and he teaches a great number of pupils. He is putting on a recital in about two months. No date had been set so watch in the Ai Gazette —His studio is well known. In fact girls come from all parts of the country just to take lessons from Dave Forrest. Harold Schmitz, Paul Snyder, and Sidney Shipman are now known as the Outragious Trio —singing over WEZQ every morning at 6:30. You will recognize them by their theme song— Shrimp Salad Shag . Oh I Maxine—Jane told me,has a lot of little Stouts . They have to build a little addition onto their house each year to make enough room. The number of children at present is 11 1 Dorothy Estel now has a very good job, as the bass drummer in Sammy Kaye's orchestra. It seems her husband, Dave, taught her to play the drum in their high school days. Dave lost interest in it after graduation. Marcia Hilton is a mechanic at the Ford Garage in Ai. If you want anything fixed, just bring it to Marcia I Jane tells me Sylvia Mossing has now captured the title of Head Nurse at the Ai Memorial Hospital. Owen Carroll has now become a professional basketball player at Toledo University. Then Jane told me about Mary Lou Moore. She is with the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Baily Circus. She is the head trapize artist. She's really good I I was glad to hear all about my old classmatesespecially that they have all succeeded so well since graduation.

As I was making my way around the revolving door who should I notice but the familiar face of the former Jane Vau§£ian. I knew she was married because I saw a lot of little C's trailing along. When I graduated I went to Texas to spend a vacation, and liked it so very much I decided to make it my home. But after fifteen years I wanted to come back for a visit and when I returned to my astonishment I found Ai had increased in population until it now consistes of approximately 22,861 residents. I have lost track of all my classmates, but Jane said she’d tell me all about them. So to begin with we went to the Hite and Gombash Club for lunch. This is located be- side the former schoolho'use. You see in '48 the school- house tumbled and fell caused by tte racket and disooedience of the pupils. Ai now has a very modernistic schoolhouse. As I was saying—Reta and Eugene got along so veil in school together that they were very agreeable in becoming partners in business. Neither of them married (have as yet). As we entered a small stage show was going on. I re- cognized 3ernice Stilwill, who was tap dancing. Jane told me Bernice took dancing lessons for 11 years before she made a puhll c appearance. When we left we saw a middle aged spinster traversing from the other side of the street toward us. Looking closer I recognised the face of Helen Winter. Jane said she's now known in Ai a6 Madam Spitcurl because she owns her own Beauty parlor. We chatted a while and Helen told me about the mis- fortune of her old girl friend, Joyce Putman. It seems Joyce was disappointed so many times in life, due tomatrimonsi reasons, that she finally decided to form a womens club for people in her perdicament—known as the Sorry Saps Society for Silly Sacks . Jane told me about Dave (Arthur Murry) Forrest and his dancing school. After he graduated he became interested in tap dancing, so he learned the art and now has a large school
