I was interested in the new library just completed. Gertrude Poling, the librarian, greeted me as I entered. Her assistants were Helen Lott, Madge Stimel, and Betty Smith. In the reading room I met Robert Daubenmier, Betty Poling, Roseann Brown, Bob Bateman, Ann Smith, Pauline McWilliams, and Morton Epstein. Across the street from the library was a very modernistic drugstore, which looked very inviting on such a warm day. It was very comfortable and I was glad to rest. When my order was taken, it was given to none other than Betty Jean Friend. She said that jo Robey Case owned it and among the employees she named I recognized the names of Martha Ann Lee and Dorothy Meyers. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Courter fthe former Jean Featherj came in before I left and during a short chat with them I learned that Jo Ann Adcock was vocalist for Dick Buntz's swing band. At another table I saw Miriam Mock, Retha Mohler, Winojean Sloan, and Anna Mae Nutter. At the huge skating rink constructed by joe Robinette, I saw among the skaters Don Hemsworth, Ruth Martin, Freda Hutchison, Corinne Hardgrove, and Eugene Miller. On attending church on Sunday, I was tremendously surprised to find Dale Bumgardner as the minister. I noticed among the parishioners Dale Schultz, Myrtle Glass, Pauline Davis, Leota Keinzle, Helen Ellinger, Helen K'Miller, Gerald Miller, Sam Ford, Thelma McCune, Monabelle Beougher, Jeanette Leonard, and Pansy Hugli. Many of these wonderful changes were brought about by the splendid publicity given our fair city by the mayor, Joe Smith, and our congressman, James Brehm. One evening in the company of a friend, I took a stroll up the hill to visit old school scenes. New and more imposing edifices had taken the place of the old ones, but in the deepening dusk I could still see in memory the outlines of the old familiar red brick structure in which I had spent so many happy carefree hours. Mingled with the distant sounds of the city, were the remembered voices of my classmates of long ago. I felt a mingled emotion of both joy and sorrow-sorrow for youth and days long gone by, but joy in the thought that, although the Class of '44 was scattered to many parts of the world, each had been able to find his niche in life and that everyone of us was contributing our bit toward the making of a better world and thus the dreams we had dreamed in old L.H.S. had been fulilled. - NBTTIE Baiucan, Sixth Honor Student ze,

In planning my trip, I had arranged for stop overs at various places that I had been wanting to visit for some time. In Panama I met Violet Culbertson, Rose Summers, and Virginia Dawson who were returning to the United States for a rest after serving in the missionary Held. In Mexico, which I found to be a very fascinating country, I met Sue Schempp who told me that she was studying art in Mexico City. I went from there to Los Angeles, where I decided it would be advisable for me to check up on the latest fashions. Stepping into a very unique dress shop I found the owner to be jean Loomis. Her employees greeting me were jane Windle, Helen Rutter, Betty Kline, and Ruby Rice. They told me that Christina Smith had an oflice in the same building, and that she had become a very successful psychologist. I reached Logan in the afternoon of a day in May. As the plane circled in preparation for landing, I had a bird's-eyefview of the town, and from my Erst glance I knew that many changes had taken place. Everywhere there was color from the early May shrubs. Native blooming shrubs, trees, and flowers bordered the lovely highways which branched out in all directions from the town. I learned later that under the enterprising president of the Chamber of Commerce, Dale Derr, a program of city planning had been carried out with splendid results. Logan had now become a mecca for tourists, and people from all parts of the world were coming to visit the Hocking County Wonderland. Several large imposing structures, which I could not identify at first, were later pointed out to me as new hotels, which enjoyed national reputations for fine food, entertainment, and service. The Mayflower Hotel was owned by John Buchanan. Among the employees were Marjorie Ellis, Mary Jo Brown, Charles Smith, and Lloyd Lehman. Ned Smith was the owner of the Grand Scenic Inn, and he employed Grace Chute, Paul Ucker, Wilma St. Clair, and George Coakley. I was pleasantly surprised when James Harbarger met me as I entered the Ritz Hotel. He was managing it for Bill Ford. The desk clerk, Lee Lehman, told me that Martha Pierson was the owner's private secretary, John Richards the chef, and Joan Kalkosch the hostess. In one of the hotels I picked up a booklet printed by Richard Dollison on our scenic wonderland. In the list of guides I saw the names of Paul Neff, Edwin Turner, James Oblinger, John Cox, jack Allberry, Charles Bock, Rex Dupler, and Earl Freeman. I also noticed in the pamphlet some remarks of interest written by Louise Bowers on the impressions some very outstanding people had made concerning Logan and its surrounding beauty. 25
