THE SYLLABUS 3H= ----------— ----------------------------------------- The next scene was in a school building, where I recognized Helen Griffin, who after years of study, was teaching Dramatic Art. She was exceptionally talented in that line it seemed. The next scene was in an open field. In the distance I saw something moving; as it came closer I saw that it was our former class president, Dale Hinesley. He was riding a tractor, after refusing the Presidency, he worked on a farm. That scene faded and I saw a tall stately farmhouse, with my old friend Helen Newby singing and baking pies. She had married her boy friend and settled on a farm, north of Sheridan. Then appeared a large flower shop and in it was Mary Newman and her husband, they were busy supplying the natives in Louisiana, with flowers. Out at sea I saw a large vessel sailing swiftly along, only one figure stood out and that was the captain. He was dressed ir. blue with a row of medals across his chest. As the ship grew nearer I saw that it was Kenneth Pettijohn, who after attending Annapolis, had fulfilled his boyhoed ambition and war. a mariner. The next scene looked very familiar to me, I saw again the man on the tractor and this time a woman ringing a dinner bell. The woman was Gladys Reddick of course, our former president’s assistant. Memphis Tenn. next appeared, where I found Elizabeth Stephenson in a newspaper office as society editor, having discovered her talent to lie in that direction. Then was shown a large tent with a monstrous sign in front “Spidel Pritsch.” lone and Joel after graduation had organized a circus and were cleaning up in the northern states. Jce was selling tickets while lone was training elephants. A broadcasting studio in Chicago heralded my next friend. I saw no one but heard a voice say this is WLW Sears Roebuck Station. I recognized the voice of Du- al Wallace. He had won a hog calling contest in Boone county and been selected for radio announcer. The last scene was out on Went Second street. There I saw sitting on the porch Neva Graham. She was reading one of her own literary works. She wrote nature stories for little children. I took my departure then, feeling happier after seeing the successes of my old friends. —W. McMurtry. 26
