17924 Ft-iculiq Prohccu New York City, N. Y. April 17, 1930. Dearest Josephine: O,.Di Immortales, the Fates surely have brought good fortune, and I certainly must tell you. Prepare yourself for the surprise of your life! Last night when I was reading before the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni meeting whom did I see as an honored guest, but our dear Miss Parson fal- though her name is no longer Parsonl. I certainly was surprised and de- lighted when she introduced her husband. She said she had met him while she was teaching Dramatic Art at Wisconsin, and that he was President of the National Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity. As I had heard nothing about the faculty of 1924 I was anxious to hear their fate. She told me that Mr. Snyder was instructing the rising generation, and was writing an Economic's text. Did, you hear that Mr. and Mns. Smith were having trouble? She said that Mr. Smith said that he could not stand to be scolded in Latin as he liked to know what he was being called. It certainly is too bad for' their little girl. But then you know Mr. Abell always said that even the best regulated families had their troubles. I can't imagine R. B. Miller managing a furniture factory in Ohio. It seems that he ought to be coaching a basketball team. Mr. Stegemoller ought to be able to manage the Union High School after escaping from that Biology class with his life. I suspect that Raymond Allen is saving quite a sum of money since he has married and is teach- ing Mathematics at Wabash College. I always said that he would some- time live there for it seemed so attractive to him while he was teaching at Greentown. She also said that she had recently met Miss McKenzie who was returning from a lecture course tour. Can't you just seek Miss Pearson teaching Civics in G. H. S? I wonder if she ever tells them to come to order. She can't help making a success when she has such a sweet co-worker as Miss Greenwalt. I'm afraid I would find it rather dull to teach Junior High for seven years. I can almost hear Miss Goyer telling the Shorthand class at Fort Wayne Business College that chewing gum is not essential. Wouldn't you love to be in Ross Allen's History class at I. U.? I wonder whether or not he still gives high grades to the undeserving. It seems but yesterday that he was assigning topics to us in history. I do not know of anyone I would have rather seen than Miss Parson, unless it would be you. I surely had a lovely visit with her and her hus- band. They left here yesterday and I am leaving tomorrow. Perhaps I shall some day have an appointment in Montana and can see you there. Cum Amore, Fern U21
