panion and I were walking along when we soon heard queer noises coming out of a very beautiful home. We learned that the former Phyllis Souder and her husband were fighting again. The young lady who told us seemed very nice and we then recognized her as none other than the whiz in short- hand in years gone by, Erline Peters. She asked us to be her guests at the concert hall where Alice Willard was giving a concern on her accordion. That night we stayed at Ruth Houser ' s El Swank Hotel. The next night we decided to attend the opening of the High-Hat Nightclub which was under the management of Verl Snyder. Lewis Blanchard and his Swing- sters were the hit of the evening. Edeena Roleski and her dsncing partner were the stars of the floor show. Later Verl told us that she was none other than Edna Mry Rohlof, our high school classmate. In the morning I awoke with a start to find that I had nearly missed the daily episode of my favorite soap opera Our Gal Monday, with my old classmate Lois Tcmlinson as Monday. Just as I settled down to listen, the door bell rang, and I received a telegram saying that the contest was a fake and I had never won any award, so I prepared to return home. Be- fore I left I phoned Jeanette Freidenberger, who is president of a very ex- clusive finishing school for girls. On the trio home, I met Ina Norrick on her way to Hollywood to help edit a gossip column. As I got off the plane. Coach Dorsey Bellamy and Strong Man John Boyer boarded it. When I reached home, tired and weary. I made a vow never to enter another contest. — Donna Dielman. Page 17

ceiving them, all will be glad, but some will have a faint feeling of regret that our school life is past. Golden friendships have formed in our happy school days; and as we wander apart, we will have the sweet memories of them. Now we shall take our places in the world to help retain the freedom of which we are so proud! Esther I. Spahe. What is To Be? fT IS 1953 end Ihis is an account of my trip throughout the United States as a result of winning the contest for my 25 additional words or less on why I like the new Fluffy Duffy soap chips invented by the two well-known chemists, Florabelle Dixon and Rosemary Ramey. I had packed immediate- ly and called for my taxi The Camp and Call Special. As I reached the plane, the aviator, Billy Albertson was preparing to take off. The plane was one of those modeled by Jim Sudborough. On the plane I noticed the former Dolores Krontz, sitting across the aisle from me. She informed me that the plane is now equipped with a nurse, Ruth Hagerty, and doctor, Dick Carpenter, since Billy has had so many crackups. As we crossed Wisconsin, Dolores pointed out the Campbell Dairy Farm, and told me that Gene was married and has four girls. While we were talking she also told me that Henry Carr is now the new manager of the Ford Automobile Industry. When we passed over Lansing, I learned that Duane Whitman and wife had recently purchased a new home there. Evi- dently Duane developed a way with the women. The Stewardess, Joan Houck, handed me a newspaper. On the front page I noticed an article by Esther Spake, which stated that Amos Snyder was appointed new Secretary of Agriculture. Just then Dolores called my attention to a ranch near Denver, which was owned by Delbert Creager and Max Gaff. We passed over a bridge in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that was being con- structed under the direction of Engineer Leon Ulm and financed by LeRoy Keller, who is the owner of the Ladies Lingerie Corp. of Tulsa. Then we were told to fasten our safety belts for we were going to land. When we started up again, the former Donna Hinshaw and Ilene Scott had joined us. They were going to Hawaii where their husbands are stationed. No sooner had we started than we had to land to search for Charles Lott ' s plane that had been lost somewhere in our vicinity. We soon found where he had crash-landed. Luckily no one was injured. Donna Keefer and Normagene Mullet were passengers, returning from a shopping tour in Paris. We were to be detained here for about three days while our plane carried Charles ' passengers back, so I decided to look Tulsa over. My com- Page 16
