At last Lawren is what he worked so hard to be. Say, where is our lirst and last class teacher, Mrs. Dana? Jennie: Oh, Diminutive Dana tired of teaching little white winged angels to shoot straight and has given up. She now runs a pie wagon in An- gora. She seems to be making quite a bit selling pies to the Angorians. On my trlp I also saw Moonstruck Myrtle. Myrtle has a large orange grove in Switzerland. She peddles oranges in her goat team which consists of ten goats and a wagon plus Myrtle and the oranges. She is known to raise the largest oranges in the Italian Alps. .Adjoining the orange grove, Admirable Alba has a large goat farm. She gives daily lectures on how to raise 100 per cent perfect goats over the radio. Enterprising Edward man- aged the Sierra Vista so successfully that he undertook to manage Lucile. It was successful so they lived happily ever after in an immense castle in Romef, Hildred: Wl1ere's our songbird, Angelo?,' Jennie: Angelic Angelo surprised the wfzrld by knocking out New Zealand's ten best pugilists and then hiding in a monastery to escape praise. He has become a second Firpo. Seems strange. We always called Angelo Firpo at schocl. NVho would have ever thought that he would become so famous. Hildred: Good gracious! To think he'd hide from praise. Has little VVilbur also succeeded? Jennie: W'inscme VVilbur has a beauty salon in Death Valley. As women are no longer patronizing such diabolical places, men have fallen into their legacy. The following posters meet the eye on entering: Why Grow Old. Daily Dozen. How to Grow Moustaches Over Night. Keep Smiling. Don't Reduce too Quickly. Hildred: About reducing, where is Miss Stockton, our second and third class teacher? Jennie: Maid Marion is climbing to the top of Mt. Everest on a hiking trip. She always was a hiking bug anyway so let's hope she will get enough now. Hildred: For heaven's sake! She must like hiking. Not at all so, Carmel. Capricious Carmel is still in Angels. She has been promoted from the telephone office to conductor on the well known Sierra Flyer, the Gal- loping Goose hfteen years ago. You know she and Mike were partners but they disagreed so Mike went away. Did you see him? Jennie: Yes. The Mighty Mike has grown to be a mighty man and is killing big game in the African jungles. I wonder if he Hirts with the na- tives as much as he did with us at high? Well, I guess I must be going as I have an engagement in Greenland and just half an hour to get there.

ILARIOUS Hildred seated in front of the tire place. QTO herselfj VVell, just think. It is ten years tonight since I left good old Bret Harte High School and here-I am an old maid with nothing to do but spend the money I have made buying a half interest in the New Carson Hill. Gold Mine that Billy Booster accidentally kicked into when he was trying out some of the stunts that Mr. Clarke used to teach. I wonder where Bill is now. The last time .I heard of him he had stepped out to Africa in search of more gold mines. VVell, I wonder what news there is in this paper. Hello, what's this? Ambitious Allen wins race across the continent in his high power Ford. I wonder if that is the same car he used to boast about to Zilda when we were in high school together? I believe I'1l just run through this paper to see if I can find any more news of the class. Ah! Here's some more. Faithful Joseph, treasurer of the United States. Well, Joe was a great treasurer for our class. Q There goes the bell, I wonder who it is. VVhy, Jennie Folletti, come right in. Iyve heard you were a dashing aviatrix, fearless and cheerful, just back from the quickest trip around the world ever on record. No wonder you are called Jubilant Jennie. Here is a chair. Sit right down here in front of the fireplace and make yourself comfortable. I was just thinking of our high school class. Have you heard about any of them? XVhere's Billy Booster? Jennie: VVhy, Billy Booster is still in Africa. VVhile flying over I heard his heavenly voice singing to the natives. Sounded as if he was singing Why Did I Kiss That Girlf, ' Hildred: Really? Now where are Jack Voitich and Elton Dorroh?', Jennie: Jumping Jack is in Australia throwing boomerangs and is writing a complete history of the natives of Australia. He is also cultivat- ing an Australian beard. Eloquent Elton is now in a large university in the Hawaiian Islands. He is preparing a dictionary for publication. Elton still has the same wonderful method of enshrining himself in the hearts of the faculty. Lovely Louie has perfected electrical appliances so he can perform wonderful achievements by pressing a button. For example he has a beauti- ful home in Siberia and not a servant. By pressing a button the whole house is cleaned and his food cooked. Being unable to acquire the girl he loved he has made this invention to keep from workingf' I have also heard about Dorothea. Dainty Dorothea is in a large cafe in New York. She has broken the world's record by turning 300 Hap-jacks a minute. IN'ho would have ever thought that Dainty Dorothea would be anything except a ballet dancer? Highbrow Helen has become the matron of the Sacred Heart Hospital in Belgium and Lonesome Lawrence, after be- ing crossed in love by his old sweetheart at Bret Harte. has become a World Renowned Expert in cases of heart trouble in the same hospital. Wild Iris has at last acquired her position of policewoman. She is in Paris. She has the world's fastest motorcycle that is supposed to go 150 miles an hour. Giddy Glendon has been playing at the Calderon Theatre in Spain for many years but as the climate didn't seem to make his hair grow like Paderewskils he gave it up and is now the famous tobacco king of Spain. Speaking of Glendon, where's Rowena? Hildred: Just had a letter from Roguish Rowena. She teaches high
