Friday, June 7: we have new started the long journey home. Tuesday, June ll: we stopped off at Catalina today for refueling.

She told us she was head of a large yeast fac- t0I'ye Wednesday, June 12: Arrived in San Francisco. Visited the Paramount Studios. Found Madame Gladys Pulliam at work in her latest picture, One Love Have I. We arrived at a most inopportune moment-- The Great John, her husband in real life, had stepped on her train. We barely had time to dodge a chair, which she heaved in his direction. Her costumer was trying to constrain her, so we decided to retreat in haste. Thursday, June 13: Noticed an article in the paper advertising a fight between the great lady fighters, Griswold and Barry. Thinking this would be interesting, we went to the arena. Lo and behold! They IBIS our classmates, Elaine and Mary: They showed great form and their mus- cular co-ordination was perfect. Cnc of our most unexpected happenings was to find that Kate Prain was in the ring also, not as a fighter, but as their manager and trainer. we learned later that she had given up her nursing career for something more exciting. we met them afterwards and had a short chat. Monday, June 17: On our way to Sacremento, we stopped at a small town for a coke and drove up to a drive-in. The proprietor was Miss Dorothy Beilke. To our surprise, she had turned out to be an old maid, fwho ever would have expected that?J She said she had come out to the West to get away from it all, but had started a nice business and was content working day and night. Friday, June 21: Bill and Miles left today to go back to their jobs of ditch diggers. CIt looks like Miss Dodds' prediction was right.l Monday, June 24: Home at last. Had a very enjoyable vacation, but can't afford many more at the same price. Back to work scrubbing floors. Ho hum! ANN HoLRoYn :ss
