We sat at a side table and watched the famous’ dance team who was none Other than Johnnie Williams and Evelyn Sanders. After greeting our friends we went in swimming and watched the nationally known diver, Gilreath Davis. On our third day in California we started a trip to Hollywood to see if any of our classmates had chosen acting as a career. On the way we collided with another car and all of us were taken to the hospital. Driving the ambulance was Richard London. After Drs. Evelyn Petrea and Leonard Linn had seen that we were not hurt we were released. Driving, we passed many homes, and was not surprised to see Bonnie Poarch and W1l- liam Parks Beaver cleaning the yard of their new home. After talking to them we te- sumed our trip to Hollywood.
