As I was eating breakfast early one summer morning in l96l,in the city of Reinbeck, I turned on the radio to hear an announcer saying that Dr. Elinor Linder, famous child specialist and head physician of the St.Francis Hospital in New York City, was to speak two evenings later at the annual Medical Convention at the Hotel Stakley in New York City. I rushed to the phone and quickly called up mytmo old girl friends, Ramona Halupnick and Betty Dinnebier,who is now Mrs. Don Moye, and who are farming the old homestead, and asked them to accompany me on a trip to New York City to hear Dr. Linder speak. They were very glad to accept the invha- tion. We decided to go via Chicago and make it a real vacation trip. We left the Reinbeck Airport at 10:00 and arrived at the Wilkinson Airport in Chicago at lO:u5. We were greeted by Allan, owner of the airfield, and his secretary, Miss Catherine Robinson. After a chat they invited us to lunch at the famous Larsen Inn which is located in the NHeart of the Loop.' Dale, the owner of the Inn, another one of our old classmates, sat down and visited with us. Dale informed us that if we would come back for the evening floor show, we would see Neva Ackerman as the featured star of the Heithoff Variety Show. The show was so well received by Dale's patrons that it is now running for its third season. We had to miss the floor show, much to our disappointment, as our next scheduled stop was at New York City, where we had arranged to see Bill Ragsdale catch for the New York Yankees, in the game against the hicago Cubs. We arrived at the ball park in plenty of time. During the game there was much booing at the umpire for the bad decisions he was making. Once, after he had called a strike, he turned around to pick up a bottle that had been thrown at him. We saw, in great surprise Craig Dirks, who formerly attended school with us. During the seventh inning stretch, we went down to the refreshment stand to get some pop. There we bumped into another one of our old classmates, Janice Paulsen. She told us that she was in town to see that game and do some shopping while Chuck was home taking care of the children. We went back to our seats and finished watch- ing the ball game. The Yankees won by four runs. 3:11 f X e .T K, . QQ'-L S 2

After the game we decided to gotoThe Manning Hotel and get our room for the night. The clerk gave the bell-hop our suitcases. The bell-hop was none other than Robert Bown. We had a chat on the way up to our rooms. He wanted to know what we were all doing since we had graduated. It didn't take long to reach our rooms. We ate at the Hoff's Cafe where we had a delicious chicken supper. After we had finished eating, we decided to goto our room and get a good night's sleqc We were up rather early the next morning and went down to have breakfast. We ate at a little coffee shop. We decided then we had better go to the bank to get some money if we were to go shopping. As we got in the bank we were met by the President of the bank, Lee Petersen. We talked a while and then hailed a taxi to take us to Macy's Department Store to do some shopping. As the taxi pulled up to the curb,we were surprised to see Richard Schick as the cab driver. We had a nice talk on the way to Macy's. We took an elevator,operated by Larry Trepp up to the fourth floor to the Women's Department. He told us that two more of our classmates were employed there. We reached the dress department where we were greeted by Helen Mennenga and Phyllis McIntyre, who were sales managers of that department. When we had finished looking at the lovely dresses, we went down for a coke. When we reached the drugstore and were seated in a booth, the waiter came over to take our order. WWhat will it be?' We looked up to see Everett Wrage, the soda jerk. He brought us our cokes and took time off to sit down and chat with us awhile. We enjoyed our cokes very much. We then thought maybe we would take in a little entertainment at a theater. We found out that Bill Vest had been manager of this theater for the last three years. The next day we went on a guided tour to Radio City. We were surprised to see Jim Lewis as the owner of an exclusive men's clothing shop on the lower floor of this huge building. That night we went to hear Dr. Linder give her talk before 500 guests. The talk was rather technical for us to understand but we were glad to see that one of our classmates had reached such fame since graduation. After the lecture we went to Elinor's apartment for a couple hours' chat before we left New York City for our return trip home. Senior P 0 e m We, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty one, Have really come to school to study-- Not just for fun. So maybe we have had many a different way, But we hope that some of them are here to stay. And here's to you, introducing a few, Some of the things you should know, too. First there's Everett Wrage, who makes the girls' pulses flutter, But when he's near them, his heart turns to butter. And then there's Elinor Linder, who will never an old maid be, The right guy will come, you wait and see.
