MY DIARY Of= 1959 ashingcon, D. C, July 2 0, 1959. Dear Diary: Went down to my office this morning and, as I walked into the wait- ing room, was very much amazed to see one of my old classmates, June Kohl, sitting there, and I learned that she was private secretary to the President of the United States, Little Bernd Gartner, another member of the class of ' 3 8. We at once began dis- cussing the other 47. She informed me that Robert Lee Bender was Foreign Minister to Japan accompanied by Jack McEwen, his valet. I had an emergency call which ended our conversation, but we planned to lunch together at noon and continue the discussion. July 21, 1959. Dear Diary: Extracted four teeth in the forenoon and then went to lunch at the High-Hat. There I met June and much to our amazement found the proprietor to be none other than Bradley Swift and his better half, Donna Mae Griffin. And our smiling waitress we found to be Pauline Frazier. As we were lunching, the band struck up a lively tune which immediately drew our attention to Arnold Pepple, swinging a mad baton in the Calloway style, the band featuring Dean Rose as a singing troubadour . Since it was recess time for the Supreme Court, in walked several of the Justices. We recognized Wade Letts, Stephen Ransburg, and Robert Devine, now Chief Justice of the Court, with his attractive wife Beth Brown, now Speaker of the House . We left the High-Fiat well pleased with our having seen so many of our old classmates. We stepped outside and hailed a taxi only to find Jimmy Zuber at the wheel. As we rode past the Education Building, we noticed a large crowd assembltd. After inquiring of Jimmy, we learned it was the National Teachers ' Convention. Looking the crowd over, we recognized Professor Mark Aldrich of Harvard University, and Winifred Berlien, now the Dean of Women at Vassar. We then went to my aparfment and picking up the evening paper, noticed in headlines, U. S. Victorious Over Britain in Tennis Tourney. The victors were Clarellen Guilford and Catherine Griffiths, with Laurine Hostetler as their manager. We read that now Laurine is also noted as a manager for prize fighters and all Olympic stars. Looking over the sports section, we noticed that dear old A. H. S. is again winner of the National Basket Ball Tourney under the supervision of Mack Hosack and also that since Dale Cole started pitching for the Cubs, they had so much power that they had to change the name to the Bears . June spent the night with me. July 22, 1959. Dear Diary: This morning I was called to a meeting of doctors in New York City. When stepping into the plane, I was helped by a very attractive stewardess, Marcy Shank. She informed me that the pilot was Dick Small. The plane was beautifully streamlined since it was designed by the famous artist, Betty Brown. I had a very inter- esting talk with Marcy as she had seen some of the old class of ' .3 8 since I had. She told me that Marcelle Greenfield and Phyllis Green had started a ver) ' successful dance team and that at present they were out in Hollywood working in a new picture under the direction of Don Weaver, a famous technicolor photographer. She also said that Emagene Hendershot was a brilliant success on the screen as well as a world famous opera singer. I was told that Marguerite Baker and Mary Bolinger were well known authors — writing on Advice to the Lovelorn . They also help the movie stars in thinking up new ways to get rid of their husbands, as running off to Reno isn ' t exciting enough any more. Arriving at the convention, I recognized Dr. Wendell Aldrich, presiding as chair- man. Wendell is now famous for inventing zippers to close the operation incisions instead of the old fashioned way of sewing them shut. Ilene Jackson is his secretary. One of the speakers was a noted dietician, Geraldine Higgins. She is noted for her well known diet, How to Reduce by Eating More . While at the meeting I learned many more interesting things. I was informed that Lyle Kiser was now accused of bigamy . His only excuse was that two girls were in love with him and of course he didn ' t want to be a cold hearted heart-breaker , so he married them both. Char- line McKinley, now a famous Reno lawyer, is defending him. This Is the seventh case she has handled for him. I also learned that Betty Goudy and Ruth CoUett, who Pay e iuen y-four

He said that he had been in Angola several times. He informed me that Lana Zimmer- man was now proprietress of Christy ' s and that it had been enlarged so that it covered a whole block. He also told me that Thelma Wisner was now superintendent of dear old A. H. S. and that Margaret Carr was a well known beauty operator since she dis- covered a new shade of red for dying hair. Vernon Waite and Warren Sellers are successful farmers. They are raising chickens with purple feathers for ladies ' hats. I arrived home late. July 24, 1959. Dear Diary: Didn ' t go down to the office this morning. I noticed in the paper that William Meyers was John L. Lewis ' s successor and well known for his famous orations. Georgia Welch ' s picture was on the front page; she was picked as Miss America . She was the last member of the class about whom I heard. They all seem to be doing well. I decided the class of ' 3 8 wasn ' t such a bunch of dummies after all. Went to bed early. JAYNE L.
