REUNION AFTER TWENTY YEARS UST two short weeks ago, as I sat at my desk at the Fort Worth Times office, I became reminiscent and wondered about my old pals of high school days-where they were, what they were doing, and how they had risen in the world. Like a flash, visions of a reunion of my old chums came to my mind. and I decided that a banquet for the students of the '26 gradu- ating class would be a most effective way of bringing together those who had tread the halls of Poly High in days gone by. The vision became a reality through my announcement by radio of the affair to be given a week later and through the arrangement with Mr. Parker for the banquet hall of Poly High. I was the first there, for I longed to welcome my old friends back to Fort Worth. I had not long to wait. The first to enter was Mr. Parker. Although I knew it had been twenty years since I had seen him, it was diffi- cult for me to realize he would change so much. He was now getting to be an old man and was forced to use a cane. Although his face was covered with a long white beard, I could see shining through, the same jovial countenance. After we had exchanged greetings, my attention was attracted by an old lady who was being rolled into the hall in a rolling chair. You can imagine my surprise and consternation when I recognized our old sponsor, Miss Martel. She had to be rolled in a chair, as she was so feeble she could not walk. By this time the guests were coming in so fast that I had to greet them hurriedly and hurry to my notebook and pencil. There was quite a stir as our old class president, Frank Lindsey, arose to take charge. His name had been mentioned for governor. He began our ban- quet by calling upon Forrest White, who now is president of a chain of stores of men's most immaculate clothing, to give a few yells. Forrest seemed not to have forgotten how to yell, nor to have lost any of his old-time pep. Frank then called upon some of our most prominent citizens of Fort Worth for talks about their work. Very interesting talks were given by Mrs. Elson Von Strausberg, president of the Y. W. C, A., whom I recognized as Tressye Ellis: Mr. Boyd Manning, Frank Lindsey's campaign manager: Mr. Albert Flynn, manager of the New York Giants ball team. Between the speeches we were entertained by Jack Walker's eight-piece orchestra. In the personnel I recog- nized Margaret Bullock, Ben Collard, J. W. Hewitt, Carlos Smith, DeWitt Thomas and Richard Irving. In Mrs. Strausbergs talk she mentioned some of her co-workers as Alton Ruth Whitaker and Margaret Moore. Mr. Flynn introduced some of this best men as Vernon Pampell, Paul Crouch and Cato Hightower. At this point the proceedings were interrupted by a telegram received from Madison Ciarland, major general of the United States troops in the Hawaiian Islands. He said, although he and Lieutenants Harold Reigle and Robert Currie were detained in Hawaii, they were with us in spirit. We were then entertained by a vocal solo by the noted opera singer, Velma Branham. At this juncture there was a lull in the conversation. Two 1926 vaudeville stars entered. I recognized our old friends, Alta Smith and Leown Record. After the conversation had been resumed, we were all startled by the buzzing of an aeroplane outside. We all sat breathless, watching the en- trance to see who had arrived. It was Marguerite Oliver, who had been in Paris, studying art. While all were exchanging greetings with Marguerite, I chanced to look around the table. Here and there I was able to recognize some of my friends. The first ones that I noticed were Esther Covey and Malcolm Killian, who were happily married. My attention was then attracted by one of Poly's most be- loved students, Everett Kenelly. He was now one of the biggest newspaper men in the South. When Everett was in High School. he always told us that he was on the brink of a great career, and now we believe him. I was then attracted by a group of movie stars at the far end of the table. They were sur- rounding someone who seemed to be quite important. I looked closer and rec- ognized Harvey Bradshaw. Judging from the number of girls who surrounded him, who were, by the way, Elizabeth Russell, Lorene Shaw, Clara Sullivan and Audie Bailey, he seemed to be a second Valentino. My reverie was disturbed by the entrance of three policemen, two of whom I recognized as Lowell Robbins and J. D. Sitchler. At first all seemed to think they had only come for the reunion, but we were soon convinced that they came on business, for they marched to the head of the table and presented a warrant for the arrest of one of our most prominent classmates and other members of his party. We were very much chagrinned and asked to see their warrants. As we read them, we found that Frank Cooper was the famous leader of a radical political party, the personnel of which extended into the Inner Circle of Poly's old students: Chalmers Callan, Furman Ivy, Harold Parker, Hal Wright and Clinton Morton. They were arrested on the charge of arousing the people of Fort Worth to rebellion against Ma Ferguson, who was serving her tenth term of office. While the confusion was dying down, I again tried to find out the where- abouts of some of my old friends. Eleanor Stark, who was principal of a famous society school in Washington, gave me information in regard to some of the old students who had risen in the world. I learned that Marcella Sprouls had married the Duke Bois de Ville and was the leader in the fashions of Paris. This I learned from Ruby Meissner, who had recently made a tour of Europe. She also told me that when she was shopping in New York for her tour, she visited the shoppe of Madamoiselle Evelyn Carter and was shown gowns by the models, whom she recognized as Nellie Frantz, Vivian Meyners, Robbie Russell and Aline English. I was informed by Nedra Cooper, whose recent spectacular marriage to one of the most successful and wealthiest men in Cuba, was a subject of discussion in society and a front page story for Irene Gregg, society editor of the Washington Dispatch: that Nina Taylor and William Dimock, although happily married, were carrying on a flourishing business in St. Louis as beauty experts, and that Leo Robbins was a living advertisement of their famous marcels. I also learned that Helen Bateman was the president of an old maid's society: William Dickinson was a contor- tionist in vaudeville: Ruth Evans was a model for a very exclusive woman's 1926 store, and Alice Ewell was a clerk at an information bureau in the Grand Cen- tral Station. I learned from Mr. Parker that Nell Caldwell and Virginia Medford were teaching public speaking and music in Poly High, and were very successful. Maybelle Ciarrison, a very successful chiropractor, told me that Anna B. Dalrymple was touring the country, lecturing on cooking. A conversation dotted with exclamations and very emphatic words made me turn to see Frank Cooper in earnest conversation with James Thompson. I learned from the conversation that James was a very successful lawyer, and that Frank was trying to persuade him to take his case. His secretary, Reba Mae Feemster, was taking notes as to price, time and place. Reba Mae had just been to Chicago with her employer on a law case and told us that Bertrand Heflin was a professor in Spanish in the University there. She said that she learned, while there, that Clifford Anderson was a civil engineer, and the Rhodes and Vinson Stock Company was very successful and had recently em- ployed as their head bookkeeper, Nannie Lou Hall. She also told me of a very unusual happening at College Station: Janie Dee Plunkett had been elected president of A. and M. College, the first woman ever honored by that position. We were all greatly astonished at the entrance of our next guests, for who should appear but Mary Frances Kell, Johnye Hightower, Josephine Lipscomb and Kathleen Cain dressed in the uniforms of Salvation Army lassies. As Kate Philips, the physical director at State University, began to tell me about others of our old friends, we were interrupted by the entrance of a party of missionaries who had just returned from China: Mildred Johnson, Jewel Ruth Miller and Mildred Young. Almost at the close of the banquet it was whispered around that Virginia Everidge and H. M. Kight were eloping in H. M.'s car, so we all rushed out and arrived on the scene just in time to see them drive away. This ended our banquet and all prepared to depart, very grateful for our good time. Although it was l o'clock and I longed for a few hours' rest, I went di- rectly to my office, as I realized there was much work yet to be done. Pk Pk 114 bk And now as I sit here at my desk, each scene of the banquet hall recurs to my mind. I lived again those happy days in Room 314: I wander through the halls: I sit in the classrooms: I watch again the changing moods of my be- loved teachers, but I am brought back to earth from my dreamy flight by the realization that this event must be Written up and sent to press in time for publication in the morning paper.

The first was an imitation of a wedding with various funny-paper characters as attendants. The Sophomore Class presented Marjorie and Kennedy Orr. who furnished several musical numbers. Robert Keith played on the banjo and sang a number of popular songs. The Juniors presented a drama in which everything was represented by a live charac- ter. The story was one of romance with Harry Jeane Boone as heroine and Lonnie Carruth as hero. Last was the Senior stunt. Eleanor Stark and Johnye Hightower appeared as em- ployees in a beauty shop. They were very interested in a famous actress whose clothes and ways they wished to imitate. A cus- tomer. portrayed by Aline English, arrived and was given a facial and manicure. but their interest in her waned and thoughts were upon the famous actress. The customer left with the statement. telling them to charge to the actress of whom they had been talk- mg. The Freshman Class won the prize for the best decorated table and tied with the Juniors for having the best stunt. The Senior Banquet was attended by teachers and parents. and a large number of students and former students of Polytechnic High School. Jack Walker's orchestra fur- nished the music for the evening.

There is no other organization that has half as much pep as they, and many of the school honors have been won by them. For instance, they drilled December 14, which was the coldest day of the season, on Dillow's School Campus. The boys could hardly hold their guns because of the severe cold. But Poly Cadets won the Honor Company Banner over all the Cadets of the city. The next thing they did, to make Poly hold her head a little higher, was to win a loving cup at the Rialto Theater. They won it by the general applause of the audience, which goes to prove that they are the most popular of the city. Our Cadets are very thoughtful and appreciative. They thought so much of the retiring sponsors that they gave them a farewell party in the gymnasium of the school and all the sponsors and officers of the city were invited. To add to the attraction, Colonel Sumner attended. On March 15, a party was given by Corporal Wood for the squad that won the loving cup. He entertained in his home and the boys all had a good time. On April 9, they had the Competition Drill at Central, and won third place, however, every one saluted Company E, for they had been adopted by the Optimist Club. On April 30, the Cadets were given a box supper, just for being good little boys. I lQZ5 ETIC WB FOREWORD COACH LEISSNER IN H15 TWO YEARS AT POLY HIGH HAS BUILT SOME TEAMS OF WHICH WE ARE VERY PROUD.
