It was a beautiful day in early spring when the leaves and grass were tender green, and tulips and hyacinths flirted with the breeze. But my heart was a cold lump, for far away in this no-time-for-courtesies city I had lived for the past ten years and never once had I run across an old friend from dear old Otwell. As I went down on the elevator, I was thinking of those yesteryears and wishing for the thousandth time that they were back again, when someone laid his hand hesitantly upon my arm. Pardon, Miss, but aren't you Karen Ruckriegle? he inquired. I gasped, Jerry Pride, what are you doing in Los Angeles? N Didn't you know that I'm a newspaper reporter for the International News Service? I'm on my way to Hollywood now to get an exclusive story about Elvis Presley. Ruth is going to meet me when I've finished, and we 're going out to dinner, Want to join us? Why, yes, Jerry, l'd love to. When we arrived in Hollywood, we went to the MGM Studios where, much to our surprise, we saw another old class chum, Loretta Brown. She told us she had just accepted a job as chief hairdresser at MGM, after having worked in Paris for the past ten years. After talking to Loretta for a few minutes, we were informed that Elvis was sick and had not come to the studio that day. However, Elvis's secretary, Marilyn Wiseman, told us that we could interview his side-kick. Can you imagine our surprise when it turned out to be Joe K. Alexander! That night after dinner Jerry took Ruth and me to Madam Kathie's Tea House, and as we entered, a beautiful lady dressed in red to correspond with the coloring of the. room fappar- ently the owner of the placej smiled so that her white teeth flashed in the pale light. Well, you should know by now that it was Katherine Powell, She escorted us to a table where her gypsy fortune-teller was sitting. Katherine asked me ifl wished to look into the magic ball and see the fate of some of my other schoolmates. On an island where the palm trees grow I saw Bob Gray and Dick Hill, both privates in Uncle Sam's Army. Bob was still as quiet as ever, and Dick had just been nominated for the Most Mischievous Boy in the U. S. Army award. The scene changed, and in a mansion down in South America sat a rich, unmarried man. After seeing the hot, customized convertible in the driveway, I was convinced that it must be Jim Lindauer. About ten miles away I saw Martha Sue Traylor doing a two-fold job. She was both a cler-typist and the wife of Ronnie Richardson. I then saw Karen Mosby who was living abroad raising little Phillippinos. Skipping around to various parts of the United States, I saw in our nation 's capitol two former classmates, Wilma Sendelweck and Juanita Rincker, laboring over their many secre- tarial duties for the President. -Rfl-
