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

CLASS POEM. Ne'er before has there been seen A class like we of '17, It seems like all the town Rejoice that we have gained renown. To look upon so fine a crowd, Enough to make them all feel proud. It is in debate that we have soared, In contests plenty we haee scored. Four are they who this have won. Four we will mention one by one. There 's Robert, he of logie keen, llelen. gifted with silvery tongue. Isabel-well ean it be said, She's got the pep, She's get the rep. And that is all she needsf' Yet one remains of whom to speak, Philip in Whom homely virtues meet. All eannot win in debate, The rest are smart at any rate. 'l'here're are other gifts to be prized, Even tho they be disguised. lloie's is not-,tis musie rare Made to eharin away all eare. llazel's smile is Worth all the gold That even this big world would hold Genevieve's a eharming loss, Gladys a leader in the class. Deseribe our Bertha with one Word, Loquacious? Good, that's the word Such a eontrast to Ruth we see, Something' else her talent must be. Hail to the class of '17, Hail to the colors, pink and green, High hopes are ours of the coming years For what may come we have no fears. -Ruth Newton
