----- - seamen. I asked them in and we proceeded to talk over old times. Guinevere informed me she had become a licensed beauty-operator since graduation. May 24-, 1951 Dear Diary, Well, five years ago today a very important thing happened in the lives of thirteen members of N.H.S. How time flies! Tonight my husband and I decided to have lunch at some secluded place. We took a taxi and to my surprise I found the driver to be none other than Vernon Keith. He told me he had been in the air corps for three years but decided to give it up and concentrate on something else for his career. He advised some eating place he knew about and said I was in for a surprise. He drove up to the corner of Spring and Suxnmer Street and we invited him in to eat with us but he declined, saying he had other plans. The name of the Restaurant was Gertie's Place. We walked into a seemingly quiet place. After we were seated I heard someone running and calling me by my old nick-name. I glanced up and found the head waitress to be none other than Gertrude Simon. She slipped away and promised me a surprise. I certainly was surprised too, for when she came back who should be with her but another classmate, Jean Kramer. jean is Gertrude's assistant manager. She informed me she was married and is very happy. She left shortly, promising to visit us soon. Gertrude said they were planning on setting up a larger business together. We left but not until Gertrude promised us she would visit us. Before we parted she happily announced her plans for marriage. I certainly had had enough surprises for one day.

I thought he looked like he had been his own cook for awhile so l asked him to stay for dinner. All morning long we thrashed out the class of 1946. It seems that Ronald ran into Frances Smith on the street in Wisconsin. She is a little dairy-maid now and she loves her work. Ronald says she was married to a boxer but he got clipped so she is enjoying her freedom. She has a set of twins-fgirlsj

----- ' MM- - Ronald left after dinner so I went back to bed, The telephone rang and who should it be but Dorthy Starr. Isn't it funny how these old classmates can remember what time I have my meals? Dorthy had just a few hours between trains and was coming over. She arrived just in time to eat and then we chatted as we did the dishes. Dorthy is working in the movies as a bathing -beauty and she really wows them. She said she had no intentions of getting married for awhile. Movies, was decidedly her career. She looked fine and said she was on her way to her summer resort where she was going to have a movie party for Van and some of her friends. After Dorthy left I went down town and did some shopping. june 10, 1951 Dear Diary, Today, being our third wedding anniversary, my husband and I dinned at Hotel Ritz, We went dancing after eating and ran into another old classmate, Duane McBride and wife. We secured a table and had a good talk. He told me he was living in a near-by town and had become business manager of a large firm. We agreed to visit them the following Sunday. Having discovered the whereabouts of all my old schoolmates of, N.H.S. I can settle down to some real living. - - Shirley Biddinger
