We were interrupted by the public address system, paging a Captain Mike Cham- pagne of the United States Air Force. To our great surprise, who should get up from the table in back of us but Mike himself, another of our classmates. When he returned, we invited him to sit at our table, and with four of our Class of 53 together, we began reviewing the list of names we had not already mentioned. Mike said he had seen his cousin, Billy Peshek, on his last trip to Daytona Beach. Billy is owner of the largest Chicken farm in the South. While Mike was in Daytona Beach, he also saw Eileen Wilson, now the owner of an Elite Beauty Salon there. Time was flying; and, while it would have been wonderful to talk more With my old classmates, my plane was preparing for departure. After saying goodbye and promising to write, I boarded my plane and checked in the passengers. In Chicago, we had taken on six more, and while making them comfortable, I discovered that one was none other than Pat Woolley, now the private secretary to Becil C. Ar Millee, the movie producer. Pat said Mr. Ar Millee had just produced a smash hit starring Donald O,Lone, the famous movie actor, another of our class- mates. The trip being rough, Pat and I didn,t talk any more until we reached San Francisco where we made a date for dinner that night. It seemed I had heard of, or had seen, 2111 of my class of t53eall, except one. As I was straightening up the seats, I picked up a newspaper with Tommy Larrivee,s picture on the front page. Tommy, now owner of a whole Heet of stock cars, had broken the speed record for stock cars and was among the best drivers in the racing field. Now the list was complete. What had started as just another routine transcon- tinental Hight, had turned out to -he almost a 'class reunion. With fond memories of my school days still going through my mind, I left the airport and hailed a taxi for the hotel. PATRICIA HASKINS.
