Or marry
And disappoint one woman
For life.

For life.
'FSeated just in back of these per-
sons are two ladies, whose faces look
very familiar. Mademoiselle Weiskopf
has come to New York to introduce
some of the new Partisan styles, and
the other lady is her old school chum,
Charlotte Charlotte looks just as sweet
and demure as ever and one would
never believe that she and Clarion
Grover were lecturing against the
spread of the obnoxious nquor traffic.
''These two ladies are too engrossed
in conversation to pay much attention
to the performance and the presence
of so many of their school-mates nat
urally leads them to speak of the alb
sent ones. Miss Griffith has met on
her travels many great lecturers, but
none, she holds not even Susan B.
Anthony herself can surpass Miss Cad
die Hill IN her advocation of the equal
rights of men and women in the suff-
rage
Laura Blood and Ethel Blush. both
graduated some years ago from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Laura in accor-
dance with her natural talents along
the lines of debate and oratory is now
giving courses at the University of
Chicago. Ethel who was more of an
athletic trend, studied physical culture
and secured a position as instructor in
one of the Alabama colleges.
While Charlotte was in Boston she
accidentally came upon one of our num-
Der who had established a reputation
for herself as one of the most reliant
literary critics of that city-Miss Clara
Hergert 1t seems that Clara before
taking up the field of literature had
studied medicine at the hospital where
Grace Leigler was practicing her favor
tie occupation of nursing.
"Another surprising fact is that Car
RE Schunckle has made her home in
England. She is very much interested
in old English and is considered an
authority in regard to Cnaucer. This
taste for literature was undoubtedly
cultivated in the Senior English class
at the old high school,
"Charlotte IS knowledge concerning
her old classmates reaches its limit
when she relates an incident that hap
pened the summer previous in little
mountain town among the Alleghanies.
She was spending short vacation here
and one morning while strolling out she
came upon a lonely painter who was re-
producing on canvas the beautiful
woodland scene just opposite him. It
was Vincent Pennefeather, now wan
dering landscape artist. Vincent al
ways did possess a strong desire for
travel
"Frances in turn tells of how Lucy .
Rogers is the rage Of Paris because Of
her wonderful power as fortune-teller;
and of how Eta Learned is gaining
an enviable position among the poets
of the day. Nor does she forget to
mention tnat Harriet Lewis has at last
given up her frivolous habits and has
settled down to a life of seclusion as
matron and chief supervisor of school
for maiden ladies.
sHThe night before leaving for Ameri-
ca, Frances attended a reception at
Madam Christina Van Lier IS salon in
honor of that fastidious and charming
little American-Doris Bailey. For
wit and brilliancy, this gathering place
rivaled the salon of Madame DeStael.
"Last, but most wondrous of all
comes the news that Sidney, our form
er class president, has forfeited all
claims to pleasurable existence and
has cast his lot among the Africans
where he poses as a Methodist minister
from his home town Kenosha.
"What strange tricks fancy can play
with US all. Here [ am still in the old
arm chair, the book in my lap lies open
to the self same page where I started
and surely, must have been dreaming.
The Valedictory
The closing number on the program
SO far as the members of the class were
concerned was the Valedictory given
by Hiss May Bell Whitaker. Miss Whit
aker proved charming speaker. She
said:
"And now we have come to the end
OF our course in the High School. How
long it seems when we look back upon
our entrance four years ago! And
what change the period has wrought.
One hundred strong we entered, but
time has scattered us and now but
tWenty-eight remain.
"Yet when we think of graduation,
are regret and sorrow at parting, the
only emotions we feel DO we not
feel exultant; elated that we have fin
ished? Yes, we do, we feel genuine
pleasure in the anticipation of being
out of school,
"Not because the work was hard, are
we glad, for nc matter what kind of
work we shall be engaged in, for the
greater number it will be harder than
that which we have done at school.
The pleasure then, must be in the fact,
that whether in school, Office, college
or home our work will be directed by
ourselves and. our reward will be as
