Pepafe LI' j0l'l'l0l'I 0l.U From there they went to Hatfield, to Bergey's Elecric, to buy some electrical appliances. When they went to pay the secretary, there was a handsome young man standing there talking to the secretary who was janet Bergey. When janet saw Mr. Lehman she introduced him to the man, who was her husband. Mr. Lehman paid his bill and went on his way. . Driving along, they came to a large factory. Recognizing the name of the hosiery, they decided to go in. They saw an information desk and inquired who worked there. The woman at the desk said she would show them around. Soon Mr. Lehman noticed two seamers whom he recognized as Arlene Landis and Lorraine Leatherman, so he stopped to talk with them. After awhile they started on again. Suddenly Mr. Lehman spied a nice looking young lady at the other end of the room. Thinking she looked familiar, he went over to see her better. Sure enough, it was Gladys Detweiler. Talking with her, he found out that she was married. They thanked the guide and went to their car. After they left they spied a nice looking grocery store. They went in to see what they could buy to eat. After looking around for awhile, a clerk came and asked if she could help them. Mr. Lehman recognized her as Shirley Swartley. She got the things they wanted and then they went to pay the cashier, who they recognized as Kathryn Hunsberger. He was wondering if she could add correctly and give the right change. He found out she was doing real well. They went on to hunt the remaining students. Soon Mr. Lehman saw a little fellow fall with his bike. He quickly stopped the car and picked up the little fellow. He saw that he was bleeding, so he took him to Grand View Hospital. As he walked in the door he saw an attractive nurse come toward him. Sure enough, it was Miriam Godshall. She cleaned up the little fellow, and they talked about the past. Then Mr. Lehman took the boy home. They went to their car and started to go to the Harleysville Ins iranze ofhcc. When they got there they saw Faye Ruth. She showed them around, since it was quitting time. They appreciated it and left her to go home. They were driving along when they came to a nice house. A sign was out that said Dressmaking. Even though Mr. Lehman wasn't interested, his wife was, so they went in. A young woman came to the door with a measuring tape around her neck. Mr. Lehman recognized her immediately as Mary Clemens. They talked with her for awhile. Mrs. Lehman promised her she would come back to her to get her dresses made after they moved. From there they went to Philadelphia and stayed in a boarding house over night. In the morning they went and bought a chicken from jean Godshall. She told them that she and her husband went down there to market every week for three days. Soon they came to a large building, Musselman, Incorp. They went in and saw a young gentleman sitting at a desk in a white shirt, reading the newspaper. It was john Musselman. After talking with john, he found out that he was a Ford dealer. john showed Mr. Lehman around the building and they came to a room where two secretaries were sitting. They were Joan Musselman and Doris Clemmer. Joan was talking on the telephone, so Mr. Lehman talked with Doris. She told him that joan and she were married. He talked for awhile, thanked john for showing them around, and went. They were riding awhile when they came to Hanover, Pa. They saw a large farm with a lot of horses. They drove in and found Stanley Nice and Paul Halteman to be the owners. They went horseback riding and enjoyed it very much. When Mr. Lehman wanted to start his car it wouldn't start, so they bought a horse and a buggy and went their way. 25

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
