JUNIOR YEAR BOOK. We were succeeding finely, and although we had no idea of where to go next, we thought we’d sail somewhere. So we started out, and just as we had gotten well into the country, one ot the screws of the mechanism of the ma¬ chine refused to work, and we rapidly descended and alighted right at the door of another’o8’s especially brilliant pupils. This was Francis Halpin,who is now a prosperous farmer’s wife, living near St. George. She told us that she had that day received a letter from Mattie Stetson who lived in Cody, Wyoming. And that Mattie could write of nothing but the beauties of the place and Him. “Minnie Wilmot is still Minnie Wilmot simp¬ ly because she can’t decide which one to take,” Frances added, We remained for dinner, but immediately afterwards we set sail for Indiana. Over one town the smoke hung in such huge clouds that we thought about half the town must be on fire. We descended and found, however, it was only the smoke from “Hayden’s Lamp Chimney Factory,” and that the town was Alex¬ andria. As we always had been curious concerning this far famed place, we stopped to explore. While here Bessie received a letter from Meryl Boyd, who having finished her studies, asked for a place in the quartet of the Concert Company of which Bessie was a member. Of course Bessie said she would see that she received her position, as it would be so nice to have her one of that “merrie companie.’’ Why, we had finished our tasks! All members of the class were accounted for. And we sailed home, exchanging reminiscences of the dear, dead days, of our High School life, and marvelling at the success of each member of the wonderful Class of ’08.
