IH - Uhr Annual - IE there were several children in the yard who seemed to beinterested in their teacher. On going closer I found that Anna Dreher had reached the goal she had worked for, that of a country school teacher. After conversing with her I found out that Gaynelle Catterson was happy in her home in Lapel. The train whistled, we were all aboard for New York. Upon arriving at the Union station I went up to purchase some candy and whom should I see but Mary Meara and Lois Vaught who were gaining fame all over the world for their sea island taffy. Next to the station I noticed a Movie Show and upon entering I saw a face which was familiar and upon closer observance found out that it was Marguerite Johns who had gained the famous position as pianist in the Powell picture show. During my stay in New York, I was invited to a party and here I met several of my High School friends, among thezn being Joyce Paulsel,Gae Woddell, Zilpha Randall and Goldah Roberts, who were gaining world wide reputation as actresses with the Keystone Company. Before leaving New York I visited the Slums, and found Louise Neal and Marie Little busily engaged in Charity work. On the same day I visited the Vernon Castle dancing school, and found Bernice Lowther as one of the dancing teachers. From her I learned that Blanche Kester had accepted the position as assistant in the school of Osteopathy in Missouri. I also visited the Curtis Publishing Company, and here found Gray Truitt,Editor in chief, and living the life of an old bachelor. At the Hotel, the evening before I left, I was reading the paper and noticed the following, Big Duel Scheduled, on reading further I found that Robert Howe was to participate in a duel with Count Von Hamburg the next morning over the possession of a famous English Bull Dog. I next took a trip on the Hudsong I stopped at the Girls' Boarding School and was greeted by Mabel Wheeler, the Matron, and Martha Cammack her assistant. I learned that Dorothy Hege and Frankie McCoun were taking Music and Art and would graduate the next spring. I next turned my course toward South America, on the Steamer I met Emmet Armstrong who was a traveling salesman for Bostonian Shoes. Very much fatigued after my journey I went to the Hotel to rest up for my sight seeing trip the next day. The next morning I started out in a Tourists Car. I visited the Cocoa- nut Grove and there found Kathleen Thayer and her husband employed by the Government in giving out pamplets on the culture of cocoanuts. We had a very delightful conversation and found out that Kathleen had been there for quite a While. Suddenly the Car stopped and the glasses fell from my eyes and the vision faded. Page Twenty Nine

15- Ihr Annual -1121 CLASS PRGPI-IECY IT was a hot sultry day in July, that I started on my trip which later proved to be the most pleasant occasion of my life. Just before boarding the train my attention was drawn to a man by the name of Old Mose, who peddled his wares around in a cart drawn by an old balky don- key. He made his living by selling a very curious little article known as Magic Glasses. Since I was to be traveling for some time I purchased a pair of these mysterious glasses. Just then my train came and I hurriedly put them in my purse and boarded the train. For afew hours the people of the train furnished amusement for me, and then my thoughts came back to the Magic Glasses. As the conductor was coming thru the car, I put my Glasses on and beheld to my astonishment my old classmate Fred Roudebush, who had gained the honorable position as conductor on the Lake Erie R. R. Our first stop was a very small village used as a milk station,naturally I looked out of the window and who should I see but Margaret Hadley. I attrac- ted her attention and after having a short conversation found out that she and her husband were running a creamery. Just then the train pulled out. We soon reached Indianapolis. As I had to stay over night I purchased a ticket and witnessed the Passing Show of 1923. In the first tableau to my astonishment I saw Kathryn White posing as Maid of America. In the next tableau entitled Mamma's only Son Roland Fisher played the leading role. After the show I went to the Hotel and going to the desk to register I came face to face with Martin Hubbard who told me that after his honeymoon, he purchased the hotel and if business kept up, he would soon be a millionaire. Early the next morning I took a train for Chicago. I arrived there late in the evening and after a pleasant night's rest I was ready to go sight seeing. I was advised to visit Armour's Meat Packing House, after passing thru several departments I came to the stamping room. I walked over to see one of the men and had the pleasure of meeting Albert Lacy who was busily engaged in tagging Bacon, I soon found out that he had held this position since graduating from Butler College. After going back to the Hotel I rang for a bell boy and who should appear but Forest Hanna clothed in a bright red uniform trimmed in gold buttons. He told me he was enjoying life immensely. After my short stay in Chicago I went to Bay View, Michigan, for a weeks stay, I went to the Summer Hotel and enquired for a maid, I was certainly glad to have one of my old N. H. S. friends, Lorena Reese, to fill the position. The next afternoon I went down to the beach and my attention was attracted to a large green and white striped umbrella, upon looking behind it who should I see but Loui G. Caylor writing Love Sonnets to Carolyn Osbon who on inquiry I found was studying the Violin in Germany. As I was going to the Hotel I noticed a very excited crowd gathering around the pier, I walked over to the scene of excitement and found out that Dewey Bradley, the life guard, had just rescued the famous novelist Mary Wild, from drowning. Before leaving the Lake I decided to get a Souvenir, and on going over to the store I found Harry Rhoades managing a Souvenir and pawn shop. He told me he was engaged in this work only in summer as the Lake climate benefited his health. After leaving Bay View I went to New York. While on the road a slight accident happened, which caused a delay of a few hours. Getting off of the train I noticed a small school house near by, Page Twenty Eight
