C rieninr qgrnphetg 'AWhy, Hello there, Ruth! This is some surprise, Meeting you a passenger Traveling here in the skies! Sit down at my table, While I order a little lunch, And talk to you about our class, And what has become of the bunch. Do you ever hear from our classmates, C'l'he class of '30 you knowl, And what have you been doing, 1Sinco a f-ew years ago? t l'o be sure, Keith, I've been trying for a year, To get in touch with everyone- A diificult task, I fear. You know of course where Gracie is, Leading lady in Frezer's plays. She's doing nicely: I heard from her just yesterday. And the last I heard of Georgia, fHer name was Mrs. Roy Bockl She had an ice rceam parlor, In the town of Castle Rock. Did you know that Alfred Boyd, Was doing missionary work? Preaching to the natives, For the Seventh Day Advent Church? I haven't heard from Marshal Rickerd But from what I've been able to iind He-'s working for the Government, On an Alaska rail-way line. Elve is in the East. Or perhaps, Paris by this time, She's buying hats and dry goods, For the company of HHeath and Cline. I heard from Bernice a short time ago, And you wouldn't think that she could: But shes in California now. Page Fourteen In the city of Hollywo0d- Her twin sister didn't fare so well, But is just as well off I thillk- For she married a swell Romeo, Who is one of those HCi'Cy Ginksf' You know that Ella was never married. But I guess she doesn't care. She is matron in a large HOFDIWL And is doing nicely there. Dean Couch has sure been faithful, Staying at the ranch day by day- He seems well and DI'0SIl6I'0uS, I guess he's made the old farm DRY. Freeman has an odd position, You'd never think it of him. He is now dancing instructor In a large college gym. I haven't heard from Alta for some time. But I guess she's living at Longview, Her husband is a banker, He has quite a fortune too. Leonard is now in the Fiji Islands. And he's gone forever from this land. He will always be broken hearted, For his girl ran off with another man. Letha is still an old maid, She has a beauty parlor in PeEl1. The town is not so large, Tho' she seems to b-e doing well. Eugene Ames is a mechanic, Working at that airport of Mike's. I guess he is quite contentedg That's the kind of work he likes. Well Keith, I wish we could visit longer, But we're coming to my station, So goodbye to you and Rosella, And good health to you and your relation.
