He has made a million dollars in two weeks, so you see his books are in great demand.” Karl—“1 always thought Junior knew more about it than he expressed. Still water runs deep. 1 do believe that 1 will read the book myself, perhaps it will give me a few valuable hints, then perhaps 1 can win a fair mademoiselle.” Bernice—“That really isn’t a bad idea. Did you ever stop to think you are an old bachelor?” Earl—“And you an old maid ? Bernice—“Thanks, Earl. 1 never realized it before but it is true. As 1 was traveling through Spain last summer 1 noticed a poorly clad fellow with a burro and cart. The cart was full of oranges and bananas. Beside him was a senorita or senora. And who do you think it was?” Karl—“1 could never guess.” Bernice—“Dick Martinson and Wauneeta Simon.” Karl—“I never thought that Dick would ever leave his dear old farm in Tekon-sha, but perhaps he will get rich on tropical fruits. I hope so, he was always trying so hard to succeed.” Bernice—“As we have mentioned all the Seniors of 1924, also let us mention the teachers of that year. I understand Mr. Bailey is now President of Cambridge University of Kngland.” Karl—“1 am glad that he is doing so well. Mrs. Main, who was our English teacher is trying to make the American Literature book more perfect by adding a few more writers and poets. Mrs. arwick, mathematics teacher is running on the republican ticket for mayor of Tekonsha.” Bernice—“I do hope she wins. Miss Hcrschy, the Ancient History teacher, is still traveling around in the Durant Sport Car, while the Music and Art I eacher. Miss kuchenbecker, is publishing a new song book entitled, Do Little’. 1 hey say it is making a great hit.” Karl—“I’ll have to go to the music store and purchase the book. Well as it is already four o’clock 1 must leave as 1 have an important engagement at the Hotel LaRue. Before 1 leave please let me tell you what a pleasure 1 had in being able to have the opportunity of seeing you, and I hope to see you again when you visit America. An Rcvoir. Bernice Whittaker and Karl Letts.
