a rustle of silk, a twittering voice and one of deeper tone. Then Roy Scott, a portly gentleman, entered with his slender little wife, formerly Ethel .Morgan. I had never seen a more handsome couple. Another prominent guest was Albert Busch, the socialistic purifier of politics. But all the phases of his policy are not consistent, for he has not yet taken a wife with whom to share his good fortune. Dora Reimers. judge of the juvenile court, and .Mr. Fleishman, the district-attorney, were also there. Mae Eiler was entirely carried away by the strains of an Italian count’s music and promises to join him at the gon- dola party while among the Venetians. Ilerr Irwin Frohardt, the modern Paderewski, played several compositions on the grand piano. We left New York on the steamer “Princess Louise.” named after a German princess, formerly our Louise Boyer. She is now happy in her castle on the Rhine. We arrived in London April 22nd and at Oxford met Mr. Joseph Williams, L. L. D. B. A. Yes, that is his name, given by degrees. Trevor Lewis is now an all-star architect, for he has rebuilt the cathedrals of Belgium with great splendor. He said Ceridwen was so in love with her dramatic work that she would give him no encouragement along matrimonial lines. We landed in Italy much worn out. .Miss Eiler decided to become Obuntess An ton ius Marsi and we were witnesses of the cere- mony. Marie and I remained at their villa for two days and then took the steamer for Egypt. While there, who do you sup- pose we met? None other than Ruth McReynolds and her husband, a prominent Bostonian. They were sitting near the silent sphinx, gazing at the stars. She told us her life had been one continuous romance since leaving Granite High. We left sunny Egypt by the way of the Suez canal en route to Turkey. Hera we met Emil Mueller, the United States ambassador. One day while in Tokyo, we passed a beautiful garden, lovely with the fragrance of apple-blossoms and in a quaint per- gola we recognized Lee Borden Aker. She said that her husband had made a large fortune exporting Japanese novelties to America; also that Frank Bethel had been in Japan, selecting bight rope walkers for his circus. During our stay in Japan we called upon the American ambassador, bhe lion. Russell Wilson. Several times during our voyage T had noticed a mysterious looking person who seemed to be continually watching Marie. One moonlight night while strolling along deck. I saw two people sitting near the railing and not wishing to disturb them I sat down a few feet away. Suddenly I heard a little cry of joy and noticed that the gentleman was holding her hand. It was Marie’s voice. Why should she be sitting here with this stranger? But before I reached them they got up and came toward me. Marie gave me a big hug and said, “Don’t you recognize Randle, isn’t he handsome and just think I have prom .” Our pleasant conversation was interrupted by the cries of “San Francisco Bay.” We were back in the II. S. A. again. The lights on deck became dim. my journey was ove v and my story ended. Esther Scott TREVOR LEWIS: — “I will not budge, for no man ' s pleasure.

Hill 0 the students of Granite High, inhabitants of Granite City, residents of Illinois, and citizens of the United States of America: We, the Class of ’15 of Granite High, being of sound mind, on this, the — th day of .May. in the Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen, do hereby present our last will to dispose of all property left by us after our departure from this happy life. Our bequests are as follows: To Prof. Parrish we pay an apology for the carelessness of Lee Borden Aker and Louise Boyer in flunking” in Com- mercial Law. Frank Bethel’s popularity with the corps of science teachers, we bequeath to Jennings Reynolds, so he can misbehave in class without being scolded. To Harry Weisman. Jr., we grant the use of Albert Busch ' s political influence; and may Harry become the first presi- dent of the United States from his party, thru this pull.” Bryan Compton’s taking” ways we will to Fred Butler. Compton got away from Decatur Hotel with nearly all the furniture. Do as well next year. Butler. The basket-ball ability of Gladys Duffey. we give to Priscilla Davis, the Juniors’ star. To Martha Evans, we bequeath Mae Eiler’s reputation as the most well-behaved girl in German VI class. Samuel Fleishman’s tournament numbers, we will to Mr. Graham. We ask that he frame and hang them in the furnace room to remember Samuel. So that Elmer Branding will know that a fiat is not a note on which someone has stepped, to him is given Luella Gisler’s knowledge of music. For the benefit of Lorenzo Hughes’ pompadour, we give him a large size bottle of Trevor Lewis’ “Guaranteed to Stick” hair oil. To Arthur Maserang is bequeathed William Lewis’ faculty for learning his lessons, so that Arthur can pass three sub- jects and play basket ball next year. To Mildred Ryrie we bequeath Ruth McReynold’s “make-up” outfit, so Mildred won’t have to buy one when she goes into vaudeville. Upon Arthur Buente we bestow the cognomen “Chippy.” now held by Earl Miller. Mildred Morefield’s experience as leading lady in the “Windmills of Holland” we bequeath to Mary Myers, so Mary won’t have stage-fright in her leading role next semester. To George Wilderman. the Freshman “Diving Venus.” we will Ceridwen Morgan’s water-wings. Our idea is to keep George above water so he won’t be mistaken for a submarine. To Max Bramer. the stamp connoisseur of High School, we devise Ethel Morgan’s valuable stamp collection, consisting of a cancelled postage stamp, a Red-Cross Christmas stamp and three Eagle Trading Stamps. Emil Mueller’s keys and key-ring are given to Harold Todd for him to rattle when he’s “broke.” To Helen Ward we bequeath Mildred Partridge’s smile. May Helen shed brightness wherever she goes. EARI. MILLiER: — “Whose little body lodged a mighty mind.
