surely was grand. I only wished I could have seen her. Well, here I am in Pittsburgh. November Q I went to a Club that was to represent some Charity Associ- ation. I surely was surprised to see George Morrison. And more so, to know that he was a photographer for Life Magazine. I didn't have much of an opportunity to talk to him, but I did get to say nHe1loN and I heard some people say that he was really good. November Q On my way back to Donovan today I discovered that Mildred Cline was in Fort Wayne, Indiana, running a small hat shop CI often wondered where those things came from.l But I d1dn't get to see her because she was on her vacation. November Q Before returning to Donovan, I decided to go to Golcadon- gak, Illinois. I spent the night there and for entertain- ment I went to hear a famous orchestra by the name of nAny Ole Prairie Will Don. I was very surprised to see that Joe Lamie was the leader and a girl by the name of Umuffien the pianist. ' November lg On returning to Donovan I found out that one of the '45 grads was running the Echo. Much to my bewilderment, it was Tootie Johnson. She had always helped her sister ped- dle papers, so she decided to print one. One of the an- nouncements in it was that Doris Winroth and Byron Nouriq were recently married and would live on a farm northeast oftmn. November ll Today I discovered that Wanda Wade had returned to Watseka so I decided to visit her. We talked and she said she had a fine position of teaching Commercial subjects 1nlNatseka High. She has taken her position with outstanding rec- ommendation. ' The class of '45 is doing very well for itself, isn't it?

October gi Departing for another city 1 headed toward New York City, New York. First, I went to one of the night clubs. I was seated at one of the tables waiting for someone I knew when I suddenly saw Betty Houghton. She was dressed in a very demure black gown. She came over to my table and af- ter some time I was introduced to someone by the name of Mr. Webster. Betty told me that I should come and visit their Park Avenue apartment. October QQ I was on the verge of walking to the station to catcha bus when a taxi came along. I hailed lt and stepped back in surprise to see the driver-to-be, Charles Clawsonl I asked hin to take me to some place where I could have a good time. He said the only place he had a good time was when he was there and when he made the stop lights, running his taxi through the streets of New York City. He said that it would be nice not to be alone on his trips he made. Yes, l would say we had quite an evening, racing with stop lights. October QQ This morning as I was on my way up town I was hailed from a doorway, and who should come out but Ella Stuckey. She told me that she was in the city to make an exhibition of her uLast hose of Summern. 1 didn't quite get what she meant, but she explained that she was a professional florlst. Ella walked with me uptown and I bid her good luck on her nLast hose of Summcr.n October QQ I had been wondering why it took so long to get to Pitts- burgh.

Betty will take the lead with the silver tones of the p1ano.n Betty
