MULVANE AWim. ti ?ttl-ti»l NINETEEN 1 1 Kill SCHOOL UHcUUU cUtU ttUclCk SEVENTEEN § ' cniiu (Class Prophcnj On April I, L930, I opened my old fashioned country bouse as a tea room. As il was located on paved mads between two large cities business soon began to flourish. Mad it doI been for the recenl death of my husband I would have been very happy. One afternoon a large automobile stopped In front of the house, a man and woman stepped out and came up the walk. There was something strangely familiar about the man ' s face, DUl I couldn ' t think what it was. I opened the door for them and before I could say anything the gentleman spoke. called me bj my name and was shaking hands vigorously. Jerry, I gasped, for 1 instantly recognized that voire. His hair was quite gray, which somewhat changed his appearance, but his voice was just as pleasant as it was when we were class-mates at Mulvane High. lie introduced me to his wife, who was an actress in an opera. Jerry was a very i anions actor and was playing opposite his wife. Do you know where Paul is? I asked, I haven ' t seen or heard of him since he was divorced from Doris Richardson. He ' s a pharmacist in some flourishing town in western Kansas. 1 ran across him a few months ago when my train was delayed there several hours. He also dees some cartoon work on the side. I couldn ' t help asking bim if he was married, and was certainly surprised to hear that he was not. The divorce accounted for it. Why don ' t you tell her about the lady you found in the hospital, asked his wife. O. yes. ' ' continued Jerry. 1 must not forget that. Three months ago I was operated on for appendicitis which seems as popular as it used to be. Imagine my sur- l rise when 1 discovered that my nurse was Dean Xelson. I never would have known her l»ut she recognized me and told me who she was. Say you never would know that girl, she is so thin. 1 don ' t believe that she weighs a bit more than one hundred and fifty pounds. It was through her that I learned of Rolland. I never was so sur- prised in my life did you know that he is a missionary in Africa? I don ' t know how- it happened but Dean said he was disappointed in love. Do you know what became of Doris and Ruby? Yes, I replied. Ruby is happy, married to a wealthy lawyer. I gol a letter from her the other day. She has thirteen children and seems to be liv- ing the kind of life she always wanted to. Doris has several letters tacked to her panic, and is a professor in the University of Colorado. But where is Floyd? I left immediately after we graduated and haven ' t heard from him since. He married Gertrude that summer and they are living on a large fruit farm in Arkansas. Well, that isn ' t quite so surprising, but have you heard what a famous politician Dewey bet ame? No I haven ' t. said Jerry. Tell me about him. Well I am taking the Wichita Beacon, and it has been praising him highly. I guess he is about the most popular senator Kansas has had for some time. He secured a position for Karl Kimble as postmaster in some large Kansas town. Neither of these hoys is married yet and they say that Kail is likely to be a confirmed oh ' bachelor, but it is rumored that Dewej is to be married soon. We continued this pleasant chat for some time, but as Jerry had to return for the show that uight they did not stay as long as they otherwise would have. I was certainly glad for his visit. It had given me many things to think about. Sonic of the class had turned out entirely different than I expected, but each member Of the class ' 17. I was glad to know, were doing w-ell in the world. Cliffe Rowland — I couldn ' t find any larger hail ridbon.
