Upon much inquiry, nurses Dixon and Lawson informed Doyle of Elmer Arldt's great success as a stock farmer near The Grove. Meanwhile back at Elmer's ranch, he receives word of Doyle's little mishap. Sending his regards, Elmer regrets that he is unable to visit Doyle today, due to his participation in a State Stock Show in The Grove. Phoning Karl Calhoun at his elaborate Mobile gas Station, the nurses explained that his wife fthe former Miss Clovis Botkinj should be notified of the accident of her classmate. Leaving her three small boys with a next door neighbor, she calls her chauffeur to drive her down in her black and white Cadillac. Upon arriving at the hospital, Mrs. Calhoun bumps into Jean who directs her to Doyle's room.

Soon the class meeting adjourned and all were assured of another reassembly.
