May 3, 1955 Dear Diary: Since my partner, Lauren Gale, and I have retired from our business of producing concentrated food pills, we’ve decided to look up our old class- mates of 1935. May, 4 Late last night we landed in Oakridge in our auto-gyro-plane. Only one of our dear friends was still living there, he being. Max Greer. Max told us he was an archeologist, and was hunting for dinosaurs in Dead Moun- tain. From Eleanor’s folks we found out Eleanor had a job as head book- keeper with an insurance firm in Denver until it went broke. Then she married her boss and is now’ living on a small farm near Eugene. May 10 In Paris wre located a few' more of our classmates. In one of the tea houses we met Edythe Blanton, who told us she had become the wife of Mr. Detour in 1945. She had given up her work as dress designer in Paris. She also told us about Jerry Varrelman for whom we had held great hopes as an athlete, but he is now a Paris gigolo and accomplished tango dancer. May 20 In the Washington D. C. Library we met Lucille Weber, formerly Lucille Fisher. Although professors have said that marriage and a career doesn’t mix, she has for the past ten years brought up a family of six and held her job. May 22 Today we happened to meet a small old lady on the street, whom we recognized as Miss Rinnell, (now Mrs. J. Rockford). She told us that Perry Thompson had become a famous lawyer after graduating from the Crooked Law' School, but died of a broken heart when he failed to prove his wife was innocent of a framed charge. Miss Rinnell informed us that Wayne Smith had become a Big Baseball Leaguer. In 1942 he became the favorite circus clow n in the Four Ring Circus. May 25 While stopping in Washington, we were leafing through the Telephone Directory and found Lilly Natterlund’s name printed in large letters, as proprietor of an institute for stray alley cats. We learned from her rela- tions that she had been disappointed in love and taken up this as her life’s work after her husband had died. May 27 Last night w’e went to an opera and heard Madame Drucella sing, “The Silver Moon.’’ Talking w’ith her later, we found out that she had contin- ued her music since high school and was now married. June 1 When stopping at the Grand Hotel in Philadephia we were greeted by 6

These officers along with the Presidents of the respective classes and the athletic managers under the supervision of Mr. Sprague constituted the Student Council which was the governing body of the High School. This group has done very much toward making the school year of ’34-’35 one of great success. 5

Beth Nixon, formerly Beth Woodruff. She is the wife of the proprietor and is the hotel hostess. She told us the sad fate of Edythe Sprague, who had become an aviatrix and during one of her spectacular flights she crash- ed and was instantly killed. June 10 Today we were in an antique shop, where we were surprised to find the last one of our classmates, Pearl Paddock. She had spent her life teaching but now it was her hobby to collect antiques. June 11 More surprises! Today Lauren came to me and asked me if I d finance his expedition to Mars.' He explained that for the past ten years he’d secretly planned this trip in his new invention, Gyro-Scopic plane. Ima- gine! Here I’d been looking up all my friends in the far corners of the earth and I didn't even know what my partner, Lauren was doing. Since I’m going to get up early tomorrow to plan for that trip to Mars, I'll say good-night, dear diary.
