While browsing around in the Library their attention was drawn to a large book and they read, The Graduates of U. S. A. in 1953. They turned to the contents and saw M. S. on page 3,822. Mr. Lehman was very interested, since he taught that year, but had to stop before the year was over. They turned to the page and saw the graduates' names and their addresses. They got paper and pencil, and copied the names. They decided to start visiting the next day. They went to their cabin and made an outline for their trip. They decided to start in Pennsylvania, since Mr. Lehman liked it so well there! When morning came they packed and started on their tour. They arrived in Souderton at 12:00. They were hungry, so they decided to look for a place to eat. No sooner had they decided than they saw an attractive place with a sign out saying, Mim and Evie's Hoagie Shop. Mr. Lehman stopped the car and went in. When he got in he recognized tne owners to be Miriam Detweiler and Evelyn Musselman. Mim, recog- nizing him, asked him in a very business-like manner if she could help him. He told them he wanted two hoagies. While Mim and Evie made them they were talking with Mr. Lehman, recalling their school days. When the hoagies were finished the girls decided to give them to Mr. Lehman for half price. After they had finished eating, they started out again, but had only gone a mile before Mr. Lehman discovered that his car wasn't working right. They soon came to a garage. Mr. Lehman went in and asked for someone to repair his car. Soon James Lapp came, a very eflicient mechanic. jim, by this time, was taller than Mr. Lehman. Mr. Lehman found out that Jim was a very good mechanic. Jim asked him if he had been to the Christopher Dock School. Mr. Lehman said he was going there next. When they arrived they went in the entrance and saw no one. They looked in a room and saw Wayne Clemens teaching a class of Plane Geometry students. They knocked on the door and Professor Clemens came and smilingly invited them in. After awhile Mr. Lehman and his wife looked around. They found the dietitian in the cafeteria to be Ruth Moyer. Ruth was busily engaged preparing food, but took a few minutes off to speak with them. They returned upstairs and found a door that said, Nurse, Wondering who the nurse was, they knocked on the door and heard a voice say, Come in. Stepping in, Mr. Lehman recognized the nurse to be Lois Wismer, who was bandaging one or the pupil's hands. After she was flnished she sat down and talked with them. Soon it was time for school to leave out, so they went on their way. After school left out they came to a beautiful farm. They looked on the mail box and saw it was owned by Paul Cassel. Mr. Lehman drove in to look around. When he went in Paul soon came along and showed him around. He told him that he was raising chickens and had thirty head of milking cows. Paul gave Mr. Lehman a dozen of eggs to show him how good they were. Mr. Lehman asked him if he could buy some land to build a house. Paul thought awhile, then said he could. From there they went to Mark Garis, the architect, to get a blue print for the house. His secretary was Pauline Halteman. They talked awhile with her, and found out that she was married and was keeping house. Then they asked Mark to recommend a good carpenter. He suggested Wilbur Hendricks and Monroe Hunsberger, who were in partnership. So they went to Perkasie, talked with them, and asked them when they could build his house. They called in their secretary and told her to check the books. The secretary was Marilyn Landis. She told them that they could start building the house in a month. 24
