Everett Struble had been in New York a short time before and delivered his world famous lecture on his Arctic Explorations. Rowena had also heard that Pauline Martin, who after studying several years in the Bamboo Isles, had become a famous violinist. Before I Eft New York we attended a ball at New York’s most famous danc.ng academy, and to the astonishment of both of us, we found that Carlos Mohr was ihe owner, manager, and dancing master. At the end of the week, I decided that I liked school teaching better than the excitement of New York City; although I had had a wonderful Mme and learned the whereabouts of all my old classmates. I found Mr. Frank at the hotal patiently waiting for the return trip, which was made without a mishap. Grace Stoltz

While in Pittsburg 1 had purchased a couple of news papers. 1 was glancing over the page of one of them, when my eyes fell on the headline of an article telling of a great bank robbery. What I saw next surprised me. The cashier of this large bank was Lowell Bricker. Reading a little more,, I was still more greatly surprised in learning that his wife was formerly Margaret Tearney of Alvordton, and who was now a successful leader of a society circle. I turned over the page and came to the athletic page. Pittsburg had a game scheduled with Toledo for the next evening. The leading player for Pittsburg was our own Jud Gleason, the star player in old F. H. S. days. In looking in another paper I found that one of the leading representatives to Congress was Grace Foglesong. We arrived in New York safely. I procured a room at Hotel Astor. I decided to go to see “Romeo and Juliet” which was playing at the Astor theatre. And who do you suppose was playing the lead? It was Marv Swanger, but her Romeo was unknown to me. The play was very good, but then it should have been good for I learned later that Ruby Mae Caul-kins, the star dramatist of our old class, was directing the play. I was very tired so I retired to my room immediately. The next morning I arose early, about 12:00 a. m. and started out to locate Miss Benson. The Newsboys were crying out about a great discovery. of course I had to buy a paper, and there across the front page in large head lines told of a new invention produced by a second Marconi, Mr. Franklin Roosa. A message had just been received from Mars, saying that the oil s'ock had dropped three points there. I glanced thru the paper and under the church news I noticed an article concerning the wonderful missionary work being done by Mr. George Crane Jr. and his wife Juanita (Juanita Boucher.) Who’d have though4 it? It stated that they were having great success in teaching the people of Borneo how to raise boys successfully on ginger snaps. Arriving at the Metropolitan where Rowena was then singing, I learned that she would not make her appearance until that evening. So I spent the afternoon taking in the city. I did not see her until after the performance and then we surely had .some chat. I found that she was booked for a year ahead and seemed to be having a great success. She invited me home with her. During my stay of a week in New York we talked about everything that had happened in the past. She told me that she heard that Theodore Crane had been elected president of Uruguay, South America by a majority of foUy-seven against Count Van Doosenberry. He sure did like to be president.
