while he was dining the orchestra leader announced the arrival of the beautiful Alice Lower, who had just won the title of Miss Universe of 1957. In the course of the conversation I told Hal about a trip I had taken the summer before. While I was in Chicago to transact some business, I stopped over for a couple of days. During my stay I procured a ticket for Ima June Moughler's radio show, One Woman's Family, sponsored by the Crudential Life Insurance Company. Coming out of the studio, I ran into Phyllis McKean and Hulda Norrick who are doing very well as radio script writers. They told me that Margaret Alwood is one of the more famous Hollywood dress designers. Then, since they observed that I looked rather faint and hungry, they recommended that I eat at The Baron House. It is owned and operated by Irene Baron and is one of the famous res- taurants in downtown Chicago. Irene employs Geraldine Casebere, the renowned dietician, whose diets are exemplified in the Baron cuisine. I might add that I have never eaten a more delicious meal-in a restaurant. Upon boarding the train for Colorado Springs I discovered that my com- partment was next to that of Lee Canpenter. Lee is an executive of the New York Central Railroad. He told me that he was going out west to attend a meeting for the purpose of attempting a merger of the New York Central and Santa Fe Railroads. He said that the night before he had at- tended a basketball game at the Chicago Stadium between the Chicago Ameri- can Gears and the world champion Zollner Pistons. He had been very pleased to see Elvin Lee Griffin starring as guard for the Pistons. Since I wanted to see the sights after I had arrived at Colorado Springs, I boarded one of Jake Keesler's sight-seeing busses. This bus went to Pike's Peak and gave me some very thrilling experiences. Then I proceeded on to Denver. Deciding that I needed some sweets, I stopped into a confectionary shop owned and operated by Mary Love. While I was walking down the street, enjoying the delicious candy I had just bought, and paying no attention to where I was going, I ran squarely into another old classmate of mine, Clarence Chum Harter. Chum told me he was traveling to New York to present to the United Nations Assembly his revolutionary idea for peace, Get Chummy the Harter Way. His idea is now used all over the world. He told me, also, that while he was in New York he was going to pay a visit to Kendall Wilson who was an executive in the Standard Oil Company. For diversion that evening I attended the premiere showing of Now and Forever starring Phyllis Hoover. Since it was the premiere showing of the picture, Phyllis was there in person. Also attending was Herbert Slentz, now famous as a lecturer on Farm Management. Reporting the show was Eileen Culler, the prominent society editor of the Denver Times. After Hal had departed, I sat looking into the fire and realized how much had passed in the short ten years and wondered what the future would bring to my old classmates off '47, -Jim Torrrbow. . -16-1
