X t ,-K., X A fr ,f , ... , MM . . from young lovers, newly-Weds, and old loves, Virginia said Lou Ann was too busy to see us so we started for the door. As we opened the door, Virginia told us that Dorothy Benson was operating a beauty shop a little way up the street. We hurriedly left the shop and sped up the street. Yes, here it was DOROTHY'S DUCKY HAIR-DOS. We entered to find her giving a shampoo and an Hupswept curl mass , which was the latest, to Norma Bumann, another member of the class of '45. Norma was still as short as ever. Dorothy said she liked her work especially loved San Francisco. Norma was working at the Fly-Em-High Aircraft Company. Her job was to crawl inside the wings of the airplanes and do the finishing touches. We gave each of the girls a sample of Non-slippery Spaghetti and left. We hopped on a street car to visist Radio Station IOU. We thought probably they would let us advertise our wonderful product over the air. As we came in, the manager, Duane Swan- son, quickly recognized us and rushed to meet us, He told us all about his work and asked us if we wished to see Ardelle Angster, who was an entertainer. We certainly did, and a few minutes later she introduced herself as Auntie Jane, of the Children's Hour. She said that her story for today was My Experiences While Having a Nightmare. It was about time for her program so she had to hurry, but before leaving she told us that Lovyce Elsberry, Arlise Mord, and Arlene Wrick were nurses at the Sure-Cure Hospital, a few blocks down the street. We wanted to see these girls, but we didn't have time as our plane for Seattle, Washington, was due to leave soon. We reached Seattle about ten o'clock in the evening and wentf searching for a hotel. We soon spied one and entered. To our great astonishment, we saw that the clerk at the desk was Maxine Bengtson. She had been working here quite a while and still was her own jolly self. Later we met the proprietor, Ralph Enquist. He told us that Eva Mae Greenwall and Ida Prather were teachers at the University of Washington. Ida was teach- ing English and Eva Mae, mathematics. After a good night's rest, Bev and I started out to take in the sights in Seattle, We saw a large music store and when en- tering spied a sign, Helyn Lindberg-Music Instructor. We asked to see Helyn and found her. busily and happily engaged in her music. Later, as we walked down the street, we realized We had met all the members of our class except one. When we went to get our mail, which was to be forwarded to us here, I received a letter postmarket, Washington, D. C. I quickly ripped it open and found to my joy that it was from, Elaine Moline. She was overjoyed at having received the position of assistant secretary to the Treasury, and was so anxious to tell me of her fortune. Bev and I decided our boss would like to hear of our exper- iences so We chased down to the airport and again took-off for Omaha.-Earldine Ottoson.

6 X X 1? SENICIR CLASS PLAY o 0 0 0 0 0 A LITTLE HONEY On Tuesday evening, May 8, the class of '45 presented the senior class play, A Little Honey , at the Community Auditor- ium. The play, a delightful three act comedy by Wm. Davidson, was staged under the direction of Miss Viola Mogck. The play centered around the romance between Diana Min- ton and Tom Corning. Diana's mother had taught her that men like women to be intelligent rather than attractive, but when Diana put this theory to practice on Tom, who had just return- ed from. two year's overseas service, she found that it did not work very well. Grandma, old in years but young in ideas, saw that the romance was headed for the rocks, and decided to in- tervene. She knew that one must use a little honey to catch a m-an. She showed Diana how to dress the stage and herself for a proposal. After a few interruptions, Grandma's technique suc- ceeded and Diana had anchored Tom to her heart forever. The cast of characters was as follows: Jerry Minton, a teen-ager ............... Elaine Moline Albert Parker, from next door ................ Ralph Enquist Caroline, Scoots, Jerry's younger sister ...... Norma Bumann Diana, Jerry's older sister ............. . . . Beverly Schulte Delores Megglehammer, the cook ...... . . .
