November 14. New York City. I’m beginning to get dizzy from counting people; but here we are. Since the U. N. is paying our expenses, we’re stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria. Looking through a radio magazine we notice an item about our old classmate, Dale Reinhardt. According to the article, he’s rapidly taking over Walter Winchell’s position. The only difference is more talk and less news. We decided to tune in to- night. One of his items concerned another of our class, Bob Krager. It seems Bob went back to Sweden when Harriet said. “Just Maybe.” He was so upset that he led a revolution. As a result of losing, he was beheaded. December 29. Boston, Massachusetts. Do you remember our old home eco- nomics teacher? Well, she’s now here in Boston. You’ll never guess what she is doing. She’s figuring how to use up the surplus of raisins we now have. January 3. Vassar University. I always knew we had a wolf in the crowd at school but I never figured he’d go this far. Johnny Starks is foot- ball coach here. He has the outstanding girls’ team in the country. They’re especially noted for their offensive playing. His wife, Barb, is now dean here. Somebody by the name of Luis French is Johnny’s fifth assistant. February 14. Augusta, Maine. Another teacher is found! Mr. Broad came up here one time for a vacation and got snowed in so he just decided to stay a while. He’s now manufacturing novelty bow ties. April 4. Arabia. It’s now been one whole year since this whole thing start- ed. Our nerves are now soothed though. We came across Edith Downs today. As usual, she was good for some laughs. Although she hardly ever sees anyone because of living in the desert, she’s still just like always. Her occupation? Raising ducks. May 3. Tokyo, Japan. We got hold of an American newspaper and really had a good time reading it. One item in particular caught our eye. it was the one naming the best dressed women in the world. Our senior sponsor, Miss Dittmer, was the first. June 25. San Francisco, California. We’re back in the States! Because we weren’t allowed through the iron curtain we counted people from a jet plane. That was really a job. June 29. Hollywood. The city of beautiful women! We were beginning to wonder if we would ever see anyone else we knew. Well, we found two today. Betty Taylor and Clara Peterich are running a special type of beauty parior. Need a wig? Your toupee a little worn? How about a blue streak through that red hair of yours? They’ll fix it, believe it or not. July 6. Denver, Colorado. This is now the summer capital of the United States. We went calling on the Secretary of Agriculture to see what was to be done with the surplus of hogs in the country. We spent quite a while chatting. You see Mr. Lippert wras so glad to see someone he knew that he cancelled all his appointment with the hens. August 7. Kouts. We hired some extra help and came back to Indiana. We personally took the Gary census and found Ethel Birky. We were simply floored when she told us her occupation. She’s a bubble dancer on Washington Street. I guess one never knows, does one?
