Glau Paofziaecff Here it is 1959 and I've been teaching music for five years. The fifes and drums have been getting on my nerves so I've finally decided to take a vacation. I've col- lected all the travel folders I could find and decided that South America was the place to be. There was a tour leaving at Key- stone, Florida, so I started off. On my way through Florida, we stopped at a famous alligator farm, run by four of my former classmates john Meek, was the fore- man, Nelson Littlejohn and Cloxen Shiner were the caretakers, while Ernie Bring-em Back Alive Smith rounded up the alligators! After leaving this farm, fortunately, with all my limbs, I journeyed on to Miami, Florida, to the hotel where I spent the night. They were having a fashion show and as I watched the performance I recognized Lila Dodge and Anne Scherpf modeling two of the most beautiful gowns. Anne said they were actually designed by Jon Pierre Lovell of Paris. After the show I got their atten- tion and they told me that Margaret Meyer, now a successful commercial artist, was also staying at the same hotel. We found Maggie and went for a walk. As we wan- dered around to see the sights we were prac- tically blinded by a huge electric sign which read Phyllis' Fancy Fritters. I was won- dering wlio owned the bakery when Lila said Phyllis Neff and her husband, I won- der who the lucky guy was, owns the largest chain of bakeries from Florida to California. I left the girls and boarded my ship for Rio de Janeiro. The first night on board we were entertained in the ball room by that sensational orchestra group known as Knappy's Snappy Crackers. The leader and vocalist, of course, was Johnny Knapp, wearing his usual flashy bow tie and socks. I-Ie also beats out the old rhythm on the drums now and then like he use to in old D.C.S. While looking for the band I saw Ted Bodley playing the electric guitar and who else but Harold Eggy Eggleston toot- ing a mean trumpet-they say he's now running competition with Harry James. Here I sat choking until the waiter came over and gave me a whack on the back. It's a good thing I still have my own teeth or I would have lost them in my soup. I looked up and up to give the waiter a piece of my mind when I discovered it was none other than Rudolf White Spitts Bode. I asked Rudy what ever happened to his chum, Bob E. He gave me a surprised look and told me that Bob was President of the large rubber industry in Brazil. After a pleasant trip my boat finally docked at Rio de Janeiro. I was met by a guide who turned out to be Lee VanSlyke. I-Ie's the latest Don-juan of Souse Amer- ica. He took me to the Good Neighbor Building where Ruth Schmitz was work- ing as head Secretary. She still has that cute giggle she used as Tootsie Bean in the Play. She has a specially hired staff of girls which include two more of my school chums Nummie Lusk and Julia Graby who are doing their bit to promote friendly re- lations between North and South America. You can imagine how surprised I was to see them all at once. One of the girls told me that Faye Cable and Joy Early owned a large book store here in the city-Faye still putters in her favorite f Continued on Page 621 THE 1949
