of this very hotel. We talked late into the night. Freda told us that Kermit Jacobs, one of the youngest civil engineers to be sent to Poland by the United States, is assisting in the rebuilding of that country. September 23 Now settled in our stateroom on board the beautiful liner Beatrice , whose captain is none other than Alan Myers, I have ample time to catch up on my diary. Leaving Switierland our next stop was Russia. Visiting the Ivanovitch Hotel that evening we got the surprise of our lives when we saw Robert Corrigan doing the rather strenuous Russian dance. Corky has just flown over from Alaska. He was celebrating the discovery of gold in the section known as Corrigan's Mele Hill. Kay and I marveled at Corky's dancing and 'decided then and there that the Russian girls must have something, because that was one thing he wouldn't do in high school. He had evidently seen the folly of his ways and was making up for lost time. From Russia we fiew to Burma, where We went over the famous Burma Road to China. We recognized the driver of the luxurious bus immediately, even before we saw the name Bliss's Burma Bus Company. As owner Frederick did not have to drive the bus, but every once in a while the desire to get behind were very the wheel came to him, and we fortunate to have him driving our bus. d us to Entering China, Frederick dir the New American School in Shen 'o, where Marjorie Raymond, Dorothy Barr' and Alan Elrick are teaching. Marjorie teaches Ameri- can history and was explaining about the San Francisco Conference and the uncondi- tional surrender of Germany. Dot teaches physical education. Her ambition had come true and she was doing a wonderful job. In my estimation her slim figure was ample re- ward. Alan teaches English. He was having the class memorize that well-known quotation from Shakespeare, Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrowf' We wanted seine real Chinese food so Marjorie, Dot, and Alan with twinkles in their eyes said they would be delighted to take us to supper. They needn't have taken us so literally. They initiated us in the art of using chop sticks and laughed at our ludi- crous attempts. October 1 The boat is now docking at San Francisco and I have a few minutes to spare. All through the vcyage..Al' ' as been more than gracious to us. We .X A ,he Captain's table much to the envy of the other passengers. He had always loved the sea and had been com- missed as captain on the New American White Cross Steamship Line. October 15 We arrived at Chicago this morning and have already found Edmund Shappy, presi- dent of a large packing concern with Wanda Sloane as his most efficient secretary. Wanda was coming home to Vermont for her vacation so we decided to remain longer and wait for her. Now I can catch up on my diary. Amid shouting and the hauling of sup- plies we set foot on land. We simply couldn't go home without visiting Hollywood. We ar- rived there just in time to attend the premier of Gordon Chevalierfs latest picture with the well-known dramatic star Paule Lamarche. Well, success hasn't changed them. It was the same good natured Chevie and sweet Paule. The gray hairs Chevie has acquired worrying over his income tax has not detracted, but rather added to his charm and appearance. He is the most sought after leading man in the film industry. Paule entertained us at her Beverly Hills home and there never was a more gracious hostess. Theresa Trombly is Paule's social secretary and companion, and the good times those girls do have is some- thing to talk about. We stopped off at Kansas and search of George Jamison who has a flourish- ing grain industry. He is sole owner and dis- tributor of the famous dairy feed, Jamison,s Jucy Tidbits for Jittery Jerseys. Finding George, we enjoyed a pleasant chat between trains. went in October 22 We are on the home stretch now, having just left Montreal where we spent the day with Gloria LeBlanc, whose knowledge of French enables her to hold a position as court stenographer, an interesting position which she thoroughly enjoys. We arrived homie three days ago, tired but happy, and were met by Lucille Aldrich, who is spending a week with us at our cottage by the lake, the one place in all the world where one can rest and recuperate. Lucille runs a most successful real estate agency. In fact it was through her that we purchased our cottage. And so, dear Diary, within your covers the hopes, dreams, and fulfilled ambitions of my classmates are recorded. Whenever I feel lonely I shall just open this book and find comfort and consolation in recalling our won- derful trip, and the satisfaction we had of meeting all our old classmates. Page Seventeen
