Class iPrcplu'cu I was traveling on the train from Chicago to New York, when I happened to glance up from the book I was reading and saw—yes, it was the face of Leona Pyre. She was sitting directly across the aisle from me. With Leona was Fred Bittner and they evidently recognized me at the same time, because they jumped up, too. Well, after the usual greetings of absent friends, we began talking about the old class of ’23. I learned that they were traveling with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and that Fred had received the gold saxophone at the Pan-American Exposition. I asked about Blanche Paris and Anita Tesar. Leona said, “Anita is traveling with the Redpath Chautauqua, and Blanche is living in California, the head instructor of music at the University of California.” “I received a letter from Virginia Lengst the other day and she is now a famous dancer,” I said. “She told me that Mildred Shaw and Gordon Kieser are in partnership, having succeeded Howe Son in the old home town.” “Woodridge Dyer is floorwalker in one of the many Woolworth Ten Cent Stores in Chicago, and Leslie Clark and Edward Reiser are champion boxers. Charles Sime is a famous orator,” Fred informed us. Leona said, “Agnes Conopa is married and living in Eastman. Yes, June Hayden and Marjorie Lewis, the inseparable chums, are both at DeSoto, where June and her husband are running a fruit ranch, and Marjorie is a public speaker.” “The other day I heard that Melba Lawler is working in her father’s store in Lynxville, which has increased in size,” I said. “And did you know that Dorothy Fox has joined the Follies in New York? Thelma Swingle is running a millinery shop in Bridgeport, Wisconsin. Dawald Craig is a Geometry teacher at the University of Wisconsin. Probably you remember that Donald Howard, Stanley Marousek and Elmer F'uka always chummed together. Well, Stanley has gone abroad to study, Elmer is a druggist and Donald is an artist in Paris. Surely you must have heard of the ideal ranch Donovan Glenn has out west. I have noticed advertisements of it all over the United States. Albena Zeman is head nurse at the Montana Hospital at Havre, Montana.” “Yes,” Leona said, “did you hear about Harold Shaw? He is a walking advertisement for E. W. collars. Jesse Mecum is an instructor at the Milwaukee Engineering school, and Mildred Schultz is a professional dressmaker in Chicago. Gertrude Silberschmidt and Gladys Allen are stenographers at the Capitol at Madison, Wisconsin.” Then Fred said, “George Wing is sole owner of the Prairie du Chien Creamery I told them, “Margaret Finley and Vesta Turk are both teachers at LaCrosse, and Grace Ackerman is married and living down south.” Then we heard the whistle blow and we knew we had arrived at our destination. We parted, hoping to meet again soon. —HAZEL WETZEL, ’23.

The Snphomares’ Jlcsirc to Ttisr to Fame The Sophomores gathered about their Round Table. Some were grave, some jovial and some serious in the attempts to propound the weighty question of ‘‘How to become famous.” Clemence Gremore, the president of the class, addressed her fellow-classmates: ‘‘I will win fame, dear friends, by being an orator. What are the rest of you going to be?” Viola Muller—“I am going to be a bookkeeper.” George Foley—“To become famous one must aspire high. I shall climb to M Gregor Heights next summer.” Clarence Ahrens—“I’m going to be a farmer.” Frances Barney—“I believe Latin is the very door to fame.” Murilla Campbell—“I just don’t care. If I get my lessons every day, isn’t that gaining fame?” Louis Cornford—“If there is any fame left after the rest of you have all you want. I’ll appropriate it.” Eva Delap—“My eloquent eyes are enough to make me famous.” Joseph Dolan, after a long pause—“Guess I’ll read books.” Stella Favre—“I’ll borrow fame.” Elma Fisher—“I don’t know, I haven’t thought much about it.” Violet Fogai'ty—“I guess I’ll stay on the farm.” Esther Gallagan—“All my injuries received in basket ball won’t impede my progress to fame.” Oral Goff—“I’ll conquer the world by my stick-to-it-iveness.” Beatrice Finley—“Suffragettes are all famous, therefore, I’ll be a suffragette.” Eva Herpel—“M - talent in music will be an opportunity to earn fame.” Clarence Jambura—“I’m striving for the presidency, and if that isn’t the seat of fame, what is?” Clifford Kaber—“After I get through with history I’ll conquer the rest of the world.” Sophia Karnik—“I’m sure that after all my hard work fame will be brought to my door.” Theodore Kimball—“I guess I’ll be a movie actor and live in Hollywood.” Hattie Larson—“Basket ball is all I think of now.” Kathryn Pierce—“I’ll be a teacher.” Joseph Marousek—“I’ll be a carpenter.” Marguerite Noggle—“I want to be left alone.” Christina Schinko—“Guess I’ll be a teacher, too.” Lewis Schnug—“I am satisfied to try to be funny.” William Standorf—“Mail clerk for me.” Clarence Ziel—“I’ll be a cigar maker like my dad.” George Foley—“Madam President, I move we adjourn so that we can start being famous.” Clifford Kaber—“I second that motion.” The President—“All in favor say I.” As every one was in favor, the meeting adjourned. —SOPHIA KARNIK, ’24.
