I looked, rub- bed my eyes, pinched myself, had my valet stick me with a pin to see if I was awake or dreaming, then I looked again. No, it was not a dream, for there were several familiar personages frantically waving their handkerchieves to gain my attention. I gave them. an answering, then ordered the valet to prepare to leave immediately, while walking down the gang plank, and to the waiting car. As I came nearer, I was able to distinguish the occupants. There was Pete sitting at the wheel, in the other seats were Con, Art, Mid and Ruth. When I reached the car I was greeted with hello's on every side. We're all going over to Pearl's home on Fifth Avenuef' said Ruth. Yes, and the rest of the class of '22's going there to. Ex- claimed Mid. Say Fritz, have any baggage? asked Pete. Yes, I replied, I have some baggage. My valet will soon have them on the dock. Well, said Pete. You tell that valet of yours to look after them while I phone for one of my servants to come down here with another car. You can stay with me while in New York. Alright, I answered, and went immediately to where Henri my valet, was awaiting further orders. On returning I found the car waiting. I motioned to Henri and then climbed into the front seat beside Pete. Pete wanted to hear about my success and offered the story of his in return. But I said, 'cWait until we reach Pearl's, then I want to hear the story of success from each of you in turn, and you shall be Hrstf' Well here we are ! announced Pete, stopping the car before a magnilicient mansion. On the wide veranda smilingly awaiting us were Pearl, Mable, Cliff. Cora, Skint, Harry, Eunice, Carrol, Ethel and Nita. When we are all seated Pearl asked, Fred won't you please tell us of your success and labors after you graduated from Oak- ville? Yes, do! exclaimed the others. No, I replied. I am the last, I would like to hear from each of you in turn. Pete, if you please, we'll hear from you first. Well, answered Pete. There isn't much to it, but what there is I'll tell. You all know that I worked for the Robinson Drug 'i 'M i'W'M i'u FK'E EM'5?i 'i-H 'W'M'HI- n'W i

The next year I received an offer from the Rexall Druggists in Philadelphia,which I accepted. After being in their service for fifteen years, the president of the concern informed me that his son, Bob Howitzer, intended to set up a store in New York, and that he wanted him to choose some one whom he thought would make a good partner. President I-Iowitzer went on to tell me about his son. Well, we started the firm, I-Iowitzer and Fisher. The first year we had very little luck, things looked pretty bad for us at times. The next was leap year, and we began to do better. For four years we worked hard, gaining a little and enlarging our build- ing, and now our firm is the largest in the world. And by the way, tomorrow I'll have something to show you. I hope some day to be quite proud of it. I will be very much pleased to see whatever you chose to show old sport, I answered. Pearl, we would like to hear from you next. . My success isn't what some picture it to be, but what there is I'll tell you, she commenced rather modestly. After graduat- ing from I-Ii School, I went to college for two years. Somehow I didn't like the things they taught. I left and studied under a pri- vate tutor how to compose music. After practicing some time, I took part in a concert, and-Well the outcome of it was that, I was asked to compose and sing the songs in Tacoma and Seattle, in the following winter, in answer to a request from San Francis- co. There after the entertainment I was introduced to, and con- gratulated by David Richfield, who later became my present hus- band. I traveled from Chicago to New York, composing and sing- ing songs at each place in turn. I sang in several different places. After some time I married David and then settled down, and have been keeping house ever since. She concluded with a fond look at our friend David Richfield. Fine, Fine! You have sure had some luck ! I exclaimed. Well Con, we'll like to hear from you next. Yippy Dippy! Yippy Dippy! Yi! Yi! Y! Oakville! Oakville! Oakville Hi! Say gang! I owe all the credit of my success to Oakville Hi School and all the coaches we've had except J. J. Carrol. Who, of course, you all know what kind of a coach he was. Well, after graduating, I played for the Oakville Baseball Team as short stop, third base, and sometimes as a pitcher in the less important games. The next year I played for Tacoma as a sub, and then at the Samg time I practiced pitching. The following year I pitched in all the winning games for Tacoma. The beginning of the next Seaggn found me pitching for Chicago, next year for Boston, and for the rest of the time for New York, in whose service I am now. Some climb! But you sure have earned it. I commented you're next Mabel.
