SENIOR YEAR BOOK they wore were remarkable for their beauty and we were not a little surprised when one of our hostesses told us that they had been made by Saul and Dickson, designers of Lueile gowns. We observed a smiling face approaching and recognized Daniel DeArment, the now famous chemist, lie told us that it was impossible for him to have come any sooner and Bernice said that he was noted for his late appearance at every social affair. Daniel was in an intensely good humor as he had that day secured the assistance of Helen McLenahan, a chemist noted for her remarkable skill. Eleanor later informed us that she had invited Leona Chestnut to the tableaux, but that Leona had sent her regrets, having been unable to leave her work as dean of a select girls’ school a few miles above New ork. on the Hudson. Miss Henry said that on the following day she must make a business trip to our old home town and she would report to me any chance meeting with old schoolmates. In a week’s time she called at my ofiice and related with pleasure the happenings of her trip. She had talked with Ruth Shollenberger and Emma Fisher, who were now teaching in the Penn High School and had been directed by them to the smart millinery shop of Bash and McBroom. She had made a short call there and as she stopped to admire the chic hats a lady had entered the store. Upon closer scrutiny she had recognized Evelyn Wood who was now happily married and who had chosen her residence in Greenville. On the day of her return as she hastened to the station she had met Nadene McLenahan who was helping her father establish a system of scientific farming. According to Xadene’s story it seemed that Fred McGarey was still on the farm and a devoted follower of golf owing to the fact that part of his farm had been turned into a golf course. In a short time we resumed our duties with a keener interest for having come in personal touch with so many of our old chums ot the class of 1919 G. II. S. Agnes Henry and Earl Hickey. Twenty-nine

SENIOR YEAR BOOK Chicago, convalescing as a result of running through a real brick wall in his flivver. We returned to the hotel and I arranged with Miss Henry to accompany her on the return voyage and then planned my business for the next day. In a week’s time when, all details had been completed we started for America. Soon after we came on board we learned that there was to be a Sunday service on the boat and we at once decided to attend. Imagine our surprise when we found that the evangelist who was to talk was none other than Lewis Stevenson. He had as his pianist Rebecca MeClimans. while the choir consisted of Marion Little, Mildred Speir. Grace Beck and Eleanor Jackson. After this interesting service was ended we had a pleasant chat with our old friends and found that they were returning from China where they had been doing missionary work. Reverend Stevenson inquired if we had heard of the wonderful success of our old classmate, 1-Yank llazen. We answered in the negative and he informed us that Mr. Ila .en had been chosen as the most capable to head a committee of Chicago doctors that were to help clean up the slums. During the voyage we discussed others of our old school chums and the various occupations they were pursuing. 1 was pleased to hear that Vern Fisher and Wallace Campbell, two of our prominent chemists, had been successful at their latest experiment and had acquired a considerable fortune. We arrived in the States a few days later. We secured a taxi at the dock and ordered the driver to take us to our old friend. Mr. Belfanis, for luncheon. During a traffic jam at one of the busiest corners, 1 noticed a large limousine nearby and calling Miss Henry’s attention, we decided that the occupants were Bernice Fell and Eleanor Chase, two society leaders in New York. They shortly perceived us and recognition was mutual. They beckoned to us and we left our car to join them. They at once mentioned that they were presenting an open air tableaux the next day and they solicited our attendance. We made arrangements for the following day and parted. The next day we motored to the estate of our school mate who was formerly Miss Chase. Our two hostesses were awaiting us and they stated that they wished to present some old friends. As we went through the conservatory we noticed the beautiful cut (lowers. Before we had a chance to inquire as to the source of these we were informed that they had been purchased from Helen Lackey, who was conducting the leading florist shop in New York. Sitting in a secluded spot in the conservatory was a tall, dreamy looking young woman, who was the leading poet of the day, Madge Harrison. As she had given strict orders not to he interrupted while in her trance, we passed on. We saw that the all important event, the tableaux would soon take place and we hurried to our places. Prominent characters in this beautiful tableaux were, Kstella Thayer with the same smile of old, Anna Reed as full of vim as ever, and Marian Lout .enheiser as petite and charming as in the senior days.
