THE HOOSIER NINETEEN dawned upon rs that some people could improve so much, VVilmn. Lineberi'y Was manager of Woolworthls jewel y department at Mansfield. We always thought Wilmui had :1 great liking for beautiful jewr 8113'. All through our reading we had been wondering why so many of our former classmates had left Rnckville, but when we rezul that Marie Hay tMu'isl wzls residing in Marshall we knew the Lib cumstances were such that ltFiz could not come to Rockville, so, of course, Marie went to Marshall, We were certainly overjoyed to find that Margmet Laney aml Mary Frances Stryker Were both happily married; for we always thought that they would be old maids like ourselves. We have not been able to find with whom Miss Stryk- ei- united in marriage, but Miss Laney mmtied a prosperous business man of Wavelnudi W's know you will all be pleased, when we tell you that Leon Brown is one of the richest men in Indiana. Leon, :is most of you know, vowed, While in high school, that he would never marry a girl who took any part in politics. Of course he tliil-nlt mnny, and prob- ably it is best that he didnlt, for he lwechme u cn:penter null made beds in a hotel until he made his fortune. We never once dreamed that Ernest Frcml would become what he dinli, fnr now Ernest is a dancing teacher in Australia. He always had such striking mu's With the ludits of America, that lo dCt'lllell to go to Australia, anti, of course, he left many ladies with broken hearts. We are content with the above facts, although we always thought that he Would become an artist We turned several other pages of the Almanac in vain . Ah! Then our atten- tion was drawn by a picture whose backgi-onnd was of drifting desert sands. Beneath this picture was 3 fm- milizir name, Maurice BrzldficldlImagiue our surprise! He wore a long, droop- ing black mustache 21ml is now raising lflbblti in the Sahara. He is saving hurdas of money by feeding the rabbits .eucti and watermelon riurlvs. JEWEL BOBBITT. LAURA BRACKEN.

EIGHTEEN the heathen people to the Christian faith. Vile always thought that Frances and Virginia would do the Very best of Work. We were somewhat disappointed in the next stone; for Roy Stoops had a big fake sideshow act with Veul Broth- ers, Carnival. We uanys expected Roy to he .1 respectable farmer, hut thunk ell goodness that he wzts still alive. Josephine tBurncttl Beutty vlid just us We expected, for immediately after graduation, she and Shurley we:e marr ricd, tmd she is now leading a very happy married life in the city of Bridgeton. V lNe Were harllly satisfied with the next scene, for Bertha Smisenbaugh and Margaret Baker hail pilehasetl a small farm and were living a Very peaceful oltl maidti life, Claude Sapp was their hired man. tClaude always seemed to have a strong liking for the ladiesj We always thought that Margaret and Berr the would do more wozk for the coun- tryls benefit than to farm. Looking further, we found that DoroA thy Jeffries antli Murdell VanHuss were in Hollywood taking the important parts in all the leading pictures. It seemed that they had written letters uf application to the film pmducer of Holy lywood, letters which so impressed him that he decided to give the girls a tryrout. As we have said before, they were Very successful. We Were satisfied to fimli that Ken: neth Hockmzm was making a very good living for himself mill his wife, selling buggy Whips ou the street corners of Chicagoi We always predicted a wonde:fnl fu- ture for Rex Carmack, and can now easily say that our predictions were correct, for he now owns one of the largest tlrug stores in Sand Creek. Reading on we found that Weaver Miller antli Fred McNortau had had wonderful success, for they had pur- THE HOOSIER chaseil Chespeake Buy and were the largest oyster sellers in the world. Fred is not mui iwl, but sl101tly Lifter lcuw ing R. Hi St, W'cm'er united in nmri'izxge with Miss Ella lummings. We were very much surprised at this incident, hut We believe that lVeuver will always make a very good husband. Vllulter Burfonl-J one of 0m anil: notable ElftSSlanbCl'S, failed our expecr tntions, for, after his iiiarring'e il'ith ll certain lass, he Was heartbroken and retired to a desolate cottage in the county of the South Seas and refused tn see any of his former classmates. It is said that one duy, when so very lonely, he wrote a sad poem, called :tPnradise Lostill Julia Lloyd 11ml Miry Fryhetg'er were starting a chain of beauty parlors all over the United States, for it seemed that each of the girls had won, at lert, two contests, and, no doubt, their busi- ness will be pronounced a success. We always expected the following of Mary Taylor, Who immediately after graduation, united in marriage, nnd is new Mrs. Frushour. John Henderson Was making Wonder- ful wages washing dishes in n large hotel at Catlin, We think John lenrnell this trade while we were in our junior year at R. H. S, and served lunthoons to make money for the juniorrseninr reception. Emmett Baker and anzence Benty were coaching two of the strongest basket ball teams in Indizumt From all indications of the past, we knew that Emmett and Lawrence wouhl always support athletics. Clifford V1111 LElH' dill not surprise us at all, for he is married. and niztkes mm of the very best of husbands. He is, also, an excellent fnzmer. VVo will now surprise you, for Keith Ohaver 111d Clyde Spaw are experts in the Art of Penmanship We were as- tonished by this, because it had never r
