' 'Che Tiger Stripe -I- Let me think. Oh, I remember, Sillcox. That's the boy. You can't think what he's doing. No, I guess not. Well, he's teaching aesthetic dancing in Steubenville. His classes are full all the time. There's a chance for me yet, was my reply. Well, to continue. Remember Margaret Heakin? She put up a girl's finishing school on Trotters' Hill. The first year she had 50 girls enrolled. It has fine buildings. lv t Another girl in our class although very quiet was none the less bril- J Ze1la Irwin, I cried. According to the papers she is in the Interior Oflice at the Capital as secretary. Good for Zella. She has it coming to her. Do you remember Thelma Quayle? Miller asked me. Why, yesg certainly I do. She was in my Latin class all the way through. Well, said Miller, she has opened up her heart and also a home for homeless girls. She has this home, a very fine one in Chicago. The girls come there free of charge and stay until they get work. Then they pay when they can. That sounds mighty good of Thelma, I said. I wish there were more with the same heart. She has started a very fine thing. I remember in classes with Isabel Runyon that she could take more notes than any other two persons. And now today she works as stenog- rapher in the Cleveland Court, spoke Miller. And have you heard of the Burbick Five and Twenty-Cent Stores? No! Well, you'll run into them some day. Those belong to Ruth Burbick and she has built until she has quite a chain. We have another business woman in our midst, Pete Grier we called her. Well, no more as Pete Grier: she is now Thelma Grier 8z Co., manu- facturers of woolen goods. Heaven help us! Who's next '? I was down to see Nelson last summer. You know he is at Kentucky University coaching and he is quite a success. I'll have to see Nelson myself. Lucile Crawford struck things rich. She married a fellow who owned half of 'See and O' railroad, and she is enjoying her rides, which she gets for nothing. I remember in my classes of a girl with such long and beautiful hair. Do you remember Marian Drummond? She makes ladies' hair goods and she is quite extensively known. And last but not least by any means is Skinner and Johnston. They own a string of brick yards all through the eastern part of Ohio. Fine for them. I remember seeing a sample of their ware in Chicago last spring. Well, after this I think we should feel very proud of our class, don't ou ? y Yes, I do. Things have turned out far better than we expected. I propose a toast to the class and then I will go: Here's to the class of '22, May it go on among the few, Good will and happiness with them still. From mountain to mountain and hill to hill. -P. C. KESSELL, '22. 21

'I' The Tiger Stripe 'U' 'Dot' Quale has become a nurse and is now President of Women's Club of Graciousness. Yes, and also we have a mind reader. Grace Stoffel has taken the place of Eva Fay and is widely demanded. Remember Driggs? Wait a minute. Miller got up and started the victrola. The sweetest strains of music. When it was over I said, Fine, but why the music ? That orchestra is the 'Driggs' Melody Six'. Play it again, I said, it sounds like they used to sound in assembly. They make excellent music. Oh, yes, Gladys Kohert is working in Washington, D. C., for Uncle Sam. She is a letter expert. Fine, couldn't be otherwise, I replied. Ruth Bunting is traveling companion for Lady Gotmutch. She is en- joying herself very much. She is quite a conversationalist, I remember. 'Kats' Ripper and Roland McIntosh both are with American running teams at Olympic games. They placed in one thousand meter race in the same order. They both are runners from A to Z, I replied, and clean-cut men, but they are now too old to run. He went over to the table and brought back a book and there in black letters I read: Before and After by Miss Viola Caldwell. This is her greatest success, I'll bet. I must read it. Kennedy is an inventor, he invented a gyrasphone, an attachment to the telephone, that shows the face of the talker plainly while talking. He will succeed in this line of work, I said. There was a rather heavy-set girl in our class but I can't remember her name, Miller spoke up. ' Well, we ought to remember, I said. She lived downtown. Oh, that's Ruth Culp, I'll bet. Tell me has Ruth prospered and what is she doing. I have not heard of her in three years, but at that time she was on the sta.ge with a Troupe of Gymnastsf' What? Can she do swings and turns ? Miller answered. Well, she is always well spoken of by the papers, so she must. Hel' stage name is Madame Wellstonf' Well, I must look her up. But, remember Saltsman? He is out in the West somewhere with a tractor company. Good, I hope he sells enough tractors for the dead sea, I answered. Bruce Hoffman is business manager for the New York Bum Sign Co. He makes things go. He has placed the company on a firmhbasisf' I believe it, I replied, I know he can do it. Pearl Huff thought to enter the movies but was sidetracked by mar- riage before she arrived. She got a dandy man. He is a missionary from Africa. I think they both will go over soon. To think of Pearl teaching heathens, I muttered. And, oh, yesg Mary Hamilton is traveling around the country on the home talent play 'Which Hazel! She is doing nicely. I'll bet Mary is good at it. Another member of our class, Helen McIntosh. has studied and prac- ticed until she is now playing on the violin for 'Wonder Records'. Being served with lemonade, we drank to the class of '22. You remember back in '22 a guy built like a Tarzan, who trotted all over the gym? . 20
