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

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

Howard Johnson. Hazel Beland was matron of honor and Bus Healy the best man. She also saw Herschel Hammerstrand, who was the agriculture teacher in P. C. H. S., and Birdella Carnes, the history instructor. Ernest Eckhoff had just ac- cepted the position as janitor in the grade school; Bill Schneider was recently elected mayor of Paxton; Esther Brock, Betty Sandstedt, and Evelyn Beckstrand were working at the court house as stenographers. Ruth also mentioned that on her trip back to New York she rode on the same train with John Thompson. He was going as far as Pitts- burgh. He was the catcher for the Pirates. It was growing very late and I had a very busy day ahead of me, so we made ready to leave and decided to have a get-together some time soon. Just as I was about to step into the taxi, Ruth exclaimed, “Lola, have you heard the latest! Janet Swanson has taken Kitty Carlisle’s place and is now singing with Bing Crosby.”
