one afternoon when we played hookey? Well, neither of us are married yet, and we must let each other know a year before hand, so I guess we’re safe for a year at least. In the WHO’S WHO IN AMERICA I saw Claire’s picture. He really hasn’t changed a bit. His speeches are the topics of interest in the newspapers now. He has already been classed with Bryan, Clay, and Webster, and he is still a young man. There is no doubt but what he will receive the nomination for president. Audra is going to join the American Relief Workers in the Near East. She has been teaching school for several years, hasn’t she? A new record that I ordered some time ago came today so I stopped writing to play it. It is “The Brain Storm” played by Baker’s Band. This is one of his own compositions. Mabel Hall has won quite a name for herself in the United States Secret Service. She always was of an inquisitive nature. Just the same she sure is making this old world a better place to live in. Kenneth Cutler has made it possible to produce the color effect in photographs and one gets the natural colors. He is n» w in the service of the National Geographical Survey. William Nelson is assistant editor of the Whiz Bang. It is becoming better literature all the time, due to his efforts. He has now won the worthy title of Captain Billy, Jr. Coal was discovered some time ago on the Culbertson homestead so Enith is now on easy street. Myrtle said she was planning to take a trip to Paris this fall. Upon my arrival in New York Clarence called on me at The Ritz. He certainly has been coining in the millions on Wall Street. Thanks to his careful study of Economics in High School he has become the shrewdest of brokers. Bud and Shorty have certainly been successful in speculations. They not only married their old childhood sweethearts but the oil wells which they invested in, shortly after school was out, have proved to be the richest in California. Page Fifteen

HOTEL RITZ NEW YORK New York City, June 10, 1930. My Dear Eula: I want to be one of the first to congratulate you upon your success. I knew you would be elected all the time though. Just think, my old school chum a United States Senator! It only seems such a short time ago that we were going to high school and climbing up in the belfry or racing down the street to avoid being late. If one stops to think about it all our old class have been pretty successful. I suppose you knew that Jack was married last month. She married a very wealthy and influential man. He gave her a lovely car for a wedding present. So I suppose they will be happy. Myrtle Hall is president of the First National Bank in Denver, isn’t she? She’s married now. She sent me a picture of her two kiddies last Christmas. I saw in the paper the other day that Scout was traveling with a troupe on the Orpheum Circuit, doing a special act. I rather expected him to become a radio operator. Fred McMullen owns one of the best Ladies Shops in Los Angeles. I buy many of my frocks there. Elton followed in his father’s foot steps, d:dn’t he? He really is one of the best Mayors that Portland has ever had and Audrey makes him such a swet wife. She is very well liked by everyone. Mabel Lundy is head nurse in Lane Hospital in San Francisco. You know she won quite a bit of publicity for her services in the late war staged by the Ku Klux Klan. So you say Rosa is married, how d d you find out? I always did say that she was deserving of the best and I guess she is happy in her beautiful home. Seems like all our old school mates are getting married. Remember the vow we made Page Fourteen

In my last letter from Bill he mentioned that Peel was the professor of science in the Princeton University. This hardly surprised me because you know of his wonderful invention that came out last year, a three cylindar automatic angle trisector. I heard from Crawford the other day. He sent me a radiogram from the battleship New York, where he is operator, You know he attended Radio schools several years after finishing Hi. I want you to be sure and see my latest French photo play, Mile, de Barlideu, of which Mr. Linn is the author. You know we have been taking scenes in France. I’ve worked harder on this than I have since I attended the old Myrtle Point High School. I believe this play will make a better hit in America than any I have appeared in. Now I’m ready for my vacation, which I have planned to spend in Alaska. If you hadn’t taken office when you did we would have gone together. Write to me soon and be sure to send me any additional information you might have on the old bunch. Affectionately, Flossie Belle. :o: Page Sixteen
