---- ls: Blass. EIL ----- ----- - EI Of course, it was anything but necessary for her to tell me of Ermia Bassett's wonderful missionary work on the roof of the world, Thibet. I had read of it. Ermia's sunny smile couldn't help but lighten up the way of the heathen. You probably know, continued Madame, of 'The Pink Tea Room' down the street. It is managed by Besse Kerner and Ella Ohlseng however, Besse is such a movie fan that most of the responsibility rests on Ella. They put out candy known as 'Mrs. Bassett's Home Made Candies' l've been told a man by the name of Leland Basset makes them. But why is it Mrs. Bassett's? questioned I. My dear lady, I presume it's for effect, besides, I have another appointment at one, and we have run Hve minutes over time now, she retorted. Well, if you feel that way about it, I'lI go now. How much, Madame? And off I was after a two-hour seance. As I rushed around the corner I en- countered a man wonderfully garbed-silk hat and all. My eyes met him, then looked away, and looked back again. I had seen those eyes somewhere, but where? They belonged to Waldo Reimer. At the same moment, seemingly, he recognized me. This was a rare experience to meet an old friend on busy Broadway. After having a most urgent invitation to dine with him at the Waldorf Astoria and talk over old times, I accepted. As I stepped into his limousine, there was Floyd Stahr lolling on the soft cushions. He, too, was dining with Ole that day. As we talked, the conversation told me that Floyd was a millionaire Sunday School teacher and that Ole was still in the banking business, in fact, a con- trolling power in Wall Street. , As we rode along in the warm spring sunshine, I was attracted to a hat shop managed by Viola jessen. There is quite a deal of comment on the antique col- lection along with her wide selection of modern millinery. Before I leave New York, I surely will visit her, I replied. Floyd, is that a new book you have? ' Yes, replied Floyd, it's Robert Kullmer's and Leonard Siemen's 'New Amer- ican History'. Some more old classmates, I replied. Folks, l've had one interesting time today. I ran across a lady that tried to tell me, at my request of course, all about the Class of Nineteen Twenty-Two. They gave me no rest until I had told them every detail, during many laughs and I doubt if that's so. O folks! cried I, as my eyes caught sight of a big electric sign reading: To- day-Lovilla Heckroth in fLove Me-Love Me Not.' Is that our Lovilla? Yes, answered Floyd, she's a star in the movies now. At last we came to our destination, and on entering the cafe, I was attracted by a large electric sign on the adjacent building, which contained in substance the words, Science and Invention. Waldo then told me that this electric sign was built and planned by Floyd Knupp, 'the consulting electrical engineer for the Science and Invention Magazine. He further stated that this electric sign was considered the best and most novel electric sign in New York, by the most prom- inent electrical engineers. I replied, I always knew Floyd would be a great inventor some day. I'IELEN KooNTz. Seventeen

Peet WP Halehirtnrg Ahhrezz As a class we are assembled here tonight for the last time. We may meet each other again but the same spirit will not exist. We shall no longer be students, but men and women making our own way in the world. Many of our present ideas will change and we will have a broader and fuller conception of the world. Many of the things that we cannot now understand will be made clear to us after we have longer sailed the sea of life. Though we have always looked forward to graduation with a spirit of rejoicing, now that the time has arrived to depart, we realize that we are breaking the bonds of association that have so long held us together. We now begin to realize how short our days of preparation have been and that we must now start on our voyage. We have in all these years been preparing to meet any obstacles which may bar the way. We wish to bid farewell to all those with whom we have been associated in the past four years, and to enter our voyage with a true and free heart. MABEL Sci-IROEDER. Nineteen
