MYRTLE POINT. OREGON Evelyn McPherson is practicing law in Boston. She has a large practice and has not lost a case so far. Edythe Schroeder is a woman of leisure. They say she never rises until four in the afternoon. She made millions of dollars by speculating in land at the South Pole. She is said to be very unhappy though for she is in love with a young man who will not marry her for fear people will think he is marrying for her money. Our old friend Stanley Furman is completing a canal in Nicaragua. The government considers him one of the most valuable men in their employment. Who would ever have thought, when we used to study about Nicaragua in History class, that one among our midst would finally build this proposed canal? Gladys Culbertson is on the stage now. She is an emotional actress and is considered by the critics to be one of the best in America. She is exquisitely slim and has a queenly carriage. Mildred Russell succeeded in swimming across the Hudson Bay, the first of November. She was the first person to ever accomplish this feat. She names the Wecoma baths as the place where she received her early training. Orlin Lett is a renowned author. His books are very popular and he is known all over the world. He has a charming estate at Bridge, where he does all of his writings. Clarena was so surprised to hear you had become a doctor. She said she always knew you were an awful cut-up but did not expect you to make that your profession. She was also surprised to learn I had married a famous artist. She knew I painted a little but did not know I would go so far along that line. Well I guess that is all of the old bunch. I wish you were here to visit with Clarena and me. My husband just came in with three tickets for the theater so I must be getting ready. Write soon and tell me if you have received any additional information on the class of “ ’27.” Love, Isabelle. -:o:- Pafre Twenty-one

UNION hu;h school quite a butterfly and it is thought that Bill is very unhappy. While I am speaking of preachers I might add that our old friend Crystal Guerin, has a wonderful tabernacle in Los Angeles and converts hundreds at each service. She is said to be even greater than Aimee McPherson. Dear Frances joined a nunnery after breaking hundreds of hearts. I will not say much about her as you two were great friends and I know you feel very badly about her unhappy life. I was really sorry to learn that Hilda gave her engagement ring back to Rodney and married Elbert Schroeder and I think Hilda and Rodney were much better suited for Elbert was always fickle. I do hope he stays with her for she is of a loving nature and it would probably mean the death of her to have him untrue. Elbert is an undertaker in Greenland and his wife is one of the leading society women of that place. Katie is head of the English department in the high school from which we graduated. The old school now has an enrollment of over 800. Elton Aasen owns the largest logging camp in the Northwest and has a monopoly on all white cedar. Bill McLennan is now making use of his great salesmanship ability. He has worked up a very profitable business selling snow shoes to the natives in the Hawaiian Islands. He always was a wonder. Ena owns a large ranch in Texas and is still looking for her bow-legged, freckle-faced red-headed cowboy. Most likelv you remember the incident at Corvallis when she first fell for a man of that description. She has great faith in finding him some day. Dacie has given up her study of music just on the eve of becoming famous and she and Ellis are on their honeymoon in Ala-ka. After seven years in the Senate, Ellis has just succeeded in having his code of aeronautic traffic laws, passed by Congress. Our old classmate, vain and vanity stricken Margaret Luttrell, is a traveling salesman for toilet articles and beauty lotions. Kenneth Porterfield is a designer of women’s wearing apparel. He posses as a French Duke and of course this title brings him the trade of many notable people. Faye is doing research work in Africa, for Washington University. It seems she is cut out for this work for they say she has an instinct which leads her to the places where things of value may be unearthed. Adeline has become a famous movie star. She was on the stage for sometime but upon receiving a wonderful offer from Paramount, she signed a contract with them calling for wages of $5,000 a week. Thev say she’s wonderful in her latest picture, “The Dancing Doll.” Page Twenty

UNION HIGH SCHOOL (Hass Jv istory We entered High School as Freshmen in the “Old Brick’ building and nearly all of us have reached the Junior class. The class of '28 has a very prominent place in school activities. Over half of the football lettermen are members of this class. They are, Chester Hosman. William Forrest, Lyle Knight, Ca.-l Richert and William Donald, one stripe; Clifton James, Shirley Carter and Harold Carver, two stripes; and Francis Keltner, three stripes. Shirley Carter won his second letter in Basketball this year. We have been represented on the track team every year and expect to have more lettermen this season. Clarence Carrick and Francis Keltner won the affirmative side of the debate question this year, and the former has been chosen to represent the school in the oratorical contest. The Junior girls have also made a good showing in girls’ athletics. We have four members in the Honor Society, Alice Train, Francis Keltner, Clarence Carrick and Clifton James, which all goes to show that this class is not lacking in talent. The Junior class is trying to be a credit to the school and we believe we have been very successful. Page Twenty-two
