1951 Hummm It was time for us to migrate South and since we wanted one last fling before leaving the United States for South America in our smooth little monoplane, the Bluebird, Pattie and I decided to look in on our class, the Class of ' 46. We flew first to New York City. While there we decided to pick up our passports. In the government building where we were to get our passports, whom did we see but our classmate, Bfll Carr. He was chief elevator boy for the whole huge building. Bill told us that there was a lot of responsibility connected with this job but also a lot of salary. As we flew up Wall Street, whom did we find but our friends. Junior Johns and Dave Smith. They were busy at work in their offices of the Johns and Smith Corporation. They told us that if we were to go two more floors up we would find Metta Jean Parr. She was employed as a comptometrist and a very successful one. While in New York, we also saw Bob Elliott in his office. He was now Chief Industrial Chemist for the U. S. Steel Corporation. Flapping our wings goodbye to New York we went on to Washing- ton, D. C. Here we visited the President. The President was Loene Kiser — the first woman president of the United States. She had been elected following the National Kiser Movement. Among her private secretaries were Roma Lee Penick and Mary Jean Kohl. Loene told us that she had just appointed a poet laureate for the United States — this was part of her platform — Eleanor Kabel. Thinking that we wanted a little relaxation, we went on to South Carolina, where we heard an all-man orchestra under the direction of Pat Ritter. The orchestra was featuring tonight two special guest ar- tists, the violinist, Yvonne Humphries, and the vocalist, Betty Lou Whit- man. Going on to Georgia, we found Bob Purdy who had built a dentist ' s practice. The sign on his door said: The only thing we hurt is your bill- fold. One of his patients during our visit was Don Nichols, who was now on a lecture tour which was to cover the whole world. Don told us I ' a: c Sixteen

1951 Hummm that he traveled with Frank Jones who went along on the tours to illus- trate Don ' s talks if they got too deep for his audience. Leaving Georgia, we went on to Florida, where whom should we see but Pat Johnson and Midge Jones. They were both happily married and living in the South during the winter months. They told us that Bobbie Hubbard and Jackie Shank were working as stewardesses for an airline which operated from there. Dee Purdy worked for the same airline as a traveler ' s aid. At Miami we took in a dare-devil show, at which we saw Dick Mann and Keith Folck do their now famous act. From Florida we flew clear over to St. Louis, Missouri, where we saw Joan Hobbs busy at work as a nurse in a doctor ' s office. We also found Ellora Dole busy as a filing clerk at the meat packing plant here. Next we went to Colorado, where we saw Nancy Webb, the owner of the famous Webb Kennels here in Colorado. Upon entering Utah, we bumped into Carol Sims who was on one of her many vacation jaunts. She was now headed back home — to Okla- homa. As we were on our way to Los Angeles, we saw Bonnie Powers, who was now living in California. She had just married a very rich man from that state. Going on to Fiollywood, we saw that second Van Johnson, Dick Mondhank. He was really wowing them. The bobbysoxers were milling around him so that we had no chance to talk with him. While in Hollywood, we saw Beverly Randolph dressing the hair of the actress, Mona Zeis. We also saw the All Stars play a basketball game. One of the players was none other than our classmate, Bob Bledsoe. Now it was time for the last leg of our journey — the final flight to South America for the winter months. We were to keep a rendezvous with Miss Reed, who was there for a short Spanish course. Saying good- bye to the States, we winged our happy way southward. CHARLOTTE STRAIT PATTIE FLETTER Pa»f Seventeen
