that it was Doris King. She hadn’t changed a bit and v;as still the sane friendly Doris. She told ne that she was lucky to make it to the reunion for she had just returned from China where she is now a missionary. She has been there for about two years and she must be do- ing wonderful work. I started counting up and realized that we were all there for the reunion and what a week-end it turned out to be. V e talked ourselves and everyone else out and recalled so many old times that we really felt old. It was all over too fast though and soon we all were leaving to go home. It was really wonderful, Mary, and I wish you could have been there. Well, I am about all talked out so I will close for now. Write soon.

looked very natural to see the two together and I soon found out that it was none other than Frances Prelec and Gerry Nardi. They really haven’t changed a bit and it seems they even work together. Gerry went to dress designing school and is now designing clothes for Mar- shall Fields right here in Chicago. Frances was always interested in clothes and she is now head buyer of all clothes at Marshall Fields. She also helps Gerry in the designing department. They are both doing well. Soon a very tall fellow appeared and I had no trouble placing him. I knew it could be no one but Joe Lrinquet with all that height. He recognized me at once and we sat down and had a very nice talk. After h.i hschool, Joe went to the University of Illinois and became very interested in basketball. After graduation he got a job coaching basketball at a small school and soon worked himself up until at present he is head bas- ketball coach at the University of Indiana. He told me that he had a winning team and that they were planning to take the conference championship. I know that he makes a swell coach. Later when I went in to eat lunch I noticed a young woman enter the dining room. Frances Lesjak. sud- denly spied me and came over and sat' down. She told me that after school she started working in a doctor's of- fice and went to school nights learning to be a chemist. You know she.was quite good in chemistry at school. She graduated from school with honors and soon got a job as head chemist at the John Hopkins University. It seems she is quite the tops in her profession. As I wandered back to the lobby I noticed a new arrival whom I recognized at once. It was Phyllis Nuckols. As I found out from her later, she is now se- cretary to the Head of the Navy Department in Y ashing- ton and is doing quite well. She told me she wished Miss Reimer was here so .that she could show her that one of her students really could become a good secre- tary. Phyllis did have a little trouble with stenogra- phy but she is certainly doing all right now. As I watched out the window I sow a large station agon drive up in front of the hotel. I noticed the writing on the side of it and it read Renken Stock !fards!'. I knew then it must be no other than Carl Ren- ium It was and as I talked to him I found out that he farms a little but spends most of his time at his stock yards. He must really be some businessman. Soon after this I noticed a tall red haired woman enter the hotel. Without a moments hesitation, I knew
