«l Marden Philips has opened a college in Superior and he is progressing very well as all financial troubles are attended to by his brother-in-law. Bertha still loves declaming. She always gives some declamation at our “Old Settlers’ Meeting. Marsella Gasser, that hlnndie from Cazenovia, is running a Beauty Parlor in China. No cosmetics are used. Ed. Spraetz is floor walker. Feme: “Yes, I remember, they used to go together. Ed. took her to the Kilhourn foot- ball game. About ten years ago Beatrice Ost went to France to study French. She used to rave away all the while in French. You remember, it was introduced in our Senior year. Anyway, last year sin? wanted to come home but when she got to Ellis Island she discovered she could not speak a word of English. Now she is attending first grade in some school in England. Our other Beatrice, Bea Roach, is drawing maps for History and Geography text books. Lucille: “Remember those wonderful maps she drew for our U. S. History Map Books?” Ruth Rindfleish has invented something which makes curly hair straight. My, what curly hair she used to have. The Hastings girls have opened a Grammar School. They always were so fond of grammar in high school. O—yes, indeed, also debates. Remember what silly questions Louis Stern used to ask in Physics class? He is now running a pineapple farm in Alaska. Do you remember Agnes Wilson? She was in our Shorthand IV class. She is demonstrating “More Face Powder. She urges all girls to “make-up.” Gertrude Thieman won a World Beauty Contest. All the movie directors are chasing her around. The last offer she got was $200,000 a week, but she is afraid that wealth will ruin her beauty. Our other shorty. La Verne Davis. is very successful in the running of the “Davis Old Maids Home” and Edith Bclin is head librarian in Podunk. Lucille: “Yes she used to take the library at 10:27 ami 1:25. She tried to keep order but was too easily kidded.” Jerry has become famous as “The Sleeping Drummer. But then, we often do wonderful things in our dreams. Of course, you haven't forgotten Francis Bechtolt. He is a great magician. We re all rather scared of him. Remember how hard it was to try to sell Gerhart Meyer an Annual in the play the staff put on? Well, lie's an old crab now and book agents are obliged by a swift kick out of his office. Howard .McCarthy is leading the idle life of a country “school-mam's” husband. Lucille: “He fell for Agnes right after she won the beauty contest in 1922. You know. Remember how angry Archie Christie got at Miss Leavitt when she called farmers “old I country jakes?” Well, now he is chief cook, bottle washer, and hen-pecked husband on a farm near North Freedom. Remember when everybody called Catherine Donahue the school teacher when she took Miss Saukerson's place. Well, she is still teaching first grade in Pumpkin Center. Lucille: “She always was teacher’s pet. Margaret Sporloeder is a surgeon and Viola Foss is her nurse. They operate on corns and bunions. Their first patient was Edna Meyer and ever since she wears size 10 shoes. You ought to see Dean Babb, lie fell into a smoke stack and he has never gotten his hair clean. Even his dog doesn't know him. Remember how we stole Forest O'Connor, lie graduated from the 1. W. last year. t present he is feeding hogs on his father’s farm. This letter is getting dreadfully long, and if I do not bring it to an end suddenly it will cost me ten cents to send it; but before closing 1 am going to try and give you an idea of Reedsburg. The old town is changing slowly but surely. Remember that auxiliary fire department that we had here when we went to school —well, they now have two real fire trucks and the Sorge twins do the driving. They go so fast that they get to the fire before it is even started. The Main Street Boulevard is all fixed up and you ought to see the flower beds and the variety of flowers that are on it. I know one thing that would surprise you if you were to come back and that is “Our New Park.” Our old park, the band stand in one part, the fountain of youth with the bull frog on the marble curbing in another, are things of the past. Our new park i- above r 11 • dam. 11 that I '' land has been filled in and now we have .i nice swimming pool, and some nice picnic and playgrounds which certainly let out all rememberances of that old muddy spot. But something that we all felt sorry over was the loss to Main Street of our Pea Canning Co. The mayor forced it to move outside of the city limits as a result of a petition signed by all Reedsburg high school Civics students demanding free and clean air. They certainly have cleaned up things. But before forgetting 1 must remind you of the fact that we now have a White Way in Reedsburg. Well. Lucille. 1 must bring this letter to a close as 1 am busy working on my Hope Chest. Coddles of love, from Your old classmate. IRENE MOW. P. S. Be sure and write real soon and tell me all about yourself. Pago Twenty-Eight
