I. Raymond Croft and Byron Neithercoat have become marvels in a way. Byron one day in his garage had a call for 'Spark-plug Oil'. The name was new to him and he pondered over it for a long time. Finally he sought out his old pal Raymond, and the twio of them soon placed before the world the new oil in a new kind of paper bag that Raymond invented. I have used it and find it most satisfactoryfl explained practical Mr. Park. Sara Bryson and 'Graciousl are teaching in Mars this year, Mr. C. A. put in, I now know a little French and I can enjoy their classes. But of course I have never anything to say to them. It it not my way. Mr. Shumaker was very silentg he seemed to be deeply thinking. Do you ever memorize a thing and when you want to tell it forget it? I read a joke before 1 '- 4. I started out here and now to save me I can't tell it. Anyhow it was about an 7 sf, elephant. It was by Cashdollar, the 'joke editor,' of the Mars daily paper. I-Ie tqs certainly gets some good ones. , Pauline and Bill Dickson have quite a cute business and they are making good. Of course they are not working together. It Wouldn't pay. They have started a de- partment'of excuses. It works fine in the schools. You just pay a certain sum and they give you an excuse that will convince anybody. Bill has made a specialty of cutting lessons short for the pupils so that the teacher wlill never guess, sighed Miss ' Blose. They gave me enough in school. Dutch, in order to get strong enough to join the Strong Man's Club of Robert Burns School has been delivering ice for several years. Betwieen times, he gives lessons in English in the little school near his home. I am very proud of his talent, vouched Bob Cumming. i Don't mention talent, Bob, 'until you have something to be proud of, as i ! have. Edna and Flo Wise are touring France in their new Star. They are going around teaching the modernized French to the peasantsf' reproved Betsy. Ruth is doing some good in this world, Mrs. Hudson mentioned in her sweet voice. She has a class of young pupils to whom she gives piano lessons. She is so patient as she counts with the dear little Cherubs. HI am always glad when I hear that some one is able to'fultill his aim in life. Mart and Sara Galer always wanted to be instructors in exercise, and now: they hold prominent positions in Bronx Zoo, New York, giving the monkeys exercise daily. The work is not hard, and they say it is most interesting to watch the monkeys imitate them, chimed in Miss Fleming. I-Iulda and Margaret have attained the height that they set for themselves. fl I-Iulda always said that she could punish a small wpupil without laughing. Now she J, is the best teacher in discipline, and Margaret is the school nurse, always on the job l I to doctor the results of Hulda's.punishment. i 'AWilbur Kennedy has remained faithful to the school. I-Ie is coaching the Senior Basketball Team. VVillard Glasgow also stays at school, to use the reterencebooks in Writing a history that will interest people., I have kept track of all the squad, acknowlledged 'I-Iam'.', 'Hoot' is a heart specialist, and 'Dina' is preparing to go ' I into the undertaking business by going arou.nd with a sad face. I-Ie has become very i Q - quiet. 'il f Miss Davidson who had become restless, not being able to break in with her , 'say,' now demanded, Is it my turn? The latest I have heard from 'Peck' Groom .1 and Fern is that they have opened a sanitarium for good looking young men. II guess they Wionftt remain 'old maids' long. ,,,3' Mary Kidd hasf grown out of the kid class and is now a model in one of the Mars Chain Stores. Mary Harbison gives violin lessons, and lVIary Knaell has a if store where she teaches the Canaries how to whistle 'Yankee Doodle' and other classical airs. Shelstill has her beautiful voice. And, Miss Blose added, I knew' they would sf, s ake ood. I ,. T-Iaving had much experience wiith Fords, while at schp l, Florence Loerch is V, 3 , ow a de onstrator at good wages.

THE PRGPHEICY One day in Florida, the weather was exceptionally line, the sun shown down upon the drowsy populace, the breeze wafted the sweet scent of many tropical fruits and dainty flowers, while the birds caroledi ceaselessly. A group of tourists sat huddled close together, wrapped in as many fur garments as their stock would allowl. Their conversation lagged, it was too coldg the gentle breeze froze their tender nosesg for you see these happy people were in the temperate, balmy climate of Alaskal Are you interested? Well, now listen. These people of the scholarly aspect were the teachers that dogged your foot-steps in your four, sad years in lVIars High. At last they were suffering for the many cruel things they inflicted upon you, when you were under their power. May the 'immortal gods be wtith them' before they depart from this land of sunshine. You remember them well as-Miss Pew, lVIiss Ohlc, Miss Davidson, Miss Cumming, lVIiss Jackson, lVIiss Schrnucker, lldiss lValder, lVIiss Blose, lVIiss Fleming, Miss Hespenheide, Mrs. Hudson, Mr, Hudson, lVIr. Park, Mi'. Harding, lVIr. lee, Nlr. Shumaker, and Mr. C. A. Conley. This was the annual convention of the teachers, coming at our 'dear old pro- fcssor's invitationf Each year this was held in a different state, to enable them to tour the world. The heat becoming beyond the'power of endurance, the crowd adjourned to the parlor of the hotel, to discuss the old business of the organization-namely, the affairs of the pupils that used to attend Mars Hi. May she alwlays bel lVIiss Jackson could keep still no longer. Did you know that Flora took the first prize at the annual baking contest, held by Clarion at the Downieville School of 'Past Arts'? Flora had some lovely dishes prepared. The one I liked best was stuffed eggs on toast. And 'Betsy' patted her stomach in remembrance. The way you eat lately tells me that 'Doctor ,lack Brown is going to have a steady patient before long, sniffed 'Bob' disdainfully. I have lost at least twenty pounds in the last five years, chimed in llflartha Schmucker, by not eating frog legs and by taking daily the 'Anti-Fat Sure Cure' that Anna Berry is selling all over the wlorld. If you get any stouter 'Betsy' I will lend'you some. lVIiss Jackson sniffed, Cshe had a coldj, Never mind lVIartha, you don't know too much. . You wiomenl always fighting. In our home town We have a policeman who will not allow the women to fight. He says it spoils his good nature to hear them. You all know that Bowser was always happy. He-H And he had a way with women, too, cut in lVIr. lee, upon lVIr. Harding's speech. No wonder he's successful as the cop who keeps the Ladies' Aid intactf' lVIiss Schmucker, I bet you could not refuse to buy candy if Nickl' tried to l sell you some. He had a good line at school but you ought to hear it now. He used 2 to try to bluff me frequently, volunteered Miss Ohle. l He can not be any better than 'Grinnyf He sure is some soda fountain clerk. All the girls gol to Charles Hays' drugstore just to see Ralph. He sure knows his 'onions', said loyal old 'Ham'. 'Grinny' is still shy but the girls don't caref, S lsn't his drugstore under the room were Zetta and Raymond Davidson have! , their dancing school, 'I-Iam'? questioned tiny Miss Hespenhcide. I heard thatl l Esther McCandless has gone into partnership with them lately. She had an act withf a dancing bear, that she had trained herself, at the Gallery Art Exhibition. 'It was at wonder to see that bea' do the 'Black Topnot', perfectly fine. ' Q . gl- I l il i Daft ' l l , c l C' AJ. Twmm-y-0Nn -S, g R Q 1 A ' 5 A , lil if mmf 4 jg if SX D f kg 'fi ii' C

Charles and George have set up a clean business, washing cars, and windows and if need beg floors. I am so glad, said Miss Blose. l'Eleanor is trying hard to live up to the name of Wise. So far she is doing good. immie and Arthur are 'oint butchers. They have quite cut the local fellow out, but c 0 J a n boy, their steak is tough. My wife has a hard time when she cooks my meal, and Ham sighed wistfully. H ' T l went through Kermit's Condensed Milk Factory, and he has a sub-partner in Howard Taylor, who is the best glass blower in all the world. He surely has strong lungs. With 'Sally' Thompson as private secretary, the business just sails along. Miss Pew always did like these things. Wilma Scott is the guide that shows all the strangers around Bakerstown. There are many points of interest in this great city. She talks all the time she is showing , vi, , X, the things. V' 'i'?5l'j.,. 'Ginny' is quite an experienced author by now. She turns out about ten stories 912 57. a day. Sarah lfValters is her secretary and all 'Ginnyl does is dictate. These girls , ' were usually good in English, 'Bob' crowed with pride. ' Avonnell has a nice position. She is so fond of basketball that she has taken a ' job of knitting baskets for the ame. She has stuck to a true ur ose and all the Q g D P . teachers sm1led-because- There was a knock at the door. A trim maid was there, Dinner will be served. These words were most welcome. And we will leave the teachers in their favorite occupation-eating.
