3nly Romance in the class of ’18. Serge White is at last a noted physician and the work he was doing in France has 3een praised by all nations. Fayona Nutter is teaching the first grade at the Leipsic Public School. Fred Rayle is suc-ccisor to Mr. Sheppard as instructor of Science atX. H. S. Helen and I remarked that we would like to visit his class to see if he could keep better order than Mr. Sheppard. Bob Edwards is now at Yale and is a noted athelete. Gladys said his ribbons and medals were on exhibition at Hoffman’s Drug Store, which is now managed by our “once timid’’ Charley. Charley had been in France, during the “World War’’ and the number of German planes brought down by him was remarkable. Rosamond Bushong is now married. Of course we always expected that as Rosamond wore a diamond ring even before she left Leipsic High School. Margaret Miller is instructor of Music at the Ohio University but from all reports she is about o resign and Earl Veitch is to be the “Happy Man.’’ You know Margaret always was more or less of a heartbreaker, but she had at last acknowledged Earl’s love for her. Ray Dukes is chief manager of the B. 0. Railroad and has his head office at Toledo. Don Cruikshank is a noted musician and leader of the largest band in America. Isabelle Perry and Florence Stout were Red Cross nurses during the war and are now serving under Dr. White in France. Dee White now occupies a chair in the House of Representatives at Washington, representing his own state of course, and Robert Sheely is he leading cartoonist for the New York Tribune, but that’s not surprising as Robert did good work for our annual. LaRoy Zehrbach is E'ditor-in-Chief of “The Trading Post, which is now a good magazine of the first class, due of course to LaRoy’s good management and to his knowledge of business. Clayton Farnsworth is popular as a literary man. The publishers could not print his works fast enogh so great was the demand. Edith Leinsetter is teaching Domestic Science at Oberlin College. Francis Ward, who had served in the National Army in France during the World War, is now a successful farmer and last but not least is Clarence Diemer who is now Chief of the Toledo Police Force. This is the last of our class of ’18. And as I left Helen I was glad that I had seen her and that I had found out about my old class mates. I was very proud to know that I was a member of that class, every one of which had proven that their instructions at the Leipsic High School were not in vain. I. W.

CLASS PROPHECY It was in August, the year of 1928 when I, traveling from Detroit to Philadelphia, found myself at Cleveland, Ohio, and with no chances of leaving that place until the next day, as I had missed my train. Time hung heavily on my hands and I decided to go to a theatre. I was undecided which one to attend when my eye caught the sign : “Kate Schomaker Stock Company.’ The name sounded familiar, but yet I could’nt place it—but I at once decided to go to that theatre. Upon looking about I saw that it was “The Hippodrone” the largest playhouse in the city. I entered and after a time secured a seat near the front. The show' began and imagine my surprise when I recognized my old class mate, Helen Schomaker, as the leading lady. Why I was more surprised than I can tell as ‘Kate’ always said she was going to be a Domestic Science teacher. I lost all interest in the play and I don’t believe I could now tell one thing about it—I was wondering how I could manage to see Kate and to renew our old time friendship. I found myself thinking of my other classmates and of the good times we used to have at Leipsic High School. At the end of the second act I decided upon a plan—Iwrote Helen a note asking when I might see her, and sent it with one of the ushers, and was very glad when he returned, saying that Miss Schomaker would see me in her dressing room immediately after the show. When the show was over, I went at once to the stage entrance. Others seemed to be having trouble to get in but I was admitted at once. Helen seemed overjoyed at seeing me and I was even more so at seeing her. We talked and talked and talked. I can’t say that Helen had changed much but since she had become such a successful actress, she seemed just a little different than when I knew her. I asked her if she had been at Leipsic recently. She had not, but she was well posted on the local news, as she corresponded regularly with Gladys Henry, another one of our class of ’18. Gladys is now teaching Latin at old L. H. S. and she is also secretary of the Leipsic Alumni Association. Gladys had at Helen’s request sent an account of the one’s belong- ing to our class of ’18. Of course as I was interested to know about each one Helen gave me the information, which she received from Gladys and it was something like this. Florence Franklin had gone to College and taken a complete course in music and elocution and is now traveling with a Chautauqua. This was not surprising as Florence was always musical and was a good talker. Earl Harmon who went away to war dnring our Senior year, is now Physical Director of a Y. M. C. A. at Chicago, Illinois. Dora Potts and Melvin Cook were married and are living on a large experiment farm north of Leipsic. This is interesting as it was the
