NATURALLY WE DEGAN TALKING ABOUT OUR OLD SCHOOL DAYS ABOUT THOSE wHO HAD GONE THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER AND GRADUATED IN THE CLASS OF 'h9. BETTY wAS NOW A PRIVATE SECRETARY FOR THE SAID RENEE RALSON, AND, I MIGHT ADD, A VERY EFFICENT ONE.

JUST THEN RENEE RALSON CAME IN, AND WHO WAS SHE? NONE OTHER THAN OUR OWN HELEN CRANOR. SHE SAID SHE HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COULDN'T SPARE THE TIME FOR AN INTERVIEW. I WOULDN'T HAVE RECOGNIZED HER IF I HADN'T BEEN INTRODUCED TO HER, FOR SHE LOOKED SO DIFFERENT FROM THE LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL GIRL OF MY MEMORY. I THANRED BETTY FOR HER TIME AND SAID I WOULD COME BACK ANOTHER DAY AND ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T GET MY INTERVIEW, THE WIND SEEMED LESS CHILLY AS I LEFT, BECAUSE I HAD SEEN OR HEARD FROM ALL OF THE GRADU- ATION CLASS OF 'LI9. --SHIRLEY DAMME
