I happened to notice in the paper that you were in Frisco so I thought I 'd call up. I’m at the St. Francis.” E.—Where in the name of Xerxes did you drop in from, Art?” A.—“I came in this morning from India on the ‘Alcazar.’ Been on a government survey on II. M. S. for the last five years. Lonesome hole that; if Sherman had ever been there he would certainly have substituted it for another in his well known idiom. By the way, Ek. what are you doing?” E.—“.Just at present I’m lecturing on natural science. I have been touring this country for the last year or two with my most famous lecture on the ‘Mental Ability of tin Angleworm.’ Been making a good thing out of it, too.” A.—“Do you lecture here tonight?” E.—“No, tomorrow night, the eighth. By George, Art, do you realize that this is June seventh, 1937?” A.—“Well, what of it?” E.—“Just twenty years after we graduated from the old Aberdeen Hi.” A.—“I guess you’re right. I hadn’t thought much about it. I haven’t seen or heard of any of our class except Dorothy Watson, since about 1922 or ’23.” E.—“And Dorothy’s about the only one I haven’t heard of or seen. Where did you see her?” A.—“Oh, she came out to India about four years ago with her husband. He’s an army officer, the ‘Duke of Dedbroke’.” E.—“So Dorothy’s a duchess?” A.—“Yep, and raising a couple of strapping little duklets. Speaking of Dorothy, what became of Doris?” E.—“Doris was elected to Congress last term on a ‘ten hours of housework for men’ platform. Catherine Miller was her campaign manager and I understand that she had Mark Ilanna backed off the map.” A.—“Whew! Class of Seventeen seems to have run strong to feminism. Guess it was because there were so few boys. Say, what became of the fellows that were called out with the Naval Militia? E.—“Carl McClung was the only one who stayed by the Navy as a —27—

Sarah and Russel were married, of course.” A.—“Where are they now?” E.—“Sarah has gone on the stage and made a hit on Broadway. She’s a peach of an actress and is advertised as the Divine Sarah II. I saw her last winter starring in ‘Quality, Not Quantity!’ Russel is her business manager and directs tin productions in which she appears.” A.—“And what’s become of Marian?” E.—“Oh, she’s writing fiction. I met her a couple of months ago in Tombstone, Arizona. She had just had her latest story accepted by the “Friday Morning Stake” and was nearly tickled to death about it. The story was ‘The Mystery of the Missing Link,’ or ‘Who Stole the Sausage?' They say she has Edgar A. backed off the dock at that kind of stuff. Next?” A.—“Jeanette Hogan?” E.—“She went East and studied under Herr Brush and later went to Europe. I saw her in Chicago last spring. She was traveling as accompanist to Josephine McNamee who has become famous as a concert singer. It seems they both went to France and married Frenchmen of artistic ability. They were, in fact, so artistic that they exterminated themselves in a duel, so the merry widows decided to tour America. They are appearing as Madame Ilinote der Scuiek and .Mademoiselle Jeanne I)e Ivreticler. A.—“What became of Gertie Goehrend and Grace Johnson?” E.—“Gertie and Grace? Oh, they conduct a “Sanitarium for Overworked Husbands” near Palm Beach. I understand they make a success of it because ‘Dim’ and ‘Cecil’ do the cooking. A.—“To return to the superior minority; what became of Tom O’Hare and Hank Callison?” E.—“They pulled through the war all right but came down fast when they tried a flyer in Wall Street. Tom went into partnership with Francis Slover in the ‘Superior Soap Soapoolfying Syndicate.’ They’ve built a little town of their own at Slivslotohoma. Indiana. They have a race course built around it and spend their spare moments trying out the merits of their automobiles. Hank reverted to science and is occupied in solving questions of economic importance. At present he is trying to find out why man, the lord of creation, pays $12 per pound for potatoes while a potato-bug gets his for nothing.” A.—“What became of Ed Remmelmever?” E.—“Ed has been spending the last ten years trying to convert the Esquimaux to the Single Tax theory of government. I saw him in Seattle several months ago. By the, way, I ran across Bruce Ellis in Seattle. He is clerking in the perfume department of the Bon Marche and has become quite a dude in his manner of dress. He told me that Lorentz Mattila was in town for a few days. He had just come back from the Fiji Islands where he won the pocket-pool championship and a gold medal as big as. a cart-wheel.” —28
