up THE TATLEQR g 1 Gllazzs rnphrrg It was a cold and rainy night. Bridget, whom I had asked to build a fire in the fireplace, came in with an armful of old papers and maga- zines. As she was placing them on the hearth, I noticed my year-book. 'tWhy, Bridget, that's my Year-book, my youth! You must 11ever burn that. Having lighted the fire, she handed me the book and, smiling be- nignantly at the fussiness of an old maid, she left the room. As the fire grew warmer, fingering the Year-book, I let my mind wander forth to meet the classmates who twenty-five years ago made up that class of 1928. There was Beulah Hess, who was class president. She has just received her final degree in her divorce from Henry VVard Taylor. Merrill Badger, the class sheik, is spending his bachelor-by-choice days in the midst of good looking girls. I read in the paper yesterday that Bill Yolton was running for President on the .Democratic ticket. Ill the 'tMutt and Jeff funny, of the same paper, I was startled to see portrayed my old friends, Charles Cuyett and Joseph Cosenza, respectively. Gladys MacFarlane, who, having dyed her flame colored hair black, has gone into the movies, wrote to me that Elenita Prairie had retired to a convent and was leading a quiet life after a wild youth. She also wrote that Ruby Stata had to take in washings to support her musical husband. Lois Kirkey has had to take up a course in cooking, for Hubby is so particular now as to what he eats. I was lucky last week to be able to hear over the radio Carol Loan, who is now singing in the Metropolitan in New York, and Helen Sher- wood who is Speaker of the House of Representatives, the first woman to hold such a position. But then, we were always noted for our orig- inality both at home and abroad. Albert Alden is engaged in his favorite occupation, farming, and at the same time he is learning tl1e mysteries of the Congregational Church from his wife, the former Dorothy Tryon. His sister Claire is one of the Trippanys now. Harold Cline is also in the farming business. He is running an old homestead farm with Hazel as his buxom helpmate. From our class, into law went Paul Lamendola. He specializes in divorce cases, which go well with his romantic nature. Cfiontinued on page forty-sim Twenty-two
