Memphis ' , 1 enn. Mr. H. G. Ford, May 31, 1948. Memphis University School. Dear Mr. Ford: At last 1 have found the kind of work that I really enjoy and I have discovered that my business ability would be completely lost in a newspaper job. 1 have become a traveling salesman for a large beauty products con- cern, and 1 am delighted to tell you that 1 have made a great success of selling rouge, powder, and lipsticks. While on my numerous business trips 1 have come in contact with many of my old graduating class of 1 92 7-2 8. One of my best customers is Albert Erskine. You remember him of course, that handsome blond boy who always wore such marvelous knickers. He owns a barber shop down in Texas, and though he still looks as though he combed his own hair with a brick, he sure gives some classy hair cuts to the cowboys. When 1 was in New York last spring I saw Dabney Crump. He is still crazy about chickens, but now they are in the follies, not the feathered bird. And that reminds me that Carlisle Page is the leading man in all of Greta Garbo ' s pictures. He has such fire, such magnetism, such personality, she told me. His complexion is perfectly marvelous for he takes the greatest care of it by using our own specially prepared beauty clay. Edgar Dettwiler is the finest song and dance man on Broadway. He has his name in electric lights three feet high, Edgar Dettwiler, and his six- teen cuties, it says. 1 met Admiral John Grider in Washington. He uses our delightfully scented shaving soap, and he looks swell in his gold braid and brass buttons. Alfred Campbell is also in Washington working in the treasury department counting thousands of nice shiny dollars, but at night is when Alfred really shines at those big balls with all those pretty Washington women. James Harrison and David Roach have a smart studio in Greenwich Village. Harrison ' s pictures of cows are noted for their contented look all over the world, and he has become very famous. David is a splendid violinist. His beautiful hair has captured many a woman ' s heart. Halbert Scott and John Martin are flying those big trans-oceanic planes. Scott made a record parachute jump and got twelve tin medals and twenty kisses from French generals. John Martin only recently flew to the North Pole and got both of his ears frozen. They always were large. John Myers has made more money than all the rest of the graduating class put together. He is the biggest bootlegger in New York. McAuley helps him bottle the stuff, and together they have filled three graveyards and put hundreds of struggling doctors into Fifth Avenue mansions. In fact, all of my old class have made names for themselves except two whom I thought would be great successes. As my train was passing through Missouri I saw two dirty tramps eating slum gullion from a tin can. Who do you think they were? John Crump, whose father put the T in Tammany, and that once irresistible lady killer, Millard Bailey. Sincerely, BOYDEN UNDERWOOD. Page Thirteen
