Ginza lirnphrrg How much one short year can bring forth! Looking backward, we comment with surprise upon the countless happenings in the course of the past twelve months. Looking into the future, we re- alize that each succeeding year will be crowded fuller than the last and that within a few short years, we, who now know the daily inci- dents in each other's lives, may be separated as far as the east is from the west. About twenty years after I had finished the Welch High School, I became a newspaper reporter for one of the largest newspapers in the state of New York. In my capacity as reporter, it devolved upon me to canvass both Europe and America to find as many wandering old maids as possible and bring them through the medium of the so- ciety columns to the attention of the bachelors. In my travels I was surprised to find some of the girls of the Class of '15 still eligible to appear in the old maids' column. During my stay in London I came across one of the main bas- ketball forwards of the Welch team, Miss Jimmie Trolinger. At first I hardly knew her, for she had grown so large. She said that she had become an ardent suffragette. While in France I met my old schoolmate, Mr. Benoni Durall, now a traveling lecturer on gas and basketball rules. He told me he was going to come back to the good old United States and secure a position as secretary of the Standard Oil company. From France I went to China, and there, to my surprise, I found Misa Helen Hancock, still single. She had taken up missionary wor . After completing my tour, I purchased a ticket for New York. On my arrival I found that Mr. Raymond Smith had taken up work as reporter on the same newspaper to which I was attached. While in New York, I found Miss Josephine Linihan, teaching Domestic Science in one of the High Schools and still unmarried. In Chicago I visited one of the Agricultural Schools where I was surprised to see that humorous fellow, Mr. Harold Durall. When it comes to jokes and fun, Harold was always Johnny on the Spot, his special line having been jokes-good jokes, bad jokes and stale jokes. The funniest thing about his jokes was that he enjoyed them more than any one else. To know how to farm has bean his highest ambition and now he is teaching the science to tit ers. On my short stay in Cincinnati, I saw Miss Hazel Roberts. She had had several serious love affairs, but as priests are not per- mitted to marry, she will remain single. She expects to be a great leader in the Woman Suffrage Movement. Mr. Paul Simms, I found was practicing law in Springfield. Paul was always somewhat of a ladies' man and is in favor of the Suffrage Movement. Miss Susan O'Connor was in Kansas City working at the millinery trade. She is talking about setting up a shop in Welch in the future. While in Denver, I saw Mr. Everett Wrinkle. He was on his way to California, where he is engaged as a Horticulturist. On my way to Oklahoma, I stopped in Topeka, where I found Miss Helen Jones. She was teaching in the High School there, where she is making a practical use of her education. On arriving in Welch, I was surprised to see Mr. Harold Smith. He had finished a four years' course in medicine at St. Louis and was now practicing in Welch as chief Pill Roller. I also found Mr. Eugene Hayes still on the farm, one of the noted farmers and stock raisers of Craig County. WILLIAM MILLS.
