JUNIE 7-Today I left for Washington. On the train I picked up the New York Sun. I had to look several times to believe my own eyes. because Paul Mundy was the editor and Willie Ramsey was sports editor. On the sports page I saw in big headlines, Cecil Sigmon Plays Wonderful Game Iior Army. I bet he still smiles when he gets tackled. On the society page I saw an account of a big reception. given in honor of New Yorks governor. The hostess was Shasta Abernethy. Shasta is a society leader now. I was startled by the announce- ment of the marriage of Bonnie Crooks to a New York lawyer. When I got to Washington today I went to a hotel and rested for about an hour. Then I went down to the hotel beauty parlor. Dorothy Stroup was the owner. Here Hattie I.ee Costner. who is a partner with Dorothy. gave me a new permanent. the best one I have ever had. I'm glad chance led me here. for they told me that Lucile Hester had studied abroad and had become a famous poetess. They also told me that Kathleen Campbell remains a school teacher in Lincolnton, N. C. Sallie Brown Clark lives here in Vkfashington. the wife of a famous lawyer. After I got my permanent I called Sallie Brown. She invited me to her house to spend some time with her, Tonight. being Saturday, we went to town. as we used to do in I.incolnton. Ralph Cashion and Iiloyd Duncan own a very chic Iirench shoe store, I had not planned to buy any shoes. but when I learned this I just had to. The fiftieth surprise was a large grocery store owned by Charlie Baker. VJhen we got home tonight Sara Padgett was there to greet us. She entertained us with stories of her life as society editor for a large newspaper. The door bell rang and in walked Barbara Hinson and Dorothy Perkins, Geel it looked as if we were going to have a party. Barbara has won international fame as a pianist. Dorothy is a very successful journalist in Vyfashington. I had to pinch myself to know that I was not dreaming. JUNK 8-We slept late this morning. At eleven o'clock we went to church 'and what a sermonf NVilson Cauble was the preacher.-he surely has changed, Iirom him we learned that Louise Ciaston is now dean at Greensboro College and that XVilvie Ifwing is a matron at an orphanage. When we came home I happened to pick up a toy monkey sitting on a table. I looked on the bottom and there in distinct letters I read. Made by Hall Sullivan Co. Sallie Brown told me he is becoming quite wealthy. Tonight we sat on the front porch and talked over our school days. Sallie Brown asked me if I remembered Sue Lockman. Of course I did. Well. she told me that Sue is a model in a New York fashion show. J. W. Kiser is the owner of a large circus. and Hoke Heavner is his partner. I surely would like to see this show. Harry Mullen owns a ranch in Texas and his neighbor. Hunter Rudisill owns one also. These boys must be lost away out there. Helen Murphy teaches school in the mountains and is loved by all her pupils and I don't blame them. Iilorene Bynum and Virginia Bynum own a chain of Bynum Iiive and Ten Cent Stores over the state of North Carolina. Mary Robinson isa lawyer in Washington. I surely could have listened to this all night, but one must sleep. JUNIE 0-I have heard lots of news today, so pay special attention. I saw in the paper this morning that Martha Haynes has taken her class of girls to Canada to enter the ice skating contests in November. Martha's girls have won many trophies. I also heard today that Virginia Clark is making a trip around the world in an Austin. If she succeeds she will receive a large sum of money.

JUNL IO--I'm back in Philadelphia now. When I came back to my office today I read a joke book that some one had put on my desk. It was written by Pearl Stowe. That was just like her-always saying something funny. There was also a letter from a farm implement company for me to answer. The president was Clyde Abernethy and Vice-President I'rank Houser. When I read the paper I saw where Blanche Wise was married in England to a prince. Well. what a wonderful vacationf I've heard from every one of my old school-mates. I think I'd like another one just like it, XVonder what the boss would say to such a request? IVIARCHARIQT BREVARD. Class Prophet. Page Twenty-.st'.x'
