THE SUMMIT, 1936 When we stopped at the next airport who should come barging in but Mary Ruppert and Iune Hirte. 'We were most surprised to see Frank Ebert following them. After our hilarious greetings Mary told us that she had finally realized her life-long ambition, she had married a tall blond man. Then Frank told us about his latest expedition to Alaska. lune was very enthusiastic about the murder case she had been sent to cover. After we had discussed expedi- tions, murders, etc., our conversations assumed a lighter tone. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Mary and her husband had seen Bernadine Lynch do her famous toe dance. When we arrived at the lodge we were greeted by Leora Wolff, a re- nowned orator, and Ellouise Farrell, a champion debater. We were all agree- ably impressed by the interior decorating of the lodge by Elvira Knipping. Albert told us he had seen Edwin Siedler, who is manager of the Rocky Theatre in Roxiefeller Center in New York. There he had seen a mural paint- ing by Dorothy Decker in which she pictured Myron Hamilton and Burnell Ad- ams, the leading politicians of the day. Ellouise came hurrying over to us and showed us Herby Meyer's comic section in which the featured caricature of the week was of his wife, the former Marie Paulus. We were then hailed by Phillis Smith, a rising social worker who is following in the footsteps of Iane Addams. Here comes Ruth Zangf' interrupted Leora. She is now tutoring Iohn lacob Astor Vl. Gang, it is our pleasure to congratulate Virginia Saak and Iune Kirk who have just won trophies in skiing and skating at the Olympics! We were told that Edith Welton owns a delicatessen in Seattle, Washing- ton, and that Elza Dudenbostel is her most efficient bookkeeper. When Rosalie Fiene Vieregge, wife of the director of Elmer's Kitchen Cabi- net Band, and Edna Harmsen, a radio comedienne said to be the second Gracie Allen, arrived, they had astounding news to tell. Byron Boyington had invented a high explosive Z-Sl with which he had almost blown his newly married wife, Marjorie Beare, to bits. Ruth Meyer, prima donna of grand opera, sang a selection Fluerette. Leora told us that Berwyn Brooke is now the main topic of all Fern Colvis' conversation. Gladys Douglas is a waitress at Hotel Statler in St. Louis, and Louris McDonald has made a wreck of Alice McConkey who practiced Louris' dietetic principles. Max Bradley has just finished engineering the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at Chester, so that Dorothy Wittenlorink won't have to wait until another winter like '36 to find a cheap way to Perryville. Eileen ended our reunion by playing one of her own piano compositions, Whispers at Twilight. lust as we were finishing our fond good-byes, we heard Berwyn Brooke's orchestra playing an ode to our past school days, fol- lowed by a finale in memory of Chester High School.
