THE RETROSPECT and were ushered into an aeroplane. The girls told me that Roberta Pierson and Martha Woodruff had bought the Rue de la Paix Tea Room in Paris, and that 'Mickey Kelley, since she was so well known for her famous musical readings. was at the Tea Room to entertain on the opening night. I next asked about Quelda Frederick and Norma Fletcher. They told me that Quelda was Secretary of State at Washington. and that Norma was editor of the New York Tribune. Mary told me that Charles Talbott had married one of the girls from the class of '30 about five years after he had finished school and was very happy. She said that she didn't know where Jim Godschalk was, but she knew that he was mar- ried. On arriving home, Lettie suggested going to the Rue de la Paix to see Roberta and Martha, since I was planning tore- turn to America the next day. Roberta and Martha were charming hostess at the Tea Room. Martha said that she had received a letter from Quelda who told her that Jim Gods- chalk had bought the Taggart Haking Company. I knew Jim would do something like that because he made such good bread when he worked in the bakery at the llome. That night as we were returning from the cabaret the chauffeur lost control of the aeroplane and CRASH!!! What was that?????? I started, raised my head, and looked around in a dazed way. Then everything came back to me. I gath- ered my books and went to my next class exclaiming, Gee, I'm glad that was the buzzer calling me to class instead of an aeroplane accident.
