After we had entered a smartly clad usher took us to our seats, and who should it be but Dan Messinger! Soon the lights went out and the curtain rose. The first act on the program was acrobating and tight-rope walking by Letha Schultz. Old Schulzie walked the rope without batting an eye. She was ex- ceedingly thin because of her many disappointments in love. Helen Kunkel and Reine McCampbell were of the same group. . ' Lois Washburn next appeared in a scream, entitled, How To Get a Fellow and How To Keep Him. The young things in the audience gasped as they drank in this wonderful secret, and Anna Belle Compton eagerly took down the recipe, thinking that there was still a chance for her. The next on the program was a snake dance by Mary Perkins, who was considered the greatest vampire, not excepting Theda Bara. Marvin Deter, who was her husband, was suing for a divorce on the grounds of fickleness. Mary had refused to give up her life work, but unless she would give up that life of folly Marvin's life was void of all happiness. Vlfe looked at each other and sighed, for we remem- bered our unromantic life. But we didn't have much time to pine over ourselves, because the dramatic act of Cleopatra and Mark Antony was on the stage. XVe quickly recognized Cleopatra as Daphne Clark, and Mark Antony as our old friend, Harold Wfhite. lVe could see that the love making wasnit all acting, for it

As we journeyed down the street we noticed a little dog running for its life and Mabel said, '6Let's stop and see whose it is. There was an elderly man who seemed intent on catching the dog. As he passed we recognized Cecil Smith, whose hobby was raising Airedales and French Poodles, which were to his way of thinking the most beautiful creatures in exist- ence. Then we heard a rattling and a banging and saw the dog catcher and his assistants coming 'down the street in the dog wagon. As they drew near we saw Angus Gibson and George Lee, who apologized to Mr. Smith and the incident seemed closed. At the next corner there was a sign which told of a revival meeting, to be held at 3 :35 P. M. We dropped in for a moment and could hardly believe our senses when we discovered Alvin Bullock giving his daily sermon on the sinfulness of the people. As our gaze wandered over the congregation we could pick out faces of our old comrades. The first to attract our attention was Phyllis Harvey, whose life aim was to care for the crippled soldiers. Grace Johnson was also there, listen- ing peacefully to the sermon. As we had soon heard enough of th.e impressive sermon, we left and returned to our new home. That evening as time hung heavily on our hands Leita proposed a vaudeville show and I fell for the plan immediately. When buying the tickets Leita poked me and asked, lsn't that Park Guynn?,' And there he stood with his bride of ten years before leaning on his arm. We -.11-.

On our way home we ran across Coyle Bybee and Edith Cunning- ham who had started a curio shop and were successfully set up in business. As we still had some time left before supper-time we decided to stop in a little while and see the curios. We went in and saw the prop- rietor and his wife. VVe talked over old times and asked what had happened to Minnie Baughman and Marian Stroud. A Coyle then spoke up and told us the following story of these girls: They had left high school with the intention of becoming drivers for the Allison Electric Aeroplane Transportation Company, but had landed on-a little island in the South Pacific and had made some very startling scientific discoveries in Biology and had become very famous over their work. The first thing they discovered was that if you hit a potato-bug with a sledge-hammer you will get potato-salad. Another thing was how to distinguish between a toadstool and a mushroom. Their discovery was very complicated and needs to be studied a long time to see through it. You first pick the mushroom and then eat it. If you are alive in two weeks. it is a mushroom and if not it is a toad-stool. After hearing about these amazing discoveries we decided to bid our old school friends good-bye and left the establishment. VVe decided to take a walk out into Barber and see what had happened to things out there. As we turned the corner and started down the road to the old Diamond Match Company we were very much surprised to see the sign, Ford Aeroplane Plant 5 Warren Allison, Prop.
