ff 'Al 1851 f9-'37 ion? It is none other than Peggy Harley, the girl who was the editor of our annual when we were seniors, remember? My, how hard she did work at it, but it never brought her as much fame as this ski-championship. They call her a second Sonja Henie on skis, and from all I've heard, she fully deserves the title. Our capable Martha Fox has proved herself to be just as capable in the role of Mrs. Clifford Lutes. She is living in North Manchester where Clifford is associate pro- fessor of Chemistry at the college. He took his graduate work at Harvard and has now turned out to be the dignified HJ owner of a Ph. D. Martha also finds time to serve the S. S. girls of Indiana as their Dean. Do you remember how she dreaded those oral themes in English class? Well, she has at least overcome that, for she now has to give several talks each month to numerous societies. Berniece Bayman, the girl who always enjoyed a good time, is known far and wide for her tasty chicken dinners. She has opened a new restaurant in town and surely knows and follows that old proverb that the way to a man's heart is through his stom- ach. She has grown a bit plump but is as jolly as ever. Beulah Snell, the curly redhead, has taken up flying as her career. I imagine that it is a fascinating one. I hear that she is planning a round-the-world solo flight in her trusty little airship. We all wish her luck. Oh, yes, and Bud Drake, I shouldn't forget him, the fellow who fell for anybody who would lead him on, has taken over the local printing plant since Mr. Stump moved to the city to become a big-time editor, and is now editing the South Whitley Tribune. I imagine that you will be surprised to hear that he is a confirmed old bachelor. His right hand assistant is Edna Myers, who is Mrs. Richard Striggle in her social life. She has most of the responsibility of getting out the weekly paper and does an excellent job of it. I believe that their are only two more that I haven't mentioned, Bill Striggle and Donald Reeg. Don has specialized in veterinary diseases and is now a full fledged veter- inarian, Bill has been breaking every girl's heart every time he comes home on a visit from the Navy. That song, There is Something About a Soldier, certainly would ap- ply in this case if you could only change the soldier to a sailor. And me, what am I doing? Well, I have begun to raise a pure strain of alley cats. Not just ordinary ones, but a new thoroughbred variety. There is quite a demand for them in the shady areas of the cities. Except for all night shindigs on the back fence, they are really a comfort to have around. If I could only get them to harmonize, it wouldn't be nearly so bad. Of course, this may not sound very romantic, but I am happy in the thought that I am at least doing my bit toward the betterment of human- iy. Sincerely, Lucia Germann 1. ff 'j,1-, f C259 1 Q, ' - , 2: -'Tfgi f PA fl E TWENTY-TWO

ff f-N2 1851 1.937 ' Winnifred Weiland, who was to be married m April of the year we graduated, left her only one at the brink of the altar and began to study medicine. She is now a prominent surgeon in a famous hospital in Canada. Working hand in hand with her is Sarah Benner, who is invaluable as a nurse. There is one time where a high school friendship has lasted. Picking up movie magazines these days ibut I don't imagine that you have much time for themj one frequently comes across the romantic poses of Mara Leen, a second Dietrich so they sayg but I believe you would remember her better as Joan Miller. Don't miss her in Love of the Laborlostf' By the way, Iheard that her 350,000 pearl neck- lace was stolen, and that she has asked Charles Krieder, the former A-number 1 G-Man, who now is a private detective, to investigate the case for her. Don't you think that he would make a capital detective? Several weeks ago when I went to Indianapolis, I came across Bernita Pulley, you remember that girl who always used to have the giggles ? Up there she is a noted palm- reader and everyone speaks of her as Madame Pulley. That was the last thing we all thought she would become, because in high school she always talked of becoming a Blues Singer. But you must admit that she has exactly the type of mysterious character which goes to make an ideal palm-reader. Down in the Ci1'cle, I came across an attractive beauty salon, called the Vi-El Beauty Shop and run ly those two girls. Viola Wise, and Eloise Lancaster, who were always late to school. When we three began talking they just about swamped me with questions because they were anxious as you are to find out where everybody is and what they a1'e doing. But one of the main reasons I came to Indianapolis, was to attend the Spring Show at the Museum of A1't. Among the scores of portraits exhibited, I found several by Berdena Ulshafer, who was so crazy about art in our high school days. Her paintings were done in the modern vein and truthfully I couldn't understand what they were in- tented to portray. Just so the artist knows is all that counts, I guess. Going into the photography room, I found a number of Mildred Van Deripe's choice black and white photography studies. However, I learned that she does this only as a hobby and that her real job is staff photographer on the Nut House Star. That camera club in high school ce1'tainly came to mean something to her. If you have a radio with you there in Japan, try to get short wave WIND, Cin- cinnatti, because each evening at 4:45 Blond Jony Myers fEdward to youj gives his daily sports commentation over this station. He can just about tie up with Floyd Gib- bons in his speech nowadays. The other evening he told about Virgil Arnett who now is the champion auto racer of the country. He contested in the national auto racing contest in Miami, Florida recently and came out ahead by five seconds. Some record! We always did think that he would make a name for himself some day. Speaking of champions, have you heard about the new International Ski champ- , fffv LC fc- KCCQCQN xkf' f ii: ,,f' Q1-...lg Ao--pn-1... K 1 c P c .. --Q2 2 PAGE TWENTY ONE
