(Mildred Christine Ahlstrom Kenneth Edgar Relyea.) Tt was the twelfth of June, 1926. The committee for the Tenth Annual Banquet of the class of 1916 had just adjourned for the day. The replies to our invitations were coming in fast; we had heard from everyone. They were all loyal to the class and were almost all coming to the ban- quet. While opening the replies, it occurred to us what a splendid idea it would be to collect all the little bits of gossip, wit and news which every letter contained, have a little | booklet made and sent to each mem- ber of our class. No sooner said | than done; we took each reply as it | came and thé following is the result. | We found that quite a few of our | classmates had remained in New Brit- ain,. The first response to our letter | came by telephone from Emma Perry who is now the mayor's stenographer. | The first letter was from Harold Seaburg, now a rising young phy- sician. He told a story about our class woman-hater, Judson, who 1s a married man. Upon taking out a life | insurance policy fn 1923, Judson came | to Seaburg to be examined. In the course of the examination, Dr. Sea- burg asked, “You don't dissipate or drink, do you?” Judson looked a bit frightened and replied, hesitatingly. “Well, I sometimes chew a little gum and ss MILDRED CHRISTI} ELSON IDNEY ALFRED MONTAGUE ropular moving picture actres: wrote us that she would come to the reunion.

Her book, entitled “Phil- osophy of Modern Slang” caused a | great sensation by this statement: “Do not consider a person polished just because you can see his finish.” | In her letter, Anna Brown enclosed booklet entitled “How to do dyeing and put on patches.” Never having thought Anna was so proficient in those domestic arts, T opened and read it to my enlightenment—Anna runs a beauty parlor downtown.

I cannot tell a lie.” “Well,” said his wife, “I can tell one every time I hear it.” The star reporter of the “Courant is “Scoop” Waskowitz.

A short time after the law was ed which states that children under sixteen should not be admitted without their par- ents, Fleischer put up the following notice, “Young children must have parents.” In Alice Harrison's letter there oc- curred this passage. ‘I am taking a course in domestic science and am be- coming quite proficient.

In their letter, Zephorine Carter and Sadie Bittner told us that during the war, they had been running a school in which they taugh sewing shirts and knitting socks for the soldiers. Thelr fame went far and wide—so did their socks.
