Porothy Jones, oh yes she maiTied, that was Charley I could see. Living- there at Teachers Coiie ;e, ho has got his Ph.D. U ' ith her hiisl)and a Professor, Dorothy wants to study too, Until she can teach beside him : her degree is almost due. Georgia was not near the old place, in a i)lace unknown to me; South America was where she lived, strange to vou as it may be. Wedded to an engineer whose fame is spreading wide. And it pleased me much to find her such a blissfully happy bride. Mary Kramer, still so luu)py works and sings and sometimes plays. Reads the deepest of all reading, goes clear back to Homer ' s lays. Then imparts the knowledge gathered in an immense lecture I ' oom Where Ted Bushby sitting nearby looks as solemn as the tomb. Elizabeth has found a man whose after her own heart. I see her going down the street a pushing a gj-cart, She ' s taking sonny for a walk, and also to meet his dad ; 1 saw him grreet them as he came, they all seem very glad. Becky is a secretary in one of the large concerns, Real content with her position and the salary that she earns. Businesslike I thought her manner when someone came to confer. And she has a dozen stenos who are working under her. l Xx- ' A. - Idabel it seemed in science, had chose to specialize. Many theories she ' d exploded, many more she ' d criticize, So that by her tireless research, and by working like all fury She had gained a reputation that rivaled Madame Curie. Then it seemed I saw Myrtle, talking to the manager of a store. When the manager ' d say something, she would say a whole lot more. And with her persuasion, what a saleslady she did make, Buyers simply had no say, her goods they ' d have to take. Jerry still lived here in Flagstaff, and her husband bossed the mill And their home was real pretentious, jjerched high up ujion the hill. When I saw her, she was hostess at some elegant affair. And in formal entertaining she and Bob sure do their share. Florence Naegle looked so funny since she ' s got so very plump ; She ' s a country superintendent, really has made quite a jump. In her county where she ' s serving she is liked so very well. That no other they ' d consider, so she ' ll be there quite a spell.

' Twas Zip who came then, with her head held so high, But her fame and position would that justify. She was thrilling the millions with her wonderful song. She ' s touring the west, j ' ou ' ll hear her ere long. And then Lura Briscoe with her manner so sweet. Who stood near a capitol, delegates to greet. Her husband was a politician who had got pretty high And his wife ' s clever helping was what got him by. And then I saw Amy, who in her retiring way Was stopping at a friend ' s a visit to pay. She mentioned her Essex, and her Chrysler coupe. She ' d inherited a fortune and won a fiance. And Grace then sauntered by me with a look of unconcern. Art and sculptor work had caused her all frivolity to spurn. Among the select of the nation she was held in fairest grace For her masterpiece had brought her to a most exalted iilace. But Edna Davis looked so different I could hardly think it her. She was sitting at a table, reading Judd, or else Thayer. In the field of education she had a most enviable rep And her books are used as references by the critic teachers yet. .Ginger still, played o ' er the ivories, bringing melodies so sweet And her audiences were real ones, made up of the most elite. Work and more work thus had brought her to an honorary seat, But she gladly welcomes old friends when their paths chance to meet. Sarah had her High School hero safely held by wedlock ties, Real contented and so happy, still she to her neighbor sighs, I wish I could take up teaching, housekeeping is such a bore And I ' m going to if ' ICicky ' plays in football games much more. Amy Gibbons is the mother of a dandy little flock There in St. Johns, living simply, just as such a mother ought. Says she thought she ' d be a teacher but had somehow changed her mind But she really is a teacher, the most necessary kind. (fid Idell still has her Dodge roadster, and she pilots it with ease In Detroit ' s thickest traffic, doing much as sh e may please. Long since she saw Arizona, or the dear old Flagstaff school But she ' s coming west to visit when lake breezes get too cool. Maude has kept her girlish figure, dancing does it, try and see. She danced her way around the world, gaining much notoriety. You ' ll be hearing of her prominence, hearing very freciuontly, And of course say with importance, Why she went to school with me.

Cecil Olson is a nurse, to her work her soul she gives. Every day in sincere service, happy in the realm she lives, So content in quiet labors, you would hardly know Cecil, But a nurse is what she ' ll be, or my prophetic gifts are not real. Annavard, a Dean of Women in a University, Where her labors bring contentment, with their great di- versity. What she wants and what she orders to her charges is their law And with her they ' re very happy, and they hold her in great awe. Mabel sets the pace of fashion for the people of Broadway, Is the foremost foreign buyer for some company, they say. Spends her winters all in Paris, returning home usually in May. Bringing word of latest fashions for our summertime array. Then quickly to the Grand Canyon brink I seemed at once transported ; A hotel hostess met my view, a good one so reported ; I found her in the office though the liour was very early. And recognized our old-time friend, none other than Elinor Shirley. And Almina as you know her, you would hardly place here here; Dolled out in a prescribed costume which made her look so queer. But it was a swell hotel that catered to the wealthy And Almina made their menus trying hard to keep them healthy. Then it was I saw Maria in such finery regaled Going from a hotel desk where some letters she had mailed. And I asked the bell-hop nearby, who this dignitary could be. Why the wife of Senator Somebody, was the answer he gave me. Madalene ' s eyes still sparkle with their bit of suppressed glee And her suitors and admirers flock yet prolifically. But their presence doesn ' t phase her, the old adage doesn ' t hold. First the best, is what she claims now, at least that ' s what I was told. Hattie finally with persuasion has returned her diamond ring. And H. has won her over, not an unexpected thing. Their abode is there in Central and their crops are doing fine ; The rumor that I last heard was they ' re kiddies number nine. Eloise is a librarian in a library of some size, Says the work is something that she knew she never could despise.
