In the year l936 I returned from studying with the famous Dr, Yuanchidarze, of Korea. My first case in the United States was an operation which I performed on the owner of one of the largest scrap factories in the world. It was not until the last day of my visit to the invalid that I niet his wife. Imagine my surprise when I found her to be my old school mate, Loie Paul. Of course, we began to talk of the class of '17, of which I had heard nothing since the night of the gradu- ation. 'gGenevieve Gibson has certainly turned out to be a successful character in life's great drama, said Loie. HShe is now serving her second term as Congresswoman for the state of Vifashington. You know she was the one who convinced the other members of the need of educating the natives of the Samoan Islands in a better way. This was decided to be done by letting them do the servant work in the private homes of us Americans. you see. Good idea, isn't it? And what has become of the others? MOh, Bertha Tll0II1?LS, you remember her, don't you '? Wtall, she is a very famous singer in the Orpheum Opera, in Cliicagof, answered my class mate. I'm not surprised, I said, for she always got such good grades in music in High School, you know. I Did you hear about Robert 5? No? Wliy' he is now known as Gen. R. VV. Bachelor. Ile joined the army soon after graduating and worked his way up until he is now a general. And speaking of that makes me think of the war, which leads to nurses. Hazel Fisher always wished to be anurse, you remember. Well, she en- listed as a Red Cross nurse in l9l9, but owing to the great demand for aviators, she changed work. She drove the blg 'Sky Scraping Flyer,' which did so much damage to the enemies' trenches. HDid Isabel take up nursing as she had planned as a school girl J? I asked. 'tOh dear, no, was the reply. t'She made much money as well as a great name for herself by her wonderful work as a conductor of a beauty parlor in Denver, Colo. However, this did not satisfy her ideals, for several years ago she married the owner of a large
