H S I shall endeavor to tell you sonethlng of our classmates, all of whom were on board As we salled along we were much amused to see Dorathy Peters Parr son trylng to keep her elght sons out of the way of Junlor Wllllamson, Notre Dane's Coach, who was demonstratlng some of the maneuvers that helped his football team w1n the Blg Ten trophy th s year These same elght youngsters were also much 1nterested 1D the Blue R1bbon Bob Hllger was displaylng It was won by h1s steer, 'Fat Stuffn whlch was shown at the Internat1onal L1V9StO0k Show last wlnter Rad1o and the movles seem to have taken the1r share of our classmates Remember Fred Edwards, the usher at the little El Paso Theater? It d1dn't take him long to get started on h1s m11lion, for he is now owner of the largest theater in Chicago Next week his theater 18 showlng 'GONE WITH TH AIRH starrlng those screen sweethearts,F1eanor Desmond and Vlctor Roush. I heard B111 Dunmlre, the Hollywood Scandal Reporter, say over the radlo last week, that they have already started buildlng a new home in Beverly Hllls Oh, I forgot o mentlon that V1rg1l wood d1rect1n1 one of the biggest productlons n years.

It 13 surprlslng how many of our classmates have gone 1nt0 buslness There's Kenneth Barron wlth hls new IOUILOOSE bunlon cure, Betty Barney, and her Betty Watch Factory at Panola, and Loren Alt, Bob Bower, and Jesse oarr1tners, who have the A. B. k C Publxshlng Company They have Just publlshed Emma Bo1an's new book, 'How to Win and Keep Two Boy Frlends N She 1B the f6m1D1DB Dale Carnegle.

Foreign shores have called many of the group to fame and fortune. Perhaps I should say misfortune for Gene Dressler who is still using crutches He had a bad fall and broke his leg during a ski jumping contest in Switzerland recently Lyle Armstrong has acquired a BTit1Bh accent, and, believe it or not, he wears a monocle I d1dn't thlnk l1v1ng ln England would ever do that to him It must be n1ce to be a man of lelsure' and act as a companion to the Prlnoe of Wales.
