KINSTON HIGH SCHOOL THE KAYAITCHESS NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR this point in our conversation, a man was seen rapidly approaching, rolHng a baby carriage. He stopped at some distance and beckoned to EHse. Oh, EHse! I burst out, is that your husband and baby? Why hadn ' t you told me Ix-forc? Well, said Elise grinning sheepishly, that kid is mine from 7:00 a. m. until 9:00 p. m . I am his nursemaid and the man is my employer. I have just had dinner-hour off and must now return to work. I hope I see you again before long. Good-bye. With these words, she left me tmd I was left to ponder over the lates of my dear school chums, members of the Ijest class in all the world — that of ' 24. — Prophet. Thirty-Five

KINSTON HIGH SCHOOL THE KAYAITCHESS NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR fired the other day because Mr. Adler said that she was abusing him with Latin words. Sadie Stadiem took her place. Sadie is a good bluffer, and so she fits right in. Hilda Adler returned from college and went to work in the hotel at Ayden. Hilda was always crazy about Ayden, and so I ' m not surprised. I almost forgot to tell you about Thelma Wooten, Elise said. She used to be a pretty girl, but you should see her now. She looks ten years older than she really is. Fate dealt hard with her when it caused her to marry a poor farmer. After the death of her husband. Ruby Mcwborne, the famous millionairess, played the fairy godmother to her and Thelma is now living with Ruby. Thomas Hewitt is their devoted butler. I heard he had formed an at- tachment for one of their maids, who is none other than Ethel Taylor. Ethel doesn ' t seem to regard him very seriously, though. And the aristrocratic Edward Lee ? Edward holds the lowly position of street-sweeper. Edward Lee a street-sweeper? Surely. Edward speculated and lost all his money. I hope no such sorry fate has overtaken Wilbur Stroud and Leonard Williams, I said. No, replied Elise, Wilbur is Governor of North Carolina, and Leonard is a street-car conductor. That ' s not so bad. But what has become of Nina Ruth Rouse, Neta Mae Stroud and Mab Stroud? I asked. Why, here lies the greatest wonder in the whole class. Nina Ruth Rouse is candidate for Congress in the next election. Neta Mae Stroud is renowned for her vamping qualities. She has taken the place of Pola Negri and Nita Naldi in the movies. Mab Stroud is a book-keeper. All she has to do is copy arithmetic from one paper to the other. Mab always was a good hand at copy- ing. Louise Stanford is the society lady of the class. She is very popular. Mary Faulkner is a telephone operator. When did you see Nancy Hinson? Has her hair lost any of its red color? I asked. Not one bit, was Elise ' s reply. I saw her the other day, and she was very blue. She is a Horsford ' s Baking Powder agent. So many children had shut the door in her face, saying that their mothers said they were out, that she was quite discouraged. I asked her if she knew what had become of AHce Jennette and Lillian Savage. She said that Alice was over in Africa hunting big game, and that Lillian is a great authoress and has written many fa- mous books. Frances Pollock is a director of big stage play, and Zuliene Johns- ton is a great success as an interior decorator, due to her course in House Furnishing, under Miss Tolbert. Elise, I said, all this time I have been so busy asking you about other classmates and you have been so busy telling me, that you haven ' t told me what you have been doing. I waited for her to answer quite a while before she did so. She then told me that she had been collecting old furniture and had quite a collection. At Thirty-Four
