Of course I am glad to hear about the careers of our 01d classmatea and I have some news to tell you But First let me tell you that I am on the stage You didn't know you had 3 Julia Marlowe among your classmates, did you? My play for this season was Written by Ernest Stockmcicr, our funny Associate Editori Ernie is a brilliant playwright, and wiil manage a large company next winter. While looking over the Camp IVaShingtou News, which my brother forwards me each month, I noticed this advertisement HNamuab Farmsyi for sale. 'I could readily see that this was the name of our old friend Bauman reversed. He is now quite prominent in College Hill real estate circles. I had such an enjoyable experience last month. I went to a meeting of the School Board in Columbus, and who do you think was among the Republican members? uLeo Neyer,' 31 hit it strange how things do turn out? He used to be such an ardent Democrat. Otto I-Iattendorff-- you remember 0. 3L who was always so smooth of speech-is Leo told me some new; of our class. United States Representative from California. where he owns quite a number of orange groves. I had to stop writing just now to sign a telegram and that reminds me of another boy who was with us three years and had to quit school on account of his business the last year. You remember Charles Laib, the busy boy who often came late for :a'chool. He i4 now President of the Western Union Telegraph Com having worked his way up from messenger boy.

CLASS PROPHECY JUNE l. 15TH. MY DEAR LUCILLE: HOW time does Hy. girl quarters. following literary inclinations and entertaining myself with a little of Shakespeare. You notice I said, l'Bachelor Girl ; I do so dislike to he called an Old Maid just yetV although I am speedily approaching the limit, Iuet ten years ago today our class was at the height of its glory. Can you ever forget how important we felt? Now Recently Here I am today sitting in my bachelor we are scattered to all four corners. of the glohe. chance has brought me into contact with several of our class- mates; so I have decided to celebrate the anniversary of our graduation in writing you about them. I went into the First National Bank the other day and the President stepped up and spoke to me It was out Invincible Ralph. He seemed a. little doubtful whether to address me :15 Miss or Mraz, but I assured him that my name was the same as when I went to school with him. We fell to talking of old times and our VEll'lUlh mutual triendst and he told me that Walter Mocsta. after graduating from U. C. had accepted a principalship in Brooklyn and W215 rapidly becoming a famous man. Funny how we meet people where we least expect them, isn't it. The other day, as I was walking down Riverside Drive, I met Esther Schneithorst. Do you know she is professor in Latin at Vassar? She graduated from Oxford and made such a brilliant record that she was invited to Vassar as assistant immediately after graduating, Have-you heard of Norma Weiml wedding? She mu married in May of last year to a prominent business man of Indianapolis. where she is now making her home. Do you remember Elmer Putt? You know he was quite ii genius at designing. After completing his course at the Ciw cinnati Art School, he went to Springheld, where he is drawing a handsome salary as well as some good pictures for the IVoman S Home Companion. john Anthony is teaching school at the 'W'K'ashingtonW and stands in a good way to become school supervisor. This I learned from Bernard I-Ierbe, who has quite a large printing establishment and is puhlighing the monthly paper for the W'ashe ington Night High School. By the way. this paper is now quite a success. Aren't you proud to think that we were the first to publish an annual? It takes a wedding Or two to make things interesting so I'll tell you the latest news. Marguerite H'ettercr was married last month to a man she has known since childhood, She is still very much a child, but I don't believe the baby of our Class will ever grow up. I suppose that was the reason for the serious objection on the part of her patents. for when they found she had made up her mind they locked her in her roomi All is fair in love. however. and when her fiance and the minister sailed up to her window in an aeroplane. she outwitted everyone by be- coming his wife up in the cloutlsI And now, just a word about myself. I have just completed a book of short stories. and am preparing to start 011 a trip around the world in order to get material for a novel. I expect to return home by way of the North Pole in 1935, Now write and tell me 2111 about your fortunes in this wide world, antl all you can about the other t'out'teena Sincerely your friend, PEARL E. FALLS, 8900 Riverside Drive. New York, N. Y.
