Qcontinued from page 95 talk about, she joined me for lu ch. She said that Jim was head chef until he would leave for spring training with the Cleveland Indians. Upon learning of my intention to spend the night in Tuscon, she informed me of the 'Seedorf's lbdern Hotel, owned and operated by Karl Seedorf. we spent an enjoyable evening dancing in the 'Blue Room, a new addition to the hotel, and recalling school days. I felt happy as I left Tuscon in the early afternoon-- it was a beautiful day, and it had been so good to see some of my friends from Jackson. Austin, Texas, where I was going to spend the night, was reached in no time. The helicopter needed refueling, but little did I dream Fate would play a part. Who should be the proprietor of the combination garage and gas station nearby but Ken Stearns, now a married man. I had to have my hair set that evening so could not accept his kind invitation to dine with him. He told me of a beauty shop in Austin in which I would be interested. It was known as 'Hary's Beauty Parlor,' and was operated by none other than lary Karfit. Mary and I had a long chat, of course, during which I discovered that she was a whiz at hair styling. She was looking forward to the opening of her secondshop the following week. The Mardi Gras in New Orleans was the next scheduled stop. I was having lunch in a French cafe when a dashing 'Don Juan' walked in. Who should it be but Bob Dahms, the prosperous New York bachelor who owned several airplane factories in New York and Detroit. Surprising enough, how- ever, he had never married due to misunderstanding with Pat Thatcher. The Mardi Gras was gay andtshrilling, but Palm Beach was my destination. Nancy was surprised the next evening about dusk when I landed my helicopter near hers. During dinner we had a delightful discussion of old school pals. Just recently Nancy had gone back to Hoytville and while changing trains in Cincinnati had met Esther Patton. Esther, who had become an efficient secretary in the National Bank of Cincinnati, was on her way home to announce her engagement to a promising interior decorator. In Deshler they had met Pete Smith, who was on vacation from his astronomer's position at Greenwich Observatory in England. In answer to my inquiry, Nancy told me that her future plans were to finish the law course and pass the examination for admittance to the bar. The time in Palm Beach passed quickly--it always does when good friends get together. And now, I must solo back to California, but from there on the flight is duo! 10

C. We plan to leave May 25. Now that our high school education is finished each one will go on his own way to meet nLife's School of Experience.n The memories of Jackson High School will always remain near and dear to each heart. 4 4 a 4 5 CLASS PROPHECY --Donna Godlove Early this year--1960--I decided to visit my former classmate, Nancy Leatherman, who resides in Palm Beach, Flor- ida. Since I had just bought a new helicopter and was a licensed pilot, I decided to make the journey from California in it. . u On my way I was listening to the radio and heard afamil- lar voice announce the song that his orchestra was going to play. Imagine that! The voice was that of Richard McCormic! After these many years he had finally achieved great fame as an orchestra leader. It seems he was now called Xavier Cugat, II. Such fame! My appetite was on a rampage by this time so I decided to stop at Tuscon, Arizona, for a bite to eat. Upon landing at the airport, my attention was attracted by a cozy little lunchroom advertising french fries, which I just can't resist T he waitress appeared and who should it be but my old school pal, Marilyn Smith CDrummerJ.
