EI -----'---- ---- 1 9 'f OLLEPAW zz ----- --------- E1 Plonoluluf' fhnwong the chorus guls l vvas surprked to recognize Nvo of rny fonner classmates, Hattie Adye and Lela 'Marshall. Looking around over the audience after the lights went on I saw Miriarn Shipman and Celia Gardner sitting together. I went over and talked to them and found that they were both teachers in the High School. They said that Mabel Schmeiser was Professor of Languages in the State University. and pointed out Walter Grimm, the county engineer: Otis Hicklin. chief surgeon in the county hospital: and hflax Bumgardner, proprietor of Lofgren's old gift shop. Then I spied Jim Small and talked with him. He asked me out to spend the night, saying that Alice would be delighted to see me. On the way out we passed Sharon Pease's dairy farm, which was prospering under Henry Deppy's capable management. When we reached -limls pretty home, we spent the remainder of the evening dis- cussing the members of our class. Mary Stone was living on the Wagg farm acrosss the river, and Bob Wfillson was coach at Iowa Wesleyan. Alice informed me that Nellie Oliphant was teaching at Qakville and that Eulah Bishop was a Red Cross nurse in Europe. I learned that Earl Meyerholz had purchased a ranch in'North Dakota and was living a lonely life, having been disappointed by Nlarie Kreiner. who refused to spend her life in such a desert home. She is now matron of a foundling asylum. Last of all Alice showed me a letter from Ruth McKinney in which I found that Ruth and Cappie Erwin were living in Chicago, still unmarried and serving their fellowmen as settlement workers, the best in the Middle West. As I fell asleep that night, I was thinking of my former classmates, and uppermost in my thoughts was the question, Who would haved dreamed of all this thirteen years ago? fm l-55 Rig' ilf i2 - - I-:v fc 1 A yr Ngiaafafg .-ferry, S,x-aifygf' 1 QQQQE' ..
