Mr. J. P. Snider. Memphis University School. Dear Mr. Snider: Memphis, i enn. June 1, 1040. FI: Y months ago. while I was working on a tramp steamer, from Sin- gapore to San Francisco, I saw Roy W ' en .ler, an old schoolmate of mine. This occurred in one of the South Sea Islands. Roy was swim- ming instructor for all those pretty maids down there. This started me to thinking and wondering what had become of all my fel- low classmates of ' 20. On arriving in San Francisco I met Robert York, another of my classmates, who was now Editor-in-chief of The New York Times. I le promised to find out this information for me through his reporters. He found that .Malcolm Smith was now in the heart of Africa hunting the Angouficasza with a bow and arrow. He is writing a history of this almost extinct an ' mal. Smitty has given all press rights to The New York Times. A story in the paper a few days ago told about an inventor who had started to Mars in an aeroplane of his own making and had not been heard i ' rom since. This inventor was none other than our old aeroplane builder. Bill Fleming. Wilson Raney is now a world famous wireless operator on the great steam- ship Leviathan. Kill Kirby after many setbacks has finally won to the top of his profes- sion. He is now the world ' s heavyweight champion and weighs one hundred ninety-eight. Not many days ago a new record was hung up by Burnett. He is electrocu- tioner at San Ouentm and has electrocuted his first millionth. On looking up the statistics of this unique record we find that the man w horn he electrocuted, was no one eLe besides W. O. Webb. This hardened criminal has been constantly chased by the police of three continents until he was finally brought to justice. Fred Hooper started out as a dentist in a small town but after much pain he finally gave this up and wended his way to Hollywood where he became a movie star. I lis next picture will be Lover ' s Paradise. co-starring Nancy Carrol Barker, who had a fairly good sized collection of stamps when he started in our school, increased his collection during the last year considerably and since gra uating he has gathered together more than ever. He started counting the stamps over seven years ago and hasn ' t finished yet. Aaron Brenner is now in the Legislature debating that co-education is benefi- cial to the modern school. I am going to forward .Mr. Wright a copy of these facts as I know he will appre- ciate them. Sincerely yours, T. W. Meriwether. Page Twenty

Junior Class This year ' s Junior Class, which is the seventh form at M. U. S., or the third year in high school, is one of the best classes. Most of next year ' s football, base- ball, and other teams will be picked from this class. Aside from having many good athletes, this class has some of the most brilliant students in school. We know that this class will make a Senior Class that M. U. S. will be proud of. We give them our best wishes for success. C.
