Olive Lebo was the next, I saw, With curves and twists and dots. She is a commercial teacher. Her pupils say she knows lots. George Linn is a gyrnn instructor, A coach of basket ball. When it comes to making a real team, He has one that beats them all. You've heard of the great pianist, Marguerite Markle-a schoolmate of mine. She thrills great audiences everywhere With her playing superbly fine. A teacher is Bessie Nichols, She wields a compass and rulerg A math teacher of great fame is she, l'm sure none ever could fool her. Margaret Nufer is a stenographer, Her employer thinks she's the best. In every trial of faith and trust, She has always passed the test. And who hasn't visited Madam Lucile? Her milliner's store is a beauty, With hats designed by her own hands, And many clerks on duty. Olive Planck has become a writer, She has followed the modern way. Short stories are her specialty, Her works will be classics some day. In our midst was an opera singer, Her singing without a flaw, Little did we realize it then, When we heard Kate Reidelbach. Next is Evea Rinebarger, A stenographer with will, She has won herself a name By her efficiency and skill. Dana Starr is the same as of old, And just goes along life's way, Weighing wheat and other grains, Enjoying each passing day. The demand of the business world Appealed to quiet Grace: She became a stenographer And still is in the race. Lucy has chosen an actress' life, And performs in every city. She makes her audience laugh or cry With a sad song or silly ditty. Ella is a school teacher, Primary work is her line. The little tots learn the ABC's, And say them in voices fine. Francis Weaver went away to school And is now a professor in college. Teaching science is his specialty, Thus he displays all his knowledge. Well, that is the end. Now I'll tell you the truth. l'm an old maid teacher, And my looks are my proof. -GENEVA FITES

As l turned its pages, and one by one The pictures did survey, I thought of my old schoolmates And where they are today. And Helen has risen high And is known in every state. She has become an artist, O. e that is really great. Dictator of fashions is Myrtle Known afar and near. She has been successful, That is very clear. Ralph Benbow is a comedian, His name on Broadway shines. If you haven't seen him act You're considered behind the times. And Ross has become a banker, Always willing to give aid. So if you need assistance He'll help you make the grade. And next l saw Maude Crane, A secretary by the way, To the head of our country, To the President of the U. S. A. Sarah, of all this large group, Was the one who became a nurse. Her patients do one of two things, Get well or ride in a hearse. Orville is now a carpenter Of whose work none ever complain. One who is always so in demand That his services are hard to obtain. And Charles Doyle is an actor, A hero so good and brave. If you hear the girls speaking of Chuck. You'll know it's about him they rave. Dick Freeman, too, has succeeded, He was elected to Congress last fall. I saw in the paper last week He was in Representative Hall. George Ginther is a prosperous farmer, He lives just south of town. He has made himself very famous, With chicks with feathers like down. And next is Beulah Haag, A domestic science teacher you know. All the girls in her class She teaches to cook and sew. Gladys Hummel comes next in line. She lives on a large farm now, She makes a splendid little wife, And cook-she really knows how. And Verne Elmo we called him,- ls running a clothing store. It is the largest one in town. He's planning to start two more.
