THE STUDENTS’ VOICE 9 I was speechless, and before I regained my composure 1 nearly ran into a very slender woman. Lottie seemed acquainted and I also for that matter for 1 was nearly deafened by the slender woman screaming, Why Dell, wherever did you fall from? Don't you know me? 1 am Frances Thayer that was, but now Mrs. Adomeit. But tell me of yourself—and won't you come home with me?” 1 thanked her for the invitation, but declined stating my reasons and also briefly describing my life and after affectionate farewells we parted.

8 THE STUDENTS’ VOICE purpose she asked with what class I had graduated. I answered, “1908.” She uttered a little scream and wanted to know who I was for she was of that class. So had twenty years changed us. “Lottie Schroeder, she told me after I had given my name and asked her her's. She had taught in Plymouth five years and latin was her specialty, she told me, and I was not surprised for was she not an expert in the old days when but four out of the Senior class had the courage to read Virgil. Cyrles now was principal. Lottie began to give me the biographies of the whole class. “Mary Vinall is in Pekin with her uusband,” she remarked. “Who is her husband?” inquired I. “You ought to know.” I smiled. Yes, now I knew and I was not surprised. “Grace Bussard is president of Southern College and Ralph Rinard is property man of the great Vinkim Binkim Theatre,” my informant continued, after tapping her pencil at a small group of Senior girls. “Lester is an evangelist. Frank studied to be a minister but gave it up and is now ‘pitcher’ for the White Soxs. “Nestor Rhinehart became a trained nurse to aid her brother in his work but later married one of his professional acquaintances. Glen Worthington runs the Weekly Chronicle here. “But what about Ruth Leonard,” I impatiently broke in. “I am not sure about her but I will find out in a second.” “Charles”, she called. A young man plainly a Senior came to the desk and in answering Lottie he said: “Uncle Robert and Aunt Ruth are living in Chicago.” I know he must have marveled at my smile and at his Latin teacher’s giggle. Here the dismissal bell rang and after shaking hands with the principal I asked Lottie to walk back to the station with me. My companion continued her biography. “John,” said she, “is a well to do farmer. Lyrel the year after we graduated visited her brother in California and there met her affinity. Dessie Easterday is not married; she was dis- appointed in love. Mae Scott is a widow but her husband left her a great deal of money and she plays the character of Lady Bountiful.” Here we passed an imposing looking house and naturally I wished to know whose the residence was. And here I never thought to tell you,” Lottie exclaimed. “Judge Goodrich lives there. “You don’t mean Allen?” “Yes, and he is considered the greatest jurist in Indiana. He married Hazel Adams,”
