1921—ORIOLE—1921 Allata Jlrflpljmi Warren, 111., December 30, 1940. Dear Ben:— I received your last letter asking if I knew the whereabouts of any of the old class of ’21. As 1 had nothing to do at the time, I attempted to find out what had become of them. I was able to locate all of them except Harry Reed. The last anyone heard of him was when be left for Hollywood, Cali- fornia, to sign a contract with one of the large motion picture corporations, lie had just finished a successful season on the vaudeville stage. Both Mable Gundry and Gertrude Schwindle married soon after gradua- tion. Mable is living on the Philip Wolfram farm and Gertrude is residing near Lena. I have seen them both several times, in fact, they helped me a great deal in looking up our old classmates. Kiddo Wiley is making quite a success of bis dairy farm and is now plan- ning to establish an electric delivery system to furnish Warren and the sur- rounding towns with bis sanitary dairy products. Art Bothwell is now in Chicago. I believe be is in charge of the Consalus- Pepoon Co., designers of modern gowns and hats. The president and treasurer of this firm are also old classmates of ours, Janice Consalus and Harriett Pepoon. Paul Akins has become one of the shrewdest lawyers in the state and is now a candidate for re-election to the office of State’s Attorney, of Cook County. Holland has become an inventor. So far he has only improved on several former inventions, but is now working on an airplane tractor, which, if successful will probably revolutionize modern (arming. He claims that whin this airplane tractor is finished it will do more work than three of the tractors now in use. Ethel Graham has purchased the Warren Sentinel-Leader. She is making quite a success of it. too. She lias changed it to a daily and made it a strong political paper. This has increased its circulation to about 30,000 readers. The paper is supporting Marian Wilson as a candidate for governor. Marian became interested in politics and through the successful campaigning of Ethel was elected to the State Legislature for two terms. Marian Kleeberger has just finished her contract with the Redpath Chau- tauqua and starts on the Lyceum platform the 10th of January. She is a fine musician and in great demand on both the Chautauqua and Lyceum Circuit. Berdena Gundry is the wife of Warren’s leading garage owner and she is also the leader in the society gatherings. Edith Groom is connected with the Red Cross in Siberia, but she expects to return from there early in June.
