oiropapitttt laaa K C Who ' s Who i n 1940 This iHorniiig as I was looking over my mriil I was greatly surpriseil aucl deligliteil to finil among tlie many other things, a little book entitleil, ' ' The Members of Our Gradu- ating Class in 1940. ' ' Just such surprises start a chain of thoughts; mine being linked together by old school day memories. It was a gift from Velda, who, now being a success- ful editor and owner of a large pulilishing plant, had written and published these books for the benefit of old classmates. The rest of the mail was left unopened while for three hours I followed the strug- gles of my old class-mates from the time of their graduation from Butler High in 1928 up to the present year of 1940. Tlie first name was: HAROLD ASH — One of America ' s foremost architectural engineers, graduated from Eutler High in 1928 and from an engineering school four years later.

JOHN CAMPBELL — City manager of New Y ' ork, well known for his efficient busi- ness methods. After completing a college course he became, in turn, city manager of Butler, Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis, Chicago, Boston and in 1939 New Y ' ork. (We wonder how our radical John was fortunate enough to jump to the seat of highest attention.) WANETA CASEBERE— Adventuress. Her hobby is playing the New Y ' ork stock market. So far she has escaped without serious loss of fortune. ROBERT GATHER — Banker in Chicago. Upon graduating from a superior business college he secured a position for which he was well cpialified, a Ijanker in Ft. Wayne. He now owms the largest amount of shares in Chicago ' s largest bank.

Although he can rarely hold a position longer than six months, yet he is held in high esteem by all publishers who are fortunate enough to escax)e. his unending tricks. He is making slow but steady advancement in his line of work. = - n n m m ' a m DONNA KISSINGER NEE HIGLEY— Owner and manager of tiie ' Wild Rose ' chain of beauty parlors, known throughout Indiana, and Ohio. Through the iiivention of wire- less transmitting of vision, she is able to carry on her management from her home in Northern Canada.
