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
