The only other girl in our cluss was Blondine Peck, now she is a very successful matron in the new JClimax Home for the Homclessn. Kennchh Haggard, who as you know felt kindly towards a certain high school girl, has taken to western ranching since he could not get her pnrent's con- sent for the big jump. Oh yrs, the other nigh while visiting A night club m nw' orchestra was introduced and to my suprisv there was Owvn barkley, still dealing out sour notes with his trombone.
