MORTONIAN 1924 mmm ' IRVIN HAMILTON WRITES CContinued from Page U ed by the Cwity Restaurant at Richmond. Latest re- ports are. she is a good hash t'hro-wer. A-ll the rest of the class are scattered over the world. I was getting restless so I crank- ed. th-e old flivver and started on. I walked into a bank in New York and there sat Ralph Harrell behind the Cashier's desk. We used to be crooks together so I finally succeeded in bor- rowing so-me cold cash. The winter was getting cold so I headed for Flo- rida. One day whil-e loun- ging around a sum-mer re- sort, my attention was at- tracted 'by a stout la-dy, with much paint and pow- der on, 'looking through some society eye-glass leading a little old man, who judging by the way he walked must be of great importance. W-hile smil- ing' to myself, I happened to recognize her as Hazel Crouch. I stepped out joyously and spoke to her. She simply said, Howdy do, and turned away. I heard her mutter some- thing about Worms in the Dust. She must have named somebody with a title. Flordia has no whim for me so I took a boaft for Europe. I had been out two' days when I saw the head cook on the vessel, she was Helen Brumfield. All the rest of the trip she slipped me choice things to eat. Imet Vinnie Joslin in Manchester England. Sihe was glad to see me for she hadn't seen anyone she knew since she left the states. She was traveling! abroad in order to get a a wider knowledge of the world. The British Is-les had another surprise in store for me. I met Mildred' McConah-a in Aberdien, Scotland. She was mar- rfed but I forgot 'her hus- band's name, I always did know that Mildred would make' a beautiful woman, and say, they know how to treat ia fellow all right. If you ever get Ia chance make her a visit! wif possible. H Paris was the next place acquaintenances were met. One evening as I was walking along taking in the sights I met Margaret Williams. I hadn't seen her since the days of C. H. S. and you may be sure I was glad to see her. Like herl desfres she had 'become teacher and was now trav--I eling abroa-d so that she? could teach in a Uni-i versity. She did not have! to study that day so I was shown Paris. I prolonged my visit from two days toy two weeks and I hated to leave Paris then. My last nlight there we went to the theatre. Nazoma Means was the leading character and she sure showed the French ladies something. Although I would liked to have stayed in Paris I found it necessary to move ran 'across Charleine Beck o-ne. Two months later I and Esther Anderson in Genoa Italy. They are becoming great musicians Some day the United States will have some- NINETY l I 1 thing to brag about in musicians. I did not meet anyone else I knew in Europe, but when I went to Africa I met Maynard Henwood in the city of Durvan in the southern part of the country. H e had been working in the diamond mines but was about to give it up. We made a bargain and took a long hunt through the jungles. I only wish I could tell of the experiences we had In two months we had enough of it. Henwood went back to the states, but I came to Asia. Many pleasant surprises come to a traveler when he meets so many friends in a fo-reign country. While I was in Shiraz, Persia I met Harold May and his wife- who used to be Mary Dunkle. Like myself they were traveling and writ- ing. To-day I met Nellie Townsend and her husband here in Caucutta. They were on their wed-ding trip. Well as I didn't get over to Earlham to see you while I was 'in Centerville I thought I would write and tell you about the class of twenty-four and I think I'l1 come back to the states before long and write my book, and get ready for an- other trip. One of your old pupils, Irvin Hamilton Nazoma Means has tak- en up toe dancing and is now making her debut in the Wild Woman's Thea- tre in Abington, Indiana of which Mr. and Mrs. Fred Higgins and son Eldon are the sole proprietors.
