It has 'taken Life twenty years to rise to the distinction of a Contributors' Column, but one seems necessary and fitting in this last issue. It will surely add to the reader's pleasure to follow the careers of these makers of earlier isiuesl of the magazine, and to find that many have continued to develop the talent that they displiayed while in SC 100 . George Tandy, January 1909, attended Vifashington University brieliy and then en- tered business. He is now assistant sales manager for the Union Electric Light Co. Fred F ix, June 1911, better known in his High School days as Peter, was for two years the financial biulwark of Life . He has carried his business ability into com- mercial life, and is now a substantial citizen in North St. Louis, Secretary of the North St. Louis Planing Mill Co., and prominent in Masonic circles. Wiillard Farnham, june 1908, graduated brilliantly from the University of VVisconsin and took his Ph. D. degree at Harvard. He was an instructor in the Department of English at Xlfashington and Lee University for a time and for the last three years has been Associate Professor of English in the University of California at Berkeley. His record of the places in which Mr. Yveatman lived will fix in our minds landmarks which the steady march of the city has completely obliterated. Neil Brown, june 1914, graduated from Wfisconsin University, attended the first of- ficers' training camp at Fort Sheridan and served a year overseas as liaison officer. He is now assistant editor of the Execu- tive's Magazine , formerly The Wfest at VVork. Fred Doyle, June 1910, a capable Editor of Life -sometimes its chief contributor -is now studying at St. Louis University to become a Jesuit. Sucille Bryant, June 1907, remembered in the early days of Yeatman as the all round student, has had busy years since leaving Yeatman. After graduating from the Uni- versity of Missouri, she taught at Cleveland High School, in Hawaii, and did overseas war work. She is continuing her career as Mrs. C. A. Carlysle, manager of a husband and small daughter. Her home is in Bir- mingham, Alabama. ' Helen Landwehr, June 1917, attended Harris Teachers College and the University of Missouri and is now teaching in St. Louis at the Clark School. Wialter VV ood, the President of June 1918, speaks to us most appropriately in Taps, written while he was in camp. He is one of the gallant Yeatman boys who died as a result of the Wiorld NVar. Is the Beaumont the result of the Scho- lastic Sardine Can ? If so, the community should express its appreciation to Dorothy Davison, now Mrs. Eno 1Ninius, and Dent McSkimming, sport writer for the Post- Dispatch. Roma Schaefer, June 1924, is continuing her studies at VV'ashington University. Irene Krummel. January 1915, has been graduated from the City College of Law and is now ready to get us out of trouble. Herbert Rauch, June 1917, was last heard of on the way to Florida, where we hope he has already made his million. Valesca Satterlield, January 1918, is a physician. If he prescribes a rest cure for his patients, he will surely stipulate that it be spent in the Ozarks. Mildred Schleuter, June 1925, is busy making designs for her father's Wood- carving. Katherine Emerson, June 1922, another Life Editor, has made an enviable name for herself at the Purina Mills, where she has been the assistant in the personnel depart- ment. jane Gifford has continued her author- ship in Red Feather, a series of Indian stories for use in the grade schools. She is now teaching in the Horace Mann School, the model institution connected with 'Colum- bia University, New York City. Francis Kaiman, January 1914, is writing advertising for the National Bank of Com- merce. One Hundred Eighty-three

First the ultra-collegiate hat worn by Mr. Fuller at the Yeatman-Roosevelt game at Maplewood. The cock of this cranium pro- tector worn by our honorable principal was enough to give any team a lighting spirit. XVe wonder whether the cock of this hat was really intended as a means of showing spirit or whether he was introducing a new style. Maybe it was an accident. W'e wish to ask Mr. Huntington if he bought tickets for all of the feathers which were in l1is hat at the Senior Color Raising Ceremony. If he did, he had enough to dis- place at least ten tickets. Maybe he took them when the Student Council wasn't look- ing. Who knows? We at least are sure that Mr. Kelly did not punch tickets for all of them. W'e at least must commend Mr. H. for his wonderful school spirit. One Hundred Eighty-two ' LOOK VVHAT AGE DID TO HIM!

Noel Stearn, June 1914, graduated from Leland Stanford University, where he be- came a gymnasium instructor for a time. Later, he took his Ph. D. degree in Geology at VVisconsin University. At present is an instructor there and is, besides, making him- self recognized as an authority on road materials. He still enjoys playing with rhymes and rhythms. The social anguish that he immortalizes in this issue of 'iLife should reconcile the present day Seniors and New Seniors to afternoon parties to which the girls do not need escorts. Theodore Vickroy, june 1917, one time Editor of f'Life, is now a very efficient efficiency man for the Bell Telephone Com- pany. Addie Beimes, june 1924, is in her Sopho- more year at Vlfashington University, where her Freshman scholarship record ea1'ned her a scholarship.

He has recently been admitted to the New York law firm of which Mr. Elihu Root is a prominent member. Vera Putnam, january 1916, is now Mrs. Arthur Riechers. To her friends and a small public she continues to give pleasure with her charming voice. Frank Inteman, June 1920, is bookkeeper and accountant for the Evans and Howard Brick Company. Margaret Carrol, june 1919, is still writ- ing letters-not for royalty, but for a St. Louis business firm, whose capable secre- tary she is. Dewey Wfayne, January 1917. has been with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ever One Hundred Eighty-four since his graduation. He is now Secretary of the St. Louis District of the Central Freight Association. Marguerite Grace, June, 1914, is devoting her energies to encouraging the musical tastes of the rising generation.

Jesse Roberts, june 1915, after leaving Y eatman, graduated from Harvard, had ranching experience in New Mexico, was in the Harvard officers' training camp, became a 2nd lieutenant, studied at the University of California, took a degree in Commerce and Finance at Harvard, and is now con- nected with the maintenance and cost de- partment of a large manufacturing company in Los Angeles. Esther Johnson, June 1917, an enthusi- astic worker for Life,', indeed for all good things of the School, has recently returned from a visit to her relatives in England, a pleasure she indulged in with enviable fre- quency. During one of these trips she had a year's interesting connection with an Eng- lish school for girls. Gertrude W'alther, june 1917, attended Smith College and W'ashington University. She is well known among St. Louis lovers of The Little Theatre for her intelligence and charm as an amateur actress. Robert Fisher, June 1920, took his degree at the University of Missouri in 1925. His early interest in school affairs as recorded in HLife in the Portables is still with him evidently, for he is teaching History at Principia. Nanine Girard. June 1911, graduated from Teachers' College and taught in the St. Louis schools before becoming Mrs. Bauer. Irene Mueller.
