Q9 , 7, HG . '33 The Aggies, Nineteen TwentyfEight F33 that she was sorry she couldn't give as good a report as some of the others, but she was trying to rear three robust little boys. Every one applauded and some one said that that was a noble occupation. NV. M. Liggin was milking cows in a dairy near Miami, Florida. Ora Williamson was clerk in the toy department in Fishers Sollie Cole was street car conductor in New York. Herman Marshall was professor of science at Harvard. Gerila Denny had formulated some kind of pill, that when taken would enable a person to know his lessons without studying. These pills were very popular at A. 81 M. T. S. McLendon was working in a shoe string factory in Chicago. Clara Harman was a well known fortune teller.. Taft Swygert was judge of the Superior Court in XVashington, D, C, NVe have all heard the saying, Laugh and grow fat. NVell, Lanere Thompson had certainly done this. Mandeville Henderson was making a living as a trapper in Canada. Oliver Hammond was a chicken peddler in Atlanta. Frank Dennis was a great aviator who had broken the world's record by making a non-stop flight around the world. It was impossible for all my class mates to be at A. K M. for some of them were across the ocean and in Mars. I was very anxious to see them, so I suggested to Frank that wetstart early the next morning in his aeroplane and make them a visit. This just suited him, so the next morning we started on our flight. When we had gotten about halfway across the Atlantic, I was so thirsty that I asked Frank to stop on the floating station and get something to drink. VV e had a delicious drink that had been formulated by Ernest Spradlin. Whom do you suppose we saw there? Nobody but Horace Kidd who was in charge of the station. . While we were talking to Horace a very large ship stopped and the captain came up to the little stand to get a drink. You can imagine how surprised I was when I found that it was no other that Robert Lovvorn. We soon continued our Hight to England where we inquired about Charlie Frank Williamson, who was a great bass singer at London. They told us that he had gone to Africa to sing to the heathens, so we turned the aeroplane in that direction. After we had gotten' to Africa and were looking for a place to land, we noticed a large crowd ofvpeople. We landed, thinking perhaps that Charlie Frank might be singing to them, But we found that it was not a man singing but a woman talking. After pushing our way through the crowd, we found that it was Lucile jackson. I-Ier childhood dreams had become real, for she was a missionary. She told us that Charlie lfrank had been there but had just left the day before for Mars. Determined to see him we started iinineliately on our route. When we arrived, we found that he had gone to persuade the great pianist, Irene Cook, and the great alto singer, Eula slackson, to come back with him to London, Their friends hated for them to leave but they linally came with him to plan their concert trip for the following season. As I had seen and talked with all my Classmates, Erank brought me back to my dear home in the Philippines. I started about my work thinking that my class was a very remarkable one.
