On afternoons off, she is seen sporting around in that cream-colored Buick convertible, she has al- ways dreamed of. About a week ago, Betty told me she had found her tall, dark, and sandsome andrich ideal. Yes, believe it or not, Betty is actually dreuq-eyed about him. Beck on the street I ran into Grace and Jack and the little tots, Seeing nv surprised look, Grace explained that they were taking the neighbors kids to the park and only two were theirs. I asked them where they had been because we hadn't seen them at their favorite night spot. They told me they were going to reture now, because they had completed 1' A their long lreamed of ambition, a cruise around the world, in their own yacht. Grace said it had been sort of like a second honeymoon. I I finished by shopping and started home. I stopped f at Bob Waggoner's Gas Station to have my car checked. Bob has now taked up professional singing. He is rated as the crooner of the, Bobby Soxeral' next to Frankie. critics say K that within the next year, Waggener shall take Sinatra's A9g'k place as top crooner. I asked Bob shy he bothered running a l'i 7K. gas station, when A e was so famous as a singer. He replied, 'Y- It's cheaper that way, I don't have to buy any gas, I use Al the compargv's. Let's hear from Jack Now. After I left Phyll:ls's studio, I went to see ltlke at the bank. After I had checked hi-s books, I sat , and talked with him awhile. I told, him of how I had met Iyle and Phyl, and then I mentioned the plan we had in mind. I told him the people I had on my list: Kenny, Virgil, Mary Ellen, Harold, Esther,-Pauline and Lipton. Of course everybody in . the Unitied States knew where Harold and Kenmr were and you -f, will soon see shy. That left two people that I knew nothing of. I-low in the world was I going to find them. I watched every paper, wrote letters and more letters to people wh'o I thought night know. but those two just seemed to have set- . tled down in a quiet life. It seemed so strange after their happy-go-lucky high school days. Nell, that was too .bad because there were two people I would have to skip, but that couldn't be helped. I thought I would see Pauline before I left for my vacation. You see, Pauline married a millionaire four years after she graduated and they live in New York. She and h er x H HLIBH S uf?

I talked to Pauline awhile and she told me that she is very happy. Although she is strictly of the New York society class, she still is very friendly to us common people. As I was about to leave, I mentioned my problem about Esther and Mary Ellen, and much to my surprise, I found that she had been writing to them since high school. She told me where they lived and that was all the information I needed. The next day about eleven o'clock, I left for my vacation. I started south from New York, and passing through New Jersey, I stopped at Atlantic City for a bite to eat. After lunch I strolled out to the beach. There was a hot game of tennis in grogress, and after watching it awhile, I got a little sweat up, just from watchigg this game, so you see how hot it was that day. I decided to go for a short swim, so in I went. It was so cool and refreshing I stayed there until five o'c1ock. With that day pretty well gone, I decided to leave the city and spend the night in a cabin just outside the city so I could get away from city traffic in the morning. I found a good group of cabins, so I turned in. The next mor.ing I started my way again. That day I passed through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, arriv- ing in Washington D. C. that evening. I had dinner that night with the President and a very distinguished Senator. Yes, President Webb and Senator Stevenson. Kenny is head of one of the best executive adminstrations in the history of the United States. Harold is in his second term, and I guess he is really giving those Democrats something tofight. Although he is a strong Republican, as usual he is .putting the interests of the country before his own interests. I am sure you will agree that with these boys in the goycrnment, we are bound to go in the right direction. Kenny tells me that even the Congress is not any different from the Senior class meetingsg just a lot of howling Hbig wheels.H I stayed that night in Washington, and started North on the Pennsylvania Turnpike the next morning. I was head- ing back for Lordstown. Boy, has it changed! New stores, a theatre, confectionarys and many other new improvements. But among all the new buildings, the old ones still remain. It was really nice to get back Whomen again. I was going around seeing all my old friends when I happened to see Esther, and that was a surprise, because Pauline had told me I M. a-JEL I LRXX ' fy- - gglllgil-1L1lsl1Ts li., X! 5 Sl'
