THE PAPYRUS '23 building larger than any surrounding it. It was, McCabe's Sanitary Wholesale Com- pany. We imediately alighted from the car and went into the grocery. Esther Cl1tlI1,t know us at first but soon recognized us. Why, hello, Herald! hello, Clarence. How are you? Why all the bandages? We told her the story of our accident and reviewed our aquaintances, then went on farther until we came to a large office building. Upon entering we discovered an office inscribed, Att'y-at-Law. G. Norris. We went ing greeted him, and asked him about the city and why it was it had grown so much the last fifteen years. He: said, very soberly, The professional men have been the bocsters of the cityf' From this un- cordial speech he evidently felt himself much above us. With some trouble he told us how the Reformatory was furnishing the town with citizens and how a big Manufac- turing plant was helping to build it up. I asked him who owned the factory. When he told me that Otto Crosley and Arthur Stanly owned it, I was not much surprised because back in their school they had given great promise of a brilliant future which had noth- ing to do with books. What are they manufacturing? I asked. They are manufacturing hair nets and switches. After resting awhile, for we had become very tired through the exertion of walk- ing around, we started toward the Manufacturing Company. We entered the ofiice and the first person we saw was President Otto perched upon a stool and Arthur by his side, looking over their books with tousled heads, as they used to do when they struck upon some problem in physics. We had a good chat with them and started toward the door to inspect the plant when suddenly somebody shouted at us from the opposite side of the room. We turned and advanced rapidly toward a large oflice desk and who do you suppose we saw? it was Betty Wainscott, their private stenographer. We inquired of Betty where we could get our dinner and she said that two old friends of ours Paul Hughes and Ward Jacobs owned a restaurant across the street. You may believe that we did not delay a minute. When we entered the restaurant, we found it full and the proprietors not in sight so we crossed to the lobby and interested ourselves in the Pendleton Times. In a few minutes Paul came over to pay the respects of the house. Suddenly he piped up, Hello Clarence and Herald! Ward quickly appeared on the scene and we four ate and enjoyed a good dinner, After that we decided to go to a show. As we walked along the street we saw one called The Stellizf' We were not surprised Zto find that the owners were Stella Kramer and Elizabeth Seybert. When talking with them we learned that Thomas Harrison had owned a science labratory next door but lately had perfected his patent for a perpetual motion machine and had retired to Huntsville where he taught Voc. Agriculture. T We also hear that Irma Kramer had located in Lapel, as owner of a large furniture actory. Robert Jones, now a great chemist, I was told could not be convinced that germs were poisionous. So, as the story goes, he drank some milk which contained deadly ones with the most serious results. After recovering, he became partner of Russell Koeniger in the building. and management of a canning factory in the small but pros- perous town of Huntsville. Helen Van Hoy, so I hear has changed her name to-well you know--and is now the proud and happy mother of three delightful children. Ger- trude Alley has taken a position at Purdue as teacher of Home Economics. Cecil La Fuze, who as you know always held the honor of being one of our best musicans in High School, is now director of one of the largest symphony orchestras in the world. Helen Rider is now chief nurse in the infan't ward of a famous sanitarium in Los Angeles. Ralph Studley has bought the controlling interest in the Anderson Herald and has become a very prosperous business man, as we expected him to be from the hustle he assumed in delivering his papers before school, long ago. Adella Reichart is a sister in a convent near Vera Cruz, Mexico. Helen Rogers has taken a position at Anderson teaching Physics, but strange to say her name is not Rogers any longer. On account of Pauliena Gaither's general knowledge, she has been chosen as teacher of other teachers in the Chicago Teachers Institute, where we hear she is pulling down a high salarv. Herald and I spent our last days in the city of' Pendleton very enjoyably, and we learned many interesting things. However our plane had been repaired during our sickness and we had no excuse for staying longer, so we prepared to return to Cali- fornia. The morning we were to start was very bright and clear with a few white clouds Floating by occasionally. Several of our old classmates were there to see us off. The only stranger among them was Myldred Longtoff' who was sketching a picture of us. When everything was ready, Herald started the motor and the plane raised grace- fully from the ground ,leaving them waving and shouting below us. Harold Caudell, Clarence Faust Page 21

H. S.- A HAPPY ACCIDENT Already, Herald 7 Yes, contact. And with a twist of the propeller, the motor started and we were off on our flight across the country from California. We sailed up and up until we came to the height of the highest clouds, then we sailed on and on for hours. Suddenly our motor burst into a series of backshots. We worked at it the best we could in the air but were not able to find the trouble. We began to fall rapidly. We could not see where we we falling because of the fog which had gathered. As we were nearing the earth, our plan righted itself somewhat, but not enough to avoid accident. We were undoubtedly coming to our end, and tried to prepare ourselves for it. As we figured it out afterward, such a terrible thought caused us to faint and when we struck the ground we did not know it. At any rate the next thing I knew I was in a white cot in a hospital ward and the sun was shining in from the west. My head ached terrificly and I found I had a bandage around it. On glancing around I saw a nurse standing over a bed with her back to me. When she turned around to give me attention, I recognized the face but couldn't call the name. She said, Why, hello, Clarence. Are you awake ? Then I knew it to be Katherine Keesling. She told me all about the accident and also that Herald was injured pretty badly but would recover. She said we would have to remain in the hospital for about three weeks. Presently Katherine left us and a doctor came in. I was never more surprised in my life, there. stood Lawrence Muriin! We shook hands gladly and he told me that tomorrow he and I would talk about all the old timesg but before I let him go I asked him the name of the town and he told me that it was Pendleton. . Pendleton! I said. My, it has been a long time since I was here-almost fifteen years. I'll sure have a lot to ask you. And then Lawrence, bade me good night and I went to sleep. The next morning and much of the remaining three weeks. was spent in talking and thinking about the good old school days we had spent together. When Herald and I were able to get out of doors again, we told Lawrence that we were going up town. He laughed at us and said it was almost two miles tor town, and suggested that we walk two blocks and catch a city car. Of course we were sur- prised at this, but found that what he had said was true. When the car came to a stop, the motorman looked around and we recognized Elbert Gustin. Hello, Gus, Herald and I cried together and he almost ran past the crossing in the zeal of shaking hands with us. We told him to come around and see us at our hotel the following Sunday. , When we reached town the first familiar name we discovered was inscribed on a Page 20
