while E-lsie is on the road to success with the Pfeiffer three ring circus. She is a charming snake charmer. Fern Elibiy and Mary Corwin are also with this show, being tight-rope walkers. I forgot when speaking of artists to mention some of our most noted ones. Elizabeth Bohan is one of society's famous artists, a portrait painter. I always thought she would be one. Nilo Hovey is a banjo player, and Coy Muir, drummer in the world's largest steamship orchestra. Last but not least of our famous artists comes Paul Seifert, woman impersonator in the Peterson Film Co. Oh! But have you heard the scandal? Marjorie Jennings and Alys Ja- cobsen are at Reno, Nevada, for a six months stay. By the wary, I had a hard time tracing Hilda Nuhn. It seems she is running a cafe in Benson called the Nuhn Hour. Helen Borger and Olga Jensen are waitresses there. I had hoped they would be more successful. Another resident of Benson is Paul Pedersen who is the leading modiste of the town and I hear is very talented. Mable Taylor, as you probably know, is now sheriff of Black Hawk county. Her first duty was to arrest Delia Wynegar, a dangerous Red, who incited a riot in the streets of Janesville. Of all iriy classmates I would Gnd it easiest to envy Helen Bergeman for I have had designs on her position myself, in my dreams. She is pre- siding at the White House and very gracefully, too. Another Washing- ton matron is the former Bertha Petersen. We hear much of her in society news. Lyle Langdon is now golf champion of the, world. He and his wife, whom we knew as Mildred Minish, are traveling in Europe. From the last I heard he will play with the Prince of' Wales soon. Robert Burke and Carl VVardin are co-partners on a large stock farm in the western part of Iowa. If you go into the High School soon give my love to Evellyn Riedel. How does she like her job as principal. Also say hello to Mary Bohan and Edna Wolff. They are both history teachers I understand. I hope you enjoy this news as much as I enjoyed finding it for you. Your friend, Helen DuBois. THIRTY

Glass ibrupbecp My dear friend: I was so glad to get your letter and to know that you had not for- gotten me. I have taken great pains to' find out where all of my old classmates of ,24 are in order to tell you about them as you asked me. You asked me in your letter what I was doing. Jeanette and I have been very successful in running a Farm for Homeless Cats. Our class has scattered to the four corners of the earth and one of the farthest corners is Africa where Elmer Miller and Joe McConnell are pearl divers. What fun that must be! Some others who are far away are Mr. Peter Christensen and his wife, formerly Miss Mina Marten, who are missionaries in Hoko Poko Isles, wherever they are. And would you believe it! Harold Hansen has gone clear off to the South Sea Isles with Donald Santee and Tom Petersen and is teaching Zoology in Santee's school for Hulu Girls. Quite an occupation. CTom tis dancing instruct- or.J One of the most interesting bits of news I have heard is about the C. F. Opera Co. Do you remember what a good singer Bee Bowen used to be? VVell, she' is now a famous prima donna and Clifton Kelley, Ruth Miller, Thelma Burhans, Letha Riker, Esther Hansen, and Claude Comer are now singing in Paris. Martin Dayton was here the other day trying to sell me a pocket ra- dio but I did not feel that I could invest. They are very handy to have though. Do you recall Laurence Drohman with whom I used to go? I hear he is a confirmed bachelor and woman hater. I wonder what girl broke his heart? I am getting to be quite a theatre fan. Who do you suppose I saw the other day? It was Ruth Leavitt! She is playing Little Eva in Uncle TOlT1,S Cabin with Hazel Slifsgard as her understucly. I was surely glad to see them after all these years. Our class certainly had lots of artists! Paul Houser the famous movie star, is playing at the Strand this week opposite Daisy Howard in HThe Old Oaken Bucket. It seems Ralph Peterson directed this picture and it is the best one of the month. Ralph Jewell has turned out to be quite a chemist and did you know he has invented a deodorant for limburgher cheese? His wife, Ada Mor- gane Jewell., is quite a social leader I understand. She can be, with those millions to use. Talking about social leaders, Glennys Jensen has cut quite a swathe. She is now' Countess de Melvill du Pont now living in Europe. The artists of the class are not all actors. Clifford Gillette is now in Chicago and is the successor to Paderewski. He has a few talented pupils under his direction who are Cleo Howard, Willard Engel, and Rachel liisterfelt. 'Harriet Miller is also in Chicago playing for radio concerts broadcasted from station H. I. C. You asked me especially about the twins. As far as I have been able to find out Marie is happily married to clothing merchant in Peoria, Ill., TWENTY-NINE
