PICKEN S Attorney-at-Law E, the Class of Nineteen-Seventeen, having passed thru the difficul- ties of dignified Seniors, and realizing that we may no longer retain the valuable elements which have aided us in climbing the rugged slopes of knowledge to our final goal, and understanding from our own experiences that succeeding generations could never attain their lofty ambition without these, we feel it is our moral duty to dispose of these miracles in their favor.

Once more I was at home in dear old Charlotte, and the first thing that greeted my sight was the sign: Richard Biberstein, Architect. His building covered an entire block. Later, I was told that Bingham Owens had followed in his father's footsteps, and had become a minister. Rosa White and Marjorie Silverstein had both married, and seemed the spirit incarnate of happiness. And so, Jean, my dream ended. JEAN: Oh, Miriam, it was lovely! Now if it will only come true. MIRIAM: And the lovely point of it was that each one of them was just the same sweet, unassuming, unspoiled girls and boys that they were in Charlotte High School days, in spite of the success of each in his own underlined sphere. JEAN: Well, call me up again. MIRIAM: I will. Good bye. f Kwik Ol I 2' I gf ff Ol' Q fi! ,': I e ll ll F rii G E F ,MZ E Y.:. 4 I xts 'N' xnxx A -24 x. on Q . 'f I -Isl mul!
