THE OLIVE AND GOLD 4 a great talker when one got him started, even back in high school days. I was reading along when my eyes alighted on an article which left me completely astounded. This was what I read: Clifton Odell, the world's most and best beloved shiek of the movies was making his greatest picture and one would be able to hear him on the Vitaphonef' That is one movie that I would not miss, because wasn't he quite a shiek way back in high school when Marie Lambdin, one of the underclassmen, thought so much of her shiek in the Senior class. An- other article informed me that Secretary of Agriculture Durward Hunt and his wife, the former Cecile Edminson, were visiting old friends back in St. joseph. Well it is as I always said and thought. It surely is queer how a class can be broken up and the members lose track of each other in just a few years. So just take some advice from a light-hearted Senior and make all the friends you can while in your high school years and do your very best to keep these friends for some day you will realize what they can do and mean to you.

THE OLIVE AND GOLD Csenior Glass glfophecy As I was a nurse I often had many queer cases to care for at any time they happened to be brought in. But the queerest one that I had ever taken care of dur- ing my stay here was that of an old class-mate, John Boys. You see Johnnie was one of these heroic and dare-devil aces of the air and a day or so ago he was brought into the Augustana Hospital here in Chicago, almost in pieces as a result of a jump from his plane and the parachute failing to open. This occurred while returning from a date at his fiancee's Palm Beach home. As he improved we talked over old class-mates that had graduated from that Great House of Knowledge, St. J.C.H.S., in the year of 1929, the same year that Johnnie and I had graduated. While in Paris giving exhibition parachute jumps, Johnnie has seen Hila and Vestal McCarty there on their honeymoon and Elizabeth Christein Keller was there seeking a divorce from Shirley, the boy with whom she was going while' in high school. She was seeking her divorce because Shirley objected to her serving canary tongues for breakfast continually. 'Then think of it! Hallie Harris Van- dervort was there with Elizabeth and she was also seeking a divorce from her husband, Orville. You remember how Hallie and Elizabeth always did everything together, don't you? It seemed that while in New York John had seen Walter Hart, the world's featherweight boxing champion, defend his title. His manager was none other than Jimmie Hoyt. Then John asked me about some of the other girls. I told him that Elsie Weaver was married to her boy friend, Olie and they had two of the sweetest little boys. Florence Swearingen had married Ted and she also had two children, a little girl named Guinevere Estella and Teddy, Jr. They came in to see me very often for they seemed to like to come to Chicago to see Florence's sister and me. Gladys Worley was one of the greatest singers in the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany and at that time she was visiting another of our old class-mates Julia Wil- liams, a stern and haughty old maid, then living alone in St. Joseph operating a home for strayed cats. As John was not supposed to talk very much, I made him quiet down for a little while, but he just couldn't keep still for he wanted to tell me where Clark Youmans was. Imagine my great surprise when he said that Clark was one of these old dignified Latin teachers in the Oxford University and Henry Penrod was also in England. He was a great lawyer in London. Then I picked up the newspaper to keep John from talking, as he was always Little I ask--My wants are few. Page Nineteen
