Land, no. I hain't had time to read nothin' this morning. Good! You go ahead with your work and 1'l1 read to you an account of a party held down at our old home town. 'The Senior class of 1925 of Pleasantville H. S. held a class reunion at the Auditorium Armoury last Saturday night. Each one present gave an account of his career after graduation. Mervin Enochs, who was very anxious to tell of his adventures, laid all manners aside and took the floor first. 'After I received my diploma I left for Africa. There I fell in love with a Cannibal queen. I began to think that I was a regular Valentino, but she kept putting me off till I finally returned to America, heart-broken. I'm still living in hopes, thoughf With tear-dimmed eyes Mervin turned to Herbert Brown and asked him to talk next. 'NVell, in 1927 I became proprietor of a tomato-canning factory. I was successful and in a few years I bought a tomato plantation in Alabama. W'hen my crop of tomatoes was being shipped across the Ohio, a strong wind upset the raft, and I suppose my beloved tomatoes are still at the bot- tom of the river. Bankrupt, I went about searching for work, but was not successful until I took up my present position, that of a married man sup- porting a small family at Bucktown, Ind., Immediately after Herbert took his seat, Forest Mounts began telling her experiences. 'Wheii a junior in High School I had a romantic dream of sometime being an ideal housewife. My dream never materialized, for I am now living the dreary life of an old maid, siting by my fireside with cats as my only companionsf Next to relate his success and ability was Mr. Delbert Smith. 'In 1930 I became Czar of the movies in Hollywood. VVhen I first began to act I was infinitesmal among the many distinguished characters. Now I am counted the most handsome and most popular sheik among the actors. I am a superior dancer when I dance with my intended wife, Dorothy Swiss. the most beautiful of all actresses. Please excuse my grandiloquent lan- guage. Mr. VVillard Andis, you may have the privilege of speaking next.' 'Well, thanks, but I hardly expected you folks to recognize me. Wlien the Independent B. B. team went to Wasliiiigtoii, D. C., in 1929, I looked at a Model Dancer in a theatre so long that I became cross-eyed. When I tried to play ball I ran against the wall. When I awoke I was in the State hospital for the feeble-minded. I became uncontrollable and pulled out all my hair and broke my false teeth. After I was cured, I came home, but even Vivian turned me down., 'VVell, that is too bad., said Mr. Emil Richards, 'yet not much worse than my unfortunate life. I got niaried but I've not seen a minute's peace since for Blanche is so accurate with the rolling pin-' Emil broke off short and Delmas Moore was next to break the silence with, 'Ever since 1926 I've been living the dreary life of an old bachelor on a 'long green' tobacco plantation, down in Louisiana, fighting tobacco wormsf nn-qllul..-........1.I-.1...-..lui.........u1g....l1.l-.........1..inf: 1 - 3: :Ae f .4::i:u1-an ::-W:--u I :I-0:4 .1u1u1q, l l ll I l J l ll E ll l H i H I l li l l 5 ll jl I I ll l L l I l i -E 44-
