With intense interest I read of the ways fate had dealt with there sons and daughters of Oroville High. Pauline Speese, it seems, has achieved a part in A1 Jolson s newest musical comedy. We always did enjoy Pauline’s actions. Muriel Wirth has just returned from making many excavations in New Mexican pueblos.
