taking care of the triplets. We were leaving the University when we met the jan- itor, and who should it be but Robert Hightower. About this time his assistant came along, and much to our surprise it was Jack Woodward. Barnes Circus was in town that night, so we decided to go. Our first stop was the Side Show. Emma Fryrear was leading a group of four Hulu-Hulu dan- cers -- Ellen Wood, Edna Mullins, Emma Helene Burnett, and Alma Starbuck. The fat women of the Side Show were Grace Cooley and Ada jane lngledew. Frances Snell was the Snake Charmer. By this time we had seen enough of our friends, so we left the Circus. We wanted to visit a night club while in the city, so we hailed a taxi to take us to our destination, and much to our astonishment the taxi driver was Grace Whited. After several narrow escapes we arrived at The Rose, afamous night club operated by Almeda Sydenham, Thrills and heart-throbs, the dashing footman opened the door, but to our disappointment it was no one but Floyd Simpson. He begged our pardon, but he said that he thought it was Almeda's chief bootlegger, Otha Eggleston. Myldred jones rushed up to us about that time and told us that she was the hostess. She escorted us to a table, and then told us that her assistants were Edna Beauregard, Annice Barnhill, Iva Beck, and Frances Kuhn. The orchestra then appeared with Paul Vaughn as director. Lucille Rob- bins and Emory Leason entertained us with a Spanish Tango. The Read sisters then favored us with a vocal duet. Help! Help! Three masked gunmen had entered at one of the dramatic moments of entertainment. We knocked over the tables in our wild desire to tear the masks from their faces. Horrors there stood Mervin Aude, jack Critchley, and George Curfman. They tore our gownsjust as the police detective, Arden Stanley, rushed in. We hurried out in order to avoid publicity, and went to our hotel nearby. The new night clerk, Lois Swift, had just come on duty. Early the next morning, we went to the Modiste dress shop to replace the gowns the gangsters had ruined. The proprietor, Allen Doveton, greeted us and called Arthur Hutchinson, the chief designer, to assist us. As Arthur was busy designing a gown at this time he called Elwin Hyatt to wait on us. The mannequinswere Merva Mae Aude, Freida Ashinofsky, Eunice Sneddon, and Agnes Vigil. As we had shopped all morning, we were very hungry so we went into 'fThe Ratzlaff Underwood Restaurant , Gerald invited us into the kitchen to meet his wife, Mable Elliott, who washed dishes for the restaurant. Mildred Sandberg was chief cook with Eleanor Rupp as her assistant. After lunch, we boarded a street-car and made our way to the Rich theater. We stepped up to the ticket office, low and behold our old friend Bill O'Brien was selling tickets. Bill informed us that Richard Law was the owner of the theater, and Dorothy Davis was his manager. We entered the theater, Wal- do Spencer, was taking tickets, and Edward O'Connell was his assistant. The usher, Lucille Burns, showed us to our private box, which Richard had so kindly reserved for us. The show was very entertaining, for we were entertained by the famous singer, Roberta Robbins, who sang, Where is My Wondering Boy Tonight?' '

CLASS DIQDDHECY One evening as we sat gazing at the flames in the fire-place, we noticed one of the flames burst forth and a little old man stood before us. Come with me into the land of the future, he said. We readily agreed to this enticing invitation for adventure. Much to our surprise, who should we see but Marion West and Charles Gustafson marching up the aisle of the church, to the strains of the Vfedding March. George Rout was to tie the knot for the happy couple, in the Little Church Around the Corner. Lloyd Shonyo was seated at the organ playing the sweet strains of the Sappington Wedding March, composed by the famous musician, Margaret Sappington, one of our old Classmates. We left this loving scene and passed a large crowd coming out of another church. Thinking it might be another wedding, we made our way through the crowd. Much to our grief we found that it was the funeral of the one and only Scientist, Douglas Corlett. He had experimented too much with Listerine. Will- oughby Undertaking Parlors were in charge. The funeral was too sad so we pro- ceeded on our way to the home of Alma Nance Williams - Dunlap - Kiley, thrice married and twice divorced. She was happy with her latest catch, as Joe had be- come rich on Wall Street. We decided to visit Harvard, and who should we find but our old friend, Clarence Sydenham, who was instuctor of English. Clarence told us that he and Berniece Ralston had been married for three years, and that Berniece was at home

As we left the theatre, we bought a newspaper from our old friend, james Welch. The headlines told us that Virginia Jay had donated a large part of her fortune to the Home for Blind Mice. Merle Howard had been appointed keeper of the mice. Virginia had made her fortune through ubootleggingf' On the next page we saw a large picture of our old friend, Marguerite Hegler in an advertise- ment for The Blue Print Hair Dye Company. The next ad was an advertisement for the famous King Monkey Farm. We decided to visit this farm and upon our arrival we met julian Luna and his wife, the former Nellie Stancato, who were the caretakers. Billy informed us that his fiancee, Evelyn Rogers, had gone to Egypt where she was a Missionary. We started back to the city and a motorist knocked us off the road, and when we arrived in the city we went to the office of a famous lawyer and found that it was our old pal, Leonard Skipton. His private secretary, Margaret Pringle, told us that Leonard was in conference at the time with Ernest Phillips, who was a famous dancing instructor. Margaret also told us that our football hero, Charles Turano, was teaching the savages of Africa the famous game of Tiddly Winks. We were worn out from our travels by this timeg so the little old man took us to our own fireside, and said, Farewell, l will see you again in ten years and tell you the changes that have taken place in your fellow-classmen since this ad- venturef, FINIS R.

This ship that hurries us on and on Whether we will or no, Carries rich treasure E'en without measure If we but wish it so. What is the wealth this old bark bears As she runs before the breeze, Deep in the old hold Like hoarded gold Are school day memories. --Margaret Pringle.
