But poor John Flikkema. He's out of his mind now. He got into the habit of carrying candy down to M. H. S. in 1916, and never got over it. He still makes trips down there every noon with a sack of chocolates for the youngsters. I always knew his generosity would lead him to destruction. Well, that certainly is sad. How's Gertrude Bartlett? Oh, she is playing ragtime in Woolworth's, and Birney Ritchie is turning the pages for her, and once in awhile he favors the public with 'Morrison Loyalty.' And Clara Hanson is teaching at M. H. S. When we were there she had taken Geometry II three years, well, she decided to make it a life study. Olga Dovicke is one of the world's greatest contralto singers. Last time I heard her she was singing at the Lyric Theatre for the benefit of the new CPD Gym. Our Dutch friend, Rick, has quit posing as twins, as he got into many diiliculties, and now he is wrestling. He won over Frank Gotch last night. Well, Smith, you have told me how the bunch fared, and they fared pretty well, but you never mentioned Walter Knox. No, I wasn't going to either. You know he always was a way- ward fellow. He nearly drove Miss Barnes crazy, and he and Mr. Weaver had a misunderstanding when we were Freshies. Walter had an awful habit, and, as I expected, it led him to the 'pen.' He carved his name on the new brick pavement, so I arrested him and had him sent to Joliet. Poor Knox. S500!! REWARD!! S500!! To the man who can persuade Bayard Hollinshead to cut his hair. We fear it is becoming wild and wooly and endangering his classmates. cslgnedp FACULTY.

tion Army leader in full array. She is so taken up with her work that she wouldn't recognize any of her old classmates if she did see them. Editor Burr could do no more than to stand spellbound and listen. You know Bob Collins? Well, he has a line position now. He is traveling for Ben West. That man went sort of crazy over pink and pea green ties, so Ben gave him a job peddling neckwearf' What became of Alice Rowland? inquired our old friend Stickie. Oh, she married, too. Now she is demonstrating face powder at the Boyd, Curtis 8: Co. drug store. And, speaking of domestics, Lyle Ritchie has a steady job at Johnston's Garage. Remember that famous Buick he bought? Do I? Icould never forget it. Where's my old friend, Bump Crump? That's a long, sad story. One day Bump was playing marbles out in the road, and along came some bold, bad men and grabbed him. They were circus men, so now poor Bump is traveling with Barnum SL Bailey, under the name of 'The Midget from Borneof Bayard Hollinshead didn't fare very well, either. Poor man, he is superintendent of a little country Sunday School out in Colorado. But Specks Weaver made quite a name for himself. He is Frohman's only rival. He first won public notice when he appeared in the diflicult role of 'Old Bill Salt' in the 'Nautical Nut.' Oh, yes, I did hear about him. And, by the way, I see Sara Mitchell is our Irish Ambassadoressf' She certainly was some politician, replied Smith. She was one of our Democratic Senators in Civics, if I remember correctly. But prepare yourself for the shock. Last year, when I was traveling in the Orient, I ran into Hiddleson, and what do you think he has? Not a talking streak? NNOIU As Well then, nothing else will surprise me. This will. He has a Harem. Now, Smith, if you want me to listen to you, you must tell the truth. How is Martha Burns? Oh, she is running all over the country giving these flesh re- duction lessons. Last week she gave Ruth Meakins one, and you should see Alene Trautwein. She looks like a skeleton, after two weeks' treatment. u

-,214-f OUR M. H. S. LIBRARY It is a great pleasure for us to put before the public this list of books, whichour fellow schoolmates have so ably composed. They are now well kept in the Library of M. H. S., and are carefully dusted each and every day by our Janitor, Mr. Mouck. It will no doubt surprise you to find that so many of our High School Students have taken the habit, writing. Well, you see, it's just this way. There is always some sort of fad among the students. All of a sudden they started the habit of writing Cnotesj. The editorial board soon noticed that a fine oppor- tunity was before them, and, as a result you have before you the good work the students did. We trust that you can tell the nature of the book by the title. ' 4 Concentration ,,,,,,,.,,,. ,,,,,,,,, , , .
