THE TATTLER had the privilege of seeing the famous bearded lady, but of course, we above all others, could easily tell that she was Marion Hammon. We were informed that Elva Primm had become a nun and was devoting her life to the good of others. We were also told that Percy Wilcox was touring the country as a public speaker, choosing for his subject “The Defects of Tobacco” in its many phases. From Oregon we proceeded on our way to Idaho. Here we found many of the 1926 Seniors, especially in and near St. Anthony. W e had the pleasure of meeting Reed Coffin, as well as many of the others. Reed was one of the leading employees in the “Big Window Washing Company” of St. Anthony. Here in the fertile Snake River Valley, we also found James and Elmer Ludlow making a fortune at truck gardening. V e learned from the Ludlows that Burton Stevens and Burt Root were doing fairly well— Burton as the chief plumber, and Burt the outshining blacksmith of the community. While visiting here, we were told that Ross Farnsworth, due to his ability as editor of the Tattler, had become the chief editor of one of the leading 1 papers of Twin Groves. Of course, Twin Groves was no longer a village. Here we entered one of the leading style shops and found the owner to be a very quiet, stately, dignified person and upon looking more closely, we recognized her to be none other than Jennie Meredith. We learned that Lois Neeley had gained a fortune from her famous poetry, pop- ular throughout the world. At Idaho Falls we saw Marie Hobbs and Mary Stanford engaged in the mar- celing business for “Males Only.” In Pocatello, we met Beatrice Hudson, where she had attained the acme of her success as an artist. She was traveling with the “Taylor Players,” putting on their “make-up.” We began our return trip, but, while crossing through Montana, we were forced by a severe storm, to land our machine on the rolling plains. We walked three miles to the nearest house, where we were greeted by the foreman of the cattle ranch, Dean Tracey, and his assistant, Austin Green, both typical western cowboys. After the storm, we proceeded on our way. In Denver we met the well-known social reformer, Gazelle Sorenson, who was speaking against the evils of modern dancing. On the streets of Kansas City, we met the noted Dr. Ard, who is well-known for his skill in dentistry. Wayne told us that Gilman is an Ambassador to Germany. By this time we had had a very enjoyable trip. We had seen some of the 1926 Seniors and had heard of the others. Thus with much satisfaction we returned home to resume our own respective duties, and to dream of the cherished memories of 1926. 1926 r- — — -j [ 19 ]
