Dressed in uniforms of khaki, Voices hoarse fromtshouting Halt l Came two sergeants from the army, Maschall Brothers-Charles and Walt. John D. Shoemaker's a surgeon, Has retired with a wad, As a surgeon.he's an artist, Has put fourteen 'neath the sod. Pewee Richardson has changed some, Is a man of brawny arms, Got his strength from Mother Nature, Milking cows on Vela's farms. In the field of children doctors, Ralph and Leonard lead a mile- Children take to them like candy, .Mothers love their ready smile. From a distant town in Utah, Neville came, and Neiman toog Neville's lost his girlish beauty, Neiman's hairs, once thick, are few. Gone that air of slight aloofness, Gone that superficial stare, Both just plain old country farmers Plodding, bent beneath life's care. In a mansion out at Bryn Mawr James S. Caterson resides, Has a large and spacious factory, Deals in leathers and in hides. 26

Paul C. Hendee was quite prosperous, But he took one downward flop- Now he works down at the Bellevue, Where he runs the barber shop. Billy Hamilton's a banker, Runs a private stock exchangeg Eddy Post is working for him, He's the one who counts the change. Sammy Parke, the great magician, Lives in a palatial homeg Years have increased Samuel's girth, and Put a shine upon his dome. Samuel tried to show us tricks there, Took a dollar from his ear- Put it in his mouth and swallowed, Then he made it reappear. Came from distant South' Sea Island, Took a little from his hoard, Lawrence Curry, good old Lawrence, Faithful still he serves the Lord. Edwin Laning's tried his hand at Everything that came along, Is in business now with Marvin, Still he gets along with Long. Peers in chemistry were present, Who had earned a little kale- For the world looks with respect on Erwin, Biernbaum and Lew Hale. 25

There was bustle and a shouting, And he came in with a vim, Large old chap with massive shoulders, Samuel Koss now teaches gym. Herman Kohn deserves some mention, Mesirov and Mayer, too- In the lists of textile owners They rank with the select few. Melhorn, and his friend McCandless, Are attorneys of the law, Phil supplies the brain-work needed, And it's Nat who works his jaw. On the semi-monthly Journal Of the staff of Daily Cheese, In this strongest paper ever- William Trowbridge blows the breeze. Of the men at the reunion There were some stood out that day, Who accumulated fortunes- One of these was Henry Gray. Yes, Hen made a mint of money Many men have tried to mooch, The secret of the combination Of Gray's substitute for hooch. In that strike in Grimwade's foundry There was one who led the list, Daniel Gaudin ran the labor, Ran them with an iron fist. 27
