ti remember Carol, of course, Weir was driving for the Chrysler Company and he was number thirteen. We met Mamie Jennings while at the track and she is teaching at the Bellingham Normal. Seems to like her work real well. And by the way, Freda Criswell is private secretary for the President there. It is rumored that there will be a wedding soon. lsn't that thrilling? Are you planning on attending the Olympic games? l wouldn't miss them for anything this year for the world, as Emory Nlorket is representing the United States as fastest long distance runner. l-le has made a wonderful record so far, Vxfell. Ginger, while home l made a special trip out to Saginaw to see the new growth of trees and they are doing splendidly. I didn't realize what won- derful work forestry was until I saw those all formerly hare hills covered with that young growth of trees. Your work in the East is just as successful, too, and the next summer when our class all come together for the planned fishing trip and we pull the speckled trout out of the foaming streams rippling along in the shade of your trees, we will then realize just what we have accomplished worth while for ourselves and others. Dont answer this letter, as l will he with you the day it arrives. Your true friend, E. H., '25, Eighzeen

aHair, he decided to take charge of the plane for the trip. As we both had business in Seattle, we decided to go by water from Tacoma. While on the boat reading I met a lady that looked quite familiar, and who do you suppose she was? Gladys Silva, who is now a missionary, was making a last trip to her home before she sailed for Japan. She called my at- tention to a small booklet advertising California. A certain water route was strongly advocated, and, would you believe it, the owner was Henry Eaton- tlze boy that liked detective and adventure stories. Gladys said he was very successful. Do you remember how he used to tease Miss Wilkie? We did not think then that he would be such an important figure in the business world. Gladys also told me that while in Oakville she had been much surprised to learn that the large tractor factory just east of town was owned by Frederick Moe. As they still own the farm, though vastly improved, he spends most of his spare time there. Vvle three lunched at the Indian Summer and the music was delightful. The music came from station MNOE, where Paul White is in charge. He surely had made an exhaustive study of the subject and is quite a figure in the radio world. After luncheon we drove out to the U to see the game between Wash- ington and California. Pat Murray certainly had the boys in good trim and it was an easy task for the boys to win. After the last touch-down the boys com- pletely mobbed the coach. In their estimation he had won the game. He cer- tainly was just the man to succeed Rusty Callow, Edwin refused to accompany us to the Winter Garden for he was going to a smoker that evening. Kid Popornf' or as we know him, Cecil Virtue, was meeting Jack Dempsey. l know he will win for Jack is rather old now and has been an actor too long for quick work in the ring. The performance was very good and the main number was Leona Hey- wood and her husband. She has developed into a wonderful actress, but of course she had the best of training in Paris for several years. We decided to drive to Tacoma the next day for the races. The race track is in use again and is now better than it was before. Weir Eaton came in first and he certainly is a reckless driver. I crushed all the flowers on my hat in the excitement. His track name is Sparks and he is a regular demon. His wife sat in the grandstand and she was afraid some accident would occur. You Scwnteen
