bi June ll, 1957 Dear Staff, Although you students of today do not remember us, we have never forgotten good old L.U.H.S. t d Mar'orie Augusta and Thelma Reynolds were graduated. When we were fggghgeg?aw2 aglangegytgesave up money and travel together. At last the day came. We have just returned from a world tour, and would you believe what we saw! We left right after eating breakfast at the Brentwood Hotel. May we compliment Tressie Rich- ards on her excellent cooking? Troubles beset us immediately. We discovered that we had a flat tire However, we were not delayed long, for that ever-gallant classmate of ours, Billy Bowser soon June repaired it. We left our car at the O.K. Garage, which is now owned by Bill Hoy. His wife, lKelsol passed by on her way to take their two children to school where, as you all know, Albert McNamara is now principal. At the dock at San Francisco, we were pushed by a hurrying passenger whom we later recognized as Shizuko Okazaki. She told us that she was on her way to Paris to continue studying art. We were very surprised and amazed to see a sign advertising M iss Virginia Prewett ----- Queen of Burlesque.W Thelma was so astounded while trying to read the sign and close our trunk at the same time, that she neglected to take her finger out before she locked the trunk. Marjorie rushed her to the nearest doctor, and who should it be but Dale Heidorn! His wife, Mary Elizabeth, is still his nurse. At last we sailed. The ship's orchestra Lvery good too!! was no other than the 'Swingsters.' After many stops, we arrived at London. Donald Wilkins gave us fine service as a bell hop in our hotel. Olga Kalmin was giving a musical comedy, oh no, we mean a concert! She told us that Francis Lesnau is a preacher. Our next stop was China. We found out that Stanley Bray is an auctioneer at Hong Kong. Olive Borba is his assistant. Kathryn Higgins was also there trying to get a job as a manicurist. We decided to visit New York. There we discovered that Jeanne Crocco is clerking in Kressfs. She told us that she met several of our classmates in the store, Gertrude Karrer, Margaret Anderson and Arvella Russell. She also told us that May De Martini had made quite a success as a woman lawyer, and Hazel Volponi is a typist for May. In order to pass away our time on the trip home, we reed movie magazines, and we were pleased to see several articles in them written by Rosalie Seeno. When we reached home, we thought it would be interesting to check the names of the people we had seen with the list of seniors in our l957 WLiberty Lion.W The only ones we had missed were: Alzada Griggs, Mary Westman, Hazel Clair Kreim, Juanita Webber, Vera Anderson, and Marjorie Smith. We knew when we graduated that Patricia Douglas, Lula Machado, and Martha Tillotson were planning to be married. Of course we know that Mary Westman is an airplane hostess. She wrote the other day and said that she had seen Hazel Clair about a month ago. Hazel was on her way to Ethopia, where she will teach the natives the latest jazz dance steps. Juanita Webber, Arvella Russell, Vera Anderson, and Marjorie Smith are the only ones that still live in Brentwood. Juanita has a riding academy, Vera teaches art at L.U.H.S. Arvella Russell and Marjorie Smith are married. Oh! and we must not forget Alzada Griggs! Remember her? She now owns a night-club in Harlem. We were very glad that we were fortunate enough to have seen so many of our former classmates We wish your class all the luck and success that ours has had! Affectionately, Two Graduates of '37 Marjorie Augusta Thelma Reynolds

Everyone came and took a chance at winning anything from balloons to live chickens. They have had a very active and successful year of giving noon dances and hamburger sales. The Prom was a success in every way but financially.
