Don said he had been at one of the performances in San Francisco. “Do you remember Olive Carlson ?” She is a noted soprano singer and sings in Adams’s chorus. I returned to Madame Douarnenez’s rooms and we again gazed into the crys- tal which held the present for each of us. Esther Evans had become a wall paper designer in New Orleans. Fearn Morri- son occupied her time directing the minds of kindergarten children and was very successful. Harold Daegling was seated on a piazza, smoking a long corncob pipe, in a very leisurely manner and in a drawling voice, directed a group of Japs, Indians, Italians and Poles, in their work on a sugar plantation in Hawaii. This elevated position required very little if any exer- tion and that part pleased Harold ex- tremely. Lucile was in Zacatecas, Mexico, di- recting a small class of natives in music and art. Robert Spillar was a mechan- ical and mining engineer, exploring the coal fields of Alaska. Edward Bartisska was a cartoonist for the Chicago Exam- iner. He filled the place left vacant by the death of Bud Fisher and his cartoons were enjoyed by thousands. Gladys Harper had taken up Domestic Science as her life work and was teach- ing it to the natives at the Methodist Mis- sion in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Frieda Goebel was perfecting her knowledge of the German language at the Berlin Uni- versity. Anna Baumel had taken up nursing and was now employed as head nurse in the Standard Oil Company’s hospital, which had been recently erected. Hilda Ahlgren was engaged by the Kidpath Lyceum Bureau as an interpre- tive reader. Donald Spurrier, the class beauty, was the nominee for the States Senatorship. Donald had always been a favorite with the ladies, when in school and his best weapon of defence in his fight for election was his promise to boost Woman Suffrage in Indiana. Ernst Vater had become a junior part- ner in his father’s extensive coal business. Harold Cameron was running for State Senator on the Socialist ticket against Donald Spurrier on the Progressive. Lou- ise Mattern was the physical director of women at Bloomington and was very popular. It was getting late and as I had de- cided I must look elsewhere for a posi- tion I started to go. Marguerite insisted that I wait and go to the Gaiety writh her. We secured seats in the front row. The first part was a short comedy entitled “The Old Man’s Money.” The actor taking the part of the old man seemed familiar to me and when he started to talk, my thoughts went back to the old school days when Donald Parks so often delighted and entertained the pupils with his acting. Surely no one else could act the old man’s part in just that way but Donald. The last thing on the program was a reel of Mutual Movies. It pictured a love- lorn lass of Scotland. The lass was a very prim, blond, and reminded me strangely of someone I had seen. I turned to Mar- Continued on Page 79 27
