That afternoon I spent sight-seeing. I went through every store on Main Street. You know women! I visited the 5 and 10 store, and can you guess who I saw there? Edward Conn. He was a floor walker. While I was talking to him I learned that Charlie Bolly had opened a filling sta- tion a few blocks off Main Street. From the 5 and 10 cent store I went to an Art Studio. I was looking at a very beautiful drawing when the painter's name caught my eye. You can't imagine who it was so I'll tell you. It was Edward Harrell. You remember he used to draw very well when he was in High School. That evening I hired a car and continued on my journey home. I rode until I was tired, then I told my driver to stop at the next town which was Plant City. Here I spent the rest of the night. When I registered at the Plant City Hotel, I discovered on record the names of Bill Burke and Marie Dolan who were there on their honeymoon. The next morning when I went down to my breakfast I saw them. We talked for a long time. Dur- ing the course of our conversation Marie mentioned that Jacob Graves and Dorothy Hobson had been married and were living a few miles outside of Jeffersonville. She also said that Jesse Denzler had gone to College to study to be a doctor. That afternoon I decided to do a little shopping before moving on homeward. The thing I needed most was a pair of slippers. Before I went into the store I looked for the name and you can't imagine whose it was! Mire Bizer's! Yes sir-ee. I went in and bought a pair, after talk- ing with Mire who said he had to move to Florida on account of bad health. From the shoe store I went to a Florist's Shop where I bought orange blossoms to send to my parents. As I went in the door, I came face to face with Mary Herman. She said that she and Lorena Dierking owned the shop. In the evening while I was preparing for bed I turned on the radio and the very first thing I heard was a three-piece orchestra featuring: Richard Eichenberger, Walter Bottorfl' and Charles Harvey with Ruth Strauch singing. Once again the next day I headed homeward and didn't stop until I reached Nashville, Tenn. Here I stopped at Clarence Dorman's Hotel. Here, also, I ran into George Edgington who was now a lawyer. He said he had been receiving letters from Thelma Ford who was a dietitian. He had also been corresponding with Warren Guttermuth, who was working at the American Car and Foundry Company back home. He said he had read, in a hometown paper, where Keith Goodwin had started a poultry farm and was doing very well. After bidding him good-bye, I retired to my room. I was rather the worse for wear and tear of the past few days. It was very cool the next morning, so I called for a maid to lay a fire in the grate for me. When Vivian Robertson entered the room to perform the duty, I greeted her cheerfully but calmly-I was 'way beyond the shocking point. She said it was against house rules to stay and talk to a guest but girls will be girls, so there we were. We talked and talked. She told me that Elizabeth LaFever worked at the Hotel switch board. She also related that Geraldine Leitzman had gone abroad with her wealthy uncle. Oh, what luck! In all too short a time she said good-bye and I was

The next day I had to go to Tarpon Springs on business and while I was there I went to see a stage play called Betty Engaged . There were a few girls and boys in the chorus whom I had known during my high school days. Louise Fry, Libbie Baird, Martha Howard, Mary Elva Jones and others I didn't know-made up-the girls' chorus. Milton Gilmore and Harry Hill were the only two boys I knew. On Sunday I decided to go to the South Methodist Church. All the while the pastor was preaching, I thought his voice and face familiar. When church finally ended, I made it my business to inquire of my neigh- bor who he was. I learned that it was the Rev. Charles Dillman. He cer- tainly could preach an inspiring sermon. On Sunday afternoon as I was walking down the street, I met Eddie Shepard. After chatting a great deal about nothing, I learned that he was working, as a model in a very fine haberdashery, there. The next day I received a letter from Jane Keil and Joyce Worrall who had been traveling all over the United States and had met many of the '32 class. The first person they mentioned was Jack Childs who had been elected Sheriff of Clark County. CThat job certainly seems to run in the family.J They had seen Robert Brummett and Ruth Cain who were mar- ried and had a child. They said while they were in New York they had seen the Trifling Trio on the stage. Of course you know who they are: Sam Cowling, Louis Perkins, and Gilbert Jones. They had also visited Indiana University where they had seen Edwin Mclver and Arthur Schafer who were yell leaders. They sent me a New York paper with the most in- teresting topics marked. The first one I read was of Raymond Kramer, Edward Knoerr, Ken- neth Kendall, Morton Roederer, and Frank Riley who had joined the Navy. The second was a write-up about Edward Bolly, Garland Lewis, and Charles Scott who had become famous basketball stars. Any one could have predicted such a future for three such brilliant players. The third thing I saw was an advertisement of a Beauty Parlor owned by the Misses Cora Reed, Edna Reily, and Ruby Rough. If you should want an appointment call Highland 384. Jane said she and Joyce were glad to be back home but wouldn't take a thousand dollars for what they had seen. That's what I call an illuminating letter. Yes? My parents kept me posted on the news from home so I learned that Robert Phillips was teaching Frenchg Thomas Prince, Arithmeticg Joyce Schaefer, Latin, at old Jeff. High. After reading all this interesting and exciting news, I decided I had better get my tea-room going . CI had named it the Glen-Loul. It was a big success from the first and I hardly had time to breath. In the Spring I placed my tea-room in capable hands and took a vacation. Instead of traveling straight through, I stopped off a few days at different towns. The first one was Jacksonville. I stayed there for two days. The first person I met was Glenna Childress who was living with her sister. We had supper together then went to a theater. The feature picture was very good, but the thing we enjoyed most was Italian Readings by William Jackson. You remember how well he read in High School? 0 IIIIIIII llllllll Illlllll llllllll Illlllll llllllll llllllll llllllll Illlllll llllllll Illlllll llllllll Illlllll llllllll llllllll llllllll Illlllll llllllll llllllll IIIIIIII Illlllllgllllllll Illlllll IIIIIIII Illlllll llllllll Illlllll llllllll llllllll llllllll llllllll llllllll Illlllll I 6

left alone wondering what to do next. Not finding a ready answer to this problem, I decided to be on my way again. The last stop I made before I reached home, was at Lincoln's Birth- place in Hodgensville, Ky. Oh, it was a beautiful, restful spot after all my wanderings around. It was just after noon when I got there and I wanted go be lgome by that night. That didn't leave me much time, but I made the est o it. Wfhile I was looking at Lincoln's log cabin, a hilarious group of young girls and boys come in. Here again I was lucky in meeting some of my '32 classmates. In the crowd were: Ruth Straw, Annabel White, Kenneth Wisdom, Donald Vance, Allen Walker, Billy Willcox, and Walter Rickard. In talking to them I learned that Hazel Snyder and Pattie Rodgers had gone into training to be nurses. It was nearing four o'clock when I finally pulled away from them and struck out, once more, for home. I reached there at about eight o'clock. My friend was waiting at the station for me, was she a sight for sore eyes! The old town looked very good to me. As soon as we reached the house, Jane Keil came over and we had a great pow-wow. I told her of all the interesting surprises I had had and she told me hersg the best one of which was about a friend, few of us will forget, Reedie VanMeter! He had gone to the Hawaiian Islands where there was a bountiful quantity of curly heads to pet. I learned also from Jane that quite a few of our old high school friends had remained at home. Albert Haas had taken over his father's work, Raymond Hobson had a small lunch counter, Willard Hopper had the management of the city A8zP's, Elmo Inzer was a real estate man, Nellie Potter had taken up dress making, Chester Lane had become an insurance agent, Gene McGill and Hazel McFarland had become clerks at Gordon's big department store, and William Mannix had remained the same old milk man. John Long had become a great poet, Charles Kehrt had opened a grocery store, Rosalie Mayer had become a Beauty Expert, and Anna K. Mosgrove had gone to Reno for a divorce. That last! What is this younger generation coming to? At 12 o'clock Jane said she must be going and would see me in the morning. Maybe, said I, with a whole lot of emphasis on it, too. I felt that after cramming all those exciting experiences into my being, I was about loaded down and ready for a long night's sleep. -Glenna Mae Dietrich. 0 O Illlllll IIIIIIII mann Illlllll Illlllll Illlllll llllllll llllllll Illlllll Illlllll Illlll I llllllll llllllll llllllll llllllll llllllll llllllll llllllll ll IIHIIII llllllll llllllll llllllll .V Illllll' ' llll I Illll 'llllll Iu IllIl I IIIIIIII
