He has also had several of his poems published and set to music. Among them is iiI Like the Girl Who Made the Latest Hit. Thomas Matney has attended a university Whose main purpose seems to have been to broaden the Views of men. At least he no longer thinks that everyone is narrow in his beliefs, and strangest of all to relate, he has become a very earnest and efficient orthodox preacher. Elliott James has prospered financially since he left Valparaiso. His well known antipathy towards the tobacco trusts of his state led him to use all his knowledge and Wit to work against them until he formed a union stronger than theirs.

Raymond Bressler is known as a man of many talents. He occasionally sings at moving picture shows, and has played in a number of light comedies. He also taught Latin and English in high school, but he had played the ilfoolli so many times that the students copied his example, and at last sent him back to iiHalifaXW Martin Teigan is a lawyer and has settled down in a small town in the eastern part of Nebraska. He is as hard to understand as ever. I am not sure Whether he is merely an honest lawyer or a cunning politician. But from What I heard I believe that he is the latter. He tried to get an office in his state a few years ago, but ran as slowly as he walked around the streets of Valparaiso, and so was as late as he used to be in arriving at some of his classes. J . E.

During my travels I met Fred Marsh. I noticed that he had a very wide- awake expression and seemed to regard everything and everybody in such a scrutinizing manner. No one seemed to know much about him, but at last I found out through a friend of his that he is a detective and was at that time working on a very important case which he hoped soon to be able to iitrack Oiitf7 He thought that he had found a clue as to the whereabouts of certain people who are in the habit of breaking the ten oiclock curfew law.

During the last few seasons he has been a powerful aid to the tiWhite Soxli in their most strenuous games, and is now at the head of the Y. M. C. A. National Athletic Association. Some years ago Walter A. Zaugg met his affinity in South Dakota and located in the West, where for a time he was lost in oblivion, but iistruck it rich in a new oil iield and shortly afterward united with the Standard Oil Company.
