lD.H.S. -B 1icTancTGo 1924 Dear Classmates, As Hutchinson says, O wind, if winter comes can Spring be far behind ? l'vt had wind and winter all my life and spring never comes. I've been engaged to three girls but I felt as if I could not look at them every morning so l'm a happy bachelor. My home is on a farm in northern Michigan. Truly yours, HOMER HAHN. Dear Friends, I am quite changed now from what I used to be in school. My husband and I are in mission work in India. We have been here two years and like the work just fine. The little kiddies over here sure are cute. As ever, PAULINE METZLER. My dearest Friends, Well, how is everyone? Hope you are as happy as I am at Hollywood. Our COIH- pany is preparing to put on Virgil's Aeineid . I play the part of Aeneas. I think it is Hwonderfuli' like the girls in Latin IV used to say. Your true friend, ' OLEN HARTMAN Dear Classmates, As I was directing my group of boys this evening, a thrill ran through my body as they played Home Sweet Home. The song brought memories of old school days to me. I am now at St. Paul directing a famous band which was formerly the Wakarusa High School Band. Life for me is always at its best. Regards to all, ELDON WELDY Dear Friends, You cannot imagine the delight in getting a letter from my old classmates. I entered Chicago University and became infatuated with a cabaret dancer. Of course I squandered most of my college days in the attempt to win her love. VVe became en- gaged, but just as we were going to church to be married her husband appeared on the scene. This ended one important act in my life drama. At present I am located in Mars getting news items on the newly discovered Laughing Gas . It surely is a great life. Best wishes, EDWIN HERNER -T -:'T'? lvaltarusa l.. 24

I-D.H.S. B ue and GO cl 1924 Dear Classmates : Having just finished my classes, I was sitting at my window in silent thought. I was married to Alvin Shank last June and we are just as happy as can be. He owns a large bank here in New York and I am Dean of Women in Columbia University. I often think of the good times we had at school, but I guess those days are gone forever. Loyal classmate, DOVE PLETCHER Dear Friends: I own a lNIen's Hair Dressing Parlor in Virginia. I was just looking at a picture of our class. Don't the boys look funny with short hair? It's a good thing men wear their hair long now or I wouldn't have a trade. lVIy business consists of powdering and curling hair and selling fancy hair-ribbons for bows. With best wishes. ROY HA RTZLER Classmates : I am at present in Paris, France, preparing to give a lecture on lVIilady's Spring Wardrobe. I wish some of you were here to hear it, for I shall make statements about all the latest styles for women. Regards to the Class, . PAUL HUBER Dear Classmates: I am settled in my snug little home in California. Many times in my busy life I think of our good times we had together in high school. I have been engaged in picking peaches, especially the lVIiltonian and the Davidson. I rather think the latter is the choice fruit. With best wishes, BLANCHE MYERS. GLADYS SHANK DOROTHY BROWN 25
