Saturday evening a reunion banquet was give11 at Gray Court School, by the class of twenty-seven. The guests of honor were Miss Gray and Miss Porter. All of the faculty 1ue111ber were present, and representatives from all the classes that were in the school in twenty- seven. The banquet was a great success. The a.bove article appeared in tl1e society column of the f'Advocate,' on the Monday following the never-to-be-forgotten reunion. As a inenlber of the class of twenty-seven, I will endeavor to tell you how time has dealt with 1ny school-niates. My fellow classnlate, Kay, had come all the way from Baltimore to be with us. ,Strange to say she and XVinnie Laurie had managed to carry out all their wild schemes which they had made while they were a.t school. 'llhey took a trip to Europe in an aeroplane, rode on a niotorcycle, and went down i11 a diver's suit. There were several other adventures they had, but it would ta.ke too lo11g to tell of them. Kay iinally went. South and settled down in peace and quiet. Laura Falk was no lo11ger just plai11 Laura Jane, but had reached the height of Parisian society and niade a fortune as an interior decorator. To follow tl1is profession was always her secret ambition, and we were all glad to know that her desires 11ad been realized.l Doris Happy and Anne Brewer had both climbed the ladder of fame as portrait painters. Doris carried on her work in Anierica, wl1ile Anne startled Europe with her portraits of the celebrities, such as the President of France, of his cabinet l1lQ1llbCl'S and the King of England. . Dot Clark went out YV est and bought a. ranch, where thoroughbred horses were raised. Dot told us that she had purchased Mabel, and the dear old horse was spending a happy old age on the ranch. Beryl Austin Zllld Marguerite Morrill were Boston society leaders and there was 11ot a. da.y that went by, that their names did not appear in the papers, because of some social benefit they had rendered to their beloved city. 23
