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
