We Look Into the Future November 20, 1924. 815 Troust Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. BUNNY DEAR: I must tell you of some of my latest experiences. They are so thrilling and exciting. Of course you remember that in my last letter I told you I had changed my mind about marrying. A devoted husband is quite nice indeed. Carl and I arrived home last week from our honevmoon. 1 am very, very happy. You and I did exceedingly well in choosing outsi k of dear old B. H. S., didn’t we? That brings me back to what 1 started telling you. I was riding down town one afternoon and saw a sign which read Don’t fall Grange, the second, Leland Stanford’s famous quarter-back. Game at 2:30. 1 decided to go out to the field and was fortunate In getting a seat near the front. When the team ran out. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the Red Grange to be our own Ray Fuller. Girls He was handsome! I wondered if he was married. When I saw him later he told me of his inter- esting romance with Dorothy Dike. They are to be married soon. While we were in New’ York on our honeymoon I was shopping in one of the most exclusive “Couturieres.” While I was admiring the gorgeous frocks the owner entered. It wasi none other than our petite Florence Pace. Her name is quite different now. Her husband is of for- eign descent. You remember how John Henry tho’ vanquished, could argue still.” I read in a Chicago naner that he is a famous lawyer for divorce cases. Just at present he is greatly occupied in freeing Mrs. Charles Kinder. You will remember her as a little freshman named Eloise. Ru- mor says that John Henry’s interest in the case is more than professional. Some one wrote to me recently about our shining liRht. George Day. W'e a’ways did say he kneThl2 ‘‘tTuci patch follies.” He is the proud possessor of a large orange ove. a wife, and twin sons. It must be nice to be supplied with nice juicy oranges. W'e did have great times in B. H. S.,didn’t we. Bunny dear? perior, class. I shall always remember everyone. Our’s was a small, but su- Devotedly yours, BESSIE PFINGSTON 1929 Page Fifteen
