In speaking of the stage I was anxious to hear about Cherry Blossom Heim and Una Kelley, as I remembered, they were the ,promising actresses of our class. Alp- parently neither had followed the stage career for Cherry Blossom had just won the Nobel Prize for her poetry and Una Kelley had become a politician. She was mak- ing vigorous speeches of protest against the Senators of Tennessee, her home state, whose voting on som-e new laws had dissatisfied her. She was also writing a fiery column with her ideas as to what should be done. Two more of our classmates had future prospects, really brilliant ones. Carolyn Hattenbach and James Watry were a dfance team in vaudeville and probably drawing the highest salary ever paid up to that time. Their sudden rise to stardom had stir- red the world. Edward Spasek was an outstanding figure in the sport world. He had just set, a new record for the 220 in the Olympic games. QI brushed off my coat and sort of, straightened my tieg knowing all these celebrities before they were famous was some- thing to think about. I was surely glad I had met George and Dorothy.J Dress designing needed that masculine touch. At least Milburn Shafer was of that impression and evidently he wasnit far wrong, for he has caused quite a sensa- tion with some of his latest creations. - Max Dreitzler, who 'was a professional golf champ, had just contracted to give his signature to a new club called the Dreitzler Drive. It was supposed that by using it a person would cut from ten -to fourteen points from his score. A Cat and Dog Hospital was the last place I expected to find Eleanor Miller, but that's just what she was doing. I was of the impression that she intended to become a surgeon, but maybe she found cats and dogs safer to cut up than people. George seemed to have kept in touch with Louise Howe. He said she had just left for Reno to ge-t her fifth divorce and that she already had another wedding planned to take place was soon as she returned. Her popularity must have lasted since way back in school days. I was surprised to find that Dorothy .Ierue was spending her time teaching im- migrants at night school. Foreign language was always my Waterloo, but she must have gottenalong fine with it At least she should have by now. B H. S. certainly had people doing all sorts of things. Roy Powell was a prom- ising lawyer with a few big criminal cases to his credit, not to speak of divorces. Blanche Depyl wasn't slow about' getting things done. She was a milliner with several privately owned shops in some of the larger cities. I was glad to hear that Bernadine Relinke was happily married and the lucky lad was some boy from the country. Bernadine was doing nicely as a farmers wife. Dorothy Hawks was lucky enough to be abroad, on business though. She was studying art and she was just recently recognized for a new type of modernistic art. It took ti-me but it evidently was worth it. Georgia Upson was getting her share of the ups and downs of life. She was running an elevator in one of the new two :hundred story buildings in.New York City, and she could make the trip up in one minute. Certainly Donald Flenar was a successful business man. His reputation as a laiundryman was practically unequalled. He was the possessor of an ingenious method of taking tattle-tale gray out of clothes, and no other laundry man had a chance against him. The President of the United States took a course which was directed by Wilma Metzger at the -correspondence school of which she was the head. Unquestionably this school was the largest in the country. And it had all the signs of remaining so under Wilma's expert management. Lewis Paul was the -proud possessor of a novel invention. Lewis was running a large business in Chicago repairing watches, and he had invented a watch that a blind man could tell time by. Genius was in our midst, and we didn't realize it. Frances Hamilton was in an orphanage, no-t as an orphan, of course, but as the superintendent. She was assisted by Rose Lynn Ernst, the head nurse, and through their efforts the children were receiving a good education and enjoying it. Being a forest ranger wasn't Carl Rossow's ambition, if I remember correctly, but that's what he was, and what's more-he was a good one. I never thought that Elaine Donley would take up the tedious work of a manicur- ist, but she had, and she enjoyed it, too. Maybe it was fbecause of the men who thought a daily manicure was necessary for them, too. Margaret Furner was living on the seashore and had become an expert surf-board rider. She had stopped, though, just recently to write a book, The Art of Surf-Board Riding, which is expected to be a great success. Spencer Kohlmann was a fellow to attempt big jobs in school and he surely was still doing it. He had just laid plans for a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean before the President of the United States and the Premier of France, and it was expected to be started in the near future. That just about concluded I-Iank's information. There was only one person left, Ben Franklin. He carried the imposing title of County Drain Commissioner, and was bankrupting the county with his improvements. He was really getting down in the gutter with his work. I suddenly remembered the train as I heard its whistle shrieking, so I jumped up, thanked Hank for the meal and it was a big one, too-and ran for the train. I faintly heard Hank muttering something about the bill and then a little more clearly I heard, Well, I was going to give it to you anyway--I guess. Page Nineteen
