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.”
