theatres attracted my attention. Looking at the pictures in front of the theatre, I saw a photograph which looked very familiar. Upon examining farther, I saw it was Esther Kari, who had become famous as a fancy dancer. I decided to find her and upon consulting the manager, I found she had a beautiful home not far from the show. I im- mediately went there and luckily found her at home. We had a wonderfhl time talking over our old school days at the U. H.S. She served an elaborate dinner and invited me to attend the show. I must say she danced beautifully, quite fulfilling the promise of her high school days. After spending this delightful time with Miss Kari, as she preferred to be called, I went across the channel to England. T had taken a room in one of the large hotels in London, in the congested portions of the city. All of a sudden I heard a crash and some glass breaking. I went to the window and looked out to see what caused the con- fusion. There was a woman of about medium height standing by a little short man. He was holding some books and a ham- mer. I then went outside and to my great surprise I found it was —I know you all know, for who could be a suffragette leader but Aster Moore. I went up and talked to her, but she said she couldn’t wait very long, as she had some more windows to break. She introduced the little man as her husband. She said he was very devoted and took care of the children and did the housework while she was out in the political world. I was very sorry she couldn’t talk longer, but I found much about her in the English papers. My next visit was to the Sahara Desert. I don’t know whether our landing place could be called a city or not, but nevertheless there were a group of tents here. One of these was the tent of a group of philosophers, who were touring the world, interested in Hinduism, Mohammed- ism, and other eastern faiths. One of the women, a dark haired, still very young and at- tractive appearing one, was busily chatting with an Arab PAGE 18--“SEA BREEZE“

of the fourth year was eight, which were these: Hlvera, of the House of Miller; Dagny, of the House of Owen; Esther, of the House of Kari; Ksther, of the House of Hansberry; Jenny, of the House of Long; Gladys, of the House of Ramsey; Shirley, of the House of Caldwell; Aster, of the House of Moore, who now speaketh these words of wisdom unto you. So, it has come to pass, that of the ten and one who did enter this land in the nineteen hundred and fifteen, only eight will depart, for verily, verily, I say unto you, that broad is the gate and wide is the way that leadeth to the High school, and many there be that go therein; but straight is the way and narrow is the gate that leadeth to graduation, and few there be that find it. Four years hath the class of nineteen and twenty so- journed in the land and gathered the fruits from the tree of knowledge. Now, I say unto you, they depart hence to go each a Separate way to lands they know not where, to do they know not what. But it is written, ‘“How much better is it to get wis- dom than gold and how much better is understanding to be chosen than silver.’’ And now, may the blessings that ever attend the noble and good, rest and abide with us each and all. Class Prophery June 8, 1950. It was in the year 1950 while making a tour of the world, in an airplane, that I met all of my classmates of 1920. I remember the days we used to spend together at the U. H. S., talking about the airplanes. Little did I think that I would ever be so lucky as to tour the world in one. In my plane for the tour I decided to visit the Old World first and then tour the United States. I started from New York after an early breakfast, and landed in Paris in time for a French dinner. I rested that night and saw the sights of Paris the next day. While walking along the busy streets, one of the large “SEA BREEZE”--PAGE 17 er hel

Sheik. What was familiar about her. Where had I seen her before? Could it be Elvera? : ; , ; She was so absorbed in Sheik’s attentions and conversa- tion, that I with difficuty made myself known to her. I finally caught her eye, and with a smothered exclama- tion, she came to me and greated me cordially. She told me she had been disappointed in love and in Christian civilization so she decided to travel about the world, and study philosophies. Her youthful desire to spend time on the desert was accomplished. I left the next morning for Australia. Upon my arrival, I wished to send a wire to my mother. To my surprise, who should greet me in the telegraph of- fice but Dagny. She was chief of the Australian office. She said she could readily see that most women change in thirty years, as she hardly knew me. We talked a long while about our happy times in Seaside. I then asked her about her life. She told me she was married to the real Bishop of Ballarat and he had been dead two years. T then decided that truth is stranger than fiction, for who would have guessed that Dagny, out of all her suitors, would have chosen the dignified bishop. She contemplated bringing her three children to America for their education. She said although her happiest years had been spent in Australia, she wished the children to be educated in America. Although Europe is beautiful, I feel like Henry Van Dyke in his poem, ‘‘For it’s home again, home again, home again for me.’’ When I arrived in New York, I was besieged by reporters so I went up to the typist office. Who should be sitting behind the chief typist’s desk but Shirley. I noticed a diamond on her left hand, so I asked her about it and she said she was going to be married in about a month. She had been married once before, but her husband had been dead five years. She was now engaged to a wealthy New Yorker. I told her of my visit with the girls and she asked me to “SEA BREEZE”--PAGE 1%
