And they live on West 42nd St. ln a delightful eight room flat. She asked me to go to a didings, A lecture in South Hall at eight And l knew from her mysterious air, That it must be something great. At first l tho't of Wilma A leading sufferagette of the day, CXJ And decided that it must be she, QXJ To whom our respects we were soon to pay But Io! unto my surprise and joy, ' As the speaker took his place lt was none other than dear old Tom Who came that vast hall to grace. Before I realized what l was doing l had started our blessed class yell For the sight of our blessed class president Made me forget all else, Well, lt was an occasion for joy, I guess For Tom had become great you see, And he' was running for U. S. president Oh! how the sight of him thrilled me! He spoke eloquently, earnestly, Just as he always had And it gave me much satisfaction - To think he was a 'Io lad. He was carried off in triumph By New York's big men to a feast. And l had no time to see him, So decided to leave the east And go home to lowa To Grundy Center, you know, Everybody knows that Thats the best place to go. l arrived home at just the right time - For a wedding was to be done And sol went, next day, To see Russell and Dena made one. 'Twas a joyful affair indeed! A result of old High school days. l'll tell you what a friendship formed then ls a friendship that usually pays. They were going on a tour To visit each member of 1910. And after that they would be at home, ln the delightful city of Holland, when All their friends both young and old Could visit their select school for any girl

And Oh! how good it was To be back home once more. As we were entering a cab After having our luggage set free A dirty little newsboy, fit seemed that Providence sent him straight to mej I Handed me a New York paper And the very first thing to read, Was Don't fail to come to the Belasco! Tonight! The attraction is Goodell and Meade! And then on reading the rest I knew that it was really our Dick. His desire to be a comedian you know QXJ Was much alight even then When we left school that lovely June Our class of old 1910. Yes, Dick had surely made good And so did our musician, Glenn Gray, For now he travels the globe over As THE leading clarinetist of the day. Cl didn't learn about Glenn until later, but Oh dear! I couldn't wait to tell .. So l dropped the story herej l'll go back and tell you Something else that lfound out, While taking my patient Thru New York stores in and out. It happened in the funiest way Such things always do But l think this was the funniest And l'm sure you will too. We were purchasing ribbons At a bargain counter you know And it is so strange How just then l happened to go, Up to the side ofa tall, graceful lady l lingered a moment by her side Tho why l cannot tell But as soon as she looked down, my eyes opened wide For there was a dear old 1910 girl. lt was Hazel, you remember her, Hazel Canneld it used to be. But now, WHAT is her name? l'm very sure she told me, Anyway she's married and has a lovely home And of course a very fine man, Anyone would know that. ,

Beautifully situated, lovely quiet town Far removed from the social whirl l attended another nuptial feast While l was there at home. This time Vera Robins was married, And soon crossed the briny foam, And settled with her man in Gay Paree, With excellent prospects in view. Two bashful Junior maidens Decided that they would teach school And so prepareduthemselves thus. But Cupid, wicked Cupid so cruel, Shot great burning arrows Right into their hearty And from college friends They straightway did part, And began teaching a school of one. Oh! You wonder who in the world they can be, Why, ofcourse, the only two left, Vera Black and Louise C. l'd tell you heaps more, But l really haven't time, Even now l fear l have bored you, 'Till your mood is not quite sublime. 5 One thing more that concerns the class This is about our superintendent tho. He became state superintendent And lived in Des Nloines, you know, And before l return to my work To Des Moines l will surely go, And see lVlr. Love in his big olhce, So unlike his former SMALL oneg tho l probably will enter the big office, With a decidedly steadier tread, Than l oft entered the LITTLE office. With visions of di1'e misfortune, Whirling so painfully in my head. And now just let me say this about G C H S lt will ever be the best that ever graced old lowi s soil, And there'll be nothing so sweet Amid life's trials and turmoil, As to think of our High school days. Sweet, happy days of the past, And the golden memories of those days Will cling 'till the very last. And now, dearjuniors, let me say adieu' Let us strive the Senior goal to run, And make it the best of. High school years
