' liuy arc at prcsi ' nt coiniilclin tiicii- cducalion in Russia. Lenore Cousins has finally sucfumhed lo the charms of Archie ' clde and with his help is raising a family of thirteen orphans. Ozclma Wood and Kathleen Chishohn went to Hornco to civi- lize the wiki men, hut sad to say, thc dirln ' t acc()n)])lisli this fiul, for they fell in love at first siij;ht with the lirst two they met and are now living peacefully. Obera Prouty, after her extensive training in the I ' erndale (Cafe- teria, has taken charge of the Whatcom Cafeteria, and, strange to say, serves salt on her iK)laioes, which are never scorched. 1st Angel: Frances Minnick is a second Adrian Morgan, hut she had only two of them (hers are luishands, tliough). The unfortu- nate ones were Emil Nelson and Leslie Muscult. Emil was tlie lirst, but Frances thought she needed another because he didn ' t support her. Mildred Clarke has eloped with the honorable ex-senator I. O. U. Sumpin of Guatamala. Hubert Hawkins, who has, since graduation, grown side-burns and a mustache, marcelled his hair, and adojjted troubador panta- loons, charmed Irene Davidson so that she fell tlat for him. Inez Andrus is teaching carpentry at the Lynden University, and like Esther Buswell, has her classes full of the sterner sex. Katherine Hughes and Elvina Magill, in choosing their life work could not bear to go very far from their dear old high school, so they are now peddling pop-corn to the students during lunch periods. Anne Thompson is now running for the presidency of Mexico. She has learned to shoot beautifully so when customary assassins come for her she will be prepared. Elaine Paxton is her campaign manager, but she doesn ' t help much, as she has become so fond of cock-fighting that she does nothing but watch them. Frances Berolski and Olof Lindeman were married in 1930, but unfortunately they have been divorced. What ' s worse, even the di- vorce had a sad ending, for poor Frances is now an inhal)itant of the Sedro-Woollev Insane Asvlum, driven there bv the incessant talking of Olof. Margaret Taylor, after saving her pennies for many years has at last bought a circus, but this venture ended abrupt for she eloped with one of the monkeys. Kuth Anderson, after her year of physics, set up a laboratory and has invented, after working for many years, an electric light that will not work in the dark. Paul Van Liew and Eva Waidrip met while in Paris, and Paul, who is a minister, saved Eva from the depths of degradation for she had learned to smoke opium in the Parisian under-world. It might be added tliat they were married a year or so later. Twi iity-eislit.

Francis Wilcox has gone into the farming business, and he is very proud to run around in one of Henry Fiord ' s Lizzies since he gave up liis Buick. He has become a second Lutlier Burbank and has pro- duced a species of corn without a cob. Lucile Hancock has become an earnest suffragette. Her pet topic is Don ' t Let the Niggers Work — It ' s Against Their ReHgion. You remember slie was quite gone on this topic while at Whatcom. Wilma Clendenen has found a new profession. Following in the foot-steps of dalli-Curci, she has established a school for parrots where she teaches her pupils to sing So This is Venice and Marcheta. She hasn ' t been very successful so far as the parrots are still swearing. Clarence Pascoe and Herman Lange battled last year for the heavyweight championship of Marietta. But, sad to say, they fell into the Nooksack during the first round, causing the river to rise and flood the city, so the championship is still up in the air. Eleanor GrifTith has been busy the last thirteen years inventing a ruler to measure the feet in poetry. She has hnally been successful, and all the English teachers at Whatcom are now using this method. Well, as for Rhea Drain she has been, and still is coaching the girls ' football team at Whatcom. Her team has been playing all sea- son, but so far their only victory has been that from Acme. Oh, yes, and Evelyn Hagen, after keeping a hot-dog stand at Bat- tersby Field for ten years, linally took pity on Culver Willis ' indiges- tion and promised to love, honor, and cook for him. Due to her ex- perience in her profession, he has eaten nothing but hot-dogs since. .Jessie Kirby and Ernestine Lyon have done well in a matrimonial way. They have met and concjuered the gentlemen, I Will Ketchum and U. Soakum, resjjeclively, who are prominent oil magnates, having made their money in the Teapot Dome scandal. Vera Forbes and Nellie Wilson have at last bobbed their hair. They are the closest rivals of Edna Wallace Hopper and are at present in tiie Zieglield Follies. Vera ' s pictures are now used as a trade-mark for Clean-up Vaccuum Cleaners and Nellie ' s for Stay-Comb Bald- ness Producer. Marian Hayes draws large crowds to her husband ' s church with her aesthetic dancing which she renders just before the collection is taken up. Eleanor Dodson is employed by the L ietta Daily News, writing criticisms concerning the pineapples now being grown on the islands of the Bering Sea. She is making quite a name for herself in her journalistic career. Esther Buswell, strange as it may seem, has established a deaf and dumb school. The attractions of the teacher draw large crowds of men. She teaches reading, writing and arithmetic, but it is notice- able that the graduates of the school know little of any of these sub- jects, for they are, one and all so entranced with Esther ' s eyes that they forget everything else. William Atwood and INlary Hoyer, having married the year after they left school, have gone to Afghanistan to establish a society for the prevention of cruety to earwigs. Twenty-seveu

Lois Cozier and Zelda Hougliton have gone into the Painless Parker husiness. The only jiart tlial is painless is the dentists them- selves. They use chlorine as an anaesthetic, having learned its valu- able properties in chemistry. Ruth Bailey has gone into the laundry husiness. She takes it in by the tuhfuls. Her specialty is washing the white bloomers for the girls ' basketball team. Ethel Brook has at last returned to Montana where she is taming the cow-boys by means of her sweet voice and winning ways. The last time she was seen, she was wearing a crown of roosters ' tail- feathers. Esther Thai and I eonard ( hristie are playing doubles in the Davis Cup Tournament. Their efliciency runs in hitting the ball over the backstops. The last players they met were Jack Dempsey and Martha Washington. Dorothy Gogg has gone into grand opera. Her masterpiece is Good-Night Ladies. She has won all the gentlemen with this song. Her latest suitor is Svarre Miclu ' lsoii, who has invented a new per- fume which is a coniltination ol ' skunk-cabbage and over-ripe hen fruit. Dorothy uses it and ma] es a great liit with the audience. Poor hix Barlow! After burying the sad disap])ointment of seeing Edna Mae Hill elope with Leslie Stone, he took up the teach- ing of public speaking as the onlv jov in life, to the tune of Sweet Adeline. 2nd Angel: Dorothy Sinl s. in spile of her last name, has become a world-famous swimmer. She perforins at S(|ualicum on the shoots when the tide is out. Her siiecialty is i)ara(ling the beaches. She hangs her clothes on a hickory limb, but doesn ' t go near the water. Melba ColTman is chief cook and bottle-washer at the orphan asylum at Stillicum. There haven ' t Iteen any orphans yet, but she is still boiling — she keeps the cookie jar supplied in case the presi- dent should call upon her. .lolin Reynolds is the only one in the class who has prospered politically. He has run for everything from dog-catcher to governor, and after all this experience, and a great deal of expense, he has be- come constable of Sumas. Mrs. Elwood Bond formerly Mildred Riggs and her husband are drilling for oil in the Sandwicli Islands. The only oil they have found so far is salad oil, which was buried there by Captain Kidd. Last, but not least, Mildred Holmes is a nurse and is devoted to the worthy cause. When last heard of she was in the Yukon, nurs- ing rhinoceros ' and giraffes. She also is well-trained in the care of polar bears. That ' s a pretty line class, you ' ll have to admit — with only two members going the other way and they ' re just the two you wouldn ' t expect, Adrian and Bill. So I ' ll i)hone my friend, down the other way, that he only needs two sets of horns and two tails. Well, come to think about it, that always was a pretty good class — look who ' s in it. Curtain.
