Chick-Hello, Milton. Haven't seen you for a long while. Where are you lo- cated now? Don-Oh, I'm the President of the largest Bank in Middlesworth. W'hat are you doing for your health? Chick-Oh, I'm still at the old job. Coaching the boys to play ball. My team won the State Championship last year and figuring strong on it again this year. We haven't lost a game yet. Don-Say, do you remember when we used to go to the old brick prison QW. C. H. SJ ? Chick-VVel1, I have a faint idea. Have you heard of any of the old classmates and know what they are doing? Don-Well, I don't know whether I know what all of them are doing or not, but I heard the other day that Burl Mitchell had invented a new car which is 'similar to the Ford only it runs on the ether in the air instead of gasoline, after it is started and warmed up with a little gas. They say that he has it patented and are afraid that he is going to run Pete Gray out of business. I suppose you knew Pete had bought out Henry Ford's factories didn't you? Chick-Yes, I heard about that and I sure was surprised. Did you hear about John and Helen? They got married soon after school was out and John wanted to go to Russia to be a missionary and Helen wanted to be a nurse so they parted and each went his way. Gu-ess they are taking life happy now. Don-Did you hear about Barton Lovins teaching school? Chick-No. Where? - Don-Oh, he is professor of the College at Quigley and is teaching Physics. Chick-Have you seen anything of Casey Duncan anywhere? Don-Oh, yes, he comes to Middlesworth quite often. You know Mildred and he were married soon after school was out and he has now taken possession of the old home farm southeast of Windsor in the grove. You know where that is. Chick-Oh yes. Say, what's this I hear about Olta Reynolds and Wesley Scheef? I heard they were, in partnership in some big firm of some kind. Don-Yes. They have gone in partnership and started up a street car firm in Kirk. I guess they are making good. Do you know whatever become of Shorty Finley? Chick-The last I heard of him he was conductor on a wheel barrow in Chicago. llllllillHfll3SCEES?iiil3lIUllI1ilHi1llllilillilillflilllliilliilllHillillNllillIllNNENlilllllllllmflllll' H H 5 Hlllllllllllfill'29H3QllllllllllllllHiHiHlilHHHiHiH1IHlllllliliiilliflilllllllllllllilllllllllllllf Nineteen

llillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllillllliilllilllill nw Tllllllllll1llN33lllllHH?illllTllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllll I also heard that Harold Falk was the chief of the shoe blacking company up there. Don--I guess Agnes Shaffer and Mabel Rawlings are making good also. They are working in a tailoring factory in Gays. Chick-Have you h-Gard from Capon and Fred since they got back? Don-Back from where? Chick-Back from their trip. You know they went to Europe as representatives in the aviators' contest of the world. I heard th'e plane fell and skinned Fred's nose. I was just wondering if it hurt him any worse. Don-I saw in the paper where Glen Armantrout had a good job. Chick-What is he doing? Selling ladies' hose as usual? Don-No, not now. You know they are just wearing three 'quarter now so that is all he can sell. Chick I saw in the paper that Daisy Rankin was teaching school. Don-Well, she was teaching English in the High school at Middlesworth, but she fell in love with one of the students and got married. Chick-Did you ever hear what became of Opal Jackson? Don-Well, there wasn't much to hear only the shots of guns and the noise the boys made when they charivaried them two nights after our graduation from old W. C. H. S. Mabel Jones never did get that sheik she was wanting. They' said she went to Russia as a Missionary when John and Helen split up. I don't know whether she went as a missionary or to get John. Chick--I suppose you heard about Alice Shadow being in the' movies didn't you? She said it didn't hlurt her a bit when they threw' her on the screen. I suppose you heard about Ola Elliott? DonfYes. She became a senator, didn't she? Say, do you remember Glenn Hart? Chick-Yes. What is he doing? Don-Well, the last time I heard of him he was brakeman in a fire department. They say that Mildred Grant has a job in an ice plant killing flies. They said she tried to take Daisy's fellow away from her, but I guess won and later I heard Mildred was chief dish and bottle washer in a hardware store. Chick---What fever became of Heap big Guard Carl Linder? Don-The last I heard of him hte had a job in a hairpin factory splitting toothpicks. Chick-Well, this is about all of them, isn't it, except Lawrence Juhnke and Ada Kirk? Don-Guess it is. Well, Lawrence and Tead Wallace, I think, went into partner- ship to run a farm out northeast of Windsor. They are still making good I guess. Chick-Well, did you ever hear anything of Ada? Don4You bet I do. It's an everyday occasion. Didn't you know we were mar- ried soon after school was out and we've lived together 'ever since. Chick-Well, I didn't know that. I sure am surprised. Well, my train is com- ing and I must go. If you see anything of any of the old classmates, wish them my good luck, and it may be a little late but congratulations to you anyway.
