Senior Class iprojdirrii. In tin spring of 1928. out on ‘•T9’ Ranch in Wyoming, my partner A. K. (’• and I decided to take a vacation and go on an automobile tour through the eastern states. On the second day ol our trip, when noon came we stopped our car iu front of a cozy ranch-house to ask for some food. I knocked at the door and it was o|iened by a comely housewife. I asked if I might buy a loaf of bread, but her eyes opened wide with astonishment as she exclaimed: “Why Amy .Murdock! Mow do you happen to In here?” I looked at her and lo! it was my old school mate. Letha Bryce. We then stopped for dinner and had a good visit. Muring the course of the meal, I remarked, “What tine honey this is-Where did yon get it?” She answered. “Prom Floyd ('ollins apiary, just a few miles down the road. You must be sure to stop and see him”. That afternoon, we took Lelha s advice and stopped at the apiary. After we were greeted by Floyd and had looked around the grounds, he said: I am sure you want to sen my •Queen Boa who is in the house” From the merry twinkle of his eyes I was sure it would be worth our time, and truly we had a tine chat with his Bea. After many days travel among mountains, we arrived at the beautiful little city of Colorado Springs. While visiting places of reiown, there, we went through the Woodman Sanitarium. As I was acquainted with one of the leading physicians of that place, we met many doctors and nurses- Doctor Hill said: “I want yon to meet one of our young nurses who promises to be famous some day. Her pleasant winning ways and excellent training are sure to make her one of the best nurses in the Cnited States”. dust then she appeared walking briskly across the grounds from one of tin1 tents. The morning sun shone full upon her, and as I gazed upon the immaculately clad figure. I almost shouted with joy. as I grasped the bands of Gladys Best-After a few days we left Colorado Springs and drove on eastward. When we reached Omaha. Nebraska, we attended a lecture one night. The house was crowded and great was the applause as the curtain was raised. After a short introductory address, the speaker, a tall light coinplexioned man. gepped forward, while his clear blue eyes for an instant swept over his audience- At his first words, a keen witty remark, his handsome face lighted up with a smile and my heart gave a bound as I exclaimed liailf aloud. ‘‘Why that's Bade”! Three d ys after we left Omaha, we entered the town of Muscat ine. Iowa. We went to a garage to have an inner tube re I aired and as I stood beside the door, a fine touring car was driven up. A (all slender man got out and entered the garage. The beauty of the car impressed me so that I asked the chauffeur what make if was “It’s an O. K. W.” was tin reply. “Finest car on the market-Tlie Boss just stepped in there, better let him tell you about it . Just then the owner of the car returned and I came to the
