CLASS February 19, , 1955 Dear Diary: We are making a trip over the United States and Mexico. Our group is composed of various persons interested in traveling and meeting different people. Three individuals who are accompanying us are Nellie Sears: Myra Stout, whose home is in Arkansasg and Colleen Woodside, who is soon to make a trip to Ireland. Leroy Stuckey also is with us, but he intends to stop in Hollywood for a while. Mardell Pennington, one of our usual group, is in South America at present. We arrived in Mexico City today and immediately set out to visit our foreign consul to Mexico. Of' course none of us knew who it would be, and were surprised to find it was Louise Claire DuBois. We traveled along the street, discovering many interesting things. We visited a school house where Peggy Epperson is principal. Other teachers were Della Chambersg Eunice Roberts, English teacher: Laura Belle Rush, language teacherg Joan Wrightg and Dorothy Majors, physical education teacher. Floyd Kennett and Linville Mumma were doing fine coaching and George Nettels and Richard Nesch were teaching engineering. These teachers are co- operating with the Mexican government in teaching American customs to Mexicans. February 26, 1955 Dear Diary: We arrived today in Hollywood which is really a city of wonders. The scenery here is exquisite. On the street one may see many different people. Jack Tanner, who always wanted to stroll along, was living up to his ambitions We turned the corner, only to hear a terrific crash. Jack Seroy had had a wreck, but no one was hurt. Audrie Ann Ellis and Shirley Pierce were living leisurely in this California climate, and Helen Moody and husband own a lovely home, Johnnie Bertoncino lives here, too, with his pretty wife and four children. We then decided to visit a moving picturc studio. On the road to the studio we encountered Bill Spencer, roaming the plains on his beautiful palomino. After we had seen some pictures in the making. the guide took our group to the main set, where a great picture was being made. Talent from all over the United States was being used. Pat Clemens was portraying the part of a Soap Opera star. Harold Umphenour, commonly compared to Benny Goodman, was leading his band in one scene featuring Mary Adele Woodbury and Betty Dunbar as his vocalists. The main attraction was Mary Jean Bill, the boogie- PROPHECY woogie pianist. Mary Cronin, a great violinist was making her debut in films, playing with Maestro Bob Murray's Philharmonic Orchestra. We spent the day watching the fascinating process of filming. It was so interesting we are returning tomorrow. February 27, 1955 Dear Diary: Today we met Mary Lou Griilin, portraying the part of mistress of the White House. Lois Allen, who incidentally makes 51,000 a week, was also a star. On the set we.met Robert Freeto, whose wife, an heiress, was in the picture. We left the set to look behind the scenes. The producer took us around to the different buildings where the pictures-were really made. On the scenery set we met the three interior decorators, Valarie Williams, Alice Ann Schneider, and Katherine Blair. Then we met the machinists, Junior Collins, Fred Hoffman, and Robert Huntington. Mary Lou Garrison, beauty operator, was responsible for the hair styles in the picture. Shirley Divoll was the dress designer, while June Ann Davidson did the cartooning. We're planning to leave for Denver tomorrow. March 1, 1955 Dear Diary: We arrived in Denver on the early morning plane. Our pilot was Kenneth Baldwin. He was assisted by Harry Cann. We had a very interesting interview with our hostess, Ruth Zehr. Denver is a very beautiful city. The first person we met was Nadine Wilson. After a long conversation we found out that she was an agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We visited the University of Colorado while we were still in the state. Some old school chums were taking an advanced course in engineering. We found that Jack Brumbaugh and Dale Romondo had recently graduated and have excellent positions as electrical engineers. Jack Sparks and Theo Evans were outstanding in their ability as architectural engineers, and Ray Dee Evans, aeronautical engineer, was doing work for the government. Oliver Shoup, a chemical engineer, and Don Bellamy, civil engineer, are seniors of this university and will graduate soon. One girl, Martha Jane Anderson, was studying to become a laboratory technician. Harry Neer was entering a hospital nearby for internship. In the commercial department we found Connie Coulter, Wilma Brett, Katherine Zellmer, Mardelle
