and are each holding positions on the faculties of some of our leading col- leges. Their subjects rather contrast than compare, however, for Elsie tells us that she specialized in instrumental music, and Inez tplease excuse my using the given names so freely; really, it seems we should all be back there in good old T. U. H. S., where we considered it propery we learn, has reached the stage where she is considered an authority in chemical engi- neenng. Mattie Franchini, whose unchanged ways and smiling face occasioned this happy meeting, says she has acted in the capacity of saleslady all her life. We were pleased to know that she had advanced to the position of chief sales manager for one of the largest cotton manufacturing corporations in the United States. This is a very brief history of my Classmates, but I humbly submit it, that this happy meeting may interest some who remember the Class Of 1921, With apologies for my poor composition. When I left good old T. U. H. S. I had much confldence in my executive ability, but my literary talent seemed lack- ing. When I came to Chicago and was offered a position on the police force, I accepted it. By serving faithfully and by my natural ability I have held the same beat throughout my service and in two months more I shall retire on a pension. Walter Covington, ,21.
