20 THE ULMUS Senator and Mrs. Jarman of Maine gave a week end party at their hunting lodge, February 15. Mrs. Jarman was formerly Miss Mary De- mick. Those who attended from the class of '23 were Katherine Cusack, Illinois's next woman candidate for Congressg Ralph Melville, who is doubling for Rudolph Valentino, movie star, doing only the very danger- ous partsg Elsie Manual, plianist for lshman Jones' Orchestra, having made many Brunswick Records since leaving schoolg Dorotha Young, now the wife of General Moon of the U. S. Reserves, and Millard Day, h0lCler Of the VVorld's Championship in Shorthand and Typewriting. He writes two hundred and fifty words a minute in shorthand and two hundred on the typewriter. They were very enhusiastic in their praise of Senator and Mrs. Jarman's hospita.lity. Many housekeepers are thankful to Professors Cullings and Jaques for their invention of the electric egg-beater. The idea originated in their study of Physics under Mr. Huffington. Margaret Ekstrand is the head of Kilbourne's Detective Agency of Olin. Margaret always was ready to help anyone in trouble and she says she wants to see that criminals are given their just deserts. Pearl Clinch is her favorite detective and she is often assigned baffling mysteries which she seems to solve without much difficulty. William DeFord and Paul Miles are the joint owners of a dairy and hog farm three and one-half miles south of Edwards Station. Paul rgns the dairy as he always specialized in milk-testing in Ag. Class, and XVil- lard cares for the hogs. He still has Rosie this project for Ag. Classy Although she is getting old, he says he cannot part with her. XVilliam Schenck, after reading many northern books, got the gold craze and accompanied by Harry Stotler went td Alaska to make their fortunes. After a few days' hard work, they get disgusted and now are owners of the best dog team in the world and expect to win the three hundred mile race next winter. As you read this I am sure you will be proud of the fact that not a one of the class of '23 has failed in his work. Yours very truly, DELLA BROVVN

T H E U L M U S IQ Senior Class Prophecy XVe are plrinting a letter received from Della Brown, a reporter for the New York Gossip. New York City, March 23, 1933. Citizens of Elmwood: As you will remember the class of '23 of the Elmwood High School was the life, noat only of the school, but of the whole town, I know you will be interested in the work they are doing to help the world keep mov- ing in this year of 1933. Lucile Flint, while visiting in California the year after graduation, caught the attention ogf Cecil de Mille with her wonderful facial expres- sions. She is now well on the way to stardom, a progress which has been attained only by her holnest efforts. Elva NVolford and liarline XVeeks, who were interested even in their high school days in marcelling and complexiorn beautifiers, are running a beauty shop on Broadway and I hear they are performing miracles on the unfortunates. Floyd Brown is the young minister who has attracted so much at- tention by his powerful sermolns on Prohibition in the Presbyterian Church in Butte, Montana. I Cornelius Kemp has attained his life long ambition, a.nd is carrying on his missioinary work in Africa. The natives think there is no one like Mister Cornif' I . . . f Doris Colvin a.nd Leah Maher are still the same old pals they were in '13, as both are old maids. They have just cdmipleted a two year course in toe dancing in Paris and will give their first performance in United States at the dedication of the new Gem Theatrel' of Oak Hill. VVe are surprised at the wonderful athletic abilities which Lester Turl and Cecil Coon have exhibited since leaving E. H. S. Lester will re- present the U. S. in the shot put and Cecil in the milie run at the next ill- ternational track meet in Yates City. 5 Margaret Seltzer, who always was inclined to be acrobatic, is doing breath-taking stunts in a small vaudeville company touring the U. S. Everett lipley and lNalter Dalton are playing in Sousafg Band. Most of their experience was gained in the E. H. S. Orchestra.
