Christine McClure, New York City. “Have recently signed a contract to design all posters for Ringling Bros. Circus.” She looked her part well in a smock, tie, and tarn. Hazal Love, Peewee Valley, Kentucky. “I have attained success at last. I am flutist wth the Pewee Valley Symphony, and we give weekly concerts at Lakeland and the Old Sol¬ diers 5 Home. 55 She is the same little person—a few pounds heavier.

Thelma Finger, Dublin, Ireland. “I am with you in spirit, but my work keeps me here.

T EAR old L. C. M. days of 1927. How vivid the mem- -L ' ories of all the scenes and faces that were so familiar then. Ten years would bring about a change, yes, and it has. As I remember it, there were only two phones in the dormitory. Push, scramble, yell, pell-mell, we usually suc¬ ceeded in answering a few calls. Ah, how plebian it all seems since we have our newest invention. Radios in those days were in the embryonic stage, but to-day they have taken the place of telephones. Instead of just being able to talk over them, one is able to see the person to whom he is talking. There is no longer a WHAS, because each radio has its own individual broadcasting device. WHAS . . Hum-hum. Wonder what response it would bring from the old class? Well, there’s one way of finding out,—I’ll tune in and see. “Station WHAS, Krausgill Piano Company Extension Studio, Louisville, Kentucky, April 1, 1937. The program this evening will be furnished by the Senior class of the Louisville Conservatory of Music.” (Faces appear from all parts of the globe.) Whew-—One at a time. I can’t remember half those faces they came so thick and fast. I’ll try a different scheme this time. “WHAS broadcasting. The next 45 minutes will be de¬ voted to receiving messages from the class of ’27. At the end of that time, they will all be read aloud.” (45 minutes later ) “WHAS speaking. I will proceed to repeat the messages and give the picture of each person who broadcasted.” Mary Agnes Starks, Daytona Beach, Florida. “Well and happy. Enjoying a good business diving after lost Thirty-eight jewels.” Mary Agnes was dressed in a red bathing suit and sent the message from Lew Cody’s yacht. Louisa Bumgardner, Little Rock, Arkansas. “Wish you’d give me more time. I have to give this old woman a turkish bath now. I hold the record for curing rheumatism.” Louisa looked very efficient in her white uniform. irginia Roach, Tunis, Algiers. “Am teaching dramatic art to the African natives, and am doing a great pioneer work.” She wore the native costume and was very brown from sunburn. The Misses Schanz and Barnes, Harlan, Kentucky. “En¬ joying life. Have established a beauty parlor, and are bring¬ ing joy to the hearts of many.” 1 hey were dressed in man¬ darin robes of purple and green. branees Wheeler, Wheeling, West Virginia. “Have made a fortune traveling as the midget drummer with Barnum and Bailey.” She looked very fetching in her suit of blue with its rows of brass buttons. She still hooks her hair over her ears. Sara Pace, Liberty, Missouri. “1 am directing a huge harmonica band. Will tour Europe next year.” She has adopted mannish dress and even carries a cane. Catherine Stum, Annapolis, Maryland. “Have estab¬ lished a home called ‘The Port of Missing Men,’ and 1 take care of all lost sailors.” Miss Stum looked extremely tall in her gray and white striped gown. Mary McArn, Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. “Doug and I send best wishes to everyone. We are sailing for the Canary Islands in May.” I hey are living in the manse adjoining the church and seem to be supremely happy. Minnie Selby, New York City. “Am starring in the hollies this year. My latest suit for alimony gave me much

Credits to 152,7 Seniors I7 ' E have been called the most congenial class in the history of L. C. M. With such congenaility how could we help but make progress? The Quarter Notes, our school publication with Mary Mil Hunt as editor, has become a rival of real magazines. An exchange department has been established with the out¬ standing Conservatories in the Association. We boast of the first four students to receive degrees in piano and one in organ. We have three seniors who are taking the special course in Art and expect to teach it. Our Valentine bridge party was a success both socially and financially. One of our prospective supervisors attended the Southern Conference for Supervisors. The whole class orchestrated “Alabama Lullaby.” Seniors graded the State Music Memory Contest papers in Frankfort. We have given numerous radio programs from the Krausgill Extension of WITAS. Pageantry class writes songs for State and National Parent Teachers Association. These are just a few of the marks we have tried to make.
