- countants, were on the Hoor above and that Dan had grown about half an inch. Professor Bleecker, at Princeton, had been at the game and was angry that Princeton had lost to Rutgers and as we drove along Brissing laughed in glee at thots of him. While we were waiting at a crossing, I saw two men talking excitedly to each other, apparently intent on con- vincing each other. Krohnfthe famous politician, seemed to be gaining an advantage when the traflic cop waved us across. Left Rutgers at 7. Millard dropped in at my office this morning just back from a tour down South with his theatrical troup of which Gladys MacDonald is leading lady. Glad Lenton seems to have gone to China as a mis- sionary. Herb Staub has settled down in Caldwell and still is a runner-for trains. Inez Keyler has a beautiful bungalow with a private landing for a canoe. Bertha Rowe is financing a back to the land project and Lillie Weissman is conducting the business end of it. I hear that Gladys Gaffney is one of the Bloomfield belles. I hope to hear from you soon about the Rutger's proposition, until then, Your old friend, PERRY MOORE. JUNE 13, 1925. DEAR BILL :- I have such astounding news for you that I can't even wait to write a polite introduction to my letter, such as Miss Wyman would have me do were I back in B. H. S. Hold tight now! Gable Schwab is king of the pigmies over in Africa, and what's more, his kingdom is now engaged in a Civil War! There! The worst is over so you can let go now while I tell you that I got this news from our old classmate Hazel Harris. She sent me a letter telling me that she and Rita Goggin were over there acting as Red Cross nurses. She says that they are warring over the silly little question of ship subsidies! Gable, of course, wants the ships subsidized. To think that a war could result from such a petty question! Hazel says the war is something atrocious-if it weren't for Charlotte Conley helping out financially so gen- erously she thinks the pigmies would have been starved long ago. Well, I say good for Charlotte! She certainly carried out her principle of earning money, didn't she? But that is not the only place
