Un the street we passed a sailor in whom we recognized Lester Clayton. He had in school days always liked the MaCujrine life, therefore we were not surprised to see him in the garb of a defender of our country. VVe also passed a soused-looking tramp, carrying sandwich-boards advertising a dance at .the Iitsuzo Fukahara tea gardens. Maybe you think we weren't dreadfully surprised to find that this tramp was the remains of what was once our noble friend, Hubert Goodman. VVe went on a little farther until we came to a gath- ering in front of a saloon. This proved to be a Salva- tion Army meeting, conducted by several of our class- men. Henry Morgue was beating a drum, and Edna Marshall and Athelia Dwyer were singing Nearer My God To Thee in their rich bass voices, while Vivian Thomas interrupted them frequently with a fervent Amen, i v VVe then went over onto Main Street and the first thing we saw was a large electric sign reading Costar and Thornton Academy of Dancing, greatly surprised we entered and there we saw our graceful comrades, Jim and Margaret, teaching a group of High School Fresh- men to dance. They were greatly surprised and pleased to meet us and asked us to stay a while, but as we had not yet seen all the city we declined the invitation. We proceeded farther along Main, and met Roy Uhl and 'Alice Van Qrsdel, who, by-the-way, was now Mrs. Uhl, coming out of Mathews' and Taber's confectionery -9...

She rang the bell, and as if by magic there appeared four apron- clad servants whom we recognized as Muriel Stanford, Mavis Todd, Ada Pulley and Millicent Mayer. By that time it was nearly noon and we journeyed down town for lunch. As it was quite a distance, we took a jitney and when the driver took our fare we saw the old speeder, George Dreiss. ' Cn reaching the downtown district the first thing that took our notice was a large barber shop, with the gilded letters Holmes Miller on the front, and looking in we beheld Holmes decked out in white, busily mas- saging the map of Curran Butler. As the restaurant was next door, we went in and recognized the manager as joseph Drobny. After we had waited a few minutes, . -3- a trim waitress came up with a smile and said, Hello, folks, when did you get back? and there stood Ethel Mullen, as full of fun as ever. Wfhen the meal was finished, we praised the cooking very much and found out that Juanita Scott and Newton Enloe were the chief cooks and bottle washers, with the help of Marie Baughman. Wfhen we left the restaurant and went down the stairs we saw a sign, XY, Neubarth: Money and Loans. Inside we found our old friend VVesley. He was wrinkled and humped, and we later learned that he had become a miser after being jilted by Maury Perkins. We walked a little farther down Broadway and came to the 'Who-Ziss Theater, in front of which was a large sign saying, Archie McRae presents Cora Bond. the lweamfifiil Venus of filmdoin, and Kate Forney. the

He said he was now chief street-sweeper of Durham, and doing well. VVe bade them good-bye and went in to see our friends, Una Mathews and Hazel Tabe.r, who because of their sweet dispositions thought they could make a success of the candy business. They were fat and prosperous, and delighted to see us. VVhile we were there Florence Camper, Nelle Bass and Bess Meade came in. They said that they had started a girls' seminary in what had once been the Bidwell Mansion and were making a success of it. A We said good-bye to Hazel and Una and went out to see their seminary. It was nice and clean and the children seemed to enjoy the life. f Leaving the seminary we went on down the street and' read an advertisement saying that an exhibition of swimming would soon be held. The building was very large, with striking posters in the front showing the different positions in diving. 'We recognized one of the posters as Sue Canfield in a very daring costume. We gasped and went in. WVhen. we entered we met Jessie Bowen and Phyllis Power, who were gazing entranced at the marvelous costumes and the diving of the daring Venuses. VVhen we left the swimming exhibition and went down the street our at- tention was attracted by the cry of Buns and hot weenies, fresh and steaming. Step this way and try one. VVe thought somehow that the voice sounded familiar, and turning around saw a noble looking man and his beautiful wife and several darlings, selling those delicious buns and hot dogs. As we reached the stand we gasped for breath. There were our old friends, Bud and Mary. - We congratulated Mr. and Mrs. March on
