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

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

Gly r Gfupir Senior Class History HE HARDY explorers of the Senior Class venture into the deepest jungles of the land of study . We are determined to delve into the deepest and most hidden wells of learning and dig out boundless knowledge before returning to the usual life. We are led onward and over almost in- surmountable obstacles by worthy leader Richard Eichenberger and his assistants Edward Bolly, Marie Dolan, Edward Shepard, and -Charles Scott. We pitch camp in the heart of the forests and set out boldly to extract hidden knowledge. We explore the unknown valleys of Science and Arith- metic. We ascend to the topless peaks of Religion. We are ever harassed by our foes, the beasts of the world, Latin, Stenography, Typing, and Book- keeping. The warriors of thertribe venture forth to battle against rival tribes on the hard-Wood. With such luminaries as Sam Cowling, Richard Eichen- berger, George Edgington, A. P. Haas, John Long, Louie Perkins, and Eddie Mclverg they won the Intramural League Crown and are expected to do big things in the Tourney at the end of the league. We venture into the land of Dramatics and now stage a wonderful success, The Count and the Co-ed , an operetta in two acts. The Senior Play, The Blossoming of Mary Ann , in five acts was a huge financial success. And then we stage a final battle against our foes, examinations, and make a final quest for education. At last we emerge from the forest victorious against all obstacles, and abounding in learning. We are feted by our friends, the Juniors, at the J unior-Senior Reception. And now the crowning of our labor,-Graduation! Perseverance meant Success of ninety-seven successful adventurers, for after four years they had completed their search. -Ruth Stfrauch., '32.
