16 THE BOOSTER (ttlasis |fr0j%nj to me. I will advise you. — Estella Graver. Beneath this was a letter reading, Dear Miss Graver, I took a young lady home from a church social last night and as soon as we got to the gate she went in. What Shall 1 do? Yours in a pickle, , Otis Ervin. The article said that Miss Graver would answer the letter in the next day ' s paper. On the sport page I saw a picture of Evelyn O ' Mara, who recently defeated Suzzane Lengler, the French tennis star. On one page I saw an ad reading, I will write your poems for you to your sweetheart, your mother, your boss or for your tomb- stone — Nellie ' Campbell. I also saw this item, Hair marcelling, Music Lessons, Dancing Instructions, Shoe Shining — Gertrude Wertz. I guess Gertrude thinks if she can ' t succeed at one thing, she ' ll try several. 1 folded the paper up and went on only to meet Doretta Heger. She told me she had a fine position as a stenographer but had been asked to resign because when taking a letter which her boss was to send to his fiancee, she had written, You were a little horse last night, instead of hoarse. I guess the fiancee let Doretta ' s boss know that she wasn ' t a little horse. Doretta whispered to me that Russel Jorden was the boss and Marie Tacoma the fiance. Doretta is a wonderful gossiper, so as we traveled on I learned the following: Forest Pyke is teaching a dancing class and his star pupil is Harry Hoffman. Mabel Bullard is keeping house for Louis Geis. Mary Glezen is at the head of a toothpick concern and Marie Massey is head stenographer while Kenneth Holdaway is office boy. Harold Geisendorf and Harold Sweeney are traveling salesmen for the company — their business being to demonstrate the correct position of holding a toothpick Doretta stopped for the lack of breath and I found that I was almost home. As I thought over the positions which my class mates are holding in 1932, I felt a surge of pride go through me — they have all made a name for them- selves and are steadily climbing the ladder of fame.
