Marjorie told them of another of their old classmates, Pearl Shepard, who was a grand opera singer in New York. No other classmates were met until they arrived at the president's office at the White House and there seated at the typewriter was none other than Eren Dawson, private secretary to President Collins. Junior had now enough material to write a book on the benefits deriv- ed from riding on eight wheels and Bob's blister was much improved, so they gave up their journey and flew back to Goldendale with Lindy.

Here they were stopped by traffic officer Claude Miller and informed that they had a flat tire. They noticed a great change in Claude since the days of '28. His hair was a flaming red and one arm had been shot off in a Chicago raid. Claude invited them out to spend the evening with him and talk over the good old days in G. H. S. While there he told them of a number of their classmates. He said that Ted Musgrave and Jack Kelleher, senators from California, were attempting to repeal the twenty-seventh Amendment, which denied congressman the right to marry. It was rumored that Florence Elliott and Wanda Moore, prominent Hollywood Chorus girls, had something to do with their stand. Junior questioned Claude about Arline Loughary, though he knew it to be a touchy subject. He laughed and said that she was an old maid and had fitted out a house for her and her twenty dogs to live in with Myra Schuster living with her to amuse the dogs in preparation for her pro- fession as a nurse. Though they were loathe to leave, they had to be on their way. They had hoped to reach Detroit, by nightfall, but as Robert Hobbs developed a painful blister on his heel it was necessary that they seek rooms at the exclusive Rice-Carlson hotel at Gary. As they entered the elevator the operator smiled and said, Hello, Bob! Why, Bessie Harlan, he exclaimed, of all places to find you. She explained that this was the only business she could find by which she could rise in the world, though her husband, Ray Olsen was a successful Ford mechanic. The next evening as they rolled into Detroit they met Elizabeth Hill, the famous detective. She had discovered, by a method secret to herself, what became of Elizabeth Bratton. It was found that after playing Fair Elizabeth in A. Spoon's light opera, Disappointments, she had run away to dance with Jimmy Cahill in Zelma Montgomery's stock company. Just as they were leaving Kansas City they met Marjorie Locy, an aviatrix who was sailing for Washington D. C., and she offered to take them to their distination. As they had made no definite plan they accept- ed. They hadn't gone far before Colonel Locy noticed a knock in the motor and they landed in a field. After a thorough investigation they found they were out of gas and began looking around for aid. They saw a near-by farm-house and went to it for help. Upon approaching the house they noticed a lady asleep in a hammock. To their great amazement they found that it was Mrs. Norman Jones, formerly Marjorie Barnes, of the class of 1928. Being unable to conceal their surprise they called her name and she awakened with a start. After talking for a few minutes Marjorie picked up a newspaper that was laying on the ground, and there on the front page of the sport section was the picture of our two class mates, Kathryn Allison and Blossom Hardin, famed animal huntresses, just home Page Twenty

19-SIMCOE-28 'l -'- -'-'--'-----------'------------------+-------'---------- ---4- The Junior year brought more activities into its hands, the Prom and the class play. The first mentioned speaks for itself. The play When a Feller Needs a Friend presented February twenty-second brought to light new talent and proved a success. That year the officers were Howard Fenton, president: Maurene Green, vice-president and Arline Loughary, secretary-treasurer. A number of ounces and inches were added to the football team from the creature June Hall, a new part, gave her skill and pep to the Girls' Basketball Team. The fall of 1927 found the paragon well on its way toward graduation. As Seniors, the parts selected Ray Olsen, presidentg Pearl Shepard, vice- presidentg Wanda Moore, secretary-treasurerg and Mrs. Bacher, Advisor. Under the leadership the rest of the parts were inspired to undertake the task of earning a new curtain for the stage. With this as a goal it sold candy and conducted a waffle shop at basketball games. It also served a Commercial Club dinner which enabled it to make a gift which will place it in the front rank of graduating Seniors. It presented the Senior play Square Crooks December 9, which helped to provide funds to carry on its activities. At Christmas it pro- vided a program and induced Santa Claus to come and give out all the presents and read some of the letters he had received from the student body. The monster also provided several inches of talent for the Ritzie Revue, the proceeds of which were applied on scenery. The creature will be divided at graduation but each part will re- member that it was once a member of the Class of '28 and will attempt to bring honor to that organization. -E. B.'28.
