It seems so queer to address your letters to Mrs. McCullough. lVe were so sorry that you couldn't come to our first class reunion at the Elm- wood gym last week. It was the first time l had been in Elmwood for five years. Vl'e had more fun! Dr. Leland Simkins was present. He is quite successful in his surgical work in Peoria. ltlon is the President of the School of Pharmacy of Centerville. Arizona, so. of course wasn't able to come.

She says that she. like me. can't find a man to suit her. .lohn Vl'eeks is a member of the Illinois State Legislature. and his brother-in- law. Bill Proctor, is his personal advisor. Bill fell heir to a million from some distant relative in Australia. so he has no profession. lVho could blame him? Have you heard from Helen lately? She is in California. her ideal state. She is giving swimming lessons. and doubling for the tilm stars in all dangerous situa- tions. She couldn't come back for the reunion.
