H. S. There was a sudden ringing of the door bell. Upon answering it, whom did I find but Fern Cooper, The first question I asked was, Why, Fern, where have you been? Have you seen any of the other students of the class of 1925? She finally stopped my flow of questions by saying that she would start from the beginning and tell everything. She removed her wraps and began: Last July, Lyle and I were married and are now living in San Diego, California. We have the dearest little home there. One afternoon, last summer, when I went to San Fran- cisco, I met Clair Carey and he told me that he was interested in the manufacture of seedless raisins at his home in Topica, China. I received a letter from Ruth Lauer last week and from the way she wrote, a romance is about to end with wedding bells chiming for her and Calvin Leis. A little over a month ago, Mildred Becker, who is teaching Piano Lessons in Honolulu, arrived at San Francisco and came to see me. She is still the same Mim, but she sure can tickle the ivories. - Suddenly there was another ring and who was there but Audreth and Carl. This couple was on their honeymoon and came to give us a call. For the evening's entertainment we decided to go to the Opera. The first number on the programme was a musical reading by Sir. Humphrey and Lady Laufaugh. I had never heard of them before and was anxious to see them. When the curtains parted, Fern' turned to me with a little gasp, Oh, look Mae! It is Howard Post and Dorothy Miller. Well of all things, I exclaimed. Audreth and Carl were as much 'surprised too, for the last that they had heard of them they were still in Spencerville. Howard had succeeded his father in the Bank. Our small party managed to meet them all the stage door. They were much surprised to see us. We then went to the Waldorf Roof Garden for lunch, but who should we run into but Leonard Kleinoeder and Charles Albright. Leonard 'was Manager of the Chicago International Machine Shops while Charles was his Assis- tant. Leonard told us that Mary Sunderland is still keeping a Beauty Parlor in Spencerville and that Mary Jamieson was married to her Roy three years ago and that they were the proud parents of a baby girl. There was still greater news for us. Thelma Eisley, Gertrude Reed and Mildred Rabley were teachers in Hawaii. 1 After lunch we departed. The next day Fern and I drove to Brooklyn in my car for a pleasure ride, but we were not prepared for a surprise that greeted our eyes. As we turned a corner we approached a sign, printed in large letters, Full Blooded Bull Pups For Sale. Come in for Prices.--Maurice Cole. We stopped and visited about fifteen minutes but we received a great deal of information in that length of time. Edgar DeLong was the star foot ball player at Yaleg Leonard Leis was private secretary to Harold Weaver, known as Sherlock Holmes the famous detective of Clevelandg Nellie Fritz and Ethel Reynolds were demure little nurses of Toledog Esther Purdy is a Modiste in gay Pareeg Vic Neal, who missed so many school days, is now Truant Officer of Allen County. 1 1 -. 1 1 .... 1 1 .- 1l'1..1.-u..,.1ll1.u-,g1n.. 1 1 101.141 .-qp1lq..'.1m.- 1 ig.1.q1u 17

With the ringing of the bell, Freshies were seen going helter-skelter everywhere. But we were soon rescued by our pilot, Mr. N. H. Stull, who proved to be a faithful pilot and a jolly companion. N a splendid morning in September, 1922, we boarded our little plane for a 1153.55 ' . . . ' 23211: 4 On the plane we were given a place on the left. Oh! how we dreaded to pass over the threshold of our abode, for some upper classmen were sure to tell us how green we were or ask us if we were lost. Nevertheless, we became accustomed to the clouds and sailed along smoothly until exams were announced. It looked as though there would be a grand thunderstorm, but our compass pointed straight ahead and on we went. With the rustle of paper and the scratching of pens we passed, one by one, after which we received our pay envelopes. The Seniors showed their appreciation of our company by giving us a party and served some wonderful cake. Finally our Freshman days were over, during which we lost two of our classmates, one who passed into the Valley of the Great Beyond and another who embarked on the stormy sea of matrimony. Vacation quickly passed and we started on the second lap of our journey. This time Mr. Livingston was our pilot until he deserted the shipg then Mrs. Stull took charge and cleared the clouds away. Again the grim reaper invaded our crew and we had to give up another one of our dear classmates. This year we shared in the fun of treating the Freshmen. We felt very important even though we were only Sophomores. Another September and we are Juniors. This has been a year of real smooth sailing with Mr. V. O. Toile as our pilot. Our class was represented well in both boys' and girls' athletics and our class play, Kicked Out of College, proved to be a splendid success. Now, we hope no serious accident will detain us or mar our flight and that we may take the lead next year and carry on for our old High School. 18 .11
