during the World War. She also told me that Myrle Robertson had be- come a Prima Donna in Paris. After having rested for a few days, I again set forth on my journey to San Francisco. Here I met Ferdinand Gorsche who was Profsesor of Music at the University of California. He wa-s busily practicing with the Young Men's'Glee Club as they were to tour the U. S. and give con- certs in St. Paul, Chicago, New York and several other large cities. Leaving this city, I flew to Minneapolis. Here I learned that William Marin was editor of the Minneapolis Tribune. Bill was a debater and had shown great literary talent while in High School. He informed me that Myrtle Paslsenheim was a playground director in this city. She had always liked gymnastics and it had been her greatest desire to become a physical training teacher. I left this city at two o'clock in the aftern-oon, flying directly to Chicago. Signe Carlson had accepted a position as head of the shorthand depart- ment ofthe Gregg School in this city. She had won the world's cham- pionship in shorthand and had achieved great honor in this work. As I was about to leave, I learned that 'Ilhelma Bretz was a teacher of Domestic Science in a Chicago High School. Thelma had especially wished that when she died, there would be no one else to blame for her death but herself. Thelma informed me that Bonnie Camron had erected an orphanage in that city for the poor helpless children of Armenia who had come to this country in great numbers. She told me that Inez Cota a.nd Adele Cooper were still roaming around the world looking for husbands. Having spent one day here I set forth for Milwaukee. Just as I had landed near a country road, I saw a Ford coming down at a high rate of speed. As it came closer I recognized the driver to be Earl Seller He stopped his car and invited me to ride. I asked at once what he was doing n-ow. He said that nothing could ever interest him more than the rattle of the Ford car. I-Ie had accepted th eagency for that automobile company and was doing a liourishing business with Fords selling at 3550. As we drove toward town, I saw many interesting scenes but the most interesting was that of Harry Olson, undertaker, sitting on a coilin in front of a house. Upon inquiry I learned that there was a Sick man in the house and Harry was waiting for him to die. Several years later I re- ceived information that the patient had recovered, which greatly dis- appointed Harry. In town, I met Paul Gero the great scientist. He was Professor of Science in the University of Wisconsin and was working hard trying to discover a new rat exterminator. Having fourfl all my classmates, I decided to return to Manistiqu-e. l felt satisfied to know that each one had reached his goal and was perform- ing his duty successfully in this great High School of Life. -Elsa Larson.
