HOM ECOMING. 1925. One of the most interesting features of the Homecoming held at Waterloo in 1925, was the re-union of the Class of 1909. In answer to the gracious invitations of many friends. they gathered from all parts of the globe to renew their acquaintance of former years. The original twenty-seven classmates gathered at a banquet held at the City Hall and discussed their ex- periences since they last met. One of the most interesting features of the evening was the talk given by that great missionary, Anna Batien, from China, about the habits and customs of the children of that distant country. The dude , James Johnson, who came from London, then gave a toast in honor of all present. Bonnie McNeel, an actress, who is also in that great city, then told a thrilling story of her narrow escape from death while in a burning theatre. Loretta Manning told us how much she enjoyed her occupation as a waitress in a hotel at Paris. and also of the kindness of her landlady, Laura Fiebiger. The next two of our classmates who talked to us were Elsie Becken and Clara Rohr, who conduct a milli- ner and dressmaking establishment in Paris. They related some of the peculiar incidents that happen in their work. The great musician, John Spies, from Berlin, then played several beautiful selections for us and Irene Ames, who is a great and distinguished singer, also from that distant city, sang several selections from grand operas. Both the singer and the Inusician were loudly applauded. Laura Roach, who is a great poetess and resides in Paris, then read to us a beautiful poem which she had carefully prepared. She is one of the most distinguished poets of her day. ' Each member of the class was presented with a small but beautiful painting which Lenore Hiebel. now a great artist. had prepared as souvenirs of the occasion. We learn that Barti Foley is a cashier of a bank in New York. Emma Hebl is a stenographer in the same bank. Roscoe Conklin. who is a professor of botany in Troy. gave a very interesting address. and his first assistant, Julia Baker. also gave an address. One of our classmates, Leata Lewellin, is a nurse in a hospital in New York. She told us many of the pitiful scenes which sometimes occur in the crowded wards of the hospital.
