who should I see leaving in the next boat to Alaska but Ernest Scott!! He said he hadn ' t found any girls around home, so thought he ' d try Alaska for girls and wealth, in which Alaska is supposed to enveloped. Good old Ernie! Shows his spunk and determination! • Down in Hollywood I was really shocked! I thought I’d get some shots of some movie stars, and who should be the first one I see! You ' ll never guess! Peggy Batchelor, known to her ad¬ miring fans as Peggy Joyce. Golly! She ' s a knockout!(if you know what I mean!) In Texas I saw Helen Griffin and her husband Edsel Briley leaving for South America where Edsel is to be a missionary. They had been visiting some friends in Texas who owned a huge ranch. Who? It ' s--no! it can’t be---but it is! Louise Butler and her husband own a huge ranch next to another ranch just as large owned by James Know. James is still eligible, girls, and how!

How surprised I was to find that, after all his being so romantic in school, he was not married! Are all our boys going to be bachelors? How sad! For my ailment I received a prescription which I forgot about until I got back home. I decided to have it filled so I went to a pharmacist in Raleigh, and who should he be but William Cecil Simmons! And how he ' s grown! He ' s 6 ' 3” now. Oh-h-h-my! He, the curious thing that he is, wanted to know who prescribed it, and in our little talk I found that Lamuel Edgar Barn¬ hill was a doctor in Raleigh. How prominent our class is! Betty Faye Harrell and Margaret Jones are teachers in Raleigh. Betty Faye is married to her Blake boy and now he has a new
