It was Ralph Weaver, prominent movie director of the late '40's. Ralph told me to meet him at the airport the next morning and we would take a trip and look up our old classmates. Early the next morning we landed in Chicago and the manager rushed out to meet us. To our surprise it was Earl Miller, now mana- ger of Chicago's United Airways. Earl invited us home with him for dinner. He started to introduce us to his wife, but there was no need to because we recognized her as the former Janette Hill of our '40 class. After dinner Earl and Janette took us to the DeLuxe tennis court where world famous tennis players were playing that day. To our surprise upon arriving our two classmates, Jean Meilike and Walter Shaw, were playing the doubles against the world champion tennis team. After the game, Jean and Walter, very close friends, took us to a large building downtown. There we met Alice Miller, now Brown, and Walter doing the play, Romeo and Juliet. Alice and Walter were glad to see us. Alice said she knew of three more of our classmates in Colorado, so all of us took off for Colorado the next morning to look for them. We landed in a pasture that night and started to a ranch house about a mile away. Upon reaching there Alice knocked on the door and imagine our surprise when Veronica Harkin opened the door and asked us in. Veronica was maid for Agnes Miller and Ian Slaughter. Ian and Agnes owned a large ranch and were very happy to see us. Ian said more of our classmates were in Denver so we journeyed there and met Everyl Hakes, famous woman lawyer, and her client, Audrey Huss, who was a rich society dame now. Everyl and Audrey joined the group and Ralph took off with us all aboard for Los Angeles, Calif. On the way we heard the famous contralto, Marie Weil. Upon reaching Los Angeles, we looked her up and found her accompanist to be Charles Smith. Marie took us to a huge fruit farm for a visit. The partners were Philip Martens, John Seymour and John Morgan. These boys were bachelors and owned tive such fruit plantations. Philip and the two Johns decided to join us and find our last classmate. Jean said that Irene Sheehey was running a night club in Reno. Just two days later, having abandoned the airplane and taking two cars, we reached Reno. We found the Moonlight Marvel, which is the name of Irene's club. Irene was very glad to see the class and invited us in to see the famous professor and magician, Mr. Cramer, n-.-1q1g1- Q-.q1g1g1g1-1q1-1-1g1. -5131--1-1.11pg1g1g1q-113151-1-1-.--131-1'-g1g perform.
