24 Paxton High School Reflector ' I'em Years Hence March 15, 1930. Dear me, this has been an exciting day for an cld woman like me. Just at lunch time, the doorbell rang and of course, the m ment i left the r join, my darlings forgot all their table manners—and such a commotion! I thought that I recognized that person who stood outside my door, and who wished me to buy an Encyclopoedia. The minute he began to speak, I r cognized him as my old friend Dean Ireland—he still had the same “line' he had when a student hack in old P. H. S. l’ai sure we were Loth disappoln'ed in each (..her, especially when he found I was the owner cf a heme far homeless cats. It seems that Dean soon tired of Chemistry (probably due to his overstudy in P. H. S.) and had taken up this occupation cf selling books as a new and altogether absorbing business. Of course, I invited him in and I spent the most enjoyable af.ernoon. By comparing notes we located most of our old classmates. Of course, Florence Bear corresponds with me and is quite a noted designer. The last 1 heard from her, she was designing most of Cady Duff (Jordon's creations. Dean says that Larry Sackett is quite a vaudeville star and by his songs, which he has composed, has made quite a fortune. I remember Larry's motto used to be “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” That evidently has proved a good motto. Agnes Barnes, who is known as Frankie” in Greenwich village is a favorite model for all the most prominent artists. Agnes' wonderful eyes evidently are to blame for her popularity as a Bohemian. Of course, we had both read of Pauline Berquist's success as a suffragette. I heard her making speeches from a soap box, right in the buisest part of Chicago, urging people to vote for Mamie Prestin for our next President. I certainly shall change my politics to vote for Mamie. Dean has just heard Charles Jensen in “II Trovatore” and he says he is wonderful. I certainly want to hear him as I always did have an ear for good music. Sylvia Funk is now with “Ringling Bros.” as the world's most famous tight-rope walker. If I could leave my dear cats long enough I would surely go to see that circus. My old friend Hazel Horner is a bareback rider in that circus also. Lois Moffett is now a prominent leader in the Salvation Army. We were sure Lois would be a success in those good old days in P. H. S. when she studied so diligently. Maurice Levin, so the Tribune says, is now in Russia and is a leader in a movement to make Russia a true republic, modeled after U. S. A.
