Because of my long and varled experleace as w1fe of the Presldent
P the Un1ted States, I declded to leave a record of my l1fe for pos
tCT1tY Perhaps the most satlsfactory way to refresh my memory would
be to look up my old frlends from A H S
On the evenlng of my departure to gather materlal, I was glven a
testlmonlal dlnner by the woman's commlttee of my husband's polltlcal
party Imag1ne my surprlse to see that the prlnclpal after dlnner
speaker was my old fT1EPd and classmate, Irene Claassen, who had galned
her start on the lecture platform ln hlgh school speech class
The flrst lap of my cross country Journey took me to Chlcago fkre
I called upon the polltlcal boss of Chlcago who was none other than,
Ablgall Van Helden Ablgall told me she va havlng a good deal of d1f
flculty w1th the nKle1n mobu wrose boss was Charlotte Kleln, NQueen of
the Rlver Wards U She was over goyed, however, by the fact that her
prosecutlng attorney, Delores Jean Nelnders, had sent that notorlous
plck pocket, Darrell Bleeker, to prlson for ten years
For a llttle relaxatlon I dropped ln at UMadame Chl Ch1's Salon,
models, who told me she was modellng Joan Abbas' trousseau
excluslvely deslgned by Sylvla Anderson
After my stay ln Chlcago, I stopped 1U at my old home
Iowa, where I stayed for a few days w1th my frlends, Verla
Pops As I was tlred after ry long Journey, we declded to
evenlng and watch telev1s1on

The flrst QTOSTHIH WHS 8 HGWSCHSL Among the sports :Items was the
amazlng story o the star of the UBrooklyn Bums,W George Abbas Then
the scene changed to the Kentucky Derby where the canera plcked out
from the crowd, Joe Steffen, who was the leader of a large bettlng syn
dlcwte The flnal ltem on the news broadcast was the story of the
trlumphant return of Rlta Kenlnger, the world's only woman blg game
hunter, from the Amazon gungles of Brazll She brought back scores of
anlmals and plans to form her own clrcus
The next program came on to the sound of soft muslc and the nasal
slnglng of NMy Tlme Is Your Tlmen It was Rudy Vallee who was pre
sentlng hls newest protege, Terry Shellard In the back ground I not1ced
the bulky form of Duane Dlemer It seems that Duane had been h1red to
act as body guard for Nr Shellard. Then came tlme for the commerclal
and guess who the slnger was DICK S1C8Tdl Another guest on the pro
gram xas, Donna Schlampp, that glamorous soc1al1te Donna was wear1ng
a black evenlng dress drlpplng wlth Jewels as she announced her engage

the local clothing store and Marlene owned the Hiding Academy. Delbert
Drew was now the minister of the St. Johns Church. It seems that from
the class of 'SO one of the girls, Henrietta Abbas, had become a teacher
and one of the boys, Clair Holdgrafer, was the most successful prin-
cipal ever hired at Ackley.
Reluctantly I left my home town and set out on the next lap of my
journey which took me to Omaha On the plane to Omaha I met Dolores
Win ers, stewardess, and Duane Hanig, passenger, who, after the plane
landed, took me to Rosemaxy's Drive In Theatre The film featured the
new Rudolph Valentino who turned out to be none other than Harold Lin
daman! There was also an animated cartoon which was drawn by the now
fannus cartoonist, Paul DeVr1es
After the theatre we stopped in at the home of Roxie Fossler W
found her sitting on the porch knitting a rug Roxie was able to tell
me the whereabouts of some of the others Velma Holcomb was with the
J nuw'Lynch Death Dodgers Glennus Hinders is a professor of German
at Northwestern Ronald Harken had opened a large hatchery in the out
skirts of Omaha
The next day we stopped at the Kaus Clinic which was under the
direct on of that eminert doctor, Ruth Kaus On the staff of the hos
oital, as pediatrician was Bill Heffelmeier Ruth took me to the
pera ng room where two serious cases were being treated They were
Norris Ackerman and Kerle hevenhoven, who had been in a fight the night
before
Bidding Ruth adiea, I took the plane to Reno, Nevada Here I
ner+ a 'ew hours in Gail Schoenemann's Gambling Casino which was mas
q e ading under the 'gu se of a dude ranch Lurking among the guests
was that infamous international soy, Madame Y, who was in reality,
rern duesman She was sitting at the table with Elmer Keninger, who
