refinished the White House for the First Lady, the former RACHEL ARCHAMBAULT. Along with this information, she also told us of a concert given that evening by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, with LORRAINE BUISSON, pianist, and JOYCE BOUDREAU, conductor. The following day, with our farewells said, we drove down Chicagds magnificent Lake Front, and took our last look at the colorful Buckingham Fountain and the majestic Wrigley Building, prides of a city we would never forget. We still had many long miles and hours to travel but when we thought of the joys of the first half of our trip, we drove eagerly onward. Akron, Ohio, was our next stop. Here we met perhaps the most successful of all our friends, PAULINE DAIGNAULT, now married to a prominent city ofiicial, was holding a tea that afternoon. Among the invited guests were MARY THERESA AVERY, VERNELLE THOMAS, and HELEN GIARD, all married and with growing families. Immediately afterwards, we proceeded to nearby Cleveland. The first thing to come to our eyesight was a HUGE building with an extra HUGE sign entitled, Reinikainen Furniture . We didn't think it possible that Theresa should be way out there, but through curiosity we inquired about it. Sure enough! It was none other than THERESA REINIKAINEN, formerly of St. Ann's Academy. Vice-president of this firm was MISS CECILE CROTEAU and upon further inquiry we discovered that a MISS ALICE LAVOIE, had recently been employed. That evening, on our way to a local theater we stopped at Beauregard's Sport Shop to ask if ESTELLE and her partner ROSEMARIE DENONCOURT wished to join us. Montgomery Clift was making a personal appearance that night and you can imagine our surprise when he was introduced by his Secretary-Manager, JOAN LAVALLEE. Also appearing in the show was the acclaimed queen of ball-room dancing, ANNA KEENAN. Going backstage after the show, we chatted for hours with Anna and Joan. In the course of our reminiscing, Anna told us that JEANNE BENOIT was a nurse at St. Vince-nt's Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts. The next day, we bade good-bye to our friends and went on to New York. There, we spent a few days, catching up on shows, concerts and operas. We were very fortunate in getting tickets for vocalist DORIS PREFONTAINE's debut at Carnegie Hall. Her accompanist, DOLORES LETENDRE invited us to the Opera to see Manon starring DENISE LEMIEUX, soprano. At an art exhibit, the following day we saw GERTRUDE VALADE's latest painting, The Lady and the Watermelon. The model for this masterpiece had been ELOISE MILLETTE, On our way back to the hotel we were attracted by a window display at Nicole's the greatest name in fashions. With the purchase of a few dresses foremost in our minds, we entered the shop and were presented to the buyer of the concern, THELMA MAURICE. Thelma, in turn, introduced us to Nicole , ELIZABETH PIETROLUONGO. Our last day in New York, we attended a debate at Columbia University, given by the pupils of FRANCE SAVOIE's English Class. LENA BOLDUC, just back from Paris, had accepted a position to teach French at the University. In the exciting tales of her life on the continent she mentioned a reception given for the new ambassador to Spain, JACQUELINE LAREAU. Another bit of news from Paris was that WINIFRED CARTIER and JOAN BRIGHAM had been successful in establishing their new fashion salon. Back in Boston again two days later, we encountered SHIRLEY BROOKS, governess and LORRAINE JALBERT, music professor at the Conservatory. We invited them to our apartment and gave them an account of our trip. In two months time we had had the thrill of touring the country and had expe- rienced that special joy attached to meeting once again with old friends. . Louise Soldani Anita Letourneau 7 2 Ib--
