24 THE SILVERTONIAH porter who wanted the particulars of the recent accident. This reporter was M. Riches, who I learned was a journalist on the New York Sun. I had almost despaired of finding Homer Pittman, when looking thru the paper yesterday morning I noticed the an- nouncement of a concert to be given August 21, by the Pitt- man Symphony Orchestra. I attended the concert last even- ing and managed to get an interview with Mr. Pittman. He told me he had traveled around a great deal and had lost track of all his old classmates excepting Milton Knauf and Robert Cooke, who are progressive farmers in the middle west Hoping this information will prove helpful to you, I re- main, Yours sincerely, S.

Miss Miller, high school English teacher acted as coach, and deserves much credit for the suc- cess of the play. Many difliculties and delays in practicing presented them- selves but over-looking these, the Seniors succeeded in getting their parts as thorough as possible and the play was con- sidered a success. The Seniors were few in number but showed marked ability and pep in putting on this production.

THE SILVERTONIAN 23 been successful in locating those persons requested, I am send- ing you the addresses of each. Thinking that you might be interested in what your friends are doing I shall tell you and relate the manner in which I located them. Sephus Starr was the easiest to find because I have known him for several years, but did not know he was a friend of yours. He is at present a cashier in the First National Bank of Providence, R. I., and seems to be a commendable young man. A few weeks ago I happened to be in Washington, D. C., and While there met several members of Congress. One of these turned out to be George Shields. I told Mr. Shields the effort I was making in your behalf so he took me to see the Presidents private secretary who was none other than Miss Katharine Slade. My daughter helped me in finding two of the persons about whom you inquired. The teacher of language at the University of Chicago is Miss Pauline Morley and the head librarian at the Chicago Carnegie Library is Miss Lillie Ope- dahl. John Hollingsworth is a friend of my son and has visited at our home several times. Mr. Hollingsworth graduated from Yale and is now foot ball coach at that college. I ran across four of your friends in a very peculiar and interesting way only a few days ago. I was driving with an acquaintance of mine land also yoursl Miss Clarice Steen, who is a wealthy spinster, spending her time and money for charitable institutions. It was the noon hour and the streets were crowded with people coming from their various places of work. A lady starting to cross the street became confused and stopped directly in front of our car. Miss Steen's chauf- feur stopped the car immediately but the lady fainted from fright. We took her to a nearby hospital where she was taken in charge by a capable nurse. The lady who had fainted we later learned was Miss Vesta Conrad, head saleswoman for a Hawaiian firm. The nurse whom we met at the hospital was Annie Hobart. Miss Hobart informed me that Agnes Bock was a kindergarten teacher in San Francisco and that Marvel Nelson was a dress- maker in Madison, Wisconsin. I had just reached my home when I was accosted by a re-
