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.
