Peg-ff .20 P o w ir 0 IV ffm Breakfast over we went to the living room to talk over our experiences since we had left dear old CHS back in 19922. VVe were calling up old memories and I asked him what had become of VValter Field. t'VValter has just been offered a job as head coach at Yale he replied. He deserves it all rightf' , Thinking of VValter brought to my mind another VValter I used to know, so I asked him about VValter Ford. VValter? Oh! VValter has a drugstore around on Broadway. Some store, tool His sister Nellie is married to Cash Nickle and lives in Alaska. She always was kind of wildf? I was trying to think of someone else to ask about, when the maid, Phenella, entered and announced that Mrs. Rankin, the washerwoman, wanted to see him. ullrs. Rankin Fw said I. MI don,t believe I know lierf, Oh yes, you do,', said my host. 'tShe used to he Miriam Hankins, but Payne finally got her. She supports him now. The maid opened the door and ushered in a fat lady, with her hair coiled in a knot on the back of her head. I will not dwell on the circumstances of that interview. She asked for a raise in wages, because, she said, three Children had the flu and one had the smallpox. The raise was granted and the lady went away in tears. ttSome change in Miriam, I remarked. Too badw said my friend, t'She used to tickle the worries pretty well. Then I thought of a long lengthy fellow who went to school when I did. VVhat has become of Jim VVatkins?,' I asked. He replied, Jim is a Nazarene preacher. He is holding revival meetings down at his church now. Leonard Blevins assists him as soloist, and Ivan VVoodhouse is the pipe-organist.', t'VVelll said my entertainer, 'tlt is time for me to go to work, want to come alongw Surely I did. This was my first visit to this town for ten years and I wanted to get acquainted again. VVe got our overcoats and left the house to get into the limousine. I did not notice the driver until it became apparent that he was an expert. I looked at the back of his head, which seemed familiar. Turning to my friend I asked who it was that drove so well. He told me that it was Emery Gaston, one of the best chanffeurs in the state. I was glad to meet my old friend once again. VVe landed safely at the office building and were hoisted to the fifth floor by the elevator. Wlhen we landed I noticed that the elevator boy was Grant Gordon. I gave him a nickle and passed on with my host. VVC went into the oflice suite and I listened to a heart to heart talk between mv friend and the janitor. After the janitor left my friend turned to me and said, HI have to tell him what to do, every day. His name is Hugh Lamb. Perhaps you remember him. He is a lmman stepladder but his head is weakf, To be sure I remembered Hugh. His face was familiar but his feet had grown clear out of my memory. XIV friend had a large office force. I knew some of them. I had gi talk with all of them but that would he too much to tell about.

A Day In 1940 NE evening not long ago I received an invitation to spend the day with one of my friends. I accepted the invitation gladly, thinking I might meet some of my old CHS friends. Sure enough! The next morning, bright and early, I wentrover to my .C 3 iriend s place, and found him being shaved by his valet-Fred Gardner. I was glad to see Fred, and after talking with him a while I learned that his wife, Mae, was also my friend's private secretary. After my host had been shaved we went to breakfast. IVho do you suppose served it? Phenella Beeler. VVell! I thought I would compliment her and said, This ham is mighty fine, did you fry it?', She said she did'nt but Vecilia did. HNot Cecilia Sehas ?

19.2.2 P O IV IV O IV 5 Page 21 and James Lyke, office boy. James made a good office boy. He never could get to work on time. After I had been entertained by my old fellow-students my friend called me into his private office 'to attend a director's meeting. He introduced me to his directors. There were twelve of them. Norvin Adamsg Clyde Cornell: Sam Chaney, a multimillionaireg Clair llarch, who made a fortune in oilg Elmer Raymond, who was a noted baseball playerg Alton Swan, Director of three pic- ture theatres, Laurice Edlefsen, croquet ball expertg Bob Andrews, amateur champion tennis player, Ralph Myers, chautauqua lecturer during spare time: Fred Albertson, noted editorg Merle Hurtt, a publicity and advertising agentg and Ivor Ranney, who succeeded Bud Fisher. The directors were then waited upon by a committee from the Anti-chewing Tobacco Club, composed of Hazel Royce, llinnie Daly, Opal Schreiber, llabel Dildine, Bonnie lloss, and Rena Rock. Hazel was spokeswoman of the com- mittee. She delivered herself of a lengthy oration and finally convinced the directors that chewing tobacco was unnecessary. Yvhen this committee left another from the afternoon tea club applied for a reduction of the price of sewing thread. The committee were: Blary Allison, Dorothy Robertson, Lois Jones, Mina Stratton, and Emma Specht. The committee brought along their chief speakers, Mildred Hanna and VVilliam Hanley, a noted lounge lizard. The directors promised to do all that was possible. All the committees disposed of, the directors held an informal discussion of how to catch Autom Paxton, the check Artist. Ivor Ranney reported that he had sent two women detectives, Fay Bow, and Pearl Faris, after the culprit. He added that if it was humanly possible these two could catch her. Just then' Glenn McKinley the noted scientist and explorer came in and unburdened his tale of woe. It seems that the aim of his life was to persuade Edna Steehnan to marry him, but Edna did not see it that way. Sam Chaney advised him to go to Hamilton and Hancock, editors of the Confidential column in the daily newspaper and enlist their aid. He said they had often helped him. The scientist went away hopefully. lIy host then stated the business was over for that day, and as the directors filed out, rang for the footman. In answer to the ring in walked Floyd Davis. I almost went thru the floor in surprise. After we had exchanged greetings, my friend called the footman to his desk and told him to go for his private law- yer, Mr. Shook. Is Shook a lawyer? I asked in surprise. Yes,,' he replied, 'tHe and Clarence BIcClurc have a large trade in divorces and alimony suitsf, That was news to me. Kenneth ought. to make a good lawyer tho. Ivhcn Mr. Shook arrived, he brought with him his private secretary, who turned out to be Edith Conway. I asked Shook how his family was, remembering that he had married Grace I'urcell, years before. HI'ilI1Cl., he said, 'fCome out and see us sometimef, After a short consultation the lawyer left and my host announced that it was lunch time. Ive went to 'the finest cafe in town, owned by Letha Earner. YVe asked for the proprietor, but Goldc Potter, the waitress, said she was out
