Lucklessu. which took us to Los Angeles. Here we received the biggest surprise of our trip. We were hardly off the boat when wc heard of the famous screen actress. Isabelle Speer. Vife went out to her studio the next day to renew acquaintances and she received us very hospitably. At brst she got us mixed up with Richard Dix and Ramon Navarro. Vwlhile roaming about the studio we saw a familiar face who turned out to be john Sisler. He was engaged in making a comedy entitled Cut in the Street from 'lThe GIll'lW2IHCmIlUIQ Haven . He told us that Clarice Brockmeyer was also in the movies. l'Ie said she was playing in Al Christie's latest comedy Oh, Miia, VxIhere's The Safety Pinsf' She also played in Wild XVomen of the Vx7orld hy Lord Craven. Vx7e hired a high powered motor car and started for home P. C. B. ffull of beerj. XVC were on the outskirts of Denver when something lit looked like a carb coming from the opposite direction. smeared us and dislocated our sense of direction, then lights and utter dark' ness. Wlaen we came to, we were in nice white iron beds and next to us lay 'xjoeu Nichols who we learned ranlfinto us and inussed up our complexion. Outside of a broken arm and leg. three fractured ribs and black eye joe came out without a scratch. Our nurse came in just then and it was little Nlarie Reynolds who assured us that we would be able to move in at least six months. so our trip came to an abrupt close. Howeveu. we hope to be able to see more of our friends in the future but until then we hid you farewell. -GEORGE HODGSON, GERALD VOYE. EVENING SCI-IGGL SN'T this a magnificent theatre?

They invited us to stay with them hut we wanted to visit Egypt, the land of beautiful scenery and-fwomen. Vxlhen we arrived in Cairo there was a hig parade and celehration in progress. We asked a passerby the reason for all the commotion and he told us the Shrek of Blllll'H2ll'1lf1 had captured the city. NVe immediately sought an introduction and to our surprise we were introduced to the Shrek, none other than lvlilton Klein, the old Academy heart heaker. NVe wondered how he had happened into such a role and he informed us that Bertha Daumer and lxdarjorie Kooser were chasing him so much he iust had to leave America.

A party of students Linder the supervision of ,lessie Beck, now a school teacher, was giving the sights close inspection. Jessie forgot her dignity and 1umped with loy twe always affect them that wayj upon seeing us, The students also were glad to see us and they certainly were a jolly hunch, They poured glue in our hats to show us how much they liked us. As we were looking around, a plane flew overhead hut seemed to he in trouhle. It landed near us and we discovered that Howard Holt: and Cunard Hedherg were the aviators, also on a tour of the world.

THE EAGLE During a convention in Pittsburgh a few months ago I met Margaret Qualters and her hubby. She is married to her former employer. the Director of Labor and Industry. Quite a romance. Also Helen Osterman. wife of the Chief Boiler Inspector at Harrisburg. They told me that Teresa Creahan. who is now a famous portrait painter, has a wonderful studio in Har' risburg. By the way. why don't you arrange with her to have her paint your portrait? While in Washington we stopped at the White House to see President Ralph J. Pat' terson. He was mighty glad to see us and introduced us to the VicefPresident, P. N. Smith, and to the Secretary of the Treasury. Charles Wine, Jr, The next day we went to the Court House, where we encountered Judge Earl Man' chester talking to John R. Coleman and Walt Hoffman. both certified public accountants. I understand that Fred Huebner and Chuck Lied are C. P, Afs too. with offices in the Farmers Bank Building at Pittsburgh. Judge Manchester invited us to spend the evening at his home as his wife was going to give a party in honor of the noted dancer. Mme. Leona Pforsich La Place. We were anxious to see Leone so accepted the invitation, Mrs. Coolidge Knee Henrietta CudaJ and Mrs. Myrtle Dolan Frick were there. All of a sudden there was a great confusion. One of the guests had broken off a piece of a tooth while eating and exposed a nerve, A dentist was called and within a short time Dr. Arthur Villinova appeared. I read in a paper the other day that Captain Earl H. Mason. of the United States Army. had instructed his sergeants to give their corps strict instructions to prosecute all violators of the Airplane Parking Laws. In the radio section I read that Mayor Agnes Veselini, our Hrst lady mayor, would announce several appointments, and that Joe Ruben was going to give a very interesting talk on How to do Good for Humanity. In another section I read that Vincent Spagnolo now has full charge of the Boggs fi Buhl Department Store. In the Society Column I read that Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. Jr, fnee Janice Winej, of Tulsa. Qklahoma, was the guest of Mrs. Edsel Ford fnee Stella Schwarzjf' I fear that I am taking up entirely too much of your valuable time. dear. I quite forgot myself. having become so interested that I d1dn't stop to think. Oh. by the way. you remember Ted Carlberg. He is a minister and is at present cam' paigning for foreign missions. If you have all your money tied up. pawn some of your jewels and turn the money over to him. Philip Nesvisky. the Wholesale Druggist. has subscribed 51.000 to the fund. Bob Troop is President of the Y. M. C. A. His office is at the corner of Third Avenue and Wood Street. Stop in to see him the next time you're in that vicinity, He'll be glad to see you. We certainly have reason to be proud of the fact that we were members of the Class of '26, So many of them are prominent people today. 'iDid you know that Angeline Casillo is married to a noted author. They make a good team. You remember how clever she was at editing. Bill Johns is Professor of Journalism at the University of Washington. I had a lengthy conversation with him. He told me that Dutch Ashtonfyou remember Elizabeth-became so interested in a rolling-pin that she decided to vamp the Principal of the school where she taught: and she did. He also told me that Robert Cober won the World's Parchesi championship. Some time ago. while looking through my relics. I came across the engagement announce- ment of Anne Qliver. an ardent social worker, to a well known New York business man. At the Commencement exercises of the College of Manual Arts, President G. W. Cox tripped while leading the class to the platform. but he delivered his address as though nothing had happened. Many distinguished speakers were there, among whom were Governor Bernard Freiland. Dr. Josephine Vogel Cuyler. and Mrs. Jeanne Wetzel McCartney. Wl1ile driving through Texas the first thing that struck my attention was a sign on the top of a large building reading 'AndersonfMcClintock Department Storef We needed a few odd articles so parked our car and walked over, not realizing what a surprise was in store for us. As we were about to leave I noticed a very stately lady coming in, who looked very familiar. NVe recognized each other immediately and just like a magnet were drawn into each other's arms. It was Emma Anderson. She told us that her name is 'McClintock' now. You remember Bowly Morrell. He was appointed Superintendent of the Plant Depart' ment of the Bell Telephone Company. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that Hilda Becker got the man of her dreams. He's a model husband, Allows her to wash the dishes in everything. I must be going now. I enjoyed this chat so much, Please do not forget to wire me before you come to Pittsburgh. I wish that we could turn back the universe and live over those happy school days. Don't you.
