1 1946 ANNUAL 1 Dolores Totten and Betty Weaver had opened a beauty shop which was the biggest success in all Hollywood. Dolores did all the work and Betty stood outside and advertised by combing her lovely hair, powdering her nose, and filing her nails. Relda Grunder was a debate coach at Harvard University and a veterinarian on the side. A little absentfminded, one day she injected a student with antifhydrophobia serum and tried to teach a dog the art of speaking. Results were: man bites dog-dog wins debate-one nervous breakdown. Ilene Graber was my next stop. At this time she was very happy to see me as she was in the hospital. While on tour, she got caught in her accordian and was badly mangled. She was coming along Hne but said she was going to learn to play a harmonica. Vivian Steele was visiting her parents in Creston at this time so I was fortunate in being able to see her. She was still very pretty but rather tired looking too. She was an army wife and since she wanted to be with her husband, she was continually moving. Her husband's rank was that of a colonel and what with six little privates she was very busy. Irene Huffman was very quiet about her life. She owned a beautiful home, a plane, clothes, and stock in many large business concerns. It was rumored that she was married to a movie star by the name of Van Johnson. She flatly denies this but I have my doubts. I was very disappointed in not being able to visit with four of my old friends. I heard about them though. Thus the story goes: Alice Slater had started to Vienna to study music but somehow got side tracked in Switzerland. She was told that not only would she make a good guide for mountain climbers, because of her yodeling ability, but also, she was not a bit hard to follow. It was said that she has not lost a single tourist. Two others I did not see were Bernice and Beatrice. The team of Dawson and Dawson was finally broken up, but not without many tears. Bernice longed for a simple life. She was a traveling companion for a rich dowager, who not only had plenty of money but also a handsome son, to whom Bernice was secretly engaged. Beatrice, longing for an exciting life, was hunting wild game in Africa. She had been made a member of tribe of Amazons which she discovered on one of her treks into the jungle. The life of the last one of my classmates grieved me very much. This was Jean Copley. Her love life had been so disappointing that she had shut herself off in seclusion from the rest of the world and was publishing books on the idea of a world without men. Greatly refreshed by my travels, I started my return to Reno to get the Hnal decree on my divorce. On my arrival there, I received a telegram from my husband, asking that I return. just to give this story a happy ending . . . I did. -Ieannette Rook fPage Eighteenil
