'Z . Sis Lynne: I don't know but Illl look l1er up. I: tLooks at book also.j Lynne: Parker, Elberta, famous woman sculptor. Her work of her favorite model, Evelyn Preston, was presented to the YVl1ite House in 19-13. l: I thought Evelyn Preston owned a Beauty Shop in Chicago. Lynne: No, she sold that to Marguerite Saunders and Alta Peterson when she moved to Ivashington, D. C. I: tL0okin0' throufrh IVhols Whowj-Oh Lvnnc here 's someone we haven 't written to. Lynne: Who is that? I: Arthur Nelson, publisher of the African Gazette. Lynne: XVhy not write and tell Arthur to put an announcement of the re- union in his paper? I: Thatls a very good idea. I'll just write him a little note and give it to Isadore Shaphren who has charge of the aerial mail service. Then it will get there in a few hours. Lynne: Be sure to tell Isadore about the reunion. Also tell his pilot, Vern Strain. It may be that they will be able to come. I: Yes, and we will tell him to spread the news to the people on his route. I remember he told me he had once seen a prize iight between Harold Swihardt and Maurice Hall. Perhaps he can see them again. Lynne: Speaking of fighters, reminds me of Chester Allison and his present position of bull fighting in Mexico. I: Chester Allison a toreador? He wouldn't have to resort to torture or red flags to anger his enemy. He could simply take off his cap. Lynne: IVe'll have to inquire about his methods, wonlt we? East High is also represented in another national sport. I suppose you have already guessed that I am talking about John Brooks, the manager of the International Base- ball Club? I: Yes, I heard the 1'6pO1'lQ of his recent game over the radio. That same evening I heard Harlan Stuart give a solo. You know he is director of the United States Rural Band. Carl Bogenrietf has been helping him organize. Lynne: That is the band that is to play for the dedication services of the great engineering feat of moving Grand Avenue two blocks north to make it t'Pleasant. You know Luverne YVitherell was the engineer who directed this work so skillfully. I: That certainly was a noble piece of work and 1,111 sure Luverne will give all due credit to his able assistants, Esther Anderson and Bernhardt Hammond. Lynne: I think we should give his stenographer, Ruth Frank, a certain amount of honor also. Goodness knows she worked hard enough. I: Yes, Ruth has worked hard. Most stenographers do have enough to do to at least keep them busy. I was talking to Helen Ames and Marjorie Brown the other day and they both said they were rushed to death. Lynne: IYhere do Helen and Marjorie work? I: They are both working in the credit department of Carlyle Knutsonis meat market. Lynne: I thought Mary Feruglio had charge of that department. I: Some time ago she did. Now she is head matron at the Fair Ground Neighborhood House. Lona Smith is the doctor and Myrtle Gustafson is the nurse in charge of the baby department of the same house. Lynne: Isn't Mildred Scott teaching some place in the city? I: Yes, she is teaching in the Open Air School for the Deaf. Lynne: YVe seem to have a number of people connected with schools. You 25 b D 7 . 7

e W . gf-gs the Republican 's leader, and Clifford Grey, their very promising candidate for president. I: That will also bring Marie McCarthey, Iowa 's delegate, and Madge Rees. Lynne: XVhy will Madge be here? I: The G. O. P. couldn't get along without the President of the National League of XVomen Voters. Lynne: That 's so. The women must be represented. I wonder what Arthur Mitchell's address is. I: I will get the book l borrowed and see. fGo over to the table to get book., Oh, Lynne, fpicking up two booksj, have you read Dorothy Oooke's latest novel? QHand book to Lynne.j Lynne: Did you like it? I: Yes, I did. It may be my imagination, but it seems to have some bear- ing on our class and East High. ' Lynne: May I read it? I: Certainly. Then tell me if you notice this also. Now we'll look for friend 1hI'tl1lI1',S address. IIcrc it is. Mitchell, Arthur, Ambassador to Eng- land, 1943 and '44, Address, 632 Battleboro Avenue, New York. And,-Oh, we 'll send it to his New York home. Lynne: Just a minute-fTakes bookj-His secretary is also given. Yes, secretary, Ruth Statler. I: I wonder if Ruth has grown any. She was in my Business English class and I always noticed how tiny she was. Lynne: Speaking of small people, we approach a subject that is character- istic of a member of our class we have not mentioned. I: I'll guess, Therese Carpenter. Am I right? Lynne: Yes, she and Frances Youngquist are both women of leisure, travel- ing through all the foreign countries, studying nature, preparatory to establish- ing a studio of designing. I had a letter from Therese the other day. She said she had met Jennie Neighbour and Fay Odell somewhere in Africa. They are in charge of the Red Cross work. Edna Cooley and Bernice Deeds are with the same group. . I: VVasn't it at the place of tl1e Red Cross Headquarters that Mildred Tay- lor and Eleanor Running built that large hotel? Lynne: Yes, Therese said she had been there. It is becoming more popular all the time. Therese said that Joe Bernstein, Floyd VVendelin and George Libles played for dances in the hotel every night. Fern Fies and Besy Ruben- stein have a dancing academy in this same hotel. I: IVhat about the schools in this city in which these people are? Any of our class teaching there? ' 'Lynne, Oh, yes, Marie Schofield, Marjorie Searle, and Alforetta Smith have established a very beneficial correspondence school. I just heard a few days ago that Frank Anderson had been asked to join the teaching staff of their school. I: What is Frank going to teach the natives? Lynne: The requests for a department of auto mechanics have been so numerous that they have found it almost necessary to provide for this appar- ent need and Frank has been selected. I: I shouldn't think Frank could take care of the entire department himself. Lynne: No, he has the privilege of choosing two assistants. He has worked with Joseph Comito and Morris Siegel in some eastern college, so I suppose he will take them with him to his new location. ' I: Lynne, whatever become of Elberta Parker? ' 24
