sick to her stomach. Robert had
not said goodby, had not told her
that he was leaving. Surely he
could have done that
After all, II you loved girl, and

body else had entered your life, you

Robert wasn't a coward. 1t must
mean, then, that he had considered
the matter so finished, so complete,
that there was nothing more to
say.

Not until this moment had she
thought Of this move. But all of
a sudden, in a space as brief as a
bright meteor falling or a singing

made up her mind. She did not
want to live here. Robert was
gone. Ronnie never would come
again. Caroline was married.
There had been too much drama
in the small apartment for her to
live in it now in quietness, with the
whisper Of tall trees in the garden

companions.

More than 10 persons attended the

OF the 80 survivors Of the orig
lnal class membership of 200, only
18 were at the dinner. The remain
der included husbands and widows
of those who had died as well as
honorary members and guests.
Charles S. Davis was elected
president of the class to succeed
Mrs. Grace Neyhart Bevard.
Other officers named were Mrs.
Arabelle Norton, first vice president;
Mrs. Frederick o. Roman, who was
reelected second vice president;

Class Declared average"
AS far as he could remember, his
class was an average one, according
to Mr.. Williams.
We've produced our share of
notables," he said, but most of us
do our work without being out
standing in any particular field"
Mr.. Williams himself is a former
auditor of District Court.
The class has one chief aim to
fame, however, he pointed out. At
the graduation exercises, President
Grover Cleveland distributed diplo-
mas, thus making the group the
only high school class ever to re-
ceive diplomas from a President of
the United States.
Two brigadier generals were men,
hers of the group, he recalled. They
were Brig. Gen. William E. Horton
and Brig. Gen. Henry C. Fisher, both
OF whom are dead.
Asked whether the class had
named one of its number as most
likely to succeed" and most likely
to fall Mr.. Williams admitted that
1t had but confessed he couldn't re-
member which members of the class
had been so characterized.
Most Members Still Here.
Although most of the members of
the original class still live in the Dis
trict, several have moved as far
away as the State Of Washington
while two live in Vermont, he de-
clared.
In short talk, Mrs. Bevard de-
scribed the growth of the District
high school system as we'll as the
enlargement of the school curricu-
lum.
