gfarid plvphety At long last Karie and I were on our vacation. We had strived and planned and saved for this particular trip. Wonder of wonders we were heading back to dear ole South Eastern Kansas and after ten years of working in the great metroplis of New York we knew that the plains of Kansas would be a welcome sight. Marie and I stored our hospital garments and donned our gag colorful new vacation clothes. Of course it took a great deal of persuading on aries part to get her husband, who was chief of staff at Mercy Hospital, where I am a registered nurse, to let her go on this trip alone. I had no husband here to consult, because my heart still belongs in South Eastern Kansas. We called a taxi and were on our way to high adventure and home. Idttle did we know that we would meet many familiar faces and friends along the way. Soon we were at the station aboard the Super Chief for points west. After being comf- ortably seated we heard the familiar call of Sandwiches, milk, coffee, as the man raised hh ht away from his eyes we discovered none other then Charles McGowan who told us he had traveled this same route so many times he felt that whenever trwert home to his wife, the former Norma Curtis thlhe was still moving on rails. tgrglzlg 10381557 conversation, Charles went on with his work and we, on with our O The next morning we arrived In Chicago where we had a two hour walt for a change of trains. as it was breakfast time we went into the station coffee shop. The waitress was our dear classmate Helen Warren, who had given up the idea of school teaching and came to the city for some exciting times. While eating we listened to the radio and were nearly floored when the newest bobby sox swooner crooner, Harold Snyder came on the air and sang love melodies. That wasn't enough to getus all excited, when at the end of the program we found more than we expected. Harold's announcer was the one and only, Richard Siskey. He was now advertising for the two-way strech compangl Suddenly through the morning air we heard the warning clang of fire engines. lnce we had some time extra to wait we wed: out to investigate the commotion. Again another familiar face came into view there was Ieroy Stevens roaring through the streets in the fire engine. As the crowd gathered we noticed two photographers snapping pictures of all an les and nwere overjoyed to see lr. and Mrs. Newell, llrs. Newell being cmformer sargaret Charlton. We traded latest news items while they were snapping pictures and the firemen fought the blaze. We noticed that there were a few casuallties and as tbDr. in attendance bent over the injured patient we thought we recognized those million dollar hands and sure enough there was Dr. Frank Villamarla who gave his gltous grin. Of course we were bursting with questions and he informed us that lore were a few more old classmates here in Chicago. He himself had married his 'life-long sweetheart, from his home town. We didn't have to ask who the class- lsbes ire because at that moment Frank Simone with a screech of brakes drovexp in a shiny black hearse. No, Dr. Villamarla and Frank Simone werern't in buginegg together. Just a strange coincidence lol We noticed that it was time to board the train so off we hurried to our seats. On itraveled: ommore sto before ltineral and that was Kansas City. we reach ed Kansas city that like nigh? and while waiting for our change of trains we decided to do the city. we read the lights and kept getting surprises by noticing that the Allen sisters were featured in a lance show of their own. Rrlene and Bilene were happy te see us as we were to see them. Rrlene told us that she had just ctten a divorce from Frank Simone but that lllene was happily married to Frank ilorio who was running a flower shop. After the show we visited the Kansas City airport where we fours! Edith Shldeler a, stewardess on the T., U. A. airlinesand none other than Iavcnna Hills and Howard Harris boarding the plane for Alaska. Howard was going to carry on with his fur trading. He had some to Kansas to make Iavenna his bride.

She was working- tm the lineral telephone office. Everyone told us that Slick hd taken Coach Broadhursts place as coach in dear old ll. R. H. S.
