On Monday morning before we left New York, we planned to do some shopping. We went into one of the Fifth Avenue Shops to look at some evening gowns. When the models came out wearing the evening gowns, whom do you suppose we saw? The loveliest most graceful girl wearing the most exquisite gown of the most heavenly blue that matched perfectly her most heavenly blue eyes was none other than Mary Louise Kuipers. After we had selected our evening gowns and Mary was free to talk for a minute or two, we found out that Dora Mae Hockema worked in the same shop--as a sec- retary. Since it was Dora's lunch time, she invited us to eat lunch with her. We told her about seeing all the other kids except Don Welsh. She told us that Don owned a farm about ten miles out of Lafayette, Indiana. Dora then told us that since she was going home on vacation in a few days, we might as well stay and ride home with her in her new Cadillac fwhich she had purchased from Jack M:y's Cadillac Sales 8- Service, of coursei. As we were nearing Lafayette, we decided to stop and see Don Welsh for awhile. Don naturally was in the field plowing with two of the cutest little boys riding on the tractor with him. Of course we guessed Don was married and the two little boys were his. As we were talking with Don, he told us he had married one of his high school sweethearts. Because we were very tired from our long iourney we bade Don good-by and came on home. Although we had a nice visit in New York, we were more than happy to get home and away from the big city. A Patch of Blue Sometimes when the rain keeps fallln' And the road seems mighty rough And you just can't help a-thinkin' That this life is mighty toughp .lust you smile and keep a-lookin'-- iAnd what l'm tellin' you is truei-- Somewhere peepin' through the rain clouds There 's a little patch of blue. Sure, you've had a heap of trouble, And l've had some troubles, too, But we'll find, if we keep smilin', That little patch of blue. --Mrs. F. O. Hendricks 21

A registered nurse she hopes to become, For all her patients she'll be lots of fun. Alice Remsburg our singing star, With all her talent she'll go afar. Alice Lee is nice and sweet, For some nice guy she'll be a treat. This little White girl that we call Dee , A stenographer she'd like to be.
