The Echo Meanwhile Gordon Anderson, a second hand dealer, Mabel Johnson, a waitress at the Liberty Cafe, Clifford Markuson, a poultry dealer, June Peterson, a telephone operater at Arr.ery, and Howard Tulgren, Bass player in the Clear Lake Symphony Orchestra had reached the field house. Only two of my former classmates were unable to attend. Mrs. Me Namara, formerly Violet Clemmens, was expecting a blessed event and was unable to come, and Jeanne Finley was leading a Fascist revolt in Argentina and Peru. During the day most of the time was spent renewing acquaintances, and in the evening a large banquet was served. The next morning I took my plane to return to my duties in New York, where I was in charge of music for the forthcoming musical production, “Wings over Broadway”.

The Echo As I turned, ] noticed two distinguished looking gentlemen standing apart from the rest. Upon closer observation 1 noticed that they were those two inseparable pals, Marshall Paulson and Kenneth Danielson. Later I learned that Kenneth was the candid cameraman for Twent eth-Century Fox studios, and that Marshall was Vice President of the First National Bank in St. Paul. [ust as I was about to speak to Kenneth, someone touched my arm. Looking up 1 saw that it was Charlotte Clark, Mercedes honks, and ivian Swenson. During the course of our conver ation, Charlotte informed me that she was now secretary to John D. Rockefeller, Jr.; Mercedes explained that she was now a certified accountant for Woolworth. nc.; and Vivian advanced the information that she was a commercial teacher at Whitewater. Our attention was drawn to the door through which the reception committee was ushering Doris Berglund, Wilbur Frank, Ethel Palmer, Joyce Peterson and Charlotte Thoma«. After we had renewed our acquaintance, we began discussing our present occupations. Dor:s was now assistant to Adrian at M C. M. ilbur Frank was employed as stand-in for tbe ever-popular Bob Burns, Ethel Palmer was now the famous Carolyn Crawford, featured player at Selznick International. Joyce Peterson was governess for Henry Fonda's daughter and Charlotte 1 homas was teaching Fred Astaire and (linger Rogers new dance step; for their latest picture, “Dancing on Air”. Just then a oueer sound was heard directly above the field house. Rushing to the window, what should we see but a bright red rocket ship. After the ship was anchored, a rope ladder emerged from an opening, and on it was that distinguished scientific figure, Keith Clark. As he approached us, we noticed that he had changed con iderably in appearance since we had last seen him. He now had long flowing hair and on his nose rested a pair of atmospheric goggles. After the excitement of Keith’s arrival sub ided, we noticed a group of distinguished persons coming across the lawn. Included in the group were Martha Baker, Dustan Christensen, Art'mr Daniel, Bernice Xilssen Neil Nilssen. Evelyn Often, Ellen Parel, Henry Patterson, Marjorie Pittman, and Ava Marie Proper. “Dusty” was wearing a United Airlines uniform, and later we learned that he was the pilot of the plane which brought this group from the east. President Roosevelt was now serving his fifth term of office. Martha Baker had replaced Cordell Hull as Secretary of State, and Neil Nils en had taken Henry Morgenthau's place as Secretary of Treasurer.

Henry Patterson was famous as the pitcher for the New York Giants. Marjorie Pittman was the popular Madame Quiz of the Columbia Network. Senora Piedrahita, Ava Marie Proper, was making her debut in “Carmen” at the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York. While I was engaged in conversation with the Senora, several others had entered.
