inventing an sir-conditioned wooden leg with an electric clock attachment-which enables him to keep step with the times. ' On the last page of the ad section, I found the ada vertisement of the Sheldon-Wahl-Geary Horseshoe Company: The girls are making their fortune shoeing nightmares. Lucille Dittman, I found, has been working on the bark of n dogwood tree. So far Lucille has perfected it to such an extent that it barks in three different tones: tenor, bass , and baritone. Last, but by no means least, I found Doris Zeck engaged in the fascinating business of dehaunting haunted houses. This is no reflection on Doris' character -as sheg merely enters h house and begins to sing, which has Proven very successful thus far. ' I ' . 18

s tastes Kenny VanOrnum fduowed the footsteps of his illustrious uncle and is now the mayor of the thriving metropolis of Conde. He also has a sideline running a WTeachers Taxi Servicen. He gained his one and only wish by marrying and settling down to marital bliss with a redhead of the class of .420 Dortha Zeck, I-found, is billed as the Rye-Krisp girl. She has a figure like an hour glass and makes every minute count. As I ran my finger down the list of national figures, I found that Marian Bradley has gained fame with her invention of a combination rat trap and fruit Juicer. ' Bernice McPartland is billed as a torch singer in the Stork Club beside Kenny Hildebrant. Between them both they really put feeling into their work. Donald Dittman is now the manager of WOne Punchu Hite, the sensational figure of the boxing world. During the first few years of married life Donald found out all he needed to know about fights and fighters. Besides being a boxer, WOne Punchu is also a 10 second man. He has been able to run around the ring 20 times in one round without having a hand laid on him. Lucille Bertsch and Maurice Huber collaborated and ln- vented a flavored firecracker to blow holes in Swiss cheesw. From all angles it appears to be a popping success. As I ran my finger down the list of notable names, I came across the name of Tommy Reardon. I was eager to find what had brought his name into the list. I read on and found that he is in Mexico fighting bulls. In school I often wondered why Tommy, the son of a railroad man who d1dn't know a oow's horn from a trumpet, wanted to take Agriculture. I guess he knew what he was doing though be- cause in his Job he has to know what a bull looks like. If Thomas is as good at his work as he is at talking, Ferdinand hasn't a chance. Continuing on through the book I found that Dick Miesen is pulling thru life as a dentist in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. As a hobby he raises giant bullfrogs in his back yard. This is a very profitable hobby as he has greenbacks on hand at all times. I was glad to find someone employed in the field of Journalism. This person I found to be Elvira Wettstein, who was writing the column NMy Dayn in the newspapers. T h 1 e column was formerly written by Mrs. Roosevelt but her hus- band was in the White House so long that she developed writer's cramp and had to retire. Reading on I found that Elv1ra's southern hospitality and southern ways helped her to become a success in life. Esther Bain came through with the brilliant idea of oiling feathers and is now president of 'Bain Squeakless Pillows Inc.U This industry employs thousands of men and from what I hear Esther is just tickled pink. J Dean Taylor, clover young fellow, gained his fame by ' D' 17
