gi75 r'l...ll.-r:N 'e-53 Most of us thought the Shining City of Oeehsler had a gum-tree grove, for many had its produet between their jaws. Our eaptain said that the chewing of gum was against ship orders and forbade us to use it. From then on, praetieally no more gum was used, and we did not look like a tribe of vows, 1-hewing their eud. From the very beginning of our stay, we were visited by a plague or epidemit- whieh was very frightful indeed. This disease was known as the dant-ing fever and it spread rapidly. Many eould not sit still when they heard musit-, but felt- the blood tingling in their veins, and were up to danee. The erisis of the disease was the Freshman Party, where we daneed to our hearts' eontent. But this was the least of our experienees. .lust as measles and other diseases are so easily c-aught from a little germ, so did this danf-ing bring about a more complicated trouble. A majority 1-aught the little germ of so-1-alled love. The ones who were suseeptible paired off and many tender whispers and mueh love making ensued. Of eourse a great deal of this was puppy love, for many turned fiekle and t'repaired. Some eitizens of a mueh less renowned eity, namely Mary Agnes Swanwiek, Doris Taylor and Virginia Bigelow, were so impatient to rome to the Shining City of Oeehsler that they 'tdug deep into their books and were promoted to our 1-ity. They entered into our lives as eompletely as though they had always been with us, and we enjoyed their eompany immensely. At this interesting eity we experi- eneed many other ineidents, but they are too numerous to tell. The heavens are studded with brilliant stars, triumphantly proclaiming us victors, forfthrough Experienee Oeean we have sailed and are now safe at port. -MARY LEONE FREUND. Prophecy for Miss Oechsler's Class 1924 VVAS sitting on the sofa of my apartment on Riverside Drive, gazing out at the falling snow, when I became aware of a ring at my door. I was tired after my day's work at the studio. Painting steadily always makes one tired. I slowly erossed the room and through the mouth pier-e asked who was there, but the only response I received was, It's a friend. Curiosity led me to push the button, and as I stood waiting at the top of the stairs, I tried hard to think who this friend eould be. Dorothy I-Iallerl I gasped, as a smiling-faeed young lady eame into view, Where in the world did you eome from? Oh, Mugs, I'm so glad to see you. I was in New York and thought that I'd stop in. 'II am surely glad you did. Here, let me take your eoat. What a darling jacket you have. Thank you. By the way, I got it at Betty Jane Davis' and Ardanelle O'Neil's little shop in Toledo. They have darling things there. That reminds me of the old class! Let's see, it has been fifteen years since our class graduated from Fulton and eight years sinee I left Toledo. Have you seen many of the old class lately? Well, yes. Last week, when I was in Toledo, I saw Elfrid Nic-hols. You know she has married Robert Whitmore, a millionaire. Then there's Harry Feld- Th iriem
