Several months later, we were reading a news- paper over our breakfast coffee, when we noticed that the Corinne Griffiths, the famous novelist, who wrote “How to Catch Your Man , was coming to Chicago. We knew what a famous person she was and wanted her for a guest star on our show. When we went to her hotel suite to ask her to be our guest star we were astounded to find it was none other than Beverly Monson, another class- mate of “54 from Wausa. Of course, she had gotten her man and was very happily married. During our very interesting interview she told us that during her travels abroad she had talked with another classmate, Rhoda Hult. We learned that she was now professor in a college in Italy. Bev consented to our request to appear on our show so we left her with plans to see her next week. We got tired of sitting around in our stuffy apdrtment every night and decided to go out for an evening’s entertainment. We purchased tickets for Chicago Stadium for we knew they always have an interesting program . As we neared the gate we saw posters advertising the famous “Bloomer Girls Basketball Team . This at once aroused our interest and we hurried inside to our seats. It was a very thrilling first quarter and when we looked at our programs to find out who those very good forwards were, we were amazed to find it was Celia Kumm and Yvonne Erickson, the stars of the show. This made the game much more interesting for us and after a glorious vic- tory we went back stage to talk to our old friends. They were very much surprised to see us. We could not pass up a long talk with our friends so we invited them up to our apartment for a mid- night snack. They informed us while they were on tour in France they saw Lauren Juracek, who was in Paris furthering his studies in art. They also told us that Barbara Anderson was a featured star in the musical show “Oklahoma , which was now on tour in Europe. Before long they had to rush off to catch their plane for New York. On the way to the studios in the morning the taxi in which we were riding blew a head gasket. The taxi driver put in a call to the nearest garage which was “Rod’s From Here To There Service”. As the wrecker pulled up to the taxi there before our eyes was another old classmate, Rodney Begier. The wrecker pulled us to the garage and soon our taxi was fixed and we were once again on our way to the studio. As we stopped for a red light we looked across the street and we saw a policewoman on a horse. We recognized her as another old classmate, none other then Raynee Johnson. We couldn’t stop to chat just then as the light changed colors and we sped on to the studio for our last show of the season. Immediate- ly following the show Jo Ann and I took off for a two weeks vacation to Florida. We were glad we had seen all the classmates and very proud to be alumni of the class of 1954.
