Allene Miller and I, Betty Cope, were sitting in our hotel room in the Hawaiian Islands resting from our long journey. As we sat there we talked of the many friends and beautiful sights we saw as we traveled through the United States. When we came through New York the first thing we saw that looked interesting was a large dress shop. We went inside and whom should be the manager, none other than our former schoolmate, Bobbie Faye Clark. She told us that one of her models was another of our friends, Martha Sheppard. She also told us that two more of our friends, Daphene Herndon and Geraldine Wilson, were tak- ing part in the opera singing in New York. Also we were told that Brooks Duncan had become very famous in his piano playing. When we were in Maryland we met Willie Jackson, who was a professor at the University of Maryland, and Jackie Thorn, who was their basketball coach. Jackie told us Dwain McClard was coach at Murray State College. The next morning we took a plane to Texas. Before our take off we met the pilot, who was Asher Jones, and the stewardess, his wife, Fannie Scott. We were glad to meet them because they were also our classmatesg however, we didn't think it was safe with Asher as pilot. Fannie told us Marvin Scott and his wife were owners of the largest farm in Kentucky. After we were in Texas, we saw a sign which said, Come visit the largest oil well in the world . When we met the owner, we were very much surprised to find it was Harold Speedy Jones, another classmate. Speedy told us Jerry Edwards was manager of a large circus and Joe Pat Thvggatt had become the champion hot rod driver of the wor .

One night while we were watching television, the face of another familiar classmate, Ronald Pace, appeared be- fore our eyes as the world's greatest news reporter. We decided, after seeing Ronald on T. V., to visit him. He told us Henry Towery was president of a large club which exist- ed in Florida, and that Larry Dumas was planning to be a movie star. We also met Ruth Bagwell, who had become a Home Economics teacher at the University of Kentucky, and was also on vacation. She told us that Darrell Mitchell was owner of a large orange grove near Miami, Florida. It was then time for our ship to leave for Hawaii. When we boarded the ship, we found the Captain none other than our former friend, Gene Ernstberger. While on the ship we met Kelsie Hooks, who was also on his way to Hawaii, on business. He told us he was the owner and manager of a large cattle ranch in Texas. After we reached shore we went to a hotel which was owned by Gerald Smith, also our former classmate. That night we went to a party where we met Sue Mathis. She told us she was a nurse at the big hospital. Sue had the next day off so she took us to spend the day with Peggy Wilson, her husband and two children. Peggy was a very happy housewife. The next day we started out looking for a job. We happened to have very good luck. The first day we got a job in the largest office on the Hawaiian Islands. Betty Cope Allene Miller
