for the government. Far and Wide he was known as 6'Funny-Face, the outlaw. We tried to get him to return home With us, but he said, Noblesville has long since run out of cans and therefore it Would be use- less for me to go back. Taking sorrowful leave of this, our last class- mate, We hurriedly started back, and after a long trip We safely arrived in Noblesville, the home of good old N. H. S., having seen many sights and bringing back sad remembrances of my old class-mates of 1911. GEORGE BOWEN, '11.

the purpose of obtaining something to eat and drink. We were dumb- founded when the owner appeared and proved to be Bessie Berg. She soon told us of her desire for a free life and her establishment of a Jack- Rabbit Ranch. She said her best exercise was to ride the jack-rabbits round the ranch. She did not forget to inform us that 'iOld Molly, the bob-tailed family horse, was still thriving. Taking leave of this place of wonders, we started southward, intend- ing to visit the country around the South Pole. ' The long night was on and we had much difficulty in advancing. All at once my companion exclaimed, 'GI see a light! I see a light! I see a bright and shining light! We descended at once and were astounded to meet Gertrude Dixon. Gertrude had the ambition to paint a picture of the South Pole. CG-ertrude has marked talents in this line.D She had one decided advan- tage, because she had no need of any light to light up the darkness about her. Nature has certainly been kind to her. Pursuing our course, we eventually came out of the regions of dark- ness and directed our course to the West Indies. Here, at a large Hhaciendaf, we found Katherine Roudebush. We soon obtained the whole story. Katherine had seen an advertisement in the newspaper of a bachelor living in Cuba, who wanted a wife. Immediately answering this in person, she was accepted and-well, there she is yet. Visiting her was another old class-mate, Mabel Metsker, well known opera star, who was taking a much needed rest after a continued tour of Europe and America, where she appeared in all the large theatres, everywhere win- ning fame and popularity. Soon taking leave we proceeded north to the Philippines. At a large town, hearing of the presenceof three white women, we sought them out and found Chelsea Randall, Bertus Farlow and Bessie Ale. They had control of the school and missionary work there. Bertus was head teacher. She was here trying the power of Hmoral persuasionjlialthough it worked not. Occasionally when asked a question, she would remove her glasses and say, HI did not get to read about that, my eyes were hurting. Bessie was official whipper, and she spared not the rod. Far and wide she was feared for her eagle eye, and strong unrelenting aim. Chelsea was Hchief cook and bottle washerw and had charge of the church department. She was known, as she was known in N. H. S., for her quietness and meek acceptance of everything that fell to her lot. In another town, far away, we encountered another old class-mate, Evans Dierlein, not much resembling the old Evans, but still Evans Dier- lein. Seeing his desperate look, we inquired the reason and he told us all. I-Iaving graduated from N. II. S., he had gone from college to college only to be canned, from each in a short time. Finally he had been can- nedvfrom the last one and had gone to the Philippines to take command of a force of outlaws and revolutionists there, who were causing much trouble i
