Gertrude Stephens Uliverywliere I turn there are glowing tributes to the memory of limily Bean. There is a spot in the study hall that no one else can ever fill. She was here-there-amongst us, and we were hardly aware of her coming, so quiet was she. Now she has slipped away from us. But tho away, yet in spirit she will always be near to us who loved herfl Alice Weber Page .siaffcen I

A typical University graduation day program is in progress, and among other events the U. H. S. reunion of the class of 1929. Things are indeed changed. But as I gaze into the glass, who should be seen alighting from his air-flivver but that old heart-breaker, Kenneth Stephens! He is known far and wide as the producer and originator of the greatest girl show on the road. By his side, as of old, trips the star of the outfit, Fern Basting. As this couple enter the study hall, they see all the class gathered around the platform listening to Chester Thomson tell how he solved the problem of making Work Out exceed Work In.

Pauline Simmons fin private lifej is still grasping for high notes. She is now tour- ing the country, making one-night stands. Robert Orendorff has made a sensational rise to fame, and is basking in the limelight. He recently invented a combination cigarette lighter, fountain pen, and back scratcher. Dorrence Darling coaches the Notre Dame basketball team in the winter and spring, plays baseball with the Barnes Blue Shirts in the summer, and lives at home with the Mrs. the rest of the time.

Helen Aldrich and Marjorie Conley, as representatives of the Anti-Saloon League, are running a speak-easy down on South Center Street, Bloomington. Betty Baird and Marion Denzer are directing a school in Chicago for the purpose of teaching students how to work wonders with words C4w's in a wrowj. They have a reputation of being the two most outspoken women in the Middle West. Esther Dillon is Dean of Women at Yale University and she reports that she has her hands full. Harry Caldwell is unable to be here tonight as he is at present conducting a world-wide search for an adjustable stamp for signing excuses. Mildred Fitz Henry is a song writer. She specializes in blues songs, and all that she needs for inspiration is William W. W.'s mournful portrait, a la ROS-SYL, 1929. Helen 'Quinn is affiliated with a hot-dog firm down in Shirley. Julius Van Ness is the dog-catcher. Wilbur Morgan is a hermit, driven to his fate, poor lad, by an unconquerable desire to let wimmen alone. Page seventeen I 9 2 9
