who were both teaching mathematics. We had lunch at that exclu- sive cabaret The Bungalow . Feb. 27. Today we leave' for Olympia where I am to meet Jim Damitio who has entire control of the Country Club and is president of the Kiawanis . Feb. 28. Met Jim this morning and as Legislature is now in ses- sion we made up our minds to get there early. ' Feb. 28,-5:45.4In Legislature today I heard one clear voice that arrested my attention, a woman's voice and that woman was Erma Lindsey, Senator from Grays Harbor County. After session was over for the day we met her and she told us if we were to go over to Oak- ville and see the work that Merrill Irvin was doing we'd be thankful and proud that he was a graduate of our class. Mar. 2. Came to Oakville yesterday and was sure some surprised to see the improvements. 'It is practically a new city. Merrill is a civil engineer and has gained nation wide fame for his extensive knowledge of architecture and construction. He told me this even- ing that he had been talking to Clifford Elliot who had come west a few months before. He said that Cliff was the maker of the new ex- clusively priced Ellison cars. Made only in the two models, the giant limousine and the monstrous seven 'passenger touring. Mar. 4. Will start south for New Orleans Monday. 6th, Mar. 5. Merrill and I had a farewell dinner together today also sort of a celebration. The new Club House has been completed at the East End Progressive Country Club . Mar. 6. Left Oakville today. Drove as far as Portland and de- cided to stay over night. After dinner I went to L' Opera the famous opera house. Everyone was tensely excited and when I was handed a program I understood because the famous pianist Mme. Phillipe was to play. She played the first four numbers I recognized her immediately for it was none other than our Fanny Newton. She was as glad and surprised to see me as I was to see her. Her hus- band, the composer Mon. Phillipe wrote all her music for her. Mar. 8. Left Portland yesterday. Francelle told me that I would find Agnes Elder in Baton Rouge, and so I made up my mind to see her. Mar. 14. Arrived in Baton Rouge today and went to the address Francelle had given me. Was shown to the oflice and there in a big chair at the head manager's desk was Agnes. She told me all about herself and how she had built up the great exclusive woman's shop, It seems that she is a second Mme. Lucille. She does all her own dg- signing. Before I left I gave her the addresses of all the classmen of '23 and between us we telegraphed them all, then decided on a. near future date for a big reunion. It was to be on May 31st 1941. Eigh- teen years after our graduation. We were all to meet in Seattle ' -!,, the 29th and leave for Oakville on the morning of the 30th. on E. L. L. '23, -:-- ,- -,r ' -gg-:' 4
