Ralph informed us. Due to her unusual ability the National Board of Education elected her to the important chair of secretary. which she now holds. and with many other degrees is her 'O, M.' Gladys, anxious that she should not lose her place i11 the conversation, broke in with an account of Slivers. Yes, Don. Velma is now in Florence, Italy. studying earnestly the famous works of art: and promises the 1918 graduates of S. W. II, S. a worthy representative in the world of ModernArt. Ralph, remembering C116 of our most studious. earnest. and helpful member of the class, asked if I knew as to the where- abouts of Ethel. I said, No. He laughed a. hearty laugh and then proceeded most joyfully. which caused my wonder to rise as to the cause of his humor. Yes, didn't you know that she spent five years in college after graduation, worked on the farm for three years. and then decided to start on her aspiring career, But say, how she hated to start in alone. Well, she had in those eight years absorbed her thoughts a great deal on the outcome of her courtship. Finally on a fine day in June, her hopes and desires were realized, and she accompanied by her husband left for a grand, inspiring tour in the Golden West, where she now lives among the Sierra Nevadas in an ideal mountain home. Last, but not least. of our old classmates is Arema. She. having embarked upon her musical career in high school, has since then realized her early ambitions. Last night in order to pass away my leisure moments, I decided to go to the Hippo- drome. Imagine my surprise when the stage director an- nounced the presence of America's best loved soprano, Arema Chadwick. Indeed she was worthy of her introduction. as I decided after hearing her. Gladys, yawning, broke a new thought, into our minds- that of the time. The clock was striking 2 A. M., and during this time. we had lived over briefly the lives of our classmates, the lives of the 1918 graduates from S. W. H. L'Good Nite. Don Jordan, '1S.

I remem- ber quite well when Gladys and I used to go up to get her so she would have company to the Basket Ball game and she 'd always give us a delicious piece of 'Angel Foodf Hilda has had many lovers but was never lucky or unlucky enough to get ally of the many.

He has 111ade a few discoveries as kill improvement to the gas engine but none of his successes has induced him to leave the farm. Mr. Smith married in 192-I to the surprise of all. She is a fat. plump and happy farmers wife. enjoying the old homestead and its enticements. Lyda says she asks for no more happiness, no more assistance than she holds on the es- tate of 'Smithyf expressed Gladys. t'Say, I have wondered for a long time where Jean is. but the other day when I was called upon by a lawyer to come and be a witness for a great lawsuit. I found the judge to be Wilbur Haley. Judge Haley knew me and asked all about us and the home folks. Pretty soon his ear drove up and he said that his wife must be coming. so he should hasten on. I accompanied him out the door and who should I see in that magnificent lnn- ousine than my old classniate, -lean Ilarshbarger. It certainly surprised me to see her in society. at least I supposed she was, for with her she had a small white poodle dog, and you know that is a good sign. She is President of the Ladies League in Chicago. and holds various positions of importance. I guess several things happened tho, I remarked.

You know they often said that there was nothing like being popular. and so at last their dreams have come true. exclaimed Gladys. Of all the most surprising facts that has aroused my humor was the sign I beheld while motoring thru to New York on my chicken truck. As I passed thru Collamer, I saw above the large department store. the notice 'Sickafoose Sa Howen- stine.' Merchants. The next place of business was also owned by one of our pals. 'Jake' Harshman. He now prospers in the

Why, answered I. I hear you are espeeially distin- guished in Latin. so I want you to help me translate this sen- tenee whieh we have been given tive minutes to translate. Very well, said Mr, Shiny-Fur, I'll help you. So while I told him a brief story of Caesar and the Gauls as an introduction his spectacles with his furetrinnned hand- kerchief and adjusted them on the end of his nose as all pro- fessors do. Yes, he answered. as I finished talking. I have acquir- ed all that knowledge by listening' to your class from my home in the wall there. and I have compared Caesar with our won- derful King Frisky Loiig-Wliiskers. who has been of sueh value to Blouse-Land: and the tiauls l have eompared with our ever- lasting enemy. the Kitty-Kat family. Indeed said I. Yen 1-l1't' very wise, so l'm sure you can get this sentence. Now listen while I read it. 'Caesar erat tcrtissiinus. et Galli etiainlu Uh! that's very easy. put in Mr. Shiny-Fur, t'aesar was very brave. and- and, say that just reminds me of King Frisky's bravery. You should have seen him make the army of Mr. Kitty-Kat run. VVhy when King' Frisky saw the Kitty' Kats eoming he turned and ran to eoneeal himself behind our Vlfheat Fortitieaticn. and the Kitty-Kats ehased him. 'I'hat's how he made them run-see? Yes. he must have been ve1'y brave. said I, laughing in spite of my impatience at his slowness in translating the sen- tence. But come. let's get the rest of this sentence.
