N .15,195. Mr. Harold B. Walker, OV 5 Superintendent of Schools, Riverside, California. Dear Mr. Walker: I hope I am finding everyone fine and happy. I saw our bo la in in the U. S. C.-Stanford football game last week. The way ffe carrisdspthsat ball, he looks like an All-American for sure. I know you must be proud of him. Please excuse any mistakes in grammar or spelling as I have not been to school since I left Chemawa. And I have forgotten what little I learned there. As I had to wait here in the lobby for Mrs. Paul Philbrick, the former Rachael Rathgeber, I thought I would write and tell you about some of the school kids. I was just coming down from the fifth floor, where I now live, when I recognized the elevator boy as George Randall. Well, the other day, Rachael and I went to the Metropolitan Opera House, where we saw the opening performance of Martha We heard the beautiful voices of Ruth Thomas and Bill Miller. After the opera we went to the Robinson Cafe, where we had a cup of tea. This cafe is owned and run by Morris Robinson. As you have probably seen in the papers, Morris is engaged to marry the beautiful Barbara Ashbrook, the Hollywood designer. After we were through, Rachael suggested that we go and see Irene Car- penter at the old Maids Home, of which she is the owner. We had a very nice talk with her. She told us about some of the girls and boys that I had not even heard of since our good old days at Chemawa. She said that Evelyn Basinger, Lila Whitney, and Mariam Babcock are still living in Arlington, and are happy old maids. Sorry to say, she told us that that Mary Francis Humphries died of a heart attack while in her old Maids Home. Then after taking Rachael home, I had to hurry to the Hollywood Plaza, where my sister-in-law, the former Mabel Wagoner, lives with her husband. You see, as we married twins, she is my sister-in-law. It was after six when I arrived there, and as I had made reservations at the Cocoanut Grove for the four of us, we had to hurry. But as you know, when you are in a hurry everything. goes wrong, just as it did with us. VVhen we at last arrived, and were drinking our tea, whom should walk in, but Elizabeth Porter, Ray Westhafer, Lillian Scaffi, and Wilbur Nevin. Elizabeth and Lillian were dressed in formals and looked very nice, but I nearly died laughing to see Ray and Wilbur come in dressed in tuxedos, and Ray kept pulling at his collar, as if it were too tight. The first entertainment was a tap dance, by Jack and Jill, better known to you as Wilda Van Pelt, and Betty Jo Pope. As they were tap dancing a party came and seated themselves at the table next to us. It turned out to be Mrs. Ernest Lopp-the Mrs. being Bertha Carlson, also Henry Crowe and Jeanne Ardrey. The next was a fan dance by Mae Karnes. Al- though she has fought over her fans, she still hangs on to them. After her dance, we danced for a while to the music of Junior Ashford's Tinkle Toy Orcestraf' Page Twenty-Three

History of Graduating Class f 1932 month of September we entered Chemawa as seventh In the year o , , ' - - - grade Peagreens.

At first we did not know where to go or what to do, but in a few weeks we were accustomed to the routine of Chemawa. Then we received our reports and we were ashamed of the fact that we were not d ' ell as we could. . olgidii. vvflhe second quarter passed and along came the election. We were stumped as to what we should do but soon the excitement was over and the end of the year had come, with everyone passing. In three short months we came back to school and found, with great satis- faction, that now another group had acquired the hated name of 'Teagreensf' By the time the elation of this fact died down, the half-year came and we had a chance to support some of our classmates for election. We also found we had a number of boys who made the school teams. At last the end of the year came and we had visions of becoming the highest grade in school. Before we knew it the seventeenth of September came and we found we had very faint recollections of our past studies. After a week or so of hard work on the part ofthe teachers, we soon regained most of what we had forgotten, and settled down to serious study on our ninth grade work. A new system of guidance was introduced, whereby the regular sections were not followed. A better acquaintance among students of different sections was made possible because of this change. The excitement of being ninth graders lasted' for quite a while, but when we were faced with our marks for the first quarter, our superior feeling was given a jolt. Then there were the football and basketball games coming up with some plays and programs presented at night, to keep up the school spirit and interest. At last the half arrived and our first period classes were changed, which caused sornle trouble at first but this soon.qu1eted down. Changes were also made in 5.1111 ance classes the old method being re-instated. New sponsors were assigned e various groups. The thlfd quarter ended with nothing of great importance happening Finally the last quarter came with the excitement of getting out the annual and l3?j,Pi1nI3h1?tS 0fhP0emS and C0II1Positions.

Just as the clock was striking twelve, whom should come walking in, but Maxine and Margaret Sheehan, Marguerite Diem, Mar- garet Rolle, George Vial, Alfred Thomas, Carl Cline and Bob Rose. We then told Lois goodby and went home. . , The next morning I had a finger-wave appointment at Dorothy Smith s shop, and there I met J aniece Bailey, who married a professor. Also Eleanor Wells, who married Gene Cole, and Donna Joy Woodring, who married James Bush- man. I then decided to take Mabel, you know my sister-in-law, to Mikazu Ka- minka's Japanese Museum. It is very interesting to go through. We saw there, Junior Jones, Frances Hama, Florence Goforth, and Herbert Frary. Junior has become a famous dancer. After we had seen everything, we wanted to do some shopping. I remembered hearing someone say that Evelyn Neely and Alice Mortensen had a smart dress shop, so that's where we went after hunting about for an hour. I was surprised to see so many of the old Chemawa girls there, such as, Faye Schwartz, Evelyn Sinsley, Opal Welker, Thelma Forbes, Virginia Mae Bell and Pauline Santo. Vera Barnes has at last married Don Clay, and they seem to be very happy. They are thinking of adopting a baby. Don wants a boy, and Vera wants a girl, so I don't know what it will be. Vera and Mrs. Dick Marmon or Leona Evans, as we all knew her in Chemawa, were sitting with the Marmon twins, when 'we' walked into the Beavers restaurant, owned by Lamoine Beavers. They invited us to sit with them. After we had finished eating our lunch, the twins wanted to go to the show, so we went. We saw Advice to the Lovelorn, starring Hilda Everett and Allen.Bobo. It was very good.
