'NX f Q51 -U.- 1' V' ' 19 yrfaf 26 Logan. Also during the week Rebecca Cook, expressionalist and musician was to appear. And then who shouild walk in but a group of nurses, namely iXIamie Rohrer. Alice lviusselman and lVIae lNIcVey, off for a dayls rest. They all began to talk of the class of IQZ6 and P. H. S. so I lea1'11ed that Helen Tanner was an instructor at the North VVestern Collegeg that Alfred Boys was the owner of the largest newspaper in the U. S.g that Victoria C1'um is a dean in an Ohio collegeg that Ruby Hisey is running a chain of Beauty parlors in Columbus Cityg that hIargaret Hurford and her husband were making a fortune on a large dairy farm in Illinois and that Ina Johnson was operating a large ranch in VVyoming and had every good looking cow-boy in the west at her serviceg and that INIrs. Yarrell Girten, formerly Ruth Steele, is back from her trip to Ifurope. VVell, I didn't leave that day-but the next Qmer Bixel and his famous XVorld's Champion Basket Ball Team stopped in. and I was handed to him as change. Omer toild his crew that he was going back to Plymouth to see his brother Harold, now mayor. So after a few days' travel I landed in Plymouth. Omer went into the Columbia Candy Kitchen now owned by Vincent Fisher, and left me there in payment for his soda. lN'Iany days later as I lay in the cash drawer I heard Vincent reading aloud an account in a oBston newspaper how IXIiss Yerda Garl of that city, formerly of Plymouth, had been elected National Sec- retary of the Y. YV. C. A.g also about lXIr. Albert Anderson, famous boxer, de- feating Jack Dempsey in a boxing feteg and of Bertha Per1'y's latest novel just off the press. That same day I heard hIiss Edna Beatty tell that she was teaching a class in Etiquette and fancy dancing at the High School. The next week I was handed to a little boy and was soon again on the street. The boy stopped on the street corner where a young Salvation Army man was preaching and singing. The boy dropped me in the hat as it was passed and instantly I recog- nized the young man Ernest IlIathia. For weeks I passed about from hand to hand until one day I found myself in Henry Grossman's hands. Henry was a salesman for Ford cars and that very day was driving through South Bend in one of them at about 20 miles per hour when he smashed into a hearse. Both drivers crawled out and there stood Art Thomas. Art said he was a South Bend undertaker now and that he liked the work only that it was a dead job. VVhile they were standing in the middle of the street talking, George Kennedy, in a cop's suit, walked up and invited them to go on. Some how that same week I found my- self in Pauline Falconbury's purse. Pauline was now a politician. Forthwith she took me to hIary Lidgard's dress shop and bought a new dress. I do not know what happened for months. But one day I found myself back in Chicago. This time I went to a very wealthy home. Frances Knepper was in this home serving as private teacher to the children. Very soon I became aware that there was a very hen-peeked husband some where in the house. I had no idea who he was until one day as I was about to be carried out of the house I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and recog- nized Eldon Babcock. Eldon sat musing aloud and from his soliloquy I learned that Eldon had been married five times and this trial has p1'oved no better than the others. That he was absolutely broken hearted and the only joy he got out of life was serving in his capacity as janitor in a great business building where he met and flirted with all the pretty clerks and stenographers. Incidentally I learned that his favorite stenographer was employed by lXIiss Florence Tomlinson, the president of the Chicago Telephone Company. XVell after passing through all this ex- perience you see I am now an old batter- ed and worn off coin. I have been sent back to VVashington to be put in a hot- hot fire and melted to nothing. But be- fore I go to meet my doom I'll say good- bye to one and all.

1. C fl al IV ' rw' HE Class of l27, accepting the name Juniors, stop- ped at junior Station P. H. S. and made it known by appearing in the various school activities. Four men were numbered among the first ten Red Jackets, still others appeared in football, baseball, and track. Two boys and two girls sang in the quartettes. Juniors also proved to be good orators and debators. The Class of '27 is great for entertaining. Recall those lively VVednesday morning stunts and the talent displayed in HThe Limpetu. It was Juniors who were responsible for a lot of laughs in the high school play, 'lsecond Childhood . Those who entered in nothing else went out for de- tentions and received their red letters as due reward. Yes, we were out for everything-this jolly good Class of ,27. 31
