24 THECOMMENT Daisy Renaud does her shopping in a lNilillspaugh triple-six, which far surpasses the Packard twin-six of 1921. Junior hates to change, but it is always just as Daisy says, and, besides, Russel presented it to them for their trip around the world, as an advertisement.

Harley Poole, who is a floor-walker in lN'larshall-Fields, has secured positions for them as models there.

THE COMMENT 23 George Raber is Professor of Analytical Geometry at the University of California. He is known as the most capable teacher the Uni- versity has ever known, which is probably due to his early preparation in High School. Birdwell Sutlive is captain of a large ocean liner and his nautical ex- pressions which he developed in Miss Casey's lfnglish room are of great assistance to him. Alta Bradley is President of the Tuskogee College and her private secretary is Virginia Stewart. Fowler Phillips and Robert Pagett are both prosperous business men. Fowler is head of the overalls department at Irwin-Phillips. Carl Pilug is manager of the Nash factory, which has been advanc- ing and enlarging wonderfully under his management. Elmer Thon has become a great orator and his favorite subject is Where and How to Get lt Since july 1, 19207 Mary Louise Cochrane and Ruth Streeter are settlement workers in New York City fand have done much to better the conditions therej. Wilma Hancock and Irene VVilcox are the poets of the age. VVil- ma's Howery language won national fame for her, after all. James Galloway is at very competent lawyer and has never been known to lose a case. flt has been said that he has great opportunity for argumentation, which he practices on his adopted family of four- teen childrenj. Walter Hobbs is a senator from Illinois. They say it is surprising the way he has overcome his slow and bashful manners. fHe ob- tained an early start, though, from his frequent visits to the Pond Apartmentsl. Nlax Jones has been made head of the Steel Trust, in place of Gary, because of his hard and determined looks, which he practiced in the halls of the old Keokuk High School. Neil O'Brien's Nlinstrels have improved wonderfully, due to Earl Johnson's cleverness as end man. Raymond Kirchner, who was President of our class, still retains his title and is President of Stone 31 Webster. Virgil Keneff is head of the Agricultural Department at Ames. He believes in a time for work and a time for play-especially the latter. Irvin Lamb is President of the National Bank of New York City. He seems to have no interest in his wife and children-all his thoughts are at the bank. Nellie Elster and Ruby Brown are his expert ac- countants.

Kathryn Dimond is manager of the Dimond Nlilling Company, but it is expected she will soon transfer her management to the Landman household. Evelyn Hatter has become editor of the f'Dial Nlagazinef' and it is surprising to note how the number of subscribers increased, in spite of the fact that Evelyn's attention is divided- Athletics vs. Cement. 77 Bernice Greenslaugh has opened a beauty parlor, and has done Wonders with the people of Keokuk. Elizabeth Loefller is head dramatic critic of the International Film Company of America. Carroll is the only one who escapes her criti- cism.

A Albert's stenographer is Frances lfolker, and she is of wonderful assistance to him.

This splendid record of my classmates is very gratifying, and it is with the most pleasant memories that I resumed my travels. FAME BELL.
