I was interested in find¬ ing out who owned the largest cattle ranch in Texas, so I could visit it. We landed at the airport in Austin, Texas, spent the night there and the next morning inquired about the ranch. We found out the name of the ranch and where is was located. The next morning w-e hired horses to ride and a guide and started out for the ranch. When w T e reached it, we called for the owner. He came to greet ns, and I saw that it was Charles Anthony, one of the members of our senior class of ' 38. He had become one of the most influential men in Texas. I lo ' ved Texas and hated to leave, but I knew that we must continue on. We went from Texas to New Mexico. We found nothing of particular interest there, and after a short visit, con¬ tinued on to Hollywood, California. There I saw my old friend, Gladys Vernon, who graduated at H.R.M.S. with me. She w r as then idolized by people all over America. I had seen her in several pictures and thought that she was very good. We had lunch together and she told me that she had completed a course in dramatics and voice culture before entering the moivies. Who realized when we were school-mates at dear old H.R.M.S. that we would meet again in such a cultured place as Hollywood, California. We left Hollywood after a long visit, and made a non-stop flight to the state of Washington. One day while we were there, we started out sight seeing and saw a large crowd of women, old and young, gathering before a public building. I was anxious to find out what was so interesting, so I asked one of the women who was standing near. She said that a famous home demon¬ strator was there and was going to speak and demonstrate. Real¬ izing that I would have a house to keep after my honeymoon, I decided to go in and listen. When the speaker arose, I recog¬ nized her as Ruth Trent. After the demonstration, she told me that immediately after graduating at H.R.M.S. she took up Home Economics at Madison College, and after the completion of her course there, had obtained this job in Washington. We soon left Washington, and went to Chicago, Illinois. I found out while we were there that the Federal Court was in session. I had always enjoyed going to court after my first visit, made during my senior year at H. R. M. S., and when one of the most important cases came up, I decided to go. I was very astonished when I saw that one of the lawyers was John Brown, a member of the ’38 senior class at H.R.M.S. He told me that tipi wyi W w x w X : ’ vt V V V Y t f 7 V7 7 V 7 V y v 7 v y
