“What, jou didn’t hear about it? She has been married several years now and has a very dear little girl and her husband couldn’t be any nicer to her. What, oh, he is a rich banker there. “While there we were taken out riding in Clarence Kaiser’s car. He is agent now for the Buick auto, the same that he was so interested in when attending Prairie High. “You heard about that great murder case in Milwaukee didn't you? Well, William Smith is the leading detective. He is in the secret service work of the government. “I next started for New York but on my way there I stopped off at Niagara and while there I heard Raymond Slamer lecture. He is a very famous lecturer and people go many miles to hear him. “I finally arrived in New York and Susan Doner met me at the train. Marie had told me she was there so I wired her to meet me and she did. She is head fitter for the National Cloak Company. “She said that she has often seen Milton Gremore, who is a dancing master, teaching the latest dances in a large dancing parlor there in New York. “From New York I went to Boston and while there I took in one of the largest moving picture features ever shown there. Ellen Ward was the leading lady. I understand she is a noted actress now and commands a large salary. “One evening I attended a concert by The Boston Symphony Orchestra, and you can imagine how absolutely bewildered I was to find Gladys Herold their Soprano Soloist. “I thought you would be surprised to hear that. Yes, I went to Washington next and visited the capitol, where James Sime is serving his country as United States Treasurer. He told me that Florence Milheim is private secretary of the President, and that Lewis Potratz is a wireless operator for the government. “No, I didn’t stop again until I reached Florida. I stopped at Pensacola, where they have the large university for girls. There I found Eleanor Ziel, teaching German, Latin, French and Greek, and they say she is one of the best teachers the University has ever had. She took me all through the buildings and while looking through their library I found several books written by Lucy Nickerson. She is a very popular author and her books are read in many countries. “When coming home I was seated very comfortably in the parlor car when some one sitting opposite me attracted my attention by continually looking at me. “Becoming annoyed, I returned his searching look and who should I recognize but Irvin LaBonne. He told me he had recently fallen heir to a large fortune and so was now taking life easy. “Goodness, is that six o’clock? I had no idea I was talking so long. Yes, it was an interesting vacation, and I did enjoy seeing all our old classmates. “But I must hurry home to supper. Goodbye Ethel! come down to see me before you go back, won’t you ” —Beulah Peacock. Page Twenty-Five

Class Prophecy “Hello, Ethel! Yes, I’ve just returned from a trip of several months over most of the United States. I heard you were home visiting so I came up to call on you as soon as I possibly could. When did I get back? Oh, I have been back just a week tomorrow. But tell me now what are you doing, I am anxious to know. So, you have risen to the position of Head Nurse in the Mercy Hospital in Los Angeles, Have you? That’s fine, I am so glad you like your work. WThat news have I heard about any of our classmates? Well, I’ve seen or heard of practically all the members of 1917. “I met Arthur Beuthin in California where he is the manager of the largest film house in America. And would you believe me! Wallace Brunson is one of his Comedy Stars “From California I went up to Oregon and Washington, and in Portland, where I stopped for a few days, I met Clara Boldt. She is teaching Domestic Science in the largest high school of the city. In Spokane, Wash., I found Zalus Copper, a vocal teacher in one of the high schools there. “On my return east I spent a few days in Montana and learned from a friend that the same J. D. Lough that was in our class, is a wealthy and prosperous ranchman of that state. I didn’t have a chance to see him as I could not stop off long enough. “Oh say, I just happened to think of something I wanted to tell you. I have been having some new gowns made and when looking over the fashions I found that Dorothy Borgerding is a leading designer of Ladies’ Fashions now and that her patterns are used in Paris almost as much as the Paris styles are worn in America.” “While spending a day in Minneapolis with friends, I just happened to pick up “The Suffragette Weekly,” and found to my great surprise that Edna Dahmer is the editor-in-chief. “Oh, of course, coming back to our own home state, Wisconsin, I suppose you know that Hazel Finney is Physical Director in the Wisconsin University? What, you didn’t know that? Oh yes, and I hear that she is very good too, and say, Daniel LaRiviere is our most up-to-date farmer, and they say he raises the best crops within a radius of many miles. “I stayed home a week and then started out again. I went to Chicago first to get me a new suit and some things I needed and you just can’t guess who I saw there. Well then I’ll tell you, it was Catharine Gillitzer. She is the head model in the cloak and suit department in Marshall Field Co. I met her there when I was picking out my suit. “Have I seen Marie Ivers? Oh yes, I went to Milwaukee to attend a lodge convention and while there was entertained by Marie at her home. Of course you knew she was married. Page Twenty-Four
