Here I saw Mildred King talking to a man who looked quite familiar. As I came a little closer, 1 recognized him to be Arnold Amerman, Al’s campaign manager. “My, Skeety, you’ve grown so much I hardly recognized you. What have you been doing? Have you heard anything about the old gang?” “I’m here to arrange some last minute details before A1 goes on the air. I'll cer- tainly be glad when it’s over. Didn’t you know Mildred Chartier’s all-girl orchestra goes on just after Al’s campaign speech? She has quite a few girls from Paxton in it. Mary Jane tickles the keys and the girls’ trio consisting of Dot Engstrom, Ruth Younggreen, and Catherine Martin are featured with her. You should hear Mil go to town on her trumpet. Oh, yes, if you want to go back to the control room, you can see Sam Earnest, the chief engineer. Well, Lola, tell me what you’ve been doing.” “I’ve been in Chicago buying beauty supplies. I’m about to open a beauty shop here

I was lucky enough to get this job through them.” I had no time to chat with John so I walked into the lobby and stepped into the ele- vator. Imagine my amazement, when I saw the elevator boy was none other than Helmer Hanson. We had quite a talk. He told me that he had left Paxton about a month ago. 1 asked him if he had seen any of the old gang of 35. He said that Elijah Adkins and Ronald Frette were partners in a dairy farm with Hugh Stone and Harold Cornelison as their employees and that their business was prospering. Viola Fossel, Dorothy An- derson, Nadyne Tieman, Gladys Dale, and Geraldine O’Hare were now married and set- tled on farms. Howard Peterson found that prosperity was well on its way when he undertook to run the elevator in Elliott. I had now reached my destination and said good-bye to Helmer. I walked down the corridor and finally came to the room in which the broadcast was being held. Not be-

While I was in Chicago I had dinner at the College Inn with Delmar Gurley. He is vice-president of Swift and Company now, you know. We chose the Col- J® e. «Penally so we could see the famous dancing team, Sandberg and Higginson. Their dancing was superb and their grace was exquisite. To think they got their start back in P. C. H. S. I really must go, and I know you are a busy man. I hope I’ll see you again soon. Give AI my regards and wish him luck for me.” I left Arnold and went to the room and listened to Al’s speech, which was very im- pressive. Immediately after the speech, Chartier’s Merry Makers gave a very peppy program. It seemed good to see them again; I wished I could have been singing with them. After the program, I went with the girls to Everett Nelson’s Elite Cafe. We were served by Lucille Overstreet. During the meal we talked over old times. Ruth Young- green had been back to Paxton for a few days’ visit. While she was there, she attended
