H -i Society claims Drusilla Lundean. She is at present touring the globe. The captain of the liner, Adolph Brugger, has promised to give her the best of service. On this same ship we find Helen Sentz bound for Europe. Helen is planning to complete her musical career there. Well, Geneva Magro has achieved fame. With her determination it is no won- der. She is the first lady governor of Wisconsin. Her stenographer, Josephine Fischer, has helped her select a very competent executive committee, among whom number Lawrence Witt, Frank Pemper and Frank Kocs. Eleanor Kinjerske and Merle Knisley have put in a number of years of hard work and effort to achieve a great establishment called the East Beach hotel at Naga- Wicka Lake. The grand opening brought many of our classmates together among whom were Leonard Lausten, a prominent lawyer from Oshkosh, Eddie Krainer, man of leisure fof course everyone knows Eddie's rich uncle died and left him his estatejg Alice Maney and Ellen Nick in partnership in the Ellen-Alice exclusive dress shop, Lorraine Lehn, artist, who proved her skill by winning first place at the American Artists' Exhibition, and Billie Lehrke, who is Captain of the Wisconsin Yacht Club. I am sure we all have seen and thoroughly enjoyed Wally Robertson's latest picture Only Saps Work, a thrilling college romance in which Jean Osteen was his leading lady. Sophia Greene, also an ideal of screen fans, has just returned from a trip abroad and has signed a contract for her next picture. Under the leadership of Agnes Bohte, Dean of Women at the American Academy of Science, we find Elaine Erickson industriously carrying on research work in the steps of her great ancestor Lief Erickson, the renowned discoverer. Elaine is about to discover something. What ho! She has found it, an ant in the sugar jar. William Berger has stuck like glue to his home town, Hales Corners. His faithfulness has been rewarded by receiving a unanimous vote for mayor. Little Laura Hinz keeps his business in tip-top shape in a big way. Lorin Vaneslow, by the way, has become an orator and statesman. At present he is giving a series of talks on the stock market over a nation-wide net work. He is likewise an ardent advocate of the chain stores. Let us return to good old West Milwaukee. Margaret Jaeger is the new Latin teacher and Corinne Linneman is preparing a group for the Forensic contest. Ann Oitzinger is carrying on the family business and is now owner of a group of grocery stores. The prophecy is ended. Awe struck we watch the smoke fade into space' and marvel at the tale it has revealed. Page Tfuenly .tefven

liwnhvra HE World! The massive melting pot is about to claim the class of '3l. One by one we see our classmates striding with determination, courage and vigor into this smoking, bubbling, boiling pot which claims and reveals all and tells nothing but the truth. It is ten years hence. Let us first turn our attention to Washington. The Senate, House and Presi- dent are still arguing prohibition. Our president, none other than Cully Kosmatka, is a strong advocate of the wets. Looking over the Senate we discover it has claimed Chulla Grafenauer, Jack Pemper and Charles Mazzone. Needless to say, there is frequent iilibustering. We wonder what has become of the two inseparablesf' Sure enough we dis- cover, not to our surprise, Eleanor Grafwallner, directress of the Athletic Department, and Agnes Stadler, supervisor of the Commercial Department in the new and fore- most All American College. VVay down on the open plains of Texas we find the A. VV. Ranch. Lo! and Behold! Can it be possible? Why, it is Alfred Wolter, breaking in a host of jumping bronchos. Watching this exhibition are the former Fern Troyer and her charming sister-in-law, Dorothy. Dorothy, by the way, is secretary to the president of the Ninety-sixth National Bank. Bob Wiesen has become a second Fritz Kreislerf' Bobby is director of the world's greatest symphony orchestra and he boasts of the skill of his solo trumpet player, Ella Hernest. Where's our little lVIillie Forrest? Why, it is no longer Forrest but lVIrs. VValter Kotwitz. The Kotwitz's are more than proud of Walter, Jr. New York theatre fans are raving over the biggest hit of the season, Range Vaudeville Co. starring Florence Range-comedienne and tap dancer, the silver- toned baritone- Jimmie Bennett and Edy Edwards-the good old trombone smearer. The world is paying due respect to two of our former classmates, Frank Blies- ener and Julius Bolfert, for the completion and perfection of radio television. Exhausted with honors for breaking swimming records our champ Wilfred Hin- risks has turned a life-guard brave-his aim pretty girls to save. Coach Hencsik and his assistant jack Beattie, of the great Northwestern Col- lege, are training their football team which has been undefeated for four seasons. Eleanore Knackert and Mildred Jones have formed a partnership. They operate an exclusive beauty shop on Broadway. Send for a copy of their Beauty Hints and Eleanore will tell you how you can grow attractive, beautiful, long eyelashes while Mildred will reveal the secret of obtaining golden, natural waves with little trouble.
