Mysurprise was boundless when I discovered, further, that two of the prosperouslooking directors were myoid classmates of '24, name!y, MaryBrady and Clara Hunley.I was glad to find that the next scene was in Linton. The town ,vasmuch larger than before. High buildings loomed up everywhere, andprosperous looking business establishments were very much in evidence.There was a new post office. Inside this, in a room with "Postmaster"printed on the door, sat a man and two women. One of these was evidentlyhis wife. The other, I concluded from the conversation, was th8 wife ofa wealthy manufacturer of Chicago. In a little while I recognized ElmerMoss, and you can imagine my surprise when I discovered CatherineSharp to be his wife. The other lady was Margie Parks.Again the scene changed, and I saw an elaborate building in New Yorl~and a sign which read, "Sylvia Bach, Modiste." I saw her emerging fromi.he shoppe; she nodded at a gentleman and lady who passed in a beautifullimousine. I learned to my astonishment that they were the Mayor anlthis wife. Looking closely, I discerned the lady to be Mabel Rupert andthe man to be Clyde Reintjes.The next scene which came to my eyes was a Bolshevik meeting inNew York. The maddened crowd was jeering, laughing and threatening.and waving their arms in wild gestures at the speakers. But just atthat moment a new speaker appeared. He was applauded with shouts ofpraise and vigorous handclapping. I knew at onee that this was Lesliel\1'yers, grand chief of the Bolsheviks.In the next picture I saw a hospital in Indianapolis; a white cappednurse was hurrying here and there. It was Mabel Stein! A doctor detainedher in the hallway. I soon recognized him as Frank Gennicks. Thenurse then entered a room and paid much concern to a patient whom Iknew at once was one of myoid classmates. Upon looking closely I recog··nized Cecil Morron. From the converc:ation which followed, ,I learned thatZeke was a valuable member of the D. S. C. (Department of Street Clean ··ing) of Indianapolis. He had accidentally stumbled over a garbage canand had broken his left elbow.The scene faded, but another almost instantly took its place. I saw abuilding where a musicale was being held. I was not surprised when 1l'ecognized Mary Symms as the pianist there. I soon discovered two morewhom I knew; they were Maude Woodruff and Lillian Taylor, who werenow celebrated singers.The next scene showed the exterior of an opera house. J n flamingletters a sign read, "Mildred Humphreys in 'Conquest of Man.'" Thiswas declared by critics to be the best play on the stage. I noticed in thelist of characters supporting her were Aileen Brown and Hazel Bunch. Itwas indeed a great surprise to me to learn that three of my classmateswere on the legitimate stage.Following this picture I saw a gymnasium in which a c:)mely womail• 11111. 11m. 11 1. 111. 1111. 11 11 . 11 11 11 . 1111.111 1: • . 11 11 • . 111. 11 1.
