In passing through Salt Lake City, she discovered the only scandal of the class when she met Boone Horne who introduced her to his wives, formerly Myrtle Key and Mildred Jones. On the train she saw Renfro Lesley, who was on his way hack to Spain, where he was president of a large trading company, which position he had acquired on account of his extensive knowledge of Spanish. n Word had come that Harold Jenkins was soverign commander of the W. O. W. and Ida Craig'was teacher of Latin in Africa. Mona Summers was driving an air mail liner from Quanah to Dallas, and Gertrude Willis was sheriff of Hardeman county. Edith Hanna and Kathleen Reeves were teaching in a deaf and dumb school on the Island of Yap, and Annie Laurie Brewer was in the Hawaiian Islands-a missionary. But the climax of surprises was reached in Mr. and Mrs. D. Cox. Mrs. Cox, nee Mary Rogers, was drawing for Bud Fisher while Mr. Cox was President of the United States and on account of his fondness for ladies his cabinet was composed entirely of women. -Ruby Colfer.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHE Y To be sure, Dr. Wayne Williams is a scientist of international note but he has per- formed one experiment in regard to sleeping sickness that has never been given to the public. And I was the subject. Having become infected with the bacillus restlessness, and tfe bacterium Wanderlust the day before I received my diploma from I-I. S., I had drifted away into the land of dreams from which I was recalled by the insertion of an idea through a hypodermic needle. I opened my eyes and saw standing over me my old school- mate Alice Specht, who was dressed in a nurses uniform. 'iwhere am I? and Who got the scholarship last night? were the first questions I asked. 'iWhy, Ruby, you have been asleep almost fifteen years, she said. During the days of my convalescence she gave me the additional chapter in the lives of many of our classmates. They had scattered over the face of the earth. Many were filling long cherished dreams, others had done things that were quite different from what we had expected. The physician to whom I owed my return to consciousness had chosen for his life companion our own Dorothy Mozeley, and they were living in peace and prosperity, serving society in a noble fashion. Norene Cope was guardian for seven distant cousins that had fallen to her care. She lived in utter seclusion on a farm, fourteen miles northwest of Quanah, where Alice visited her and found that 'iAnything for charity, was her motto. Dora Lewis was another who had retained her maiden name. Though she had been saleslady in Baker I'Ianna's store for over thirteen years, she was especially interested in the wholesale department. Elice Griffith, purchasing agent for lVlrs. Walton, had just returned from New York, where she saw a show owned by I..ona Vestal, in which Ruth Crowson was leading lady, and it was the hit of the season on Broadway. She heard Gussie I..ainer, the most noted pianist of the day, play at the Metropolitan theatre at Chicago. On her return home she came by the way of New Orleans where she met Ruby Thacker, chief of police of that city. Galen Givens and his wife, formerly Johnnie Wheat, are carrying on the drilling on the wheat well which they expect to bring in as soon as the salt water is cased off. J. Berry Robertson, a confirmed bachelor and president of the First Guaranty State Bank, had just recovered from an operation for appendicitis. All of the nurses vouched that he had retained some of his high school characteristics, such as, playing hands with the girls. I..orene Winbury, his stenographer, has bought herself some chewing gum and made one of the best business women of the town. Alice spent her last vacation in California, where in Los Angeles she saw Beulah Mahoney, Ruby White, Fay Hood, and Jessie Cass, who were bathing beauties for a motion picture company.
