Pekin, Illinois .Iune 1, 1951 Dear Marion, a I received your letter and have written to tell you where all our old classmates are, as you requested in your letter. Our old friend, Nadine Lohmann, is a great opera singer, and in' her last letter she told us that she was engaged and would be married in June to a well-to-do shoe manufacturer in Boston. I went to New York for a visit last Week by aeroplane, and was surprised to find the pilot to be none other than Clifford Davison. We were met at the landing station by a huge crowd, and were presented the key by the mayoress. Something was very familiar about her and I found she was none other than Lola Albertscn. I lunched at her home and then went to see a tennis game played by I-Ielen VVills and Isabelle Lolmes. Isabelle won and is now the champion of the world. I stayed a few days longer at New York, seeing many of my old friends. Edna Stoneking is practicing law and is quite successful. Virginia Griliin owns and operates a modiste shop on Fifth Avenue and supplies the gowns of many of the wives of the nation's notahles. The last evening of my visit in New York, I went to the theatre with some friends, and was surprised to find William Black was the leading star of the evening. The play was called the Isle of Chance and wus a huge success. As I had to cash a check, I went to the First National Bank and found that thc cashier was Louis Lauterbach. He said that he had a surprise for me and led me to the president's oiiiee. I entered into a cloud of smoke, and there, sitting in a comfortable over-stuffed chair, sat the president of the bank, Norman Siebens. Putting aside his huge black cigar, he rose to greet me. He said it was a daily occurrence to scc somebody from home, for a great many of his old classmates were very successful in New York. I decided that I had stayed long enough in New York, so I boarded an air ship for XVash- ington. In a few minutes we halted on a landing station while the chef got the supply of milk for the diner. The milk arrived in large trucks and, I talked to one of the drivers. I-Ie told me of the large sanitary dairy where he worked and he said that the place was owned by Norma Nierstheimer. I was sorry I could not go to see the dairy, hut it was necessary for me to go to IVashington at once. YVhen I arrived i11 VVasliington, I was met by Beulah Potts, who is now senator from Illinois, and I stayed at her beautiful home the two days I was in Washington. As I greatly needed a marcel, I went to a large beauty shop which is one of the best in IVashing'ton. Attired in a dainty white frock, the owner came to curl my hair and I discovered she was Frances Pitts. The evening before I went home, I went to dinner at the XVhite House. No doubt you know that Rosewell Gray is the president of our nation. WVR! were received by the gracious 'Lady of the Land,' who was formerly Miss Isabelle Lawton, of Pekin. After a pleasant evening, we went to our hotels and in the early morning we boarded an air ship to Pekin. It is nearing dinner time now and I must stop writing to satisfy my pangs of hunger. I remain sincerely yours, IVIAIIKIH Smrru. New that this zoomlrons tale is done, You may know 'tis all in fun.

Under the rules of this county, no hoy should weigh over 105 pounds to play on the team, and this rule was rigidly enforced at all games. Out of a total of nine games we were victorious in seven, gaining a total of 170 points to 58 made by our opponents. XVe were handicapped at the first of the season hy not having a gym and were forced to practice on an outdoor court. Not heing ahle to hit our stride we were forced to lose to Morton in the first game, played at Morton. Later we outclassed Morton by defeating them badly. Our next game was played on the local floor with Delavan and with Captain Simon hitting the basket every few moments, we simply snowed .Delavan hy a 36 to 0 count. In the tournament Olll' first game was with '1'ren1ont and winning this game gave us a right to play in the finals with Rust-Peoria. XVith all the five hitting on six, we took the long end of the score by 27' to 3, winning the tournament and a very fine shield which any team should he proud of.

The Heavies disposed of Tremont with ease in first game 39-9, but lost a hard fought-and grueling battle to the I-Ieaviesn from East Peoria.

The Girls' Athletic Club is one of our most beneficial activities. It meets every Thursday evening after school and its sole purpose is recreation. Clad in appropriate costume and with their tennis shoes thrown over their shoulders, the girls walk briskly to the gymnasium, where they spend an hour in or- ganized play under the direction of Miss Cornelia Soldwedel and Miss Ella Becker. The girls gain a marked degree of grace and freedom of movement and so are capable of taking leading parts in our annual Spring Festival.

The Washington School Life, the paper published by the pupils of the Washington Junior High, will soon be observing its third birthday. It is published once each month of the school year and nearly every one of our four hundred eighty pupils is a subscriber. The staff of the paper also composes the Annual Staff. Each member of the staff has some definite work assigned him, each member of the staff realizes his responsibility in performing that work, consequently we feel that the Washington School Life and also our Annual are meeting' with much success in their line of endeavor. YVC are proud of our Exchangcs. lVe exchange papers with junior high schools and with several high schools in many of the states of the Union.
