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. Twenty-nine

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.
