Why, it is Melba Steele of course, and she lives in Denver, Colorado. Obi Here is a letter from Ruth hdillikanf' Let's look over her shoulder and see what the letter says. Plymouth, Indiana, july 1, 1932. Dearest flfelba: NIy! how good it seems to be back in Plym- outh after being in Europe ten years. And how everything has changed. Especially our old classmates. As I got off the car a young man came run- ning up, calling, Taxi! Taxi Lady, do you want a taxi? And who on earth should it be but Lawrence Richards. I got in his taxi, which took me to the new Plymouth hotel. I inquired the prices of the rooms and when the clerk looked up I recognized Everett Jamison. I was dumfounded for I thought Everett would be raising onions out on the farm. But more surprises were still due me. On entering my room I found that there were no towels there. I rang for the head housekeeper and who should come but our old friend, Mary Cox. just the same old Mary and with the same gift of gab. I was quite overcome by these surprises and as it was rather late, I decided togo to bed. On rising next morning, I decided to go to the hairdresser in the hotel and who should greet me but our dear friend Gladyee Hollins- head and Lillian Roush was also present as an expert manicurist. VVhile at the breakfast table I noticed a beautifully dressed girl across from me and with her was a nice looking gentleman. Upon inquiring as to their iden- tity I found that it was Edith Boys and her husband, who is a prominent lawyer in Chicago. She met him while teaching fancy dancing in Chicago. I went over to them and we had quite a nice talk. We decided to look over the town together. Before starting out on our tour I ran into the First National Bank to cash a check. It seemed quite natural to see our old Treasurer, Gilbert Kizer, hav- ing charge of money, as he was cashier of the bank. On coming out of the bank we noticed Twenty-six a tall, dignified-looking gentleman and lady coming down the street. It was Charles Brooke and Clara Goodrich. Charles is now judge of the lVIarshall County Circuit Court, you know. Down the street we passed our friend George Kamp who is now manager of what used to be IVIike Ryan's clothing store. He informed us that Garah Richardson is making a tour of the central states, lecturing in behalf of the Anti-cigarette League and is making a success. Standing on the corner we noticed our classmate Donald Snider, usually known as Buss in our High School days. He was selling peanuts at a peanut stand. Of course, we stopped and conversed with him a few minutes and he said he sang at the Rialto theatre four nights a week. Oh! Melba, isn't it wonderful about Julia? Edith just asked me if I had heard about her and I said No, Edith told me she was now with the IVIetropolitan Opera Company and making a wonderful hit in the east this year. Located on hlichigan street where the Greek's Candy Kitchen used to be, we noticed a pretty little japanese Tea Room. This look- ed very attractive so we decided to go in there for lunch. Imagine our surprise when we were greeted by Louise Jones and Winifred Morris, who are the proud owners of this dainty little establishment. Just think, they're still old maids. They gave us some valuable information about three of our former class- mates. That Louise Hoham was living in California and is soon to be married to a Los Angeles banker. Also that her sister, Florence, is a teacher of language in Paris. And that Ruth Jackson is teaching English in the Plym- outh High School, as you know bliss Gal- breath has resigned. All this fairly took our breath away so we went back to the hotel to rest a while. About two olclock that afternoon I came down from my room and while waiting for the others to come I noticed our dear friend, Frances Cook. She said that she and her hus- band were staying at the hotel until their new home on Fifth Avenue would be completed. Of course, you knew they just moved here
