It w21s 21 cold, fl1'6Ell'j' day, hut, anyway, she led me into a very d21rk room, 21nd she told me th21t in there was El crystal hall, and if I would look through it, I would tind my main desire. I felt very queer in there, hut Z1 tiny light shone 21round the hall. ,Xs I looked through the hall, the tirst picture l saw was that of Mary XYZlllL'l', going about the halls of llandolph-Macon, 21t Lynehlnurg. Now Mary is the president of this lmig College, and she t21kes charge of it just as she did the Senior Class of C. H. S. for she w21s a very lmrilliant president. Then I saw lfred, for we know he is 21t the head of 21 chain of drug stores in XYest Yirginia, and 21t his two largest ones lfvelyn Trussell and Virginia Painter are the ones in charge. Next was the picture of I.ouise Kauode in her home in Ilrooklyn. She was pouring out coffee for her husband and they looked very happy, We all knew that Louise would set s21il on the sea of matrimony e21rly in life, for she was the pretti- est Zlllll most pflpllllll' of our Senior girls. Yery pl21inly was seen the picture of our champion athlete-jack. He is at the University of Xliest Virginia, coaching the footlmall te21m. VVe rememlrer the games black won for us, and the IIIZIIIB' limes he was hurt, while under the colors of the lmlue Zlllfl gold. I was very much pleased with my success, and the next Senior I s21w was Yirginia Tharpe. She is the chief clerk in 21 lmig department store in I'rinceton, New hlersey. You rememlmer how Virginia used to study 21nd how quiet she was? NNI-ll, she h21s not changed in the least. I will tell you wh21t I s21w the Pest, whom we all know as Millard llushonff, 6 doing. He teaches law at Cornell L'niversity, and holds his students spell-hound

by his eloquence. He continues to go over things with his college friends, just as he used to ask the teachers things over and over again. Next is Willa, who we thought was so charming. She is a noted dancer in Chicago. XVilla is still so very graceful and quick in her movements. I feel certain that the boys who used to belong to old C. H. S. would still be crazy to have a chat with her. What can you imagine I saw Chrissy doing? Shes teaching Home lico- nomics in the new high school, that we got under Mr. D. P. Hurley's admini- stration. There is a nice, large room to teach it in, with all of the modern equip- ment, and Chriss,' certainly seems to be enjoying her work. I .lim poundering over a l.atin dictionary-we, the Cicero and Vergil classes, know how he liked to talk about I.atin and to look up the words. He has gotten a degree in Latin, and he is going abroad for a few years to visit some of the historical places. Wfe all wish him a most pleasant trip and that he may find many places of interest. Oh! I forgot to say that jim married a St. Hilda girl. He always was struck on that place, and I suppose that is why he took music les- sons out there. Do you remember how he played the piano for our high school orchestra ? Then is listher!she is a secretary in a big Chevrolet company, in Richmond. Didn't she like Chevrolet cars when she was in high school? Esther is very popu- lar in Richmond, just as she used to be at Summit Point. Douglas is running for Governor of XX'est Virginia. The teachers knew Douglas would be great some day, as he always knew his lessons, especially Geometry and History. I know all of us hope he will be elected, and that he will govern our state with much success. The next girl I saw was Virginia Smallwood. She is a Methodist missionary, and seems to take a great deal of interest working with the natives of Ilrazil. XXX- wish her great success and happiness. Virginia Ilby knew That a straight line was the shortest distance between two points, so after leaving high school, she went straight to housekeeping in Vifashington. You remember in her Senior year, how interested she was in one of the citizens there? Iiuddie is an electrical engineer in Detroit. That was his ambition all through his high school career. Wie know lluddie will make as good an engineer as he was a student in old C. H. S. Mary Wlest lives on a farm, as she married a farmer. I know she enjoys her housework. Mary always was so neat, and we wish for her a very happy life in the future. Then is Nellie. She is a matron of a children's home in llaltimore. She is very fond of children, and they all seem to love her. The funniest thing of all is to see Ronald Rush acting on the stage. He is one of the greatest movie stars in St. Louis. Ronald was very original in high school, and was always making us get into trouble, by his laughing. Last, but not least of our girls, is little, good-natured Sallie. She is the President's private secretary, and is very pleased with her position. Sallie did finely in her commercial courses, all through high school. Last of all is Slim Sagle. I know you will be surprised to know he is an aviator-our second 'fI,indy.l' Ray is preparing for a non-stop Hight around the world. VVe certainly hope he will be as clever and skillful in running his plane, as he was in running his Ford. I hope neither the teachers nor the classmates will be disappointed in the fates of the Seniors of '29. -ll. ITIJZAIBI-Q'I'II IFRAZICR, 329.
