nf which Dick Dieters is tl1e Editor, tl1at Bunk Bosnlan had purchased a drug store in Seattle. IYashington, and tl1at the University of California had given :L banquet in honor of Rex Sirrineg it being tl1e hfth anniversary of his accept- ance uf tl1e position as Athletic Coach. Irle made a splendid success of Ath- letics there, continuing tl1e work l1e did in H. H. S. In Gerinany, while visiting the U11iversity at Berlin, we met Agnes lliemstra and Lillian Van Dyke. Tl1ey were botl1 taking post graduate courses in Germany a11d told us that upo11 their return to America, they were going to take a position in Vassar and Smith's Colleges, respectively, as Cierman teachers. They always were sucl1 Sl1211'lCS i11 German. XX'e didn't ren1ain in Germany very long but swiftly Hew over tl1e co11- tinent, over the Mediterranean sea and tl1e next stop we made was in Cairo, Egypt. It is a wonderful old city, having a fine university. Wfe were curious to learn how tl1ey taught tl1e pupils so we went in. Wfho do you suppose were teaching there? Elna Starring and Lena Visser. Elna was teaching I-Iis- tory a11d Lena, Englisl1. VV'e did not remain in Egypt long for I was due in japan. This tin1e we made a long flight over mountains a11d valleys and waters. Upon reacl1ing Tokio we went in1meditely to the Ambassador's home. WIC were delightfully entertained there by Gordon and his wife. Wfe talked over old days and I told l1in1 of tl1e wonderful surprises I l1ad met witl1 on our trip. VVe remained in Tokio about two weeks and after we all felt e11tirely rested we started on our return trip. Instead of going tl1e way we came we went around to Australia. IVe arrived. in Melbourne safely and I was astonished at the growth and progress of all tl1e Australian cities. They are as modern as tl1ose of our land. Ihfe visited several department stores and I went to tl1e suit and cloak department. I saw a lady coming towards me and 11oticed at once tl1at she was 11ot a 11ative. Then I recognized l1er. It was Isabelle Shuhahn. Sl1e was tl1e buyer of tl1e fa11cy dresses and suits. She said Martin Van Alsburg owned tl1e store but that l1e was in Paris at tl1e time. VVe did not re111ain tl1ere very lo11g but were again on our way. From Australia we went to Soutl1 America. As we reached tl1e coast of Soutl1 America we noticed a storm co111ing up and were forced to land. This we did and it happened to be on a large farm. Wfe 111ade a good deal of noise la11ding a11d tl1e far111ers ca111e running out for we had aroused the barnyard. The chickens began to cackle and tl1e roosters to crow and, all together, we created quite a stir. Wfe immediately assured tl1e far111er tl1at we were no thieves but tl1at we were stranded. You never ca11 guess wl1o the farmer was! Eln1er Kruidenier! Agnes a11d Kruidie l1ad moved out there after his graduation and now hels farming to his heart's content. Wfe had to spend several weeks there for it was tl1e South American rainy season. However, it was delightful. Vtfhen we left tl1ey 1'112lCl6 us promise to come agai11, so tl1e next time we go we'll co111e and take tl1en1 for a ride. This is all for now. This is a pro111pt answer to your ever welco111e letters. Do ye likewise. Best regards to all, YOUR FRIEND ELDA. za

The opening scenes revealed the time honored idea that there can be no true hero except the military hero. A scene on the batteheld where a dying soldier saw thru the glamour of war and expressed his change of heart in his last words, convinced the hero, Philip Gordon, of the utter futility of war and the necessity of bringing peace to misguided humanity. The Central thot of the play was expressed by Mr. Greart. Peace is a positive-a great constructive, conclusive, abiding force-an altitude of the soul-the soul of a person or the soul of a nation. The class of l9l5 is the first to present a play and much credit is due them for attempting a work of real force and meaning and in succeeding so well in their endeavor. The acting of all the characters was good but Gordon Qltmans as the hero and Olive Bertsch as the heroine particularly won the plaudits of the audience. To Miss Anthony, who had the entire charge of the play, praise of the highest sort must be given. It was only the result of her painstaking ettorts in drilling the play that made it the success it was. H ere's hoping that the class of '16 will present as successful a play as thc class of 'l5 has done and that they will have as efficient an instructor as Miss Anthony has been. 30
