Don't get so Highty, Boyd. Speak- ing of extremes, when I was out in San Francisco last winter I saw Strohm Emerson, Lester Kern, and Fred Rebman. They are in govern- ment service, toog deep sea diving in the Pacific. Say, Tom, hand me me that old Schenley Journal and we'll go over it and see how many we know about. Here is Hilda Anderson, she and her husband, a minister, are in China do- ing missionary work. Arenson? VVhy, he belongs to the firm of Arenson and Claster, Attorneys-at-Law. Honest ? Certainly not, they're first class lawyers. I understand that Ruth Baxter, Kathleen Brauman and Julia Lukas are playing in 'The Devilishness of Dora' at the Nixon in Pittsburgh. Say, Pat, before you go any further, pass the smokes. My wife says I have to stop smoking after the first of the year, so I am making up time. That's a clever looking ash- tray you have. Yes, Tom, wouldn't you like to know where it came from? Remem- ber Phyllis Pfouts? Well, she made itg she and Peg Clark have a studio in Pasadena. Peg's husband is a famous baritone, but Peg has so many domestic cares that she doesn't have time for anything but taking care of the children. Here's our old friend John, he's a retired million- aire. Guess he learned how to grab money when he was treasurer of the 13 class. Of course you all know that James Cupps is Secretary of the Treasury. Does any body know any- thing about Jim Eggers P Sure, he was Harvard's star half- backg it's rumored that he is engaged to one of the members of our class. There's Bob Eiler, I heard that he's engineering a goldmine down in South America. You know that he almost got in wrong-he was accused of murdering the manager of that company that made our class rings. How about Bonnie Fitzgerald F Oh she, Jean Frank, Jean Wright, and Clair McKay, and Frances Gold- man, too, are leading lights on the National Committee for Woman's Suffrage. While we're speaking of Woman's Suffrage, do you know that Eleazer Levy as governor of Penn- sylvania and Howard Schmeltz, State Treasurer, were instrumental in getting votes for women in that state P Gee, I'll bet Earl Tatum and Paul Kesel don't like that very Well. My goodness! here's our friend Dave Hill. I've heard that he's a VVall Street financier and spends his win- ters on his alligator farm in Florida. He drove over to Washington in his Ford about a month ago. They say john jones has become very popular since he discovered how to make artiiicial eggs for twenty-five cents a dozen. The Johnson sisters? Oh yes, they have a studio together, Helen is a poetess and Elizabeth a novelistg they are quite a famous pair. And here is Lois Linhartg I never thought I would live to see the day when she would be president of

C. li-li A large limousine arrives at the presidential mansion and a footman assists a rather distinguished person to alight. This person is none other than Robert Lintz, Secretary of State, who has been asked to make an informal call on the President. He is ushered up to the President's library by William Porter, well remembered for his charming manners and polished politeness. In a few minutes the door of the library noiselessly opens and Bob rushes forward. Well, Boyd, old man, I'm here in answer to your call 3 gee, it seems good to be informal for once. Take a seat, Bob, retorts the now famous Boyd Patterson, I want to talk over old times with you. You look fine, it takes us old bachelors to keep spry, doesn't it ? You're right, Pat, but say, do you know whom I saw today? None other than Eleanor Riesmeyer, Anna Espenschade, and Dorothy Lane. Do you know what? Theylre running a seminary for girls and were taking some of them to the Congressional Library. Eleanor is so much thinner than she was when we went to Schen- ley that I hardly knew her. Is that so? Well, since we're speaking of the old crowd, I saw Martha Lobingierg she's married to one of the senators and lives in Wash- ington. She said that Thomasine Rose was visiting her, taking a much needed rest after a successful season 12 in New York with the Follies un- der the management of Bill Ewart, Don Foster, and Garey Dickson. Boyd's private secretary enters. The Ambassador to France to see you, sir. Very well, Brunton, Cyes, it's Joel show him in. Hello, Tom, what's the news ? Oh, things are about the same as usual. VVhat do you say to a game of pool ? Sorry I can't accommodate you, Tom, but I haven't had the pool-table fixed since you put those holes in the pockets. Hand over the paper, I want to show you an item that may interest you. How's this? 'Young Ameri- can Who Wishes To Change His Name Wins Case In Court.' It says that Frank Gatto, judge of Common Pleas Court, grants Casimir Crrajew- ski permission to change his name to Smith. Grajewski's case was in the hands of Raphael and McKinley, eminent lawyers of this city. Well, I can go you one better than that about our class, turn to the back of your paper, see those cartoons 'As you Were' and 'Signs of Spring?' Well they're drawn by our friends Fred Fischer and Mildred Bauer.- For goodness sakes, what's that un- earthly noise ? Why, where have you been all this time, Bob? That's either Kenneth Lockwood or John Blythe, they are

I don't know what became of her, but she must be at the head of something with all that exe- cutive ability of hersg probably she is bossing her husband around. They tell me that Emilie Laubie and lean Miller are teaching music in Balti- more. Here are Eleanor Matthews and Ruth Marson. They have per- fected a scheme whereby meals may be mechanically cooked, thereby giv- ing the housewife a chance to gad about all day. Oh say, did you know that Katherine Pringle is a famous comedienne? Yes, she and Bill Murdoch and Ted Stockslager are masters of the art. Why, in the last audience they played before, two men laughed so hard they haven't straight- ened their faces out yet. If you fel- lows want to read some good novels and poems, read Irma Robin's latest works-they are surely thrilling. We certainly had some artists in our classg for instance, here are Bertha Schewe and Dorothy Shef- field. Bertha modeled that bust of Mr. Rule over there by the window. Has anybody seen him lately P Yes, he was here for my inaugu- ration. He at last had the chance of leaving his duties as Red Cross Direc- cor for Armenia and coming to Wash- ington for the occasion. fBrunton entersj A message for Mr. Lintz, sir. QBob reads itj Sorry to break up the party, but I have to go back to the office immediatelyg the Russian Am- bassador, Rosenberg, has an appoint- ment with me. I'll see you again, fellows. So long.
