State College about 1933—a dark- haired young woman was seated at a desk, intently gazing at a solitaire on her left hand. Then she spoke aloud; I or the last time I have played the role of Professor of Latin and Oh! I wonder if I will be as contented, and as successful a homemaker as I have been an instructor?” The speaker was none other than Zita Meister. A gentleman entered the room and looking toward him she exclaimed: “Well—of all people! Don Peglow—my word! where did you come from? 1 haven’t seen nor heard of you for years. Tell me all about the old “gang” and what are you doing—especially in this place?” “You can talk as fast as ever—can’t you, Zct?

We’ll determine what the members of the class of ’22 arc doing—let’s sec; you just put your hand on this, look into the mirrors and concentrate. Is that right, Don? We’ll begin with Art Neutzman. “Oh, a hospital. What’s that on the name plate? ‘Neutzman Hospital.’ Who’s standing in the corridor—Mabel Tyrrell and Evelyn Earll, nurses.

A choir leader—it’s Annie Collins. There’s Dick Mercer, too, a guide in Westminster Abbey. “What success has Warner R., the president of our class, achieved? Recall his caustic wit? Books; oh he has written books, just stacks of them, and has gone on a long tour for the purpose of collecting new material. “Palmistry—Laura Winner—now who’d ever thought back in ’22 she possessed the ability to read the past, present and future? “There is Ruth Briggs—instructing a class of young girls.

The Ei.-Pe Annual 1922 “Ethyle Moore and Kitty Proud arc operating a variety store at Westvillc and having a flourishing business. There is the president’s office of Harvard and Newell Long, the president, dic- tating letters to Ethel Hutton, his private secretary. I wonder what Harold Kale is doing.' I s pose he has settled down in some small town after a heart-smashing career. Why! Hon’ he’s manufacturing a stunning new make of automobile. You know we always did associate H.C.K. with automobiles, but whod ever thought he d be in the manufacturing business! “Don, of course you have learned that Orville Iffland is to be one of the repre- sentatives of the U. S. at the Olympic games this next year. Look, there he is now in training. An invention is not required to tell us what Irving Blackwcldcr and Isamu Gilmore arc doing; we know that they are supervising the construction of a bridge across the Atlantic.
