ar Q DELPHlC ECHOES 1932 that his head manager was Miss Rice. Aubrey said that Helen had her way in managing except for one thing. He refused to let the serving girls wear bandana dresses. After resting a while, I went to the office of my old friend Jude Hughes who has made millions designing dresses with slender lines for stout women. Gladys Boghosian is work- ing for Miss Hughes. Jude told me that Bonnie, Burum had shown much promise both in sports and the musical world. She was a member of the team that won the Davis Cup match. By the way, Erwin Hofer has re- tired as a successful musician. Leaving Paris I went to England, where in a small town, I found Mrs. Leonard Vose, who will be remembered as Eunice Andrews. She was at the height of her glory teaching in a small country school. Leonard Vose is just a farmer trying to keep up with his school teaching spouse, Eunice. 1 happened to buy a London Times as I got off my train and found that it was edited by John Kidwell and Stanley Campbell. Some paper it was! In it I read the surprising fact that Vernon Martin was understudy of European scientists. They are trying to find out why it is that no amount of attention from the world's most beautiful women affect his emotions. I turned to the society page and found that Virginia Olson was hostess to a great number of friends at her country home. She recently an- nounced her engagement to the Crown Prince of Sweden. In London I also found James Chick. James was there as a represenative of the Wrigley Chewing Gum Com- pany. He was running a school for teaching the Englishmen to chew gum correctly. While in London I visited a theater, and who should I find starring in Old Shoes for Sale, but Phyllis Franzke. I later learned she was taking the place of Marie Dressler in Paramount. A friend took me to the races in the afternoon, and I was indeed surprised to find that the champion speed king was Ernest Oliver. I went to see him after the races, and he told me that our classmate, Rolland Gulley, was the people's candidate for congress, He is runinng on the platform of the S. P. depot at present. In Italy I found Bob Eaton with his traveling Wild West Show. Bob said he had made a big hit in Italy, for they had taken him for a descend- ant of the Romans. Bob's chief musi- cian was Lewis Mitchell. And by the way, Lucile Foth is also in Italy but no one knows where. Lu- cile became famous overnight as a newspaper woman, and modest girl that she is, could not stand the popu- larity and has been hiding ever since. However, my friend Geneva Steves is even a greater newspaper woman. She is working for the New York Times, and recently got a by-line and a raise on her scoop story of the Fairbank murder. Lois Crump is also on the New York Times as feature editor. She got the job through Kathleen Morris, her personal friend. Cornella Gillen and Peggy Green have become famous since writing the Scotch National Anthem Let the rest of the World Go Buy. Oh, I forgot to say I met Brad- ford Brooks on the boat coming back. He worked for the company. He has shown much promise as chief port hole closer. I went into a little dress shop in New York, and found my tall willowy friend, Helen Watrous modeling the dresses. She just recently won a beauty contest sponsored by the Car- rot and Red Tomato company. In the exclusive make-up store next door I found Marie Wipf. She is a demonstrator for the Max Factors Company and just recently bought a

After traveling all over the universe I find that fate in her queer way has scattered the class of '32 to the four corners of the earth, from the most brilliant society of Paris to the dark- est part of Africa. It was Fate, herself, who started me on this long trek where I met so many of my classmates. Here's how it happened: One morning bright and early I was on my way to the oflice and was about to cross the street when a large car came careening around the corner at a terrific rate. I attempted to climb up the side of a building to get away from it, but try as I might the darn thing finally got me, and the next thing I knew I was lying in a bed in a room that smelled peculiarly like a hospital. Standing over me was a man dressed in a tuxedo who looked like he'd been sent for and had for- gotten to come. Without introducing himself he said, How much can I pay you to clear out of the country? Now, I ask you, was that nice? In other words, the gentleman had been slightly pie-eyed when he ran me down and was worried 'for fear some- one would find it out. Consequently, I have spent the past year touring the world in first class style, during which time I have completely lost my mem- ory concerning any accident I was ever in. I arrived in New York three days before my boat was scheduled to sail for Europe. I obtained a guide book, and looking down the list of curiosi- ties I noticed the names of Borchardt and Merriotte. These names sounded familiar to me, and on looking further I found that they were running a home for stray bachelors. When I visited the place I found, sure enough, Lenora and Marjorie. Talking over old times they told me that their old pal, Helen Haden, was in an insane asylum. She had started a chain of schools of elocution and was well on the road to success until she tried to teach a small French boy to speak in negro dialect. They also told me that Abraham Balukian had recently joined Craft's Greater Shows. The first person I met when I went on board my ship was Max Cochran. Max looked sort of run down, and on asking him what he had done to get himself into such a condition he re- plied that he now had a position as a model for a sculptor who designed athletic trophies. Max told me that his old friend Max Barnes, the former red-haired star of most everything during his school years, and ex-cap- tain of cadets, was now on the teach- ing staff at West Point. Oh, yes, before I forget it, Glen Meadors, champion tennis player, and distinguished husband of the former Lydia Wipf, was on the boat going over to England. He said he was to play in the final matches being held in England. I fell ill on the way over. They sent me a doctor, and I noticed this.name on the little black bag on the table: Ship's Doctor, Miss Ilene Womack, R.N.D.R. Sure enough it was my old friend, Ilene. Later I was able to walk about on deck. Who should I see but Henry Handa. He is now the Japanese en- voy to America. Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. Army Printise Womack met me at the boat and escorted me to his car. Going straight to my hotel in Paris, I was greatly surprised to find that it was owned by Aubrey Truesdale, and lt 'll .fr la is 5.

1932 DELPHIC ECHOES half interest in the business. When I went out I bumped into a young woman who had lost her pet dog. I remembered her as one girl who hoarded her money and worked away her youth as an usherette. She was Martha Parnell. She told me that she had just established a three story home for disabled cats, parrots and dogs. On my way West I stopped in Chi- cago and on going to one of the studios, I found my old classmate, Harold Wilhelm. Duke is posing for magazine advertisements. In Chicago I also found Mary Ruth Locke. Mary Ruth poses' for Mr. Branner's Winnie Winkle section of the funnies. I went to a ball game one afternoon and found Yale Casler pitching for the Chicago Cubs. Ellen Carlson was also at the game, and she told me all about how at last she has found her dream man. I got the information from a de- pendable person that Evelyn Dewhirst and Addie Ditman have lost all their faith in men. They have sworn to each other never to marry. Going on to San Francisco I found that Donald White was the head of a large church there. He said his clos- est competitor was Aimee Semple Mc- Pherson Hutton. Walking dovsm the street in Oakland I noticed a sign Wooley's Blacksmith Shop. This sounded familiar so I stopped at the door. I expected to see a Miss Ilene I knew there, but instead I found a Mrs. Reginald Wooley, form- erly Miss Myrtle Goertz. Reg. and Myrtle seemed perfectly happy, how- ever. I knew that our vice principal of 32 Mr. Pettit was the head of one of the city schools. When paying him a visit I found that his private secre- tary was Alma Gunther. She was eat- ing a nice fat doughnut. Said Mr. Martin had sold it to her. I looked this Mr. Martin up and found he was the old Luther Martin I had known in school. He is getting along fine and how! As I walked down the street one day I saw a sign Light Waves. I went in and found Margaret Ball, who now runs the largest Beauty saloon in Scolland. In Ireland I found May Guthrie. May, as you know, has taken Clara Bow's place in the movie,world. She was in Ireland on a publicity tour. She told me that Ray Hicks, our blonde hero and bad boy, has again won the national sharpshooting cham- pionship. Going on to Germany I found Wilma Heimbach. Wilma is now Mrs. Leslie Miner, but uses her maiden name on the stage. She is the world's most renowned prima donna. And now comes the surprise of sur- prises! While in Germany I was given the honor of visiting the Kaiser, and when I went to shake hands with him imagine my astonishment to find he was Egon Hofer. The Kaiser put on a little entertain- ment for me while I was there and who should I find to be his best man but Bernard Ensign. I remembered him as the fellow who was always in demand for all school programs and such, be- cause of that natural wit. A clan of dwarfs performed for us and I thought' I recognized the leader and trainer. The Kaiser told me it was a Mr. Joe Floyd. In China I found John and Maurice Mathis. The Mathis brothers have a great factory where they make all the little stamps that say Imported from Japan. They have made mil- lions selling these to American novelty shops. While here I also heard that Ed- ward Oh has joined the army of retired. His life work has been to iso- late the germs that make crickets sick. He told me that Jock Orr is now the
