We entered the house and Phillip introduced me to his wife. She was very short, plump, and seemed quite jolly--a good match for Phillip! It was getting late, and in spite of Phillip5s invitation to stay all night, I told him I had to be on my way. I thanked him for his hospitality and departed. Last on our list was Mary Piane. My notes said that she was going to be a primary teacher. I looked in various telephone directories, but couldn’t find her residence. Then I went to see her mother, who still lived in Buffalo. She told me that Mary was teaching in the primary grades in a city near the Canadian border and Glacier Park. The only way to reach this place was by airplane. It was time for me to depart to interview Mary. Finally, I arrived at the school- house after a very tiresome tripc I knocked on the door and there appeared a pretty, well-dressed lady who seemed worried about something,, Upon entering the room, I saw the trouble. There was a poor, little boy crying in a corner. Mary explained that this boy had carved his initials on his desk and she had punished him. I asked her how many pupils she had and she told me twenty-five. After school, we went into the teacher age 0 I started questioning her about what had happened since she had left Buffalo. While at college, Mary and a young man in her class had fallen in love and married. But, due to the fact that he was a Navy Captain on active duty in the China Seas, I did not have the pleasure of meeting him. Mary was teaching until he could return. Then they would re-establish their home on the Atlantic Coast. The return trip was filled with pleasant memories of my high school friends. 16
