who has her own rancli in Oklahoma just left New York. She had been there selecting a new wardrobe. We got our trailor fixed and headed for the West. Chicago was our next stop. The Chicago paper said that Donaldson, Kreiger, and McDonald, who own the largest coal mining concern in the world, were being in Chicago for the “Annual Mining Convention.” We looked them up. They’re all looking swell. They said they were staying in Chicago another week so they could see “Anna Loncosky”. the best dressed woman in the w'orld, who was going to be there for Sally Barto's wedding. Sally is marrying a fellow from Detroit and Kuge Hopkins, now Mrs. Charles Barto is to be bridesmaid. Our next big stop was at Denver. Ruth Ross was there re-decorating the governor’s mansion. She said she had recently decorated Betty Miller’s exclusive dress shop in Salt Lake City. We stopped at Carol Simon’s ranch and can that girl talk. She told us that Edna Bollman was the organ player in “The Little Church Around the Corner” in New- York, and that Jim Fink and Rachel Young had their own General Merchandise Stores in Saxton. She said Glen Worthing had his own meat market in Martinsburg and that Mrs. Jack Brown (former- ly Lillian Rogers) and Mrs. Roy Miller (formerly Frances Melius) live in the same apartment house as Glen does. Our time was running short so we left Denver for Los Angeles. Here we saw the famous Dr. Heaten. He said that Doris Weaver is teaching Art at the University of Southern California and plans on quitting since she and Earl Snyder have gotten married. We decided we would just have to see Doris so we planned to meet her. She said Connie W'as teaching Health Education at the same University. She receives letters frequently from Mrs. Gene Shuke (Fern Dixon) who now run their own hardware and barber shop in Six Mile Run. Fern tells her that Paul Altobelli who took over his fathers business often comes to their place for a shave. Mrs. Paul Weaver (Doris Morningstar) lives next door to Fern. Next we w'ere San Francisco bound. We ran into Donny Brumbaugh who has his main office in San Francisco. He had just come home from vacationing in Florida. He said while he was down there he saw Mrs. Bob F.bersole (Javme Ramsev) also vacationing. Donny told us that Sam Reese and Ronnie Reid are both “big-shots” in California, since they have become such big successes in their profession of mechanics. We decided we would ride out in the country for a day. We happened to notice two girls riding horses. What a shock w'hen we discovered it was Jean inter and Gladys Foore. lean has her own ranch and Gladvs was visiting her. Jean said she had a letter from Bruce Barnett. He w-anted to buv a couple of horses from her for his farm. Bud Blair has a jewelry shop in dowmtown San Francisco. Remember! He was the “jew-el” of our class. As we were ready to start back we stopped at Mrs. Bill Kline’s (Maxine Baker) garage to re-gas our trailor. Sincerely, Sis. Blondie. Woo, and Gert

'Pro-fc ectf My Dear Miss Long, We want to express to you our most sincere gratitude for giving us your assistance in writing the essay on “W hy I Would Like To Tour America. which won us a free country trip and a beautiful deluxe trador in which ro travel. We stocked up at “Mutt and Audrey’s’' General Merchandise Store in Dudley, and got our gas at the Abbott and Dennis Garage. Then we were ready for our trip. Our first stop was New York at the Ritzy Millionaire Palace where Bobby Putt, the owner, lavishly entertained us. The c’imax of the evening was dancing to Gene Fix’s orchestra with John Anknev at the drums and |oe Manspeaker as the crooner. Putty persuaded us to stay another night. He took us out the next day to show us around New York a little. As we were eating our breakfast in Hazel Lytle’s Cafe. I glanced at the paper. On the front page in big head lines was written “Sallv Bnrto.” the famous physchiatrist. arriving today in this country from her lecturing tour in Europe. Putty phoned Buddy Hughes who now has his own hospitial in New York and asked him to go along to meet Sally at the airport. Buddy brought his head nurse, Betty Belle Stapleton and his wife, (Helen Elder) with him. W e met the plane and to our amazement Mona Mort was the pilot. We ate our dinner at the Waldorf Astoria. The special dish on the menu was “Kelly’s Meatballs.” That evening Mr. Putt escorted us to see the leading opera, “Madam Butterfly.” The leading opera star was Mary Reed with the celebrated pianist. Anna Iris McCahan. We left New York and journeyed to Pennsylvania and got there on time to see the game between the two undefeated teams of the year. Notre Dame and Penn State. Coach’ Shark’s and coach Cimbalista’s teams fought hard, but the game ended in a tie. Among the spectators were Andy Mak- simehak, the noted research chemist, working on Atomic Energy and Mayor of Philadelphia. Dick Burke. Penn State’s band was there with their drum majorette. “Sis” Baughman. By evening we made it to Pittsburgh. Since we didn’t know the city very well we decided to take in a good show, “The Ice Follies of 1958” starring the skating teams Howard Horton and Peggy (Winter) Horton. Eddie Dixon, the comedian, was there as a guest. We got-to talking to Peggy and Howard Horton about “old times.” They said that while they were on tour they saw a lot of the people that were in our class. They told us that Dotty Baker was teaching History in Philadelphia and that Tony Cuicci owns his own garage in Dudley. We psked them where George Wambaugh was. Comedian Eddie answered. “Oh, he and Maxine are busy raising a football team.” After we left Pittsburgh we had a little trouble with our trailor so we had to catch a bus into the next town. Guess who the bus driver was. cur old friend Shelton Collare. Shelton said that the lovely Miss Simon

{ £44 It was the year 1936, on a bright September day, That the 1948 graduating class Started merrily on its way. In Saxton, Dudley, and Six Mile Run Their happy school days had just begun. Time swiftly passed. In the fall of the year 1944 The kids all came to Saxton High, To finish their last “four.” All that fun and all those joys. Will long be remembered by the girls and boys. Now we are Seniors, and we shall soon part And travel in our own way, May we always remain loyal to our school days. And may we always be able to say, “We now have a treasure that money can’t buy, Those happy days spent at dear old Saxton Liberty High.” —Helen Elder COOPERATION NOT COMPETITION YELLOW ROSE W n4 BLUE AND GOLD
