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'

I asked her where Benny was, and she said he was in the hospital undergoing -an appendicitis operation. It seems he had gotten a pain in his side, so he went to a doctor for a checkup and he had sent him to the hospital. I guess he would be ready to travel in a week though, and then they would be on their way again. I stayed in Warren that night at Baker Hotel which Mr. Baker had just finished building, and since I knew him I decided to go there. Believe me, it was the nicest night I ever spent in a hotel. The next day, feeling completely rested, I plann- ed to travel along way. I started early and stopped late that night in Chicago. Boy,what a time I had trying to find a room there. I finally found a room in the fifth hotel I looked in. Although I was tired, I was not sleepy so I de- cided to see a show. After the show, I turned in. The next day I crossed the Muddy Mississippi and I mean it was muddy. It rained all day so I didn't drive very far. I reached St. Louis, where Lipton was supposed to be, found a room, and set out to find a trace of Lipton. I couldn't find whers he lived, but I did locate the place where he worked. T decided to wait till the next day to see him. In the morning,I found him looking over the blueprints for the new road he waw building. After he had Graduated, he had taken up engineering and now had a very good business which would last for the rest of his life. I left Lipton and continued westward. It was a very nice day, so I drove slow, letting the warm air blow across my face. I crossed into Kansas and stopped in Topeka. I slept like a log that night, in fact a good part of the morning too. I got up at 10:30. I was still sleepy, but I couldn't sleep all day and get to see Mary Ellen, so I set out to find her. I had obtained her address from Pauline. I found her house in a nice part of town with large shade trees on both sides of the street. Her house is a beautiful, modern, nine room 'brick house. I arrived just in time,too. She and her hus- band were just sitting down for dinner, and she invited me to have a bite to eat with them. I had not eaten any break- fast, so I accepted. Man, Oh man, what a cook she turned out to be! I ate and ate, then I ate s me more. After I .- S? is 'IX N W I i Q If . yi ight Iv E 5,5 -Q - , ata T11 65 if in I Bias. M u. ascii X f el HIGHLIGHTS lf
