Now Lula Pfenning, that kind old friend, Established an orphanage and has money to spend. And Helen Brown, editing Beatrice FAIRSMAXU for the Chicago Tribune Wrote that she was coming back to Columbus real soon. It's been said that Marshall Geer, a wealthy, influential man, Is actually engaged, but to prove it-no one can. Gerhardti Koch is very successful as a politician, And seems to be satisfied with his position. Then, Eunice Kuehnert, great of knowledge and ambition, Is proud ofthe fact that she's married a physician. ,. Hazel Kinnan, that most popular snare drummer, Travels with Ringling Bros., and is sure some hummer. Adolph Behlen is inventor of Behlen's Bunion Cure, Guaranteed every case to save or to kill - sure. Nathaniel Share, who was sheik of the class, Is horse doctor in Creston, and making money fast. Clara Skorupa and Ferne Wiseman are both married, you see, And their. men are as rich as I'd like to-be. ' Virginia' Dickey and 'Alma Hasselbalch studied abroad in Japan, But each like the rest, married just a mere man. , ' Milton Behlen, a stern old judge is he, Smoothing the waves on the matrimonial sea. Alice Shea, that girl who could never fail, Has a paying position delivering mailg She was always liked in the Senior class, And is indeed a clever little lass. Men like Charles Gass are very few, For now he's a statesman, loyal and true. Walter Lucas has long been a blacksmith man, Keeps his anvil ringing with a clan, clang, clan. His friend, Marie Wollberg, and his sister, Louise, Are toe dancing teachers in Europe, he believes. Charles Sheldon, the man who's indeed quite able, Builds chimneys as high as the tower of Babel. Ruby Welch and Grace Paxson to their scholars will sing, Till with the chorus the school houses ring. Pete Smagacz is in Africa, a scientist and explorer, Going on expeditions is what he is there for. Evelyn Rudat now has a world-wide reputation, Her concert tours have surpassed even our expectation. Christian Allenburger, Philosopher, who studied- in Paris, Has been advocating new theories, undoubtedly the rarest. Clark Burgess, the boy who kept the rule, Way back there in our dear old school, Never played hookyg never told a lie, Well, he's now an aviator, flying up in the sky. Carroll Miller has the fine education of a poet, And his one great work, My Beloved, surely shows it.. Fritzie Kent, owner of Kiwango Beauty Shop, Can handle an iron like you can a top. Last but not least is Ada Long, Teaching in Paris, and is healthy and strong. So with deep affection, And recollection, , I now will bid adieu, And folks, if a burden I have been to you, And haven't pleased you as I ought to do, Let old-time memories my forgiveness plead, For I've tried to do my bestg-I have indeed. Sellma Loselke

Silly Bill falls in love with Lola, the Baby-Talk lady, a vapid little flirt, flVIarie Dodds plays Lolal and in order to woo her in a manner worthy of himself, he steals his father's evening clothes.

The time soon comes when a dance is to be given as a farewell to the Baby-Talk Lady. Not to be present was unendurable, so William again gets the dresstsuit and how he wears it to the party, and Genesis discloses the fact that the proud garment is in reality his father's makes up the story of the play.
