U O A THE CLASS OF '29-TEN YEARS FROM NOW In celebration of their fifth wedding anniversary, Marjorie Cooper, for- merly Marj. Shellenberger, and Morris Cooper invite the class of '29 to a dinner party at their home in Los Angeles, California, June 10, 1939. At last the night of the tenth arrived and all were anxious to see their old school chums again, and to learn of their success in the world. We were told that Marj., after teaching Physical Training in D. H. S. for two years and swimming the English Channel in 1934, settled down with the present owner of the Buick', Car Corporation, Morris Cooper. Seated at the left of the happy couple was Dr. Ross, now dean of the University of Pennsylvania, and Ed. Slaughter, Penn's Football and Basket- ball Coach. G'Ed,' was trying his best to tell 'flayn Richar, All-American left end, about his success in coaching, but he found too much competition with Eddie Kriebel, who was excitingly telling us about the uFord airplanes Pee Wee was selling. fYes, Eddie is in partnership with him.l With May Lock and Martha Gross as their head aviatrices, no wonder the planes are selling fast. It was all I could do to keep L'Bill', Brown from telling the waiter on which side to put the salad, which side the bread and butter went on, etc.. for who should know better than Bill, now head waiter in one of the largest Hotels in New York. Robert Swenson also insisted upon directing the traffic of food, for he was working under HBill,' in the same hotel as Bill's best waiter. To look down at the other end of the table you would have thought that Hanna Patterson was still on a diet, for three courses were alreidy piled up in front of her. untouched. No, it wasn't thatg it was just that she was busy

Seated next to the psychologist was Martha Holmes, noted throughout the United States and Europe for her musical talent. She is also editor of the Harper's Maga- zine, with Charles Lerch as business manager, and has done much in assisting other magazines to proht through her system of Meconomyf' Doc,' Simons managed to get his force of nurses off for the occasion. He told us about his interest in medicine and his head nurse, '4Mim Shellen- berger. Among the other members of his staff were Kit Derstine, Marion Bennett, Anna Cope, Dot Bruner, Frances Johnson, Viola Lerch, Florence Lock and Mary Trauger. We all agreed that the Doc had a dependable force of good looking nurses. Attention was then called to the fact that the cream used in the coffee was from the biggest dairy in the United States, owned and operated by Anthony Hafler and Cyril Hinkle, and that all the vegetables were from the largest produce store in California, namely the a'California Fruit Market, owned by 4'Sam Siegel. Bob McNair, now manager of the New York Yankees, had with him the second Babe Ruth, Bill Murray, and his star third baseman, Lester Quinn. Ruth Vifasser, superintendent of a Girls, Boarding School, brought her faculty: Sara Brinker, Physical Training, Anna Cornell, History, Ruth Det- weiler, Sewing, Alma Fretz, French, Helen Lewis, English, Florence Riegel, Civics, and Grace Stultz, Dramatics. After'dinner Dot DeHart recited a number of Leonard Layton,s now famous works. Leonard, by the way, is Poet Laureate of America, while Dot is on the stage in New York with Atlee Cadwallader as her manager. '4Something snappierlv hollered out Karl Vang, manufacturer of HWeidner,, Bicycles. HAH right! How about a dance, Mae? Maybe Mae Dinlocker wasn't embarrassed, for she has given up dancing and is now tak- ing up MArt. HWell, then letis have the 'Four Devilsf exclaimed Virgil Layman, inventor of the Layman typewriter, the Mtypewriter that always worksf, The 'GFour Devilsw Oh! Yes, 'LBeaty', Frankenfield, 4'Dot,, Everett, Dutch', Coulton, and uLiz'7 Howes. Of course, none of us were surprised when we saw a handkerchief produced and placed over their eyes, for then we knew that they were going to show us what they have been showing the world for the last eight yearswmfhe Blindfold Test. Much applause was given to them when they immediately all guessed HLucky.,' Ewing Clark was giving some interesting details of his adventures in the African Jungle, when Harry Rush and Lloyd Schuyler dashed into the room, and explained to us why they and many of the other members of our class were unable to be present at the dinner. They invited us all over to the g'Rush and Schuyler Theatrei' for a treat. Stepping outside of the house, we found a bus waiting to take us over to the theatre. To our surprise, who should be driving the bus but 'gBob', Wiser. Arriving at the theatre we noticed inscribed on the huge building the words HConstructed by 4Cas' Lauerf, Walking through the corridor, we heard the familiar voice of uWalt,, Wolfe. Sure enough here was MPrince. all decked out in blue overalls and
