RE-UNION OU have probably often heard how the Senior Class of 1930 had a re-union every five years. They have always held these at Warrensburg out at Pertle Springs. The first one was held in 1935. Nearly every member was present telling of different colleges each had been attending, the teaching' of some school and of recent marriages. But it seemed that this first re-union was not half as important as the second one. Early in 1940, while in Colorado as an Extenison Worker, I received a letter from no one else but Phyllis Henry telling of the plans for the second re-union to be held the 25th day of June. i Late in the evening of the 24th, I drove into Warrensburg. I went directly to the home of Phyllis, as I wanted to hear all the news immediately. Hello, there, Phyllis! I see you're still in Warrensburg and teaching English at the High School, too. Are there many of the other Seniors still here? Oh, yes! Bill Hinkle is now the owner of the Thrailkill Clothing Storeg John Tetley is -coaching the athletics at W. H. S., and Mary Knapp is the Math teacher and- But what about Louis Theiss, Billy Cockefair, and where is Mary Neal? I thought they were all living near here, I interrupted. Did you know that Mar- jorie Glazebrook is the Secretary to the Ambassador to England and Charlie John- son is the private Secretary to the President of the U. S.? Yes, I had heard of Char1ie's prominent position but I didn't know that Mar- jorie was in England. Hadn't you heard that Mary and Jerome were married? Mary is a splendid dressmaker and Jerome is President of the Standard Oil Com- pany. Do you remember Henrietta Stratton? I think she was a sophomore when we graduated, said Phyllis. She was going with Louis at the time, wasn't she? Oh, are they married? Yes, and living on the old home place, out of town a few miles, very happy. I have never seen such a pair. They seem to be just crazy about each other, And you asked about Billy Cockefair, didn't you? He is still delivering lettuce to Buente Town grocerrs. He has the largest dairy and truck gardens in Warrensburgf' By this time we were really getting sleepy and as we Wanted to continue our conversation at the reunion the next day, we retired to our rooms. The morning of the 25th broke, bright and fair. The whole town seemed to be in a bustle as if something exciting was to happen. Well, it was something to be excited about, to be able to go out to Pertle Springs and see there all your old schoolmates. Everyone was there with the exception of Marjorie Glazebrook, who at this time could not get a leave because of her secretary-ship. Of course there was much chattering, as everyone was talking at once, try- ing to find out Whore each had been and all that had happened for the last ilve years, so, in order that each might know about the others, the roll was called by Mary Neal, the Secretary of the Senior Class, now Mrs. Jerome Iohnston, and also a renowned dress designer, and answered by each person telling about his life. Please be quiet, everyone, said Mary, I am going to call the roll. Helen Bryant. . I'm sorry, Mary, my name is no longer Bryant. I am living with my hus- band in California.

She told of her romance and married life with Eggie Houx and of how she was then living in Virginia. Sh-Be still! Elizabeth Chambers is now going to tell of her success. Well, I have attained my highest ambition-being the world's champion typ- istg and now I don't know what to do, answered Elizabeth. Dumond Christopher. I'll just let Claribel, my wife, do my talking, if you don't mind. . It's not many men that will do thatg so, Claribel, what do you have to say? asked Mary. In that pretty, soft voice of hers, Claribel told of how, at first, she entered the movies, and then married Dumondg how they had traveled abroad in the past year. . All right, Margaret Culp, what have you been doing? I am still competing with Vladimir Horowitz. You all remember that won- derful musician that played at the College that winter we were Seniors, don't you? That is the man who is a stumbling block in my road to success. Very good, Margaret. Wilbur Daniels, just what became of you? ' Oh, I have already made my millions and am now retired and living in Florida, answered Wilbur. Marcellus Dillon, I have heard that you are manager of the Globe Theatre in New York. Is that true? It must be, if you heard it and if you are sure you are not mistaken. Yes, it's the truth, replied Marcellus. Della, what have you and Floyd been doing? asked Mary. We were married about two years after school was out and see what a line little girl I have. She has curls just like I had. At this she held up a chubby little girl about three years old. ' Everyone clapped and crowded .around to see the child. Finally, Mary'-I should say Mrs. Johnston-again obtained order and proceeded with the roll call. Theodore, let's hear from you. He answered by saying, Still a bachelor and also manager of a chain of clean- ing establishments in Missouri. Now, here -is something really interesting. Daphne, will you te-ll us of some of your thrilling experiences? I'll admit aviation is thrilling, if it hadn't been, I would never have become an aviatrix. But I really don't think we have time for me to go into detail about any of my experiences. Nell Frances Faulkner is next on the roll and she is going to tell something really interesting, now aren't you? This got Nell Frances rather flustrated, but she finally answered, Oh, but I haven't anything half as interesting to tell as the others have told, I thought it would be fun to travel, so that is what I've been doing. So far, I have just seen b the sights in various places in the United States, but I hope to go abroad in a few years. Let's see, said Mary, Marjorie Glazebrook isn't here, so Jane Gray will now announce heraccomplishments and her future intentions. V- ,v. V-f - vvvv VYZWYAV YN!
