Other and varied occupations were told of. First was Mary Tomer, Tennis Cham- pion of Illinois, next, Bryn Guernsey, giving a series of U. L. A. lectures on Matri- mony, then Edith Andrews, a trained nurse in the Oberlin Hospital, and Andrew Rybar a minister in Milwaukee. Katherine Haston was an oratorio star, and Irene Dana a teacher of voice in the Conservatory, while Carolyn Klinefelter had continued to run a girls' dormitory. Marie Groves had attained the enviable position of Registrar of Ober- lin College, Libby Gilkeson was president of the Oberlin Imperial Club, and Joseph Morsell was pastor of Rust M. E. Church. A Raymond Sperr had gone on the Lakes as second mate on a freighter, and Bob Robertson was pilot of the City of St. Ignacef' which makes two trips daily around Mackinac Island. Bastel had been seen in Omaha with a suit case, in which, he confided to us, were the makings of a flourishing business-that of perfume, soaps and toilet ar- ticles. , The remaining members of our class, Ruth Howe, Marion Petty, Alta Solether and Jetty Jarrell were all too busy attending to household affairs to. come to the reunion, but sent their best wishes to all their former classmates. Having heard all there was to hear from each other, the sole survivors started in a body for the first exercises of the Ninety-Seventh Commencement of the Academy, stopping first to shed a few briny drops over a small green mound 'neath the willows, at the head of which was an inconspicuous white slab bearing these sad but significant words: Here lies Antwa, 'neath this stun,-it Was the Annual that done it.
